In the matter of the communication nf tlie secretary of the state grunge of Illinois dated Jan. 1,1897, embodying a resolution of that body adopted at Its December meeting. 1890. asking the board of railroad and warehouse com missioners to reduce the passenger jf.tc from three (3) cents to two (ID. r>uts per nine, the eoidlaisslun Is oi the opinion that to do so at this time would he unwise and unwarranted and would be unjust to the railroad inter est of the state. While some of the great trunk lines in Illinois might be able to stand such a reduction, yet the smaller roads, and those which do almost wholly a local business, and which are now and have been for the las: two years struggling for exist ence, would be most seriously affected by It. f Such action on our part would sim ply increase the heavy burdens under which they are staggering now. It is i well-known fad to those who have taken the trouble to investigate the imount of passenger business done by the railroads in Illinois during the past two years that there lias been a large lecrease in the number of passengers al lied. '1 ills is due in our judgment not to the amount charged for such lervin* but to t)i>> general depression in all lines of business, the low prices >f farm products and the unsottleu linam ini conditions which have had iheir effect on the passenger as well ik the freight business. And it in also a fact, us shown by the .worn reports of the railroads of lilt iois that the capital Invested in stall property has not paid even a fair lu cres! to the stockholder. This quea ilon was before us when we revised bo freight schedule In IS9!i, and tha whole question was thoroughly con ■idered. We did not think then and neither do we feel now that in Justice o both the public and the railroads, jeeause each should stand on the same . .. t u ... .1.. I. it. !.1.......... A • Mould be made at this time. If the ountry was prosperous our conclu sions might lie different. The statistics in our office show ihat 'or the past three years, 1X94. 1895 anil lX9*j, the average amount charged by he railroads per passenger mile is a 'ruction above two i ents, although the naxitmim allowed them was three ■ents. • For the reasons above stated we do lot feel that this reduction should bo nade at Hits time. We are also asked o recommend this reduction to the eglslature. In view of our conclusion ,ve do not feel that it would be con sistent for us to do so: however, th • eglslature lias thp power to regulate tie maximum rate which can b<• •barged for passenger service and w i rave the matter to their wisdom.
