TUB STATE OF IOWA
is tha third state In the Union In rail
road mileage , and first foragrioultnra
producta for transportation , Hoi
vast agricultural reaonrcoa that required
quired an outlet , coupled with the
level nature of the country , have
made it a fascinating field for railroad
cDnstraotion. The people autlclpat
ing large returns from the sale of pro
duce If cheaply nmketed have con
trlbuted liberally to the oonstrnotioi
of theae roada , in order to secure thi
cheap transportation , often ontalllni
burdensome taxitlan aa well ua pr'
vato indebtedness. largo tracts of
GOVERNMENT LANDS
tiavj also been given to those com
panies on which they have real'zsd
milliona of dollars. Thoao roadn are
now mostly owned by non-roaidonte ,
and the contributions of the people
are in but very few inatancoa repre
sented in ntock , and the hoped for
cheap tranoportation haa not been
roalizad.
IOWA PAYS S30COOOCO
to tha railroad companies. The rail
road commissioners say in their report
that "this vast business ought to ap
peal with efleclive force nlika to thu
oonsj of jnatlca , but the railroad man-
apora and the wisdom of the state in
the matter of pablb control , " and
add , "tho only security of both lies In
th ) prompt and mutual recognition of
the rights of each. " We add that aa
there ia no pcrjoptiblo recognition of
the rights of the people by the rail
roads It ia time the people were secur
ing the enactment of
JUST LAWS
to soonro the reasonable charges to
which the volume of freight , aa well
aa the cheap construction , easy gradi
ents and curvatures of the railroads
in the state entitles them. That wo
are entitled to the low rates of the
leading states , is fully shown by the
LAROE DIYIDENrS
on leading roada. Theae dividends
would become enormous on some of
the roada , If they wore estimated on
tholr actual coat within this state.
The six loading railroads , operating
3,410 mlloa of road , report a net
profit of $10,000,000 , or $3,000 eta
mlle , which would bo a large per cent ,
even on the nominal coat. The oom-
mission's report of 1881 Bays "that
every effort to show the actual cost ofa
the railroads ( In Iowa ) has boon a
failure. " Hence we can only approx
imate their actual cost.
EXAMINE FACTS.
The commlaalon's reports glvo na
the average coat of freight on roade
operated only In part wltuin this state
but do not give any averages on strict
ly local , or freight moved from sino
point within the state to another
They give the rates charged between
points on the loading rotda , nnd leave .
CB to approximate from those to gel ;
general figures. These estimates woulc
make na safe in saying that wo pay
cants a ton a talle on an uverage , or
leaa than car lota , and 2J conta 01
wheat , coal and lumber in large lots
Wo invlto the fullest examination ta.of
these facts by each individual roado
at hla own locality , and that ho report >
to this office hla faots and inferences :
Wo have no wish to exaggerate
While the ratea are simply enormvu
on strictly local rates for short hanle
It will bs aeon by the following table
that thora ara no cheap rates in whio
citizens of Iowa are specially inter
eated. The freight that crosses the
state from other states may be lov
but If wo have any Interest In thia Lit
la to have It high , that we may ' t
charged less. We compare Iowa atoa
with the avoraao rate of eight Je ling
roada In the United Statea , 1 cent
ton for each mile. On all the roods
in the United Status the avoragn is
1.29 conta a ton for each mile , ( o *

JIAQNIIUDK oV THIS liUUDEN ,
The oommlshlonera' n-port for 1882
lays 10,595,174 toua of freight uro
moved lu lowu ; of this amonnc over
wo million ions is strictly local
moved from one point ia the atatu to
mother. ) Lat ua eoo the
KN01IMOUS AanUEOATE
of excess for handling this 20 percent
of the freight moved. Calling the
average distance hauled within the
state 100 mllus , and wo have the sum
of 200,000,000 tons moved one mile ,
which would cost ut ouo csnt a ton a
mlle § 2,000,000. Wo must approxi
mate the rate now charged from fig
ures given in the reports , a ? wo have
no other data. These would show
that throe cents a ton per mlle would
bo a low estimate. At this rate the
cost of moving 200,000,000 toco one
mile would be $0,000,000 , or
$4,000,000 IK EXCESS
of cost at one cent a ton per mile , thi
rate of leading roads. If we glvo ou
carriers 50 per cent mora than th' '
leading roada , cr $1,50 per ton pe :
mile , wo will still have $3,000,09
forced from the people annually , whlcl
is four tlmua the annual tax for oup
porting the state government.
RIVER TR3NSrOIlTATION.
The excQGa of charges it must bo ro "
membornd is only on the strictly local
freight. Onc-hulf , of the balance only
crosses the otato , and does not tfl'jot
na materially except &s increasing itr >
diminishing the .income of the roade.
The other half la freight originating |
in , or coming to Iowa to atop. Much :
of this half uould become strictly local
to the immeuce bone/it / of all the in
terests of the ntato. If the , railroads
Iso
wore not allowed to compel it to take :
the loug haul to Ohfcigo for their
benefit , lowu would then derive eomo '
real bdiiofii from the rivers that bound
it on two nidea. Theao unjust charges
< m > moat especially to prevent freight
from taking the cheaper river ionic to
the seaboard , or to other competing '
( not pooling ) liaca which leave the
river for the eastern seaboard at ta
below. Cheap rates to the ra
would open up all the competing
markets of the country to lowu pro
duce , free from the manipulating pro-
THEY PREVENT LONG HAUL RATES.
Thu present syetom of charging an
much for a few mlloa haul to the state
line , as ia paid for a thousand mlloa be
yond Chicago , or cs would bo paid for
a thousand mlloa from the Mississippi
to Now York by rail , in competition
wlch the lakes aud otherroutea , ia cut
ting Iowa oil from all the benefits itof
really long haul routes. Qlvo reason
able ratca to the rivers , and MO would
aoon bo able to aeouro rates that would
astonish us. There is no reason tote
doubt that the volume of freight to
bo morod between the Mississippi and
the eastern seaboard ( to Bay nothing
of the competition of the river route
to New Orleans ) , would inaura ratea
aa low per ton pur mlle aa the ratea by
rail from Chicago to Now York , or in
the state of Now York in competing
with water transportation , if wo could
avail ourselves of it by proper ratea to
the river. The rates of the Now
York roada in competition with ho
canal , of a cent per ton per le
would bo tor the one thonaaud mlloi
from Iowa to Now York , 25 cents pei >
hundred , $5 per ton , or $50 per carol

, HARD TIMES ,
Tht t Iowa la prosperous notwlth
standing thla taxation of million
above juat rates by the railroads , h no
argument in favor of allowing It ti

aoll and climate do not belong to the
railroad corporations. Oar state i i

gin soil has yielded abundance of ton
when crops in other stated and forolg
couutrlea have failed , and wealth haa

. get that the reverse haa , in some ir
stances , boon true ; that wo are at a
, times liable to these reverses , Eho

lower prices for farm products. If tl

THE OUANCIEK LAW.
The nvaluncho of vludlotlvoncss
and vituperation hurled by the mil-
road Inllaouco upon the law of 187' ! ,
known at the Granger low , was more
because It stood an nil inilox of the
power of the people to control these
common carriers tlmn because of any
burden it imposed , Ita provisions
wore mostly moderate. Ita weakness
Iny In the opportunity POIUO of its ad-
juitiQcntn gave exports for picking
Ihwa , aud in a want of clearness that
would enable those not exports to un
derstand Its provisions , and a lover
Tat thn.i Riven by which thu railroad
irfluonco hoisted it out of existence.
What is needed IB
JUST ENAniMBKT ,
that will secure the rights cf all , And
that all bneluesa men , at least , can
readily understand. It is not desira
ble that wo go to extremes. Lat uo
leave the railroads no just cause for
complaint , but adopt aomo system
which can bo adjusted with ease to
the wanta of the people , while allow
ing the carriers iair pay for the labor
they perform , Decided energetic ac
tion by the people of all parts of the
state will secure this ,
ACrlON IS NEEDED.
It li none too soon to act If wo
wish for success next fall , The people
plo should bold meetings , compare
vlotts and organize ready to secure a
rousing convention thla summer , at
aomo central point. Wo need to
thoroughly understand the men who
makn ip the
NKXT LEGISLATURE ,
to know that they have faith In the
movement ; that they have honoaty
aud backbone to resist money or
blandishments , aa well as intelligence ,
to lake advantage of parliamentary
machinery in time , buforo thu rail
road engineers pet control of the
throttle valves. 'J ho organizing cf
each house to suit tholr interests aud
the prompt use of parliamentary tao-
tlca are the loading moans of the rail
road interests to defeat the will of the
pooplo. Thla , with their passes and
other bribes and a brilliant lobby ,
supplied Tilth attractive rooms , where
ull the ontlacmonto are freely pro
vided , must bo expected and defeated
by real men , Thora can be no doubt
of our aiiRccaa if the proper organlzi-
tlpn ia i fiacted throughout the state ,
The strongest evidence of this is fully
apparent. Thu facts are too start
ling to hnvo bocn overlooked by the
people Wo should waste no ener
gies on
TRIFMNO SIDE ISSUES ,
Enact n simple , definite , mileage
tariff of rates , above which charges
cannot go , and the objectionable fea
tnres of railroad management will
disappear. Pooling will be naolcaa ,
If the rate la reasonable for short
hauls and for trancfor from one road
to another , they may carry long as
cheap aa they pieaae , only that they
must servo all alike under like condl
tioua , and naca no favoritism , In
charges or in furnishing cars. Al
sorts of substitutes for this definite
tariff of rates will bo suggested in thi
railroad Interest , to catch the nnwary
and thna fritter away time , The
ELASTIC COMMISSIONER SYSTEM
ia perhaps the moat seductive aubtor
fuge over Invented by thoao export in
ventorsofhow to do It. " If thes
commissioners wore really in a post
tlon to exercise power in the manno
of regulating freights , In the absence
of definite laws , their position would
bo moro like that of the czar of HUB-
ala than any oflioer known to our re-
public. They would oxorclao despotic
power over Interests involving millions.
Tncy can only ba useful aa a primary
court uudur definite laws. Then if
they were too olaatla the people could
appeal to a higher court.
