Impetus for state.

Interior Iowa has never had an ap-
proach toward reasonable schedule
Of interstate class rates. We have
now broken the ground. The effect
will be felt In every corner OF the
state.
The foundation for these results
has been laid during the past forty
years, thanks chiefly to the brilliant
work of Iowa men, such as Cummins,
Larrabee, Dolliver, Hepburn and the
leaders in the grange movement; but
up till recently very little of a con
crete, practical nature affecting inter
state traffic had ever been secured
for the actual shippers of our state.
When Larrabee was governor, we
secured reasonably low state rates;
but that formed a very small part OF
the problem. Practically 80 per cent
OF our freight traffic is interstate.
The first decision OF statewide i'm.
portance relative to Interstate rates
affecting Iowa, was in the live stock
case In 1903, which caused revision
OF the entire schedule OF freight
rates on our principal farm product
TO the principal live stock markets
within and without the state. As stat
ed above. that was the first time the
railroads were required TO distribute
the rates clear across the state into
zones or groups. A year later. In
june, 1909. the city Of Des Moines Sc
cured substantial reductions on class
rates from the east, equivalent te

rendered. Only once before was the
principle applied to any large volume
OF traffic from Iowa.
At the present time the class rates
east OF the river are distributed into
somewhat reasonable groups, adyanc-
ing gradually IN amount as the dist
ance increases. Immediately upon
crossing the river into Iowa, these
rates increase with enormous rapid
ity; the state grouping looks like a
crazy quilt in eastern Iowa. Some
practical conception OF just what that
means can beat be obtained by glanc-
ing at the map which was prepared by
an Iowa commission and introduced
as an exhibit In the case This map
shows the different rate groups In
which towns are placed The gradual
increase In rates, and In the size OF
the groups. until you get to the river,
is In striking contrast to the situation
Immediately west OF the river. While
the rates advance generally from 2 to
4 per cent with each group east OF
the river, we see an advance OF %
per cent in the first group west OF the
river. This places the balance of the
state upon an unconscionably high
level. This map gives bird's-eye
view Of the entire situation.
Within reasonable tirne We may
row expect these Iowa groups to be
completely revised In the past. ST.

as the amount affecting Iowa alone In
the advanced rate case Of 1910, or
the western classification case OF
1912, or in the advanced rate case
recently commenced by the railroads;
but In its effect on the Industrial
growth Of the state. this is the most
important victory. SO far az Iowa IS
concerned, since either our state or
national government began the task
OF regulating railroads.
These decisions mean complete
revision of the interstate freight rates
on about 5000 articles, between over
1000 Iowa cities and all points In the
eastern part of the United States.

Industrial Keokuk received Its

lowering freight rates from eastern
points, thereby removing q discrim-

thing else TO curb the manufacturing
interests Of the city. After November,

advance OF 2 cents over the St. Louis

Not only does the decision furnish
Keokuk with its greatest argument in
offering better facilities OF concerns
having this city under consideration
as a point Of location, but the new
schedule will also prove advantageous

rates heretofore existing burden for

to whom the great share of credit for
winning the Keokuk rate case is due,
estimates on a conservative basis that

the one fact that manufacturers

informed Of the rates under which
