awaited here. Local business men
declare that the victory is not only
a great one in the reduction Of rates
on present business but that 1t re-
moves a severe handicap to industrial
progress for I.eokuk.
Manager John Dewitt of the Indus
trial Association, was busy today re-
cevding congratulations on the vic
tory. 1t was not until after he came
here that Keokuk took an active part
in the rate fight and he has been in
close touch with the state authorities
and has assisted them throughout
the fight in the past year.
Many Things Involved.
There were several different points
involved in the decision of the COM
mission which was handed down by
Commissioner Harlan and in every
instance the Iowa shipper won vic
tory The following dispatch to the
Des Moines Register and Leader in
"a complete account Of the decision:
The decisions were handed down by
Commissioner Harlan and are adj
verse to the roads on the ground their
rates are unreasonable and discrim-
|inatory. The effect of the decision is
certain to be Of Importance to the
commercial development of Iowa. The
first case decided is what is known as
the Mississippi river case. In this it
|is held the present rates between the
upper Mississippi river crossings in
Iowa and points east of the Indiana
Illinois state line are excessive and
unreasonable in themselves, and un-
duly discriminatory when compared
with the rates to the lower crossings.
Lower class rates are prescribed.
Limit Set on Rates.
The upper crossing includes Keo-
kuk, Fort Madison, Burlington Mus
catine, Davenport. Clinton and Du-
buque.
| In this case the roads are ordered
/ by November to establish class rates
between New York and the upper
crossings which shall not exceed the
following in cents per hundred
pounds:
Glass ], so: class 2, rs; class 8,
! 60: class 4, AZ; class 5, SO; class 6, so.
| Class rates between the upper cross
ings and all other points In trunk
line territory are to be fixed with the
same relation to New York rates as
before.
In the interior Iowa cities case, as
lit is called, being the case of the
state of Iowa VS. the Milwaukee, et
al, and the state VS.. New York Cen
trail, ct al, there is lengthy decis
ion which involves these three points

! The victory is regarded as the big
kgest impulse for industrial progress
Keokuk has had since the building Of
the dam and will greatly aid all Iowa
river cities, removing as it does, the
advantage Quincy, III, Hannibal, Mo-,
and st. Louis, Mo-, have in the lower
rate from certain points The reduc-
tion does not quite equal the lower
river rate but SO nearly a~ TO remove
the handicap. the rates have proved
to be to nothern Iowa cities.
The decision will save Keokuk ship
pers approximately $4,000 year and
most Of the saving is on the lower
class of commodities which makes up
the bulk of shipping. To the Swift &
Co. it will save probably $1,000 a
year.
Under the present rates the charge
from points east of the Illinois and
Indiana state line to Keokuk and
other upper river cities is much higher
than It is between those points and
points below Keokuk to st. Louis.
But from the same points west to
the coast the rate is the same. This
gives the lower cities quite an ad-
vantage. The nice part of the decis-
Ion as seen by Manager Dewitt is
that the rates not only from New
York and other Atlantic coast points
70 Keokuk is lower but that rates be-
tween intermediate points east of the
lllinois-Indiana state line are proper
tionally lowered.
Was Long Fight.
The fight was begun two years ago
BY the state of Iowa and Keokuk later
became an important figure In the
battle. In January, 1911, Special Ex
aminer Burchmore heard the case Of
the Keokuk shippers in this city. On
November Is, 1912, the final argu
ments We're made before the inter
state commerce commission in Wash
ington, D. c., and Keokuk was spec
lally represented in this by Clifford
Thorne and Colonel Smith Brookhart

austrial Association attended the
hearings to assist in the presentation
OF the Keolsuk case.

expected that when the money bags

case. The fact is that money could
not keep pace with tho development
natural to demands of 100000 new peo-
pie Il year. Towns and cities had to
be built to take care OF the country
and capital had not made sufficient
preparation.
But the crop OF 1918 will restore
conditions to 4 normal state, and the
natural and reasonable development
will continue.
Owing to a wet fall in 1912. and a
heavy snowfall during the past winter
there was large area which It was
difficult TO seed at the usual time the
past spring. Therefore as u general
thing seeding was later than usual. A
trip through the country in the early
part OF August showed that this was
no drawback. Wheat that had been
seeded in May was already ripening,
and had n stand fully as good as any
country had ever produced; the heads
were large and the prospects were Of
