Madison.-In a most comprehen-
sive and exhaustive contribution 10
the literature governing the railway
problems of the age, the WIS
consin railway rate commission hand
ed down its report and promul-
gates an order, which, unless contest
ed in the courts, within 20 days VIII
reduce the rate for passenger fares
upon Wisconsin roads to 21R cents
per mile, and through a supplemental
order. authorizes the Issuing OF mile
age books Of 500 miles subject TO fam
lily use, for ten dollars.
This statement summarizes the adj
vantages to the people of Wisconsin Sc
cured through the order Of the com
mission. Instead of a maximum rate
OF three cents, unless the order OF the
commission is overturned by the
courts upon suit 81 the railway com
panies after 20 days the rate upon
Wisconsin roads will be 2l2 cents.
The report fully covers in the most
convincing and conclusive way the
legal, economic and statistical feat
ures OF the controversy upon com
plants made by A. f.. Buell., w l..
Mouser, A. II. Dahl, G. l.. Cox and
Others as to the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st Paul. the Chicago a. Northwest
.ern and the Chicago, Milwaukee e
Omaha railways. The order Of the
commission institutes 212 cent rate
upon these three principal lines. It Is
understood that supplemental orders
affecting the rate for passenger fares
will be made in the near future as to
the Wisconsin Central. the Burling.
ton, and possibly some of the lesser
state lines. In some instances this
may not be necessary, for the smaller
roads may be forced to accept the
rate upon competitive basis
The report is the work of the en-
tire commission the treatment Of the
legal phases of the complex question
being left to Commissioner John
Barnes, whose citations Of law and the
arguments upon which conclusions
were arrived at, will serve as a
standard of investigation and re
search. The discussion relating to
the economic side Of the case Is un.
dcrstood TO have been the product of
Commissioner -. II. Meyer, while the
vast detail of statistical research,
which In the report submitted covers
every possible element Of cost or
transportation, Is the result of the
work of Commissioner lIalford Erick
son. Each commissioner, after months
of as serious and earnest effort as
could be devoted by trained men to a
problem as pcrpleNing as Is the one
they have determined, contributed "A
share to the most valuable scientific
discussion relating to the railway
problem ever presented in America.
The present maximum rate of three
cents a mile Is reduced to u cents a
mile, This order is the result Of a
most thorough investigation and a
long series of hearings extending over
nearly n year. The demand for lower
passenger rates was made individual

Nations Wealth iO7 Billions.

The following report of the wealth
of the United States has just been
given out.
The total estimate Of the national
wealth in 1904 was sl07, l04, 1872, 4l0,
accoi ding to a special report issued
today by the census bureau ON wealth,
debt and taxation, which represents
an increase In the four year period
from 1900 to 1904 of sls, 5Ss, SS5. .635.
This advance in national wealth has
no parallel In the history Of the Unit
ed States except the decade from 1850
to 1860. In 1850, when the first esti-
mates Of the national wealth were
made, the figures we're only 81, l35, :
7S0, 22S. The most potent cause for
the increase In the nations wealth
from 1900 to 1904, it Is stated, was the
reaction from the low prices of the
period of depression fiom 1893 to
1896. The annual increase Of wealth
per family from 1900 to 1904 was slS2.
