The first man to appear befora them was Mr. Gere, of the Lincoln Journal, Much of the discrimlna‘ions exlsting in this state against shippers, by the rallroads, arises, thought Mr. Gere, from repeatod rate wars, carried on by opporing lines that come Into tho state from various polnts. For instance, a road from St. Jos, Mis- souri, to some point In Nebrasks, and a road from Councll Bloffs to the same point, invarlably give batter rates, to the morchants and also to other shippers, than they can get to Omaha, which fact, to the mind of the wltness, Is a wserious disorimination agalnst Omsaha, Mr. Gero said that he had never been connected with any rallroad, and o the various poiltical fights he had been both on the sides of the railroads aud egainst them. Daring the grasshop- per plagues the rallroads lowered their rates to what they said was beslow coet, and they dld that to glve the people of the state relief, but as soon as the plagne was over, rates were rafsed agoin to their highest figure, C.

He clalmed never to have had any in- terest in any such contract. Mr. Jabez Burrows, a farmer from Gage county, was tho second gentleman to appear. The farmers have a great source cf discontent over a fesling that their political powers are domineered over and subdued by the rallroads. The , best metkod for fixicg rates 18 by law, and as the general basls on which to fix ' rates he wonld take Into consideration | tte cost of construction and expense cf running different railroads. Heo believed that the farmers are becoming more and more In favor of a natlonal railroad com- missicn. He would be would be willing { to give 10 per cent profit on all capital | invested. The great evil of | the whoie businees is this practice among railroads of being ailowed to water and | ieflate stock. At one time here the man who bullt the Republican Valley road, which cost $12,000 a mile to construct, testified before a legislative committee that the road was not making enough to | pay for the grense on its wheels, bat at | the same tlme it held a market value of $45,000 per mile. Several transactions of shipments from Omaka and Piatts- mouth to points west, were read to show tha varlations of prices charged for rates and the dircriminations that are prac- ticed. The shipments in this state ate a matter of speclal contract. Mr. Burrows ls of the opinion thal rallroads ought to be considerrd, what those who bulld them say they are when asklpg for sabaldies from the people, soy they are, public institutions, and what- ever geel Into the construction account fairly and equarely thould be capitalized, The fact that there has been no umi. form aystem of accounts kept, hes given rise to the practlce of wateriag stock, *‘I beliave,” rald the witness, ‘‘that the gov: ernment ought to have the puwer to hulld parallel lines of road in any part of the country.

When there was not a railrond withln 200 miles of Omaha, Mr. Root bought eugar here 20 pounds for a dol’ar, but he had not been able to do so since. Senator Platt, took the witne:s up on thia statement, by saylng, that while riding around town, Mondsy evening, he saw painted on a bill board 20 pounds <f sugsr for $1. Mr. Root was at a loes to see or under- stand what businees it s to a rail- road about whkat any man ships so long a8 they have nothing to losa, The best method of remedying extortlonate rates and dlscriminations s by statutory enact- ments, Tho tariff here is exorbltant on locil and state traffic. The railroads gut everytbing, The faimers can’t make a decent livieg, The charges that are frequently made by the rallrozds knock everything from under us, A farmer moy go to the cepot with a load of wheat and while there the railroad rates may be raleed on him and the price of grain go down., The system of drawbacks, thought Mr. Root, is nothing but robbery. It merely takes from the little shippers and gives to the big ones. He himse!f had shipped stock in another men’'s name to save the rebate, and knew how it worked. There is no question, thooght the wltness, but that theae rail- road bosaes knew when they discriminate count thereof. RATE CUTTING, 1f the government will only eucoced In putting a stop to rate cutting and make an catabllshed soale of rates, 1 think It would be eatfsfactory to the roads, but tho sharp practlees resorted to by frelght and pesyenger agents to work their schemes would put the prosecuting attor- neys’ to coualderablo trouble.

OF coursa {f this was not allowed by the management the egeats or employes would not keep it vp, but a road without rebates would soon become bankrupt. If the system could be abolished on all roads, such a thing would meet the sp- probation of rallroad men as to the survival of the fittest theory, Mr. Adams stated that he had been trylng to Continued on fifth page. e ——— NEWSPAPER OUTFITS.

ON POOLING MATTERS So far a8 poolivg {8 concerned, it is nothing more than an attempt to hold in check the cut-throat competition that weuld prevail between lines of reilrcad, and without it Mr. Adams thought that within the course of a few years there would not be more than two or three roads in the country that would not be In the hands of receivers, It, therefora, Is lower rates, Mr, Burrows would have no objection to the pool system, and as an economy princlple It is not objectionable, provided rates are fixed by law. Under the question of long and short hsuls, and the dlecriminations allowed by rates, rallroad companies have the power to build up or tear down commaunities apd towns, and to eustaln his argament on this point tho witnees clted a few In- stances iu this state. As a measure of preventing the fesue of unauthorized and ILLEGAL RAILROAD STOCK, A goyernmental syetem of rallroad ac counts ought to be established, Mr, Burrows was of the opinlon that water routes for ehipplog products would be an immense benefit to the western peo: ple. Annual reports, comprehensible In their nature, and then cpensd to the people for Inspection, oughs to be made a requirement, The unequal distrlbution of wealth arising out of thls ralleoad oppression is becoming a matter of great lmportance. Tho growth of milllonalres is one of the deplcrable signs of the times, A farmer in this state owning say 160 acres of land ond at the head of an average famlly caunot possibly mske enough to live as he ought to live end edacate h's family as the times demand they should be educated. As a preventalion of this unequal d stribution of wealth #r, Bar- rows would put a etop to the practice of water!ng railroad stocks, which has done more than aoything else on earth to build up the mushroom milllocaires, 8.5 Reynolds, 8 grain merchart and shipper from Davld Oity, followed as the next speaker to Mr. Burrows, He strted In by correcling an erroneous the dread that railroads have of being wiped ou' of existence by consolidation, etc., that forces them to live up to the pool agreements partially, but it is a very difficult matter to keep them in control oven then. I regard the rallroad situa- tlon, at present, a very serious one, and that the goollnx system is llable to be broken down serlous apprehensicns are entertalned. At notime in the history of this country has there been such bad falth existing among reilrosd men, which Is the prevatling cause for so much disre- gard of agreements in the pools, That may, however, be due to the condition of the busioess of the country. I don't think, ssid Mr, Adems, that pooling, an 1t has been carrled out has worked a detriment to the country, other hand It hes certaloly prevented the wildest discelmination, that would be the caso if rallroads wero allowed to clamor fcr businoes withous restzictlons. The whols effects of pooling has been to steady the rates, but it has never been able to hold them up. The rate of trans- portatlon now in this country s lower than any other country om the globe.
