This left only % capiases in the

SANTA FE AT Bat
Morton Defends Higher Rates
Before Commission.
Says Farmers Fight, but Do Not
Pay the Freight.

Washington, June 2s-Argument
IN the western rates hearing before
the interstate commerce commission,
today turned on the increases on grain
and grain products.
A. ]. Norton spoke for the Santa F'e
railway, and A. Z. Helm of the Kan
sas state railway commission, replied.
Mr.. Norton contended that the lev
el of rates on grain in western terri
tory was below the level of grain
rates in the east. Farmers organiza-
tions opposing the increase, he said,
had resources of $S,O0O,OOO and had
gone about their fight in a systematic
and thorough manner. THE farmer,
however" said he does not pay any
freight on grain. That is paid by the
consumer
Mr.. Helm replied that the farmer
did pay the freight.
1T is a we'll known fact" said he,
that every increase in the cost of
transportation of agricultural prod
uctS and grain particularly is reflected
at the very moment in the price the
farmer derives for his products, he
pays the freight
Mr.. Helm argued that the burden
of proof that an increase was neces-
sary was on the carrier. Poor man.
agemant, bad securities or financial
plumbers. he argued, had nothing to
do with increasing freight rates. Such
an increase in grain rates, he contend
ed, could be justified only if the car
r1erS showed that cost of tranSpOr: ling
grain had increased.
Former Senator Long of Kansas in
behalf of millers protested specifically
against the proposed increase in the
minimum carload weights. He de-
clared that such a change meant the
return of the jobber to the flour bus
iness and that many retailers would
be financially unable to continue.

MUCH DEPENDS
ON EARLY ACTION
Gas Receivers Hope for Rate
Decision in July.
A Later Date Will Prevent Re-
lief to Consumers.
READY TO SPEND S6OO,OO(
To Increase Supply to Kansas
and Missouri Towns.
Followed by Half a Million
Yearly for Three Years.

If an early and favorable decision il
secured in the gas rate case, receivers
for the Kansas Natural expect to spend
100000 this summer in an effort TO
provide an ample supply OF gas 1or
Kansas and Missouri towns This eX-
penditure will be followed by an ap-
preparation of 100000 a year for bet
terments during the following three
years Failure to receive a decision
in the case in early July, however, Will
mean that gas patrons must wait an
other year for relief.
Those were the statements in To-
peka today by +. S. Salathiel, attorney
for the Kansas Natural Gas company
receivers. Salathiel came to Topeka
to review briefs filed in the gas case
by several towns and distributing
companies. He declared that lee would
file necessary answers at once and
would urge an early decision in the
case before the public utilities com
mission.
Evidence in the gas rate case was
heard IN May and early June by the
Kansas utilities commission AS yet
the commission has not indicated
Salathiel will urge action not later
than the middle of July that the wofk
of securing additional gas may be
started.
There will be very little chance of
bettering conditions this year unless
there is decision early in July" said
the Independence lawyer. Should
we receive a favorable decision, we
expect to spend 100000 this year for
betterments and the purchase of extra
gas supply. That will be followed
each year for three years by the ex-
penditure of 100000 for better serv-
ice."
Salathiel believes sufficient gas can
be provided to test the capacity of
the Kansas Natural pipe lines.
THAT doesn't necessarily mean that
everyone will have all the gas he
wants. said SalathieI Even in view
of the decreasing gas pressure and
supply, there has been a steadily in
creasing number of patrons. In fact,
we have about $4,000 more consum-
ers than we had three years ago. The
gas to all of these patrons must be
carried through the lines that for
merly furnished gas for a far less
number of consumers"
Recently it was stated that the Kan
SaS utilities commission would discuss
the gas rate question with members
of the Missouri commission when
mem berS of the two boards meet in
Chicago July 6. Both the Kansas and
Missouri commissions will be repre-
sented at the passenger rate case in
Chicago next month. AT that time the
evidence in the gas controversy will
be discussed. Whether this discussion
will be followed by an early decision,
has not been indicated. Salathiel,
however, urges that prompt decision
is the only possible early relief for the
gas consumers. He spent an hour to-
day in conference with members of the
commission and in study of pleadings
filed in the case.
