new FREIGHT RATES.
They Give Mississippi River Reluc-
tions to Kansas Shippers.

The new rates between the Missis-
sippi river crossings and Kansas points
went into effect Sunday. The new
rate schedule was arranged as a re-
suit Of the now famous Mississippi
river rate case which was agitated by
the public utilities commission and
certain representative cities including
Topeka The decision in the case was
OF great Importance to Topeka, the
rates having been materially reduced
between Topeka and points east of the
Mississippi river. The Missouri river
was eliminated as a basing line.
Through rates to and from all
points east of the Indiana-Illinois
state line including seaboard territory
are automatically reduced by the re-
duction of the rates between the Mis-
sissippf river crossings and Topeka.
Thousands of dollars annually will
be saved to Topeka shippers as a re-
suit of the change in rates. Topeka
