Iii pursuance of this deter- mnination ho today tom-warded to the board the following letter : LINCOLN , April 11.-To the Honorable time iloarmi of 'irnnspartntion : Genticmnen- Itefermimig to a former comnnlunicatlon to your honorable board concerning tin alleged iticrense in railroad intes ( or the trails- ; ortatiamt of ii'e stock between points In Nebrtska , I beg in addition to tue state- macate titerelti niamlo to irescnt herewith for your further informnatlon anti consitieratlomi a number of statenlents of freight charges from different shippers In various parts of the state which hero been forwardeti to inc with protests against titls alleged unwarranted - warranted increase In freight rates since January 1 , 1835. all of which tend to support - port stmdh cimttrges.

Ona hasty examination of timeso various statements of freight charges. it appemmrs that an increase of charges over those in effect prior to January 1 last has been made of from 18 per cent to 21 var cent , anti it , upon a thorough investigation , tue correctness of the conclusion thus readied houlti be establisheti , it certainly wouid demnanti prompt action upon your part to relieve the farmers atiti stock raisers from tIme unjust burden thus Impommeti uptn them. I also enclose herewith formal complaint in form of atlitlavitim by Dian Wootirtiff of Georgetown , Custer county , nn E. L. Thornton of Eddyville , Dawson county , which if preferreti wili form the basis ( era a formal investigatiomi in these two mdl- vkltmai cases by your hoard as to tue merits of tue complaints therein made ; yet I am of the ojlmtloml , as heretofore expressed , that complete Justice cannot be measured to nil parties Interested without an exmtmn- mellon so lmroatl in its character as to in- ciutle , if need be , every shipping station within the state. It is also to be borne in mind that to the stock shipper Who is not engaged in raising cattle anti hogs the increase In shippIng rates is of minor importatice , as ho invariably deducts from the vurcuinse price suihicient to pay mill charges of shlptnetmt and then sell upon time market at a mea- sonnbie prCtit. anti for that reason thousands - sands of farmers anti stock raisers who are not shippers stiffer an InJtmstico If tile rates be unreasonably high , nut ! vhio have a vqry limited opportunity to apply for a redrers of the wrongs thus done them. To all of these enclosures I would re- spectully recommemid a careful consider. ation , as they come from a cias of ship- hers wimo are doubtless thoroughly con- vincetl that ( ito new arrangement of freight rates on live stock make a considerable advance over the rate in effect prior to January 1 , 1896. If the showIng made in timese statements is correct the amount of the excessive rates over those previously In effect would make mo granti sumn of stim- pendous proportions In time course of a year. These alleged eccessive rates ( all upon the farmers anti stock raIsers of Nebraska - braska , a cities of our people who can lIly bear atiditlonal burdens at this time , amid I trust your honorable board vili take Imromlmt action in determining the charges made , and that your decision viti b with tiue regard in the interests anti rights of all parties enneerned.
