REFUSE LOWER RATE
Railroad Commissions Order Reducing
fates To The State Fair Ignored
WILL FIGHT NEW IOWA STATUTE
Attorneys for Transportation Com
Panies Claim that Law Which
Would Fix Rates for Fairs
is Unconstitutional.

Des Moines.-Railroad of Iowa
have decided not to grant visitors
to the Iowa state fair a rate OF ~
cents a mile, according to apparently
authentic reports. They will resist
the recent order of the railroad com
mission, issued on authority OF a
law passed by the Thirty-ffth gener.
al assembly.
The course that will be taken by
the companies has not as vet been
selected between Iowa attorneys and
executive heads of several railroads.
One Of the roads executives saws
that the law which authorized the
new rate is unconstitutional because
1t is discriminatory. The law in
structs the commission to order a
rate OF ~ cents a mile for fairs with
$4,000 paid admissions. The state
fair is the only exposition benefited.
There are several ways in which the
railroads may act. An Injunction
might be secured against the enforce
ment Of the commissions order, but
1t is hardly probable such win be
sought. What the railroads will do.
1t Is understood, will be to refuse TO
put the rate into effect. This will
lay them open to a fine OF $50 a day
unless they can prove the law to be
unconstitutional, which they are con.
fdent can be done.

Col. Martin Michael Mulhall began
before the senate lobby investigation

The Underwood Simmons tariff bill,
which was introduced in the senate at
