i malio the followfiic statement :
"Wo have for scvoral months boon carobo
j fully considering the question of the present
1 \ freight rates In Nebraska , and ttio present
rates upon the products of Nebraska to the
i eastern markets Wo conclude niter nlhor-
ough investigation ot the question that the
pcoplo of this stnto nro much moro IntorItu

haul to eastern markets for the products of
\ the stnto than In any reduction that has

H braskn points to Chicago Uy this concoso
H slon wo sccuro from thu railroads the same
Be rotes for that portion of the state enst of the

i " ) > cr ton per mlle than from Illinois , Iown ,
ntul other states noarcr the markets The
interests of this state scorn to differ from
t Iown in this respect
It is of vital importance that the low rate
for long hauls upon products should gradu-
r nllv bo reuueed , whllo the question of local
gj rate upon morcnnmllso is of comparatively
llttlo BignlHeanco
Acting upon this conclusion , wo passed a
resolution Jnuunry US , rccominendiug that
the railroads of this state should tnnko a innd
i torinl reduction In the rntes upon corn to
the eastern markets Holioving it of great
importnnco thut this recommendation should
bo pushed nnd the conclusion reached at the
earliest practicable date , tvo called upon the
presidents and general liinnugors ot all the
roads interested in Chicugo this weolc , and
obtained a conference with the committee
of nil of the roads Interested In Chicago on
the nth nnd ( lib inst Wo urged upon them
a roductlon in the corn rnto of from a to 5
cents per bushel , hoping that they would
rod the importnnco of making n radical roh
duction to moot the present emergency , f ho
present low prices paid for corn in Nebraska 1
nnd the serious effects resulting therofrom
to iho woiraro of all of the pcoplo ot this
state were explained in the fullest detail ,
The railroad people scomod to npprec' ' ate the
situation and cvmcod a disposition to do as •
J much as wo requested if any positive ovi-
/ dencu could bo produced to show that a
V radical reduction In rates at this time insure i
- - to the benellt of the people of Nebraska
_ rivp > i'joliovo that the present prices nt the
p py - SoaiJonril are llxed by supply and demand I
P P' nnd are Influenced by the millions of bushels
now In store waiting export at nil seaboard I
W points The largo supply In elevators and
on farms in the western states and also the
B freight rates now existing are an important
element in the prices now paid in eastern
_ maricots All of the largo purchasers of
corn in Chicago corrobnrato tbo ideas ot the
S railroad people on this point They bcllovo i
j that a radical reduction in rates or any reduction -
duction that would in the present wonk con
illtion of the market stimulnto the movement
• would immediately depress prlcos to such uu
jfl extent that the producers in tbo west would I
ih receive no bonellt Wo would like to have had
M our rocomiuendatlons for a material rcduc-
( I Hon carried out Wo think that tbo cxpari- : !
\ \ ment perhaps would not have resulted in a
( \ sufllclont additional movement of corn to
it bavo eoriouslv nffected the markets It must
I ] bo udnilttod , however , that tboio is a good
21 deal to bo said upon the other sldo of this
f | question at the picscut time Wo linally ) T
H ohtaiucd from the railroads a reduction of 10
1 per cent from the present rntos ou corn from
