 PUT ON THE NEW RATES

Kansas City. March l2-The Missou- ri. Kansas and Texas Railroad, which has promised Oklahoma merchants to put in a through rate of $1.1O first class from New York to Oklahoma City, will be alone in its new rate. fl it eventually does put 1t into effect was declared here today by practically all the railroads that might meet the rate.
 Officials of the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe. the St. Louis and San Fran cisco, and the Rock Island roads as- serted that their lines had no intention of putting in the new rates.
 The proposed s1.10 rate. which is for goods routed via Galveston, Is 37 cents lower than the New York Kansas City rates and about 70 cents lower than the present New York Oklahoma City rate.
 Vice President Halle, of the Missouri.

When Kansas City merchants learned this fact. they immediately began an active campaign to obtain a propor- tionate reduction for Kansas City. but so far they have been unsuccessful.
