ohio's Experience
When Ohio enacted the 2-cent fare
law few years ago, The railways first
attempted to fight it by refusing To
make it apply to other than state bust
ness, the interstate tariffs being figur-
ed on the old schedule of cents per
mile. The rule caused the railways
endless trouble, and finally they de-
cided to relent and revised their in
terstate passenger schedules to con.
form with the 2-cent rate in Ohio.
Local passenger agents declare that
the 2-cent rate will undoubtedly result
In diminishing the number of local en-
cursions. Special trains will be run If
the crowds warrant it. but the 2-cent
rate will be adhered to.
No State Fair Rates
There is now serious doubt as to
whether the roads will make rates Tor
the annual Iowa state fair. Last year
they made one fare rate for the
round trip, or cents mile. This
year, if they insist on the straight q
cent rate, it will be cents per mile.
By making it fare and a half The
round trip rate could be made 8 cent
per mile, the same as last year, but
some Of the roads are opposed to do.

The certificate rate plan will be
