Railway Agent
Defends Rates
On Live Stock
Pre sent Freight Charges Hare
No Relation to Condition
Of Industry, Commerce
Commission Is Told.
Omaha Youth to Study
In berman University
Washington. Jn?y 16. Present
freight rates hare no relation to the
condition of the live stock indus
try in the west, Kenneth F. Bnr
Sess, Tfpresertbff the railroads, de
clared today before the Interstate
Commerce committee n oral argu
ment on the shippers plea for re
lief in the states where utilities com
missions have intervened.
Previously representatives of the
live stock interests had declared that
the rates were destroying the west
and would result in the railroads
being among the worst sufferers in
the end.
The railroads should not be al
lowed to sacrifice the future of the
west on the altar of present rev
enues." S. H. Cowan of the Amer
ican Live Stock association said.
Rate reduction asked by the
shippers amount to $34,000,000 a
year, which would be but L2 per
cent of the total value at the mar
ket of the live stock shipped oa west
em roads, Mr. Burgess declared.
While the ralue of the live stock
on the farm in 1920, be added, had
suffered a deflation of $819,000,000,
the freight rate increased in that
Tear n the western roads was only
$7,488,000.
Discussing yesterday's report of
Examiner Disque, which held that
the rates on live stock were low
from a transportation standpoint,
but because of conditions prcvs.il-
t tug in tne mcustry iney are nign
irons an' economic standpoint, Mr.
B urges s said:
"The economic standpoint repre-
r 4
terns a new test ot reasonaDjeness
unknown to the law, without giving
any measure to tell what would be
reasonable and if you find that these
rates are reasonable from a trans
portation ftandpoint I challenge your
jurisdiction to reduce them."
Under the law, he said, rates on
one class of traffic could not be de
creased so as to throw a burden on
other classes of traffic

mitting Busses to Run in
Direct Competition Tiih

Des Moines, la-, July 16. (Special
Telegram.) Federal Judfe Martin
J. Wade issued an order for street
car suspension here Aujrust 1, provid
ed the street car company has not
sold its property, reached an amicable
settlement with the city council by
that date, or obtained new credit.

pany bondholders until July 21 to
file objections to suspension as asked
by the receivers and advises the re
ceivers in the meantime to prepare
for suspension of service August 1,
"if the court so orders."
In his order Judge Wade criticises
the city for not taking the street car
situation more seriously ana com
plains that "the city violated the
spirit and purpose of the franchise by
admitting in direct competition with
the street car railroad a system of
busses which reduced the revenue of
the stret car company. He advises
the street car corporation to obtain
new credit and if this is not possible
to sell some of its properties. j
"This is possible," said Judge
Wade, "and would carry the car serv
ice through the year."

erty by the receivers. Judge Wade
savs this will obviate the necessity
of a foreclosure sale and the attend
ing expenses, and advises that both
the franchise and property be sold

pension of service, if some adjust
ment is not made by August 1, ac
