western Lumbermen's association now
meeting there and which will be good
for one more day will be off after to-
morrow and then-then the good people
will have to pay the regular rate of
$2.70 for the round trip or choose the
only remaining alternative, of staying
at home.
This Is the final low fare rate to
Kansas City, according to many of the
passenger officials of the roads con-
verging in Topeka. They argue that
it was brought about by a combina-
ton of circumstances which could not
be avoided and will happen again
maybe in a thousand years or so.
Quite Juror was caused in passen-
ger circles a few days ago when word
came from the big passenger officials
big meeting in Kansas City. 1t was
unaccounted for, the officials say it
could not be avoided and had to come.
These same conditions in the West
ern Passenger association, they say,
will arise again no more. Efforts have
been made and will be successful In so
arranging the internal affairs OF the
association SO that nothing further OF
the kind will happen. This present rate
which is said could not have been
avoided, was undoubtedly regretted by
railway officials.
officials of the various passenger de-
partment allege they are confident that
nothing further of this kind will arise.
On the other hand they insist chat the
railroads in this section of the country
at least will make strict adherence
to the minimum of two cent rate.
The State Journal interviewed one
of the leading passenger officials OF
Topeka today. In talking over the rates
for next summer the official stated that
there would be no rates granted this
coming summer that were not granted
a year ago. At that time of course
there were the regular summer tourists
rates effective to almost every resort,
and these were not determined by the
two cent rate. There will not in his
opinion be any summer Sunday eXcur-
sions or anything of that sort which
in the days of the old three cent rate
were so popular. Last summer an effort
was made by one or two of the roads
to inaugurate the old system but this
fell fiat.
At the present time the only rates
offered in the west are the homeseekers'
rates to the west and southwest and
the rates to California and the North
west; these sales are on the year round.
The prospect for reduced rates doesn't
look very favorable to the public now,
and there seems to be no disposition on
the part of the railroad officials to in
augurate any lower tariffs.
