CLAIMS RAILROADS
MAKE DECENTRALIZATION

Sioux Falls. S. D., March ANSWERS
to the bills Of complaint of the various
railroad companies having lines in the
state, in the cases involving the reduc-
ton of the passenger rates in South
Dakota from 3 to 2a cents per mile,
have been filed in the United States
court in this city by p. w. Dougherty,
assistant attorney general and counsel
of the South Dakota board of railroad
commissioners.
Counsel Dougherty in his answer in
cfudes the following railroads: The Chi
cago q Northwestern; Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul; Chicago, Rock ISL
and e. Pacific; Minneapolis & St. Louis;
Chicago. Burlington * Quincy; Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis e. Omaha; Pierre,
Rapid City & Northwestern, and the
Pierre & Fort Pierre Bridge railway.
Give Fictitious Value.
In the case of the Milwaukee com
pany Attorney Dougherty denies that
the lines and property of the company
in South Dakota is worth S45. 900, 600, as
claimed by the company, and alleges
that the fair value is not more than
SIS. 600, 900.
In the answer it is denied that the
proposed reduced rate of passenger
fares would reduce the income of the
company in any amount whatever, but
would stimulate traffic. The answers
further allege that the order OF the rail
road commissioners fixing the rate n
fare of charges for the transportation
of persons with ordinary baggage, not
exceeding $50 pounds, at 22 cents pei
passenger per mile is a reasonable order
and rate. and hat for the past three
years the said passenger fares over
the lines OF the great railway systems
in South Dakota, not including the
great amount of free transportation is
sued by the companies, amounted to an
average of about "a cents per passen.
ger per mile.
Railroads Misrepresent.
The figures Of earnings and expenses
furnished by the railroad companies are
claimed in the answers not to be the
true figures, the railroad companies be-
ing virtually charged with misrepre-
senting the amount of business tran
sacted by their lines within the state
of South Dakota.
1t is further charged in the answers
that the great railroad systems which
nave during the past year or two ex-
tended their ines in the state have
been engaged in exploiting townsites
and farm lands along the new extern
sions, from which 1t is alleged they
have derived large profits, and that
these alleged profits were not included
in the figures furnished by the railroad
companies n which are a part of the
case of the railroad companies in their
fight To a W the railroad commissions
ers permanently enjoined from putting
the proposed chedule of reduced pas
n rates into effect.
