Description:Excerpt from Special Report of the Railroad and Warehouse Commission in the Matter of Revision of the Schedule of Reasonable Maximum Rates 1902 to 1906 Inclusive Dear Sir - As indicated in the last Annual Report of this Commission, for the year ending June 30, 1905, the Commissioners herewith transmit for your information a full and complete report of the proceedings had before the commission in the matter of reduction of the rates of freight in the State of Illinois. As will be seen from the record, a large amount of correspondence was being received at the office of the commission, from Freight Bureaus, Business Men's Associations and individual shippers, complaining of the rates for the transportation of freight in the State of Illinois, being largely in excess of the rates for similar articles, and for like distances in adjoining states. It was then determined to investigate these conditions and to enable the commission to get the fullest information possible, they directed a circular letter to issue, (see letter of date March 4th, 1902 in the record). This letter was mailed to one or more of the leading wholesale and jobbing firms in every leading industry in the State, to all Freight Bureaus and Business Men's Associations, and to many individual shippers. The wide publicity given, called forth a very general response, which seemed to centralize itself around the petition filed on behalf of the Quincy Freight Bureau and which was originally made the basis of the proceedings before the commission. This was later joined in by separate and distinct petitions being filed by The Blooinington Business Men's Association, the Merchant's Association of Decatur, The Business Men's Association of Pontiac, the Springfield Business Men's Association, The Western Merchants and Manufacturers Association of Peoria, The Fruit Shippers 1 Association of Dongola, and many others. These petitions were published and several of the railroad companies made answer. Public hearings were held at various times during the year 1902 at which a vast amount of evidence was submitted, both oral and documentary. During this time also some of the petitioners had withdrawn their petitions, evidently having been granted concessions by the railroad companies covering their cause of complaint. On January 3rd 1903, final argument by counsel for both petitioners and the railroad companies, were made before the commission and the case taken under advisement.
