Commissioner Warwick Saunders
Makes an Important '
Report.
THE BEMEFITS TO BE DERIVED
From a Small Reduction in Freight
Rates Amount to Millions
of Dollars.
Kallroad Oppose the Plan.
Mr. Warwick Saunders who was ap
pointed as commissioner from Nebraska
to coufer with like commissions ap
pointed by the states of Kansas and
Texas and the territory of Oklahoma
Las submitted the following interesting
and instructive report of tbeproceedings
of the commission:
Columbus, Neb., April 20, 1897.
Hit ElcelleDcy, Governor Silas A, Uolcomb,
wing to the necessity of waiting until
the joint commission makes their report,
and from the further fact that I wish tc
incorporate in my report to you some
data, ordered but not yet received. I find
it necessary to file at this time only a par-
tittl report. I hope to soon be able to
follow it with one of a more comprehen
sive nature.
Pursuant to my commission, issued by
your excellency, I proceeded to the city
01 Austin, lexas, aua mere imru;ijnuHi
in series of joint meetings with like com
missioners from Kansas, Oklahoma and
Teias, on the 15, 16 and 17 of the pres
ent month. -
Necessarily the discussions were of an
informal character. However, I hope
they will lead to a better understanding
of the work contemplated by the con
current resolutions under which we were
acting. While he was not a member of
the commission, yet Governor Leedy of
. Kansas, was unanimously selected to
preside over our meetings. His excel
lency evinced a decided interest in the
objects of the commission, and his coun
sel was found to be exceedingly valuable,
The commission took advantnge of
the presence in Austin of the Inter-State
Commerce Commission, to formally lay
before them the following complaint:
Austin, Tkxas, April 16, 1897.
To the Honorable, 'i'lie Inter-State Coinmerre
CoiniiilBnlon.
It is respectfully represented to your
honorable body that the stutes ol i exas,
Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma Terri
tory, pursuant to joint resolutions
adopted by the legislative bodies of these
several states ana tentones, nave ap-
structions to severally and jointly devise

It is further represented that the pres
ent exhornitant rates on nortn ana

mi an -f iha all nvr an1 nhao no h mil tr mill

rates so as to guarantee the same rates
Der ton per mile ou north and south
shipments as now obtained on east and
west bound tranlc (observing the rule re'
garding long and short hauls as laid
down by your honorable body) would
result in immense benefits to the people
of the state and territory named, and
would not be unfair to the public car
riers.
Your attention is respectfully called to
the fact that the natural trend of com
merceof these states and territory is
grossly diverted into channels which im
poses unnecessary and ruinous burdens
by reasons 01 the imposed long haul.
Your attention is further called to the
fact that deep water harbor facilities for
loading and unloading tue great Ocean
going vessels has been secured, and the
only ditilculty to overcome in order to
be able to utilize the gulf ports and the
short hauls thereto for outgoing and in
coming business, is the unjust discrimin
ation in railroad Ireigbt rates.
The producers of Kansas, Nebraska and
Oklahoma, on account of being denied by
the transportation companies the natur
al benefits which should uccruefrom thei
nearueea to tide water and the markets
ot the world, are being impoverished and
forced to a spirit of desperation.
Holding ourselves ready to be at your
wrviee, we would urge your honorable
boby to take cognizauce of the grievous
conditions briefly stated and earnestly
qge ilhatyou endeavor to bring about
h in roller as is warranted by the circum
h; me.
ij of which is respectfully submitted."

Inter-Mats Commerce Commissioners

that result. They also asserted, with
much satisfaction, that tbey had already
iverted from ttie eastern to the south
ern lines of railroads all, if not quite all,
the shipments ol grain from extreme
southern Nebraska, Kansas Oklahoma
nd Texas that was intended for export.
But when pressed to prove their broad
statements and charged with epecillc
iscrepancies and unreasonableness in
freight charges, they were found to be
unprepared to sustain their assertions,
and their explanations of the inconsist
encies and over charges in which the
north and south tariff sheets abound
seem to necessitate the relating of a
series of traffic entanglements which
mystified rather than clarified the com
missioners' understanding tof the situa
tion. This meeting resulted In the appoint
ment of two sub-committees to continue
the deliberations in a more direct and
pecific manner. Governor Leedy, the
hairman, on the part of t he commission.
appointed Mr. Saunders of Nebraska,
Senator King of Kansas, Councilman
Garrison of Oklahoma, and Mr. Kemp of
Texas. The railroad interests selected
I). Miller of St. Louis, general traffic
manager of the M. K. & T. system; J. C.
Lincoln of St. Louis, assistant general
freight agent of the M. P. system, and
Faul Morton 01 Chicago, third vice pres
ident of the Santa Fe system. These two
sub-committees met on the morning of
the 17th. The railroad representatives
contended that no action should be
taken until after the Inter-State Com
merce Commission has handed down a
decision in what is known as the
"Kansas case" now pending before
them. The representatives of the com
mission contended that the "Kansas
t . . . 1
case " did not cover our general com
plaint; that there were no indications
when an opinion might be handed down,
and the opinions of ths Inter-State Com
merce Commission were not binding and
only advisory in effect.
The meeting was briet because tne com
missioners insisted upon immediate and
substantial relief, and the railway repre
sentatives declared their inability to
commit themselves at that time to any
definite line of action other than that
which they were already pursuing. The
teult of the conference between these
subcommittees was verbally reported to
a g tneral meeting of the commission on
ths same (lav.
It was evident that the complainants
must of necessity be the agressors, per
sistent, vigorous, aggressors. Conse-
ouentlv a permanent organization was
effected. Senator 0. W. Campbell of
Oswego, Kansas, was elected chairman;
R. D. Forest of El Ueno, uuianoma, se
cretary, and an executive committee
selected as follows: Warwick Saunders,
Columbus. Nebraska: Senator L. I
King, Tanneyhill, Kansas; 11. IJ. Forest,
EI Keno. Oklahoma, and .James is..
Wells. Brownville. Texas. Senator King
was unanimously choosen chairman of
the committee.
The dutv of this committee is to issue
addresses, arrange for meetings and con
ventions and have such oiner powers
generally as is essential to the success of
the movement lor which the committee
was created, until such time as a general
convention of delegates from all the
states and territories participating in
the purposes shall be held and a more
permanent organization eiiectea.
It was decided that the permanent or
... ....
ganization should be known as the "Gulf
and interstate 'iransportation com
mi t tee. Meeting adjourned.
Chairman King will soon issue a call
for a meeting of the executive committee
at which time, I presume, a joint address
will be prepared for the public, and a
more concentrated and direct meHns for
bringing about the result desired will be
devised and adopted.
The latest authentic data which l have
at this writing concerning Nebraska's
surplus products is that covering the
year of 1893 which was a less productive
veartban the average and much less
than our 1HU0 croo.
The railway companies reported as
having moved for that year:
Corn 88,775 car loads
Wheat 14,688 "
Oats..., 8,881 " ,
Cattle J 32,432 "
Hogs 25,611 "
A total of 160,887 car loads of our
principal products. In addition to this
we bad an additional surplus movea oy
. 1 . , . J.,
the railroads of 50,121 car loads. These
car loads were made up of horses, mules
wheeo. mixed stock, provisions, mixed
grain, rve. flax, hay. barley, flour, millet.
dairy products, fruit, poultry, packing
house products, sugar, beer, paint, etc,
And in addition to this grand total of
219.508 car oad lots the freight handled
in less than car load lots ran up into tne
mvetifving millions of pounds. These
figures relate only to the surplus out-
gome products 01 ine larms ana lac
tones of Nebraska, and not to any 01
the iucoming lumber, coal, merchandise,
etc.. which our people have to buy.
hvery dollar paid n Jreight transport
tug these surplus products which our peo
pie have for sale to points of consump
tion is a direct tax upon the producer,
and at the present time this tax is
greater than the local selling price of
corn, our chief product.
Ths diversion of the frame ol :ebraKa
and the other trans-Mississippi states
from the trans-continental lines to the
north and south roads necessitates a
revolution in inland and oceanic ti as
portation that can be illy predietsd at
this time.
I need not stats again that ths (armor
of Nebraska produce annually hundreds
of thousands cl car loads of surplus
grain, live stock and miscellaneous pro
dues. Thsy re wive from ths local dsalurs

to deliver ths product. Ths farmer pays

nearer to our grain fields and cattle
pastures than are any of the Atlantic
sea ports.
It is the natural right of these people
that tbey should be allowed to profit by
their close proximity to the gulf ports
and it was for the purpose of enforcing
this right that the legislatures ol lexas,
Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska passed
concurrent resolutions authorizing the
governors of these states to appoint
special commissioners whose duty it
would be to negotiate with ths present
north and south railroads looking to a
fair adjustment of rates, and also to in
quire into the propriety and feasibility ol
building a north and south railroad,
which would be independent of private
interest absolutely divorced from en
tanglements with contrary systems
and to be constructed and operated by
these several states as a rate-maker for
the future.
This movement contemplates a sweep
ing revolution in the present unnatural
inland and oceanic traffic. e It is a hug
undertaking, which is resisted by nearly
all the powerful artificial influences
known to commerce. While Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas have tak
en the initiative, yet the balance of the
states known in agricultural and com
mercial affairs as the "Central Divison"
or trans-Mississippi statss, are compelled
by the very nature ol circumstances to
lend us their powerful co-operation.
They are Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Lou
isiana, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and New
Mexico comprising all the territory be
tween the Mississippi river and the
Rocky mountains.
I found the sentiment strongly in tavor
of the construction and operation of
north and south railroads by the trani
Mississippistates. The advantages are
so apparent and the benefits so colossal
that all that is necessary to onng aoout
the desired transportation facilities and
reasonable reduction in rates, is a gener
al and vigorous yet commonsense a git a
tion of the subject.
The benefits to be derived by ieorasKa
will spring from an hundred sources and
amount to fabulous sums annually. To
briefly illustrate: Should a reduction of
freight on our surplus grain be secured
amounting to only three cents per bushel
it would be, on a basis ot mvii figures,
approximately as follows:
62,182,500 bu. corn $1,363,975.00
7,404,000 bu. wheat jjuz.izu.uu
8,881,000 bu. oats 266,430.00
Total saving $2,352,525.00
To add to this two and one-third mil
lions saved on wheat, corn and oats
alone a corresponding reduction in the
shipping out of our 648,640 head of sur
plus cattle, 1,536,660 surplus hogs, the
fifty odd thousand car load lots of other
products, and the hundreds 01 minions
pounds of produce in less than car load
lots, and which is not included in any
other calculations, thou it can be easily
seen how even such a small reduction
in freight rates runs up into the millions
As it is the duty of the commissioners
appointed by the several states to save
to the producers these millions of dollars
in excessive and altogether unreasonable
freight rates, and considering the great
difficulties to be overcome, una the
further fact that this is the first official
report on this subject to he made to Ne
braska, 1 do not feel called upon to apoi
ogize for its great length.
lour obedient servant,
Warwick Saunders,
Commissioner for Nebraska.
CATARKH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleaiant.Slmple, but Safe and effectual
Cure for It.
Catarrh has long been considered the
next thing to incurable. The usual
symptoms are a full or bloating sensa
tion alter eating, accompanied some
times with sour or very watery risings,,,
formation of gases, causing a pressure
on the heart and lungs, and a difficult
breathing: headaches, fickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played out,
nervous feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth
coated tongue, and if the interior of the
Btomucb could be seen it would show a
slimv. inflamed coudition.
The cure for this common and obsti
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to bo readily
and thoroughly digested before it has
time to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To se
cure a prompt and healthy digestion is
the one necessary thing to do and when
normal digestion is secured the ca
tarrhal condition will have disappeared
Accordiug to Dr. Ilarlandson the saf
est and best treatment is to me after
each meal a tablet composed of Diaste,
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal
and fruit aids: These tablets can now
be found at all drug 'stores under the

AN OPEN LETTER.
From the Herald. Sauk Centre. Minn.
The following communication was re
cently received bv the manufacturers of
Dr. Williams' Pink Fills for Tale People:
I was bora iu Germany and am
thirty-seven years old. I live with my
husband ou a farm. For ten years I
suffered with leucorrhcea sa that I was a
burden to my friends and myself also. I
had tried a great many doctors and dif
ferent kinds of medicines without secur
ing any benefits. My condition had be
come so deplorable that I had almost
given up hope of recovery, when one
day I saw in the Sauk Centre Herald an
advertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, and as a drowning person catches
at a straw,' so I grasped this chance
nd purchased from Hanson & binerson
a box of Pink Pills. I commenced tak
ing them in March, 1896, and after tak
ing one box I felt so much improved
that I bought more.
After . taking them for a time 1 round
to my surprise that I was entirely cured.
Ever since then I have been as strong
and well as 1 ever was, and am able to
do the arduous duties which fall to the
farmer's wife without feeling the least
fatigue or inconvenience.
"1 hope this will bo the means ol plac
ing your wonderful pills in the bauds of
some sister sutierer, wno may rejoice
with me. I am satisfied that no woman
need suffer as I did, when such an effi
cient remedy is so close at hand."

December, 1896.

About Truti. '
The following is taken from theTobac-
co Worker. It gives some Indication
of the enormous profits of the great
trusts of this country, Concerning the
fees paid to attorneys for organizing
these robber institutions it says:
Mr. Flint and his various assistants
received the tidy sum of f 000,000 for
the organization and promotion of the
rubber trust as fees, etc.
The sngar trust, it is reported, paid to
Mr, John H. Das Passos tor services ren
dered as one of the chief promoters, the
Drincelv sum of 8700.000.
Mr. lieurv lientz. anoiuer promoter,
is now suing for the payment of 1 per
cent ou 115,000,000 lor bis satire in the
organizing of the American euar re
fining company.
Joseph It. cuoate, ot tne arm 01
Evarts. Choate At Reunion, "lawyers,"
wus the joyful recipient ol f vw,uuv as
his share in the work of organizing and
promoting the tobacco trust. Tho
chewers of Battle Ax. and those who
moke and chew any of their goods 111 uy
expect to help pay the piper, if they con
tiuue to use the products of this trust
and help them to get what they are
working for a monopoly 01 tne manu
facture of tobacco and cigarettes. They
have not spent ail this money without
expecting at some future time, when
they force all independent companies 10
join them, to make all they have spent,
and many times more, an uacK again.
Nobody will pay the bill but the work
ing man, who, by the way, is just now
helping the trust to make the lash It win
later scourge them with, by buying
their scabby, unfair products.
The law firm who organized the to-
bacco trust also organized the leather
trust, for which they doubtless received
a handsome sum in return.
The notorious finnucier, J. Pierpout
Morgan, organized and successfully
launched a number of trusts, quite no
table among them being the great coal
trust. For bis trouble he has added to
his already large pile more than a mil
lion dollars.
Another quite as notable trust or
combination formed by this financial
giant is that of the railroads. It is
further stated that for a sitting on the
deliberation and propogation of some
trust scheme, bis knowledge of the for
mation of trusts and combines, will
command far up in the "hundreds of
thousands as a fee.
Ths great standard oil trust pro-
moter. John D. Rockefeller, it m esti
mated has realized as profits 150,000,.
000 directly or indirectly, out ol the
tiromotlon of his trust.
There are many others who could I
mentioned who have made fortunes by
organizing trusts in various industries,
