WHERE DISTANCE TARIFF is
NEFilED


Another instance of the iugglery in
railroad rates was brought out in the
move which is being made for the
building of concrete bridge and dam
IN this city One Of the firms which
submitted a bid last week, was the
Marsh Engineering Co., Of Des
Moines. Iowa. In preparing their
estimates for the bid, the company
asked for quotation upon the
crushed stone to be used therein,
from a firm in Iowa Falls, the quota
tion to be f. o. b. Albert Lea. In
looking up the rate, the stone CON-
pany found that the best rate they
could get to this city was $1.20 a
ton, While the Iowa rate for the same
distance, eighty five miles, is 6S cents.
Just why it costs more to ship the
crushed rock to Albert Lea than it
does over exactly the same distance in
Iowa, the roads do not explain
Albert Lea Tribune.
The reason is easy of explanation.
Iowa has the distance tariff law in
force, while in Minnesota the railroads
are permitted to show all of the favor
itism in rates that they desire to. The
last legislature in the eastman bill tried
to remedy this rank discrimination in
freight rates, but the Twin cities Joined
with the railroads to defeat the bill.
All should continue to remem Der
the eastman bill in manner that
will make the..Twin cities little more
cautious about buttlng in when like
bill comes up at the next session of the
legislature. The defeat of the eastman
bill means great financial loss every
year to all Of the smaller towns of the
