RATES TO GO UP.
I. @. C. Will Grant Railroads Part Of
What Is Asked.

Washington, May 1S.-Five of the
seven members Of the interstate COM
merce commission favor an increase
in the freight rates requested by the
eastern railroads in the eastern CLASH
fjcation territory and will SO decide in
the decision which it is expected will
be handed down May Is. The average
increase to be granted will range from
az to 4 per cent.
This information was obtained from
exceptionally reliable sources here and
in addition 1t was learned that the
commissioners favoring the increase
are Clement. Clark, Harlan. Hall and
Daniels.
The comprehensive data submitted
to the commission by the railroads
have enabled them to give individual
application to each commodity rate
and as far as can be ascertained the
commission will refuse an increase on
some rates, will reduce others and in
some cases will allow the railroads
more than they have asked.
On this basis of computation the
average increase granted will be as
stated. In railroad circles 1t has been
conceded for some time that the full
s per cent increase was improbable
and the general opinion has been that
tho carriers would be conceded some
thing. but not all they wanted.

RIPLEY IS ANXIOUS.
of Santa Fe Fears Outcome
Of Government Supervision.

A statement given out by President
Ripley Of the Atchison. Topeka 4
Santa Fe railway. while in Topeka
late Saturday afternoon. indicates that
this railroad executive IL fearing the
action Of the government in rate maxi
Ing and supervision and the resulting
reduction of revenues.
The statement in part follows:
sThe United States government has
constructed a ceiling above which the
railways of the country cannot rise.
but neglected to construct q bottom
below which they cannot fall.
''Alf that the railroads have to do IL
to rustic the money to pay the bills. :"
Mr.. Ripley said. THE government
has taken charge OF the management
Of our property. and fixed our rates.
When we make conclusive showing
that the rules imposed upon US result
in a disastrous reduction in. net earn
ings. the government shrugs its shoul-
ders, and let's 1t go at that. OF course.
this condition cannot last always.
When a candle burns at both ends
well. the time will come when there
won't be any candle"
I'm your opinion, il tho country
drifting toward government ownership
of railroads?" Mr.. Ripley was asked.
I'VE are drifting toward a radical
change of some kind" was the reply.
The present system of railway man.
agement is breaking up. Whether we
will have the misfortune OF govern
ment ownership, I am unable to say:
but this is certain: The transporta-
ton companies will have to be al
lowed to earn a sufficient sum Of real
money to pay their operating ex-
penses. maintain the efficiency Of their
service to the pubic. and give fair
return to those who invest in railway
securities, or capital will withdraw
from that character Of Investment.
The prospect for such a privilege
is not bright. The failure Of the gov
eminent to manage the postal de-
partment successfully causes thinking
citizens to shudder when they con-
template government ownership Of
railroads, with their control, through
the politicians, of the hundreds Of
thousands of employees in the trans
portation service.
THE agricultural southwest gener-
ally is in fine shape. The Kansas
wheat condition is as nearly ideal as
1t IL possible to have. Our general
freight agent, Mr.. Koontz, who has
made an exhaustive inquiry among
farmers, millers and grain dealers. ex-
presses the opinion that the Kansas
wheat yield will be the heaviest in the
states history, barring accidents. Mr.
Koontz SHES at figures during the
month of May, but -wormed out Of
him guess OF more than 130, 900. 900
bushels. 1t Is early to guess on corn,
oats, alfalfa and other crops, but at
this time tho condition is encourage
ing"
