dition it was necessary for the
Board to make schedule of job
bers' and differential rates, this
in order that the river and in
terror jobbing centers might lay
their merchandise down at COM
petitive points in Kansas at as
near the same amount of freight
as possible, and maintain a tariff
which can be defended in the
courts. s There will of necessity
be considerable agitation over
these jobbers' rates on account
of the fact that it is but natural
that each jobber of merchandise
whether located on the Missouri
river or interior of Kansas, de-
sires to maintain all his present
trade advantages and in the gen.
eral scram BILE secure all addition
al benefits possible.
The jobbing interests of Kan
sas are not materially interest
ed in reduction of freight rates
their interest lying almost solely
in the equality or parity of their
rates with those of their bust
ness competitor. It is almost
solely the producer and consum-
er who pay the freight, and to
assist this great unorganized
mass was the chief object of the
Board in preparing the new rates.
The only interest these two
classes of shippers have in the
parity of rates IS that the rate be
so adjusted as to give them the
widest possible range of markets
in which to buy and sell, and it
will be the aim of the Board to
conserve their interests in this
regard. The jobblng interests
of both the river and interior
commercial centers are highly
organized and am ply able to
take care of themselves before
the Board and the courts. The
large daily newspapers of the
state are located at these COM
mercial centers, and will natural
ly take much interests in the Job
berS' rates and extension of
trade benefits to their several To-
calities. 1t is quite likely that
none of the jobbing centers will
get all the good things they
would like, as the Board must
do two things. First, Build a
tariff it can defend in the courts
and second, Protect the interests
of the producers and consumers
as well as OF the JobberS.
There are many technical and
annoying com mercial conditions
prevailing in the business life o.
Kansas and its relation to the
markets of the world, but i
should be remembered that al
these conditions cannot be taker
care of in the building of dis
lance tariff, because the rate:
quoted in such high tariff apply
on shipments between any two
stations in Kansas, and not only
between the two cities where the
commercial conditions exist
Generally speaking, such condi
tons must be taken care of b.
making of terminal rates on tn,
specific article of merchandise,
between the points where tn,
commercial condition prevails.

The constructing of distance
tariff quoting freight rates on
classes and commodities for
great state like Kansas is at the
best very intricate affair.
While vitality interesting to both
the producer and consumer,
such tariff is, of necessity, one
rather difficult to understand,
and on account of the many in
quiries received from shippers
of this class asking on explana-
ton of the tariff, this article is
written.
The new schedule ofrates pre-
PAL ed under the direction of the
Board of Railroad Commission
ers is what is known as distance
tariff" 1t derives it's name from
the fact that it founded upon dis
lance, with commercial condi-
tons secondary consideration,
rates on the classes and all the
commodities staple to Kansas be-
ing quoted for each five mile dis
lance up to 200 miles, and each
ten-mile distance thereafter to
500 miles. The class rates car
ried in the tariff are 1st Class,
End Class, 3rd Class, 4th Class,
5th Glass and Classes A, B, =,
p D and E; and the commodity
rates are on lumber, hard, soft
and slack coal, salt, wheat and a
large numb Der of articles taking
wheat rates; other grain, which
includes corn; horses and mules
cattle, hogs, sheep. brick, sand,
hay, lime. cement, and stone.
To find the rate on any article
not named in the list of commo-
dities the shipper must refer to
to the Western Classification, on
file with all depot agents, where
he will find the particular class
to apply.
The rates quoted in the dis
lance tariff apply as maximum
to all other rates on shipments
between points in Kansas.
That is to say: The terminal
rates on cattle, hogs, sheep,
grain and it's products, aud hay,
from stations in Kansas to Kan
sas City, Atchison and Leaven-
worth, shall not be greater than
the rate given for like distance
under the distance tariff. The
same is true of coal, brick, lime,
cement, salt, sand, stone and
other staple commodities moy-
ing from points of production to
points of consumption, the rates
for the transportation of which
the Kansas producers and con-
sumers are vitality interested in.
The reductions in rates pro-
vided for by the new schedule on
the above-named commodities.
as well as on merchandise, is ap-
proximately twenty per cent.
The freight rates now paid for
the transportation of such COM
modities will be reduced one
fifth. Investigation has shown
that Kansas is now bearing a
very unjust proportion of the
freight-rate burden of the coun-
try.
The twenay per cent reduc-
ton in present rates brought the
new schedule of distance-tariff
rates below the present jobbers'
scale of rates, thereby destroy
ing the parity of merchandise
rates heretofore existing be-
tween the river aud interior Job
bing points. To meet this con-

Ex-Governor are also typical of the re.
