RATE BOOST FEARED
Attorneys Believe No Power
Will Prevent Increased Fares
HAVE NO GROUND FOR ACTION
nouncement As to When New Tar
ifs Providing Increased Rates
Will Be Ready for Filing.

Des Noines.-While the state de.
partment of justice has not reached
a definite conclusion, the attorneys
have begun to lose hope that the
state of Iowa will be able to prevent
the railroads putting the "a cents per
mile interstate passenger rate into
effect in this territory. The roads
have not yet announced when the
tariffs providing for the increased
rates will be ready for filing.
The interstate commerce commits
sion authorized the railroads to in
crease the interstate passenger fare
from 2 cents to "a cents per mile.
Clifford Thorne, chairman of the Iowa
railroad commission, called a confer
ence at Omaha few weeks ago OF
the attorneys general and railroad
commissioners of Minnesota, Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, North and South
Dakota and Oklahoma.
He urged that the states file action
In the federal courts asking for an In
junction to prevent the roads from
raising the passenger fares.
The Iowa department of justice has
been making a careful investigation,
and is inclined to believe that there is
no ground on which the state of Iowa
can start action against the railroads
to enjoin the rates. The attorneys say
that the law gives the interstate com.
merce commission power to make pas
senger and freight rates and does not
provide for an appeal to the courts
from the decision of the commission
