Distance Tariff Measure Subject
T.. Of Absorbing Interest
- T.. '7't
OPPONENTS MAKING AARDFIGA1
Declare Such a Law Would BE Unfair
to Longer Line Of Railroad at
Competitive Points.

st. Paul. Feb. 6.-The' eastman dis
lance tariff bill has been subject of
absorbing interest during the past
week. Generally it is little understood;
yet it's underlying principle is simple
and It's provisions are plain. Under
It railroad rates in Minnesota would
be uniform for equal distances. The
rate in not SO much q mile for any
given class of freight The shorter
the distance the higher the mile rate
and the longer the distance the lower
the mile rate. But for any given dis
lance the rate would be the same on
any given class of freight on all roads
and to and from all points. Thus it
would cost the same to haul q carload
OF grain or Of coal hundred miles
whether it were handled between Du-
luth and st. Paul, between Mankato
and st. Cloud, or between Duluth and
Fergus Falls. There would be no dis
elimination as between localities or az
between shippers. -
j. + j.
Although the opposition to the bill
10 very active, especially among the
millers: manufacturers and jobbers of
the Twin Cities and on the part OF. the
railroads themselves, and although the
hill has sheen bitterly. attacked, the
public argument against it has: been
confined up to this time largely, to a
single point. The nnfairness of the
alleged railroad discrimination III ia.
Vor of the Twin Cities as at present
practiced has not been defended. The
one point that is insisted upon, and it
is a strong one, is that such a law
would make railroad competition i'm
possible and work hardship, where
there are two railroad lines of unequal
length between any two given points,

on the long line and on the people
who do shipping at stations at inter
mediate points on the long line. As
It is now the long line is allowed to
meet the rates on the short line Un-
der rigid distance tariff law this
could not be done. For instance, there
are two roads between Minneapolis
and Waseca. The distance by the Min
neapolis and st. Louis road is eighty
eight miles The distance by the Chi
cago and Northwestern railway is 107
miles 1t is plain that on purely
mileage basis the Chicago and North
western railway: could not compete
with the Minneapolis and st. Louis at
Waseca. So far as traffic between
those points is concerned the Chicago
and Northwestern railway would be
driven out of business. The rates at
intermediate points at no greater dis
tance from Minneapolis in a straight
line on the Chicago and Northwestern
would necessarily be greater than the
rates at intermediate points on the
Minneapolis and ST. Louis and, with
the same maximum tariff. higher than
they are now.
X + j.
The point Mr.. eastman makes in
this case is that Waseca need not nee
essarily do all its business with Min
neapolis. Under fair rates Mankato,
which is in a direct line over the
Northwestern could compete with the
Twin Cities. 1t is his contention that
at practically every station in the state
where the greater distance would shut
out trade 10 the Twin Cities it would
be of corresponding advantage to
some interior jobting point and thus
have q tendency to build up business
IN the smaller cities. While this is
doubtless to great extent true it does
not entirely overcome the objections
to an inf1exible distance tariff and, so
far as one can judge, the general opin-
ion seems to be. except On the part OF
those bent at all hazards on maintain
ing the present determinations in ia.
yor Of the Twin Cities: who would op-
nose any tariff based on mileage, that
che bill might prove OF advantage if it
