MINNESOTA WANTS
SETTLERS RATES
IMMI GRAFTON AND RAILROAD
COMMISSIONS TAKE UP AL.
LEGGED DlscRlMINA-
TON,

st. Paul, May Sin en- effort to
secure for Minnesota the same home
seekers rates as are given by the
Western Passenger association to
points in Dakota, Canada, Montana
and other states, the Minnesota Rail-
road and Warehouse commission yes
terday asked Attorney General Simp-
son to make formal complaint to the
interstate commerce commission alleg-
ing that the present rates are discrim-
inatory and asking that Minnesota be
given the same rates, in proportion to
mileage, as other states enjoy.
Until two years ago Minnesota had
the same rates from eastern points as
other states, but shortly after the pas
sage of the 2-cent fare law and the
freight rate reductions the Minnesota
homeseekers' rates were. withdrawn.
At present rates of about one and one
half fare for the round trip are quoted
from Chicago and eastern points to a
large number of points in the Dako-
tas. wisconsin, Michigan, Kansas, Ne
braska, practically all the states west
and south of here and also to western
Canada. AS a result, a man looking
for land can go cheaper TO points in
Dakota than he can to Minnesota, and
when a land agent starts out with a
party he naturally forgets Minnesota.
AS an advertising ma ter alone, 1t
makes a difference to Minnesota, be-
cause the state is left out of the an
nouncements of homeseekers' rates.
Trying to Get Rate.
4 For more than a year the railroad
commission and the state immigration
commission have been trying to get
the rates to Minnesota points restored
They first appealed to the Western
Passenger association, but got no sat-
isfaction. Then the commission took
it up individually with the three north
ern lines, the Great Northern, the
Northern Pacific and the 500 line, but
accomplished nothing. Yesterday the
commission transmitted all the CORES
pondence and other papers in the mat
ter to the attorney general, and as
soon as he can draw up the formal
complaint he viii take the case to the
federal commission, charging that
Minnesota is Disseminated against.
Iowa is about the only state besides
Minnesota that does not get benefit
of these rates. Homeseekers' rates
are given to a large number of points
in northern Wisconsin and Michigan,
in Wisconsin as close to Minnesota as
st. Croix Falls. Rates aIe given to
Fargo and other points along the Min
nesota line No rates are given TO
Iowa, but whether this is as punish
ment for the enactment of a 2-cent
fare in that state or whether it is be-
cause there is no unoccupied land Is
not known.
Some people looking for land In
Minnesota have bought tickets to Far
go or other points in the Dakotas, but
members of the railroad commission
say that this Is seldom done, for the
tickets, in order to be good for return
must be validated at the point they
are sold to.
