To the Jui-t Commltteson Freight Tarift Your sub-committes appointed to pre. pare a circular and plan of business, sub. mit tho following draft of an appeal for your approval, snd suggest that while they fully realize the nagnitude of our undertaking, they see no reason to doubt ita succees if energetic steps are taken, ‘The work to be done wiil preeent itself at ench step of progress, The foilowing seems the general plan to ursae: The memorisl and such appeal a3 you sball adopt to bo printed as soon as possible, and freelv cir- culated; the entire press, public officers, recoznized friends of the people, and all leauing citizens should be supplicd and re- quested to correspond with us, This stould lead to a state convention, in June, at Das Moines or some central point, At this convention, machinery should be_put in motion for county organizations, Per- sonal effort should be used where organ- izations wero not perfected. To meet the preliminary expenses funds will have to be raised at once, Respectfully, L F. Parg $ 0. A. Ficke Sub-Committee, Appeat to the Peop'e of Towa to Protec’ Them: telves Against naliroad Extorti'n and Dis- crimination Amounting to Milions of Over- charge: STATE POWER T0 REGULATE RAILROAD TARITFS, The power to enact laws to regulate raliroad oharges for moving freight from one polut within the state to au other has been fally declded to exiat in the legislature, The power to reg- ulate charges from one state into or through another state, rests In con- gross, and is clalmed to rest solely there, though this polnt has bsen questioned by high authority. The supreme court of the state of Iilinola has recantly decided that the state has the right to punish discrimination, even on hsuls contracted to go into another state. The question ot regu- lating inter-state commerce is, how- ever, of much less Interest to us than that of local rates, as the waterway competltion on our borders and to the enstern market serve as regulations, of all through freight. THE STATE OF IOWA 1s tha third state in the Ualon In rail- road mileage, and first for agricultural products for trausportation. Her vast agrlcultural resources that re- quired an outlet, coupled with the level natare of the country, have made it a fascinating fisld for railrond constraction, The people anticipat- ing large returns from the sale of pro- duce {f cheaply marketed have con- tributed liberally to the construction of these roads, in order to secure this cheap transportation, ofien entalling burdensoma taxatian as well as pri- vato indebtedness. Large tracts of GOVERNMENT LANDS ‘have also been given to these com- panies on which they have realiz:d millions of dollars, Thaese roads are now mostly ownad by non-residente, and the contribatlons of the people are in bat very fow lnstancos repre- sented In stock, and the hoped for cheap transporiation has nou been realiz:d, 1owa rays $30,000,000 to the rallzoad companies, Tho rail- road commiseioncrs say in their reporc that “‘thls vast business onght to ap- peal with effeciive force aliks to the sons? of jasties, but the railroad man- agers and the wisdom of the state in the matter of pablis control,” and add, ‘‘the only secarlty of both lies in th) prompt and mutaal recognitlon of the rights cf each.” We add that as there is no peraseptible recognition of the rights of the psople by the rail- roads It is time the poople were secur- ing the enactment of JUST LAWS to secure the reasonable charges to which the volume of freight, as weil as the cheap construction, easy gradi- ents and curvatures of the railroads in the state entitles them. That we are entitled to the low rates of the leading states, 1s fully shown by the LARGE DIVIDENDS on leading roads, These dividends would become enormous on some of the roads, If they were estimated on their actual cost within this state, The six leading rallroads, operating 3,419 mlles of road, report a net profit of $10,000,000, or $3,000 a mile, which would be a large per cent. even on the nominal cost, The com- mission’s report of 1881 says ‘‘that every effort to show the actual cost of the railroads (in Iowa) has been a fallure.” Hence we can only approx- imate thelr actual cost. EXAMINE FACTS, The commission’s raports glve us the average cost of freight on roads operated only In part witkin this state, bat do not give any averages on strict. ly local, or freight moved from one polnt within the state to another, They give the rates charged between pointa on the leading rods, and leave us to approximate from these to got goneral figures, These extimates would malo us ssfo In saying that we pay b cents a ton a mlle on an average, on less than car lots, and 2§ ceuts on wheat, coal and lumber in large lots, Woinvite the fullest examination of these facts by each ind!vidual reader av his own locality, and that he reports to this office his facts and inferences. We have no wish to exaggerate, While the rates are simply enormous HICHWAY ROBBERIES, |1 foruh . in the United States 1,20 conts & ton for giver) on all cu of freight, COMPARISON OF RATES, In Town with tho aver. oading roads, 1 cint per ton per mile, wo will take as ssmples, tiled clase froight, wheat and cattlo, on the Cal- cago, Reck Island & Paclfic and On all tho roads |of the average {s onch mile, (a8 [ wise in time and seoure reasenable rate on MAY 25 188 THE DAILY BEE--FRIDAY markoting, The lersona of the pest may well teach old settlers to be rates to the markets of the world now, THE GRANGER LAW, The avalanche of vindiotivencss and vitnperation hurled by the rail- road {nflaence upon the law of 1874, known at the Granger low, was more because 1t stood as an index of the vower of the people to control these ® 460 72 00 =6 150 52 2 80 4% 400 6 18 10 b 50 2 e 888 e f e et £49 - saas Lo 88888 822%78 < Pormile o | o 5 PR TR el IR Mol THROUGH RATES FROM TOWA TO CHICAGO, b i L S A L] 2 . 38273 1L A so—na R indels) wPercar.......

Someas GEELH 2 MAGNITUDE ¢ 8 BURDEN, The commlesioners’ roport for 1882 says 10,695,174 tons of feolghu ure moved i fows; of this amount over two mlllion vons fs strictly local (moved from one polnt ia the state 1o wnother.) Lat us eeo the ENOEMOUS AGGREGATE of excess for handling this 20 percant of the freight moved, Ualllug the average discance hauled within the state 100 miles, and we have the sum of 200,000,000 tons moved one mile, which would cost at one csnt a ton a mile §2,000,000. We must approxi- mate the rate now charged from fig- ures given in the reports, as wo have no other data. These would show that three cents a ton per mile would be a low estlmate. At this rate the cost of moving 200,000,000 tocs one mile would be §6,000,000, or $4,000,000 1§ EXCES3 of cost at one cent a ton per mlls, the rate of leading roads, If we give our carrlers 50 per cent more than the leading roads, cr $1.50 per ton per mile, we will still have $3,000,090 forced from the people annually, which is four times the annual tax for sup- porting the state government, RIVER TRANSPORTATION, The excasa of chargos 14 must bo re- membered is only on the atrictly local freight. One-half of the balancs oniy crosses the state, and does not effoot us materially except as increasing or diminishing the {ncome of the roade. The other half 13 freight origlnating In, or comirg to Towa to stop. Mach of this half would become strictly local to the immense benefit of sll the in— terests of the state, If tho railroads wore not allowed to compel it to ke the long heul to Chlcigo for thelr benefit, Iowa wounld then derive rome real beucfis from the rivors that bound it on two nides, These urjast charges aro most espeeially to prevent frelght from taking the cheaper river ionte to the geaboard, or to other competing (aot pooling) liacs which leave the river for the eastern seaboard at points below, Cheap rates to the rlvers would open up all the compsting markete of the country to Towa pro- dace, free from the manipulating pro- cesees of the Chicsgo market, THEY PREVENT LONG HAUL RATES, ‘The present syetem of charging as much for a few mjles haul to the state lino, aa {8 paid for a thonsand miles be- yond Chicago, or a8 would be pald for a thousand miles from the Mlastssippi to Noew York by rafl, in competition with the lakes and otherroutes, is cat- ting Towa cff from all the benefits of really long haul roates, Give reaton- able rates to the rivers, and we would soon be able to secure rates that would astonish us, There is no reason to doubt that the volume of freight to be moved betwecn the Misslsslppl and the eastern seaboard (to say nothing of the competition of the river route to New Orleans), would insure rates as low per ton por mile as the rates by rail from Chicago to New York, or In the state of Now York in competing with water transportation, if we could avall ourselves of 1t by proper rates to the river. The rates of the New York roads in competition with the canal, of § & cent per ton per mile, would be for the one thousand miles from Towa to New York, 25 cents per hundred, $5 per ton, or §60 per cer of ten tone, which Is no more than ls charged on merchandise traneported sixty miles in Towa, and less than s charged on wheat one-fifth the dis- tance. HARD TIMES, Thut Iowa is prosperous notwith. standing this taxation of mililons above just rates by the rallroads, is no argument in favor of allowing it to continue, Our natural advantages of sofl and climate do not belong to the rallroad corporations. Oar state ia new and has been a sucou Our vir- gin soll has ylelded abundance often when crops in other states and forelgn countrles have fatled, and wealth has flowed in upon us, We must not for get that the reverse has, Insome in- stauces, been trne; that we are at all on strlctly local rates for short hauls, 1t will ba seen by the following table, that thera are no cheap rates in which oltizens of Iowa are spoclally inter— ested. The frelght that ocrosses the state from other states may be low, but if we have any Interest In this, it is to have it high, that we may be charged less. We compare Iowa rates with the averaze rate of elght.leading roads In the Unlted States, 1 cen* o times liable to these reverses. The tendency Is to closer competition and lower prices for farm products, If the old and new roes of supply that Europe has nearer home, should suc- osed in excluding our products from the vast market of which we have had the benefit for the past few yea hard times would Indeed be upon us, crops would be of little benefit, at the present enormous cost and lary cominon oarrlers then because of any burden t Imposed. Ite provislons were mostly moderate. Its weaknese Iny In the opportanity rome of its ad- justmente gave experts for plekiog flaws, and in a want of clearncss that would enable thoee not exports to un. deretand its provislons, and a lever was thua glven by which the railroad ir fluence holated it out of exlstence. What s needed fs RIMPLE, JUST ENACTMENT that will secure the rights (f all, and that ail bueivess men, at lenst, can readily anderstand, It is not desira- ble that we go to extremes. Lot ue leave the ratlroads no just canss for complalnt, but adopt some system which can be adjosted with ease to tho wanta of the people, whilo allow- ing the carriers fair pay for the labor they perform, Declded euergetio ac- tlon by the people of all parts of the atate will secure this, ACIION IS NEEDED, It 1s none o soon to act If we wish for succoss next fall. The peo- ple should hold meetlngs, compare views and organize ready to secure a rouslng convention this summer, at some central polnt. Weo need to thoroughly understand the men who make np the NEXT LEGISLATURE, to know that they have falth in the movement; that they have honesty and backbons to resist money or blandishments, as well as intelligence, to take advantage of parliamentary machinery in time, before the rail- road englneers eet control of the throttle valves. ‘Jhe orgenizing cf each house to euit their Interests acd the prompt use of parllamentary tao- tlca are the Jeading means of the rail- rond intorests to defeat tha will of the people. This, with their passes and other bribes and a brilliant lobby, supplied with attractive rooms, where ail the enticements sre frecly pro- vided, must be expected and defeated by real men, There can be no deubt of our success if the proper organizi- tion is «flucted throughout tho state. The strougest evidence of this s fully apparent. The facts are too start ling to have been overlooked by the people Wo should waste no ener- gios on TRIFPING SIDE ISSUES, Eoaact a sfmple, definite, mileage tariff of rates, above which charges cannot gn, and the objoctionable fea- tares of ralirond management will disappear. Pooling will be uscless. If the rato s reasonable for short hauls and for trancfer from one road to another, they may carry long as cheap as they please, only that they muat serve all alike under like condi- tions, and uses no favoritism, in charges or in furnishing cars. All sorts of substitutes for this definite tariff of rates will be suggested in the rallroad Interest, to catch the unwary and thus fritter away time, The ELASTIC COMMISSIONER SYSTEM is porhaps the most seductlve subter- fage ever Invented by these expert in- ventors of ‘how to do it.” If these commissioners Were really in a posl- tlon to exerclse power in the manner of regulating freights, in the absence tof definlte laws, their position would be more like that of the czar of Rus- sla than any cfficer known to our re- public. They would exercise despotic power over Interests involving millions, Taey can only be ueeful as a primary court under definite laws, Then if they were too elastlc the people could appeal to a higher conrt, ORGANIZE, Those receiving this appeal, 1f ap- proviug, are requested to perfect au organization to carry out the object had in view.
