Railroad Rate Hearing.
A joint meeting of the railroad COM
mittees of the Senate and House met
last evening in the Senate chamber
at the capitol with representatives of
the A. T. and S. F. railroad, to con-
slider the three cent railroad rate bill
and other proposed railroad legisla-
tion now pending before the legisla-
ture. J. R. Koontz, general freight
agent for the Santa Fe at Topeka,
Kansas, discussed the merits Of the
bill, pointing out that the constitution
covered everything proposed in the
bill and that Legislation on the subject
is unnecessary. Judge H. l.. Waldo OF
the Santa Fe at Las Vegas said he
had no objection to offer to proper
regulation but that the state corpora
ton commission had full authority to
make rates and that the. present bill is
therefore superfuous. Officials of the
Santa Fe said the other roads of the
state had right to be heard and sug-
aested that another hearing be had
when they could be represented. The
committees adjourned until May y,
when the subject will be fully gone
into.
