CALUMET REGION TO HAVE
SAME RATE AS CHICAGO

hardest fought controversies that mas
agitated the Chicago roads for a long
time. By it's terms the six "insurgent'
roads. the Alton. Illinois Central. Wa
BASH Santa Fe. Chicago and Eastern
Illinois, and Monon. that have refused
to become parties to the new reciprocal
switching arrangements. subscribe to
the agreement, but with a proviso elm
mating the switching rates on grain,
which have been the cause of the con-
troversy.
Advance Charge on Grain.
The reciprocal agreement provides
for the uniform absorption of switching
charges by all the roads All shippers
in the Chicago district will enjoy the
same rates regardless of their location.
The new plan will go into effect Aug. l..
including the provision that the coal
switching charges shall be absorbed as
in the past. on grain the switching
charges will be advanced and absorbed
between the lines parties to the agree
ment. but not on shipments coming
over the other six lines. If the roads
fail after further negotiations to adjust
their differences on grain the interstate
commerce commission will be called up
TO settle the matter.
THE six fnsurgent lines refused to
join the agreement. which has been APP
proved by a majority OF the roads, the
shippers and the interstate commerce
commission, because 1t compelled them
to absorb the inbound switching on
grain which has heretofore been paid
bv the eastern lines. In retaliation the
latter increased their switching rates
on coal coming from the six lines from

Smith. was called upon TO suspend the
new tariff.
Ends Two Years Contention.
The reciprocal arrangements is hail
ed as one of the Importance to the
welfare of the entire Chicago Industrial
district. 1t has been reached after
| over two years of conference betwee i
the roads and the shippers. during
which time $4,000 has been expended
for printing proofs of the various modi-

perce represented the petitioners.
A session was held in the Office
Of the county superintendent in the
morning where the respective coun-
sci presented the legal status of the
case. When this vas concluded,
Miss Henderson recommended to
the commissioners that they divide
the district, providing they had the
legal right to co 50.
In the afternoon the matter was
presented to the board. the district
court room being used as the place
of hearing IN order that the large
crowd Of people interested might be
able to hear the whole proceedings.
The merit and demerit of the propo-
sition being matter of history to
all living in this upper country, the
legal aspect Of the case vas only
presented.
The case comes under section AZ
Of the general school laws and this
statute is not as clear in regard to
the dividing of an Independent Dis
trict as It might be. The conten-
sion of counsel for the school dis
trict vas that in order to divide the
district an election would need be
held and then the matter must carry
by a two-thirds vote. The conten-
lion of the petitioners vas that it is
a matter that is discretionary with
the board and all that was necessary
10 bring the matter up for their con-
sideration was the presenting of a
petition signed by not less than ten
persons. Parents of children of school
age, who are residents of the dis
lrict to be affected.
County Attorney Fogg was re-
quested to furnish an opinion as to
ihe Boards authority to divide the
district and, in a lengthy opinion,
which seems to cover the subject
iully. he expresses a belief that the
commissioners have such authority.
There will be in the new district
lbout liz sections of land with an
assessed valuation of 100000 and
'5 children of school age as against
\ sections of land With an assessed
-aluation Of 5000 900 and 124 chill
