Congressman Says
Midwest Must Unite
To Get Lower Rates

Atlantic, Ia, Sept. 27.-(Special.
If the governors of the midwcs,
states join in a demand on the In
tcrstate Commerce commission II
would, beyond doubt, result in ma.
terial reduction in freight rates, was
the assertion of Congressman Will
liam X. Green TO friends OH his WIS.,
it to Greenfield.
ut is curious circumstance tha,
so far nearly the only reductions OBJ
tanned have been on petition OF the
railroads themselves. Shippers and
others apparently have been negli'
gent in appealing to the commerce
commission for a reduction.
Freight and passenger tariffs are
too high. One of the things needed
at the present time to relieve the
situation is lower rates, especially on
the farmers products. | believe the
governors of these midwest states
should take concerted action" said
the congressman.
