CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 29.-"lf the raIl-
roads would conduct their affairs along
the lines Of any well managed manufa.-
turing or other corporations and put 4
proper amount of their earnings into be-
tcrments. there would be no necessity for
increasing rates and public amnesty
would not be aroused. The railroads
have pursue! the policy Of the Arkansas
farmer. When it rained, they couldn
fix their roof, and when it didn't RAIN
they didn't need to Tx IL.
This is the keynote of a letter received
yesterday by the Illinois Manufacturers
association from G. {. llanch of Indian

"Ihc railroad people ami the railroad
