HENRY WALLACE SAYS THAT
IOWA COMMISSION IGNORED
STockMEN's APPEAL.
FARMERS HAD TO BEAR
EXPENSE OF RATE HEARING
Advance in Rates Would Have to Be
Borne by Consumers - Law Gives
Iowa Commission Power to Appear
for Commission But It Failed to Do
This.

Des Moines, Sept. 5.-Henry Wallace
commented on the fact that Iowa
farmers and stockmen, at their own
expense, had to employ a lawyer to
represent the agricultural interests and
producers of the state at the hearing
in Chicago in which the railroads
have been defending a threa tened in
crease in freight rates. The law gives
the Iowa railroad commission power TO
appear for Iowa people-hut ii did not.
The interstate commerce commits
sion the past week at Chicago held the
first hearing on the proposed general
advance in freight rates.
In this connection it is worth While
TO recall a little history" said Mr.. II.
{. Wallace Yesterday.
When President Taft sent his
amendment TO the rate bill to congress
i, seemed 10 permit the railroads 10
advance rates on their own motion and
left II 70 the shippers to fight these
advances after they had gone into eff
feet. y question concerning this was
raised by some of the progressive sem
a;ors and an amendment was intro
duced which would require the rail-
roads 10 secure the approval of the
interstate commerce commission be-
fore any advance in rates should go
into effect. This amendment was
fought most strenuous!y.
Finally Senator Cummins secured
the passage of an amendment which
throws the burden Of proof upon the
railroads 10 show that any proposed
advances are justifed-the interstate
commerce commission TO De the
arbi:er.
Had it not been for this amend
rlent the advances which are now pro-
posed would already be in effect and
the shippers would be compelled to
pay the increased rate while making
their fight against them.

acted the railroads are now endeavor

this was introduced a, the hearing a,

ence with the railroad officials and
then announced in the daily papers thai
after having gone into the matter thor
cughly they were convinced that the
railroads were entitled to the advances
and that they had agreed to them.
THE packers further stated that the
consumers Of meat products need have
no fear that the advances in freight
rates would increase the price of meat.
1T Is estimated that these advances.
liz they go into effect, will make a diff
ference of between 100000 and 49,
100000. This must be borne either by
the consumers or by the packers, or by
the men who produce the livestock. The
packers have announced publicly that
the consumers will not be expected to
pay.
The burden will therefore fall either
on the packers or on the producers
of the livestock. The packers have
ton to pocket the loss of 100000 to
suppose that they are willing to do 1t
now
consequently the burden Of these
advances will fall upon the producers
of livestock.
Farmers Must Bear II.
"This means that the farmers and
stockmen of Iowa will bear the larger
share. because they send more live
stock to Chicago than any other state.
For this reason the Corn Belt Meat
Producers Association on behalf of rs
members and the livestock interests
generally. sent Mr.. Clifford Thorne
10 Chicago last week to represent them
in this hearing.
The thirty second general assembly
enacted law which makes Ii the duty
of the state board of railroad commits
sioners of Iowa to inform themselves
concerning freight rates both within
and without the state. and 10 protect
the interests of the people of Iowa and
to this end gives the commissioners
power to call upon the services of the
attorney general whenever necessary.
Under this law il is clearly the duty
of the Iowa railroad commissioners to
represent the people of the state at
hearings such as that held last week.
With its present membership. how
ever. the commission is hopeless and
it was left to a voluntary organization
of farmers and stockmen to raise the
money necessary to pay an attorney
stock interests Of the state.
Among the proposed advances there
are. no doubt. many which vitality az
feet the commercial and manufacturing
interests Of Iowa. and these interests
should be represented at all of the
hearings"
