RATE HEARING THIS WEEK.
Uncertainty as to Line Of Defense to Be
Presented BY Railroads.

Special 70 Times-Republican
Des Moines, Oct. 26.-Representa-
tives of commercial bodies Interested in
the discrimination and proportional
rate cases to come this week before
Commiss Toner Harlan of the inters tate
commerce commission, are somewhat
puzzled to know just what line of de-
Tense is 10 be put up by the railroads.
It is expected that the railroads will
send from Chicago their best expert
rate lawyers. The evidence of diScrim- :
ination in rates will be uncontroverted
because the rate sheets will show for
themselves. But it is regarded as prob
able the railroads will claim these are
not unfair" Determinations but are
such as are forced by the conditions.
The evidence as to charging more for
a short haul than for long haul,
which included the former. will also be
such as can not be questioned but
what claim the railroads will make in
justification for this matter is not
known.
Des Moines will present its case first
and this has been carefully prepared by
E. B. Wylie. In substance it Will be
shown that where a Des Moines ship
per ships to the far west he is treated
as if his initial point was on the Mis-
sissippi river: while if he ships TO the
east he must pay a rate as if he was
located on the Missouri river. If he
ships to Rock Island, for instance, it
will cost him SO cents for 100 pounds
first class; but If the same box is con-
signed to Syracuse y. Y, and goes
thru Rock Island the charge viii be ~
cents for that part of the carriage be-
tween Des Moines and Rock Island. on
the other hand it will be shown. for
instance, that d shipper from Chicago
to Mason City will make a profit by
having the stuff unloaded and reloaded
at East Dubuque. Then again it will
be shown that from Des Moines to GER
tain points on the Great Western road
the charge viii be more than for dis
lance more than twice as far including
the same haul,
1t is anticipated that these cases will
bring to the attention Of the interstate
commerce commission situation call
ing for direct rate making on the part
Of that body.

one-Eishth Of Taxes Paid in Hardin
County Comes From Railroads.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls. Oct. 26.-While it seems
to be human tendency to decry the
railroads and allow no opportunity to
pass in which to malign these cor
porations, 1t is evident the railroad
companies are paying their full quota
Of taxes for doing business in this
county, at least. While there are no
big terminals in the county aside from
the Rock Island in this city, the rail-
roads pay close to one eighth OF the
taxes collected by the county treasurer.
Reduced to actual figures, it is shown
that the railroads pay $4,000, as their
share Of supporting the county. state
and city governments.
