DOLLAR-A-CAR CATTLE CHARGE
Tax Would Cost Topeka Roads
100000 Yearly.
VIII Absorption of Levy Cut
Down Improvements!

According to complaints coming to
railroad circles in Topeka there is I'M
easiness among the cattle shippers of
Kansas concerning the action of the
Kansas City Connecting Railways COM
pany in asking the state for a right
to do business on the MiSSouri-Kansas
line. It is estimated that the Topeka
railroads alone will have to contribute
100000 year to the newly organized
stock yard company and the shippers
are wondering if this money will come
out of their pockets.
Here is the trouble
The Kansas City Connecting Rail-
ways company. recently orga nized, has
asked the state utilities commission
for a certificate TO operate in this state.
When the six miles of switches are
Incorporated and given the right to
make the charges of a railroad, there
is a plan which will net a neat reve-
nue. to the stock yards company. One
dollar a car will be charged the rail-
roads for the switching over the six
miles of tracks.
The Kansas City Connecting Rail-
ways company is an organization of
the packers controlling the stock yards
facilities at Kansas City. Heretofore
the railroads have found it necessary to
pay only a loading and unloading
charge. When the packers found that
they owned a few rails and switches.
and that an Orga niZa ton as a railroad,
duly approved. would give them the
privilege of making freight charges. the
idea of one dollar car tax Melted
a plan for future revenue.
shippers Are Worried.
The shippers series of complaints to
the railway men in Topeka bear on the
ultimate charge of the One-dollar-a-
car. If the railroads are charged one
dollar a car for each carload of cattle
shipped to the stock yards the addition
a expense must be borne either by the
carrier the shipper.
Which will it be?
1t is the belief around the circles of
utilities commission and Topeka rail-
way offices that the transportation
companies will be asked to absorb the
charges through some other channel
and not disturb the existing cattle
a gree to a plan of this kind-the ship
pers will be relieved.
With this a greement however, would
arise another question.
Would the action of the utilities COM

tween the railroads and the shippers.
smoothing over the shippers interests
and taxing the railroads, be of fairness
to the roads that viii have to poul a
quarter of a million dollars annually
into the Golfers of the Connecting Rail-
ways company?
The arguments on both sides of the
question have stirred up an unusual in

The Star is obliged to reduce on
some other local matters today in
order to give space to the council
proceedings, which should always be
of considerable interest. 1t will be
seen that the street committee wish
es to put the street to the new hos
pital building in good shape and the
council will probably do so as soon
as possible. The council is not will
ling to give Mr.. Clifford Anderson
the track he needs into his plant on
Osceola avenue. The Star regrets
the inconvenience TO Mr.. Anderson
that will ensue, but the principle the
council announces is sound, and will
be for the best interest of the city if
it is consistently adhered to. The
Star regrets that it hasn't space to
print City Attorney Sistrunks opin-
ion in full. He has made out his case
very clearly, and tho the Star has
points, it may be that in its ignor-
ance of law it has omitted some OF
the things most necessary. Mr.
Sistrunk is a very shrewd lawyer
and his arguments generally stand
in the courts. The council does good
| work for the city with the means
at it's command; it makes mistakes
of course, but a policy of co-opera
ton with and, sometimes, friendly
criticism of it's members will, the
Star believes, accomplish the best re-
suits.
