LANE AGAINST
HIGHER RATES
Says Railway Problem Most Be
Solved on Other Basis.
KENACE TO WESTERN COUNTRY
Commissioner Warm Railroads They
Will Hav to Deviie Some Other
Way to Meet Constantly Increasing
Cost of Operation Raise of Raten
Would Never End.
Chicago, S'lt. 23. Railroads must
adjust their economical rilflkultlefi by
tome other means than by asking
Shippers to contribute the funds there
tor, in the opinion of Interstate Com
merce CominlHHloner Franklin K.
Lane, as expressed during the hearing
here.
Railroad officers and nttorneyH
Bought to learn If the commissioner
Implied there must be readjustment of
the method of financing big carrier
systems, but Mr. Lane ignored the ef
forts and continued to ask the wit
ness to whom he had directed his
startling remarks pointed questions on
the amount and disposition of earn
ings of the railroad In question, the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Pnul.
The witness whose testimony evoked
this display of the commissioner's
Judgment of the merits of the rail
road's present plea for higher rates
was William M. Ellis, commerce coun
sel for the St. Paul. Ellis had testified
that his company was suffering from
too much business, that the Increase
bad meant on Increase In the unit of
coat which grew faster than the unit
of Income, thereby threatening the
yearly surplus of earnings above pay
ment of dividends and cost of opera
tion and maintenance.
Lane's Statement
Commissioner Lane said:
"As the country develops there will
be more and more freight delivered to
you and as conditions are now the
rates constantly must be Increased, ac
cording to railroad officials. I regard
It as a menace to the country if the
rates constantly are to be Increased.
We must work out this problem on
lines other than by the proposed meth
ods of raising the tariffs. If not, there
Is no time when we can say the maxi
mum has been reached."
This unexpected development In the
rate hearing enme as a result of the
Inquiry Into the St. Paul's profits,
particularly from the public lands ac
quired In recent years. Mr. Kills de
nied the commissioner's suggestion
that the road's optimism when It built
the transcontinental extension hnd
turned to pessimism now.
"If It had not been for that road,"
he said, "we would have had nothing
from operation to add to our surplus
last year. That extension added about
12.500,000 to the surplus, In addition
to the $2.B89,r.73 from other sources.
Our total surplus Is about $.10,000,000."
He then told the commissioners that
expense cost was overtaking earn
ings, and would continue as long ns
more traffic was handled, as must be
expected.
In answer to questions put to him
Mr. Ellis said that If the gross Income
next year went to $79,000,000 from
this year's figures of $(14,000,000, the
percentage of profit would be Icrs.
To you mean to sav the cost of do
ing the additional $15,000,000 In busi
ness would be equal to that sum?" was
isked.
"I mean percentaim of profit
would r.ot b ft reit " an'il Mr. Ellis.
RATE COFERcNCt .NTCPEKA
Bovernor StuL'os Charges Railroads
Favor F.lg Cities Irt Rate Making.
Topekn, Kan., Kept. 23. Governor
W. R. Stubbs of Kansas outlined the
purposes of the Inters tato rate confer
ence In a sensational speeih at the
Opening session here.
Tho governor declared that the rail
roads of the country have combined to
advance freight rates on a scale never
before known. Ho said In part:
"This conference was called to (lis
Suss ways and menus to protect the
Interests of the producer, consumer,
ihlpper and the public generally In
the middle west from the advance In
freight rntes Involved In the most lm
poitant case that has ever been heard
by the Interstate commerce commla
lion. The principal railroad system
tf the United States have combined
for tho purpose of advancing freight
rates on a scale never before known
In the history or this country. In the
lose now pending the Interstate com
merce commission Is not considering
the question of the Inherent unreason
tblencsH of any specific rates, but I
passing on the general proposition as
to whether the railroads of the coun
try ore entitled under present condi
tions to a general advance In rates,
ff they should so decide and approve
the rates now held In suspension, then
their decision will serve as a prece
dent, not only to prevent any reduc
tion In rates In the future, but to be
nsed as a basis for future advances
tf thousands of other rates.
"The general policy of rnllroads
throughout the United States to favor
large renters and build up great cities
t th expense of the rural communi
ties Is little less than a crime against
limitation."

SENATOR LORIMER
ASBFOR DELAY
His Attorney Request Commutes
to Postpone Inquiry.
Chicago, Sept. 23. After hearing ar
guments for and against a postpone
ment of the Lorlmer Investigation un
til after the November election, the
senatorial committee adjourned until
morning without deciding any of the
questions presented to It. The plea
for postponement of the hearing was
made by Attorney Elbrldge Uanecy,
counsel for Senator Lorlmer.
Attorney Clifford W. Barnes of the
Legislative Voters' league, who filed
a petition with the United States sen
ate, embodying the charges of fraudu
lent methods In the election of Sena
tor Lorlmer, opposed the continuance,
declaring that the senatorial commit
tee had a solemn duty to perform to
help "purge the state of Its disgrace."
Counsel for Senator Lorlmer touched
on the political dispute of the Illinois
deep water project. He asserted that
not only were legislators being at
tacked because of their having voted
for Senator Lorlmer, but because they
had voted against spending $20,000,000
for deep waterway purposes. This
portion of the argument was In the
speech of Senator Lorlmer In the sen
ate when he characterized the charges
agnlnst him ns part of a great political
plot, In which the governor of the
state of Illinois hnd Joined hands with
the newspaper which printed the con
fession of Legislator Charles A. White.
Attorney Hanecy argued that to pro
ceed with the Investigation would be
unfair to Senator lorlmer and bIho to
the vnrlous members of the state legis
lature who voted for him and ore new
seeking re-election.
