Two.cent Rate for Roads.

In conformity with the plan to raise
rates all over the country, the rail-
roads of Wisconsin have filed notice
with the railroad rate commission that
after May they will raise the pas
senger rates in this state by applying
the straight two cents per mile rate
upon all distances travelled.
The commission is powesless to stop
this raise and unless 1t is included in
the call for a special session and the
present law is amended by the legisla-
ture the rates In Wisconsin will be
raised
Under the amendments of the pas
senger traffic filed with the commits
sion, all short mileage heretofore in
effect will be abolished.
As an Illustration of the effect OF
this change, persons travelling from
Madison to Appleton by way OF Mil
waukee will be forced to pay higher
fare than If going by way Of Jefferson
Junction The fare from Madison to
Milwaukee VIII be greater via Milton
| Junction than via Waterfowl.
| In a statement issued by the state
railroad commission appears the fol.
lowing.
The commission would suspend
this new rate II II had the power to
| do so, but owing to the fact that the
legislature has fixed the fare by stat
ute the commission has no jurisdic-
tion where the fare charged does not
exceed two cents mile However,
the commission will compel connection
and running OF trains so that at juno
| ton points passengers may obtain the
advantages of short distances over
two roads. notwithstanding such roads
are competitors between the points OF
travel.
