The survey has determined that while thero s considerable difference In the distance, the rate charged Is the wame. The Northwestern has the short line by one-tenth of a mile. The dls- tance over each of the six lines is: worthwestern, 487.0; Milwaukee, 488; Burlington, 4%; Rock Island, 603.4; Chi cago Great Western, 609; Illinols Central, 61647 miles. The layman does mot understand how the 312,06 as the fare between Omaha and Chicago was arrived at. Hnd the basis for making the new rate been figured on short line mileage, the fare would have been $1191, and if on long line mileagn, $120,. To reach what representatives of all the roads considered falr and equita Vle, the total distance of each of the six ronds was added and then the sum di vided by six, the number of roads Inter- ented.
