GOOD WORK ATTRACTS ATTENTION THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY

[Special Correspondence.] Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 18. The good work accompHshed by the ‘lnd-' iana Railroad Commission is beginning to attract attention throughout the entire conn try. —The commission, although less than three years old, is becoming a model for the commissions or other states”. 7 No other branch of the state administration is doing more in a general—way for the people of Indiana. When the commission was created by the Republican legislature three years ago there was a hue and cry from the Democrats that the Republlcans had merely created anotheF bureau to give some favorite politicians a job, but the fallacy of that cry is being demonstrated every, day. for the commission has more than paid for Itself in many cases. f . Freight Rates Inquiry. It is now reducing and equalizing freight rates as weir as making travel safer. During the next sixty days some conferences of vital importance to the shippers and consumers will be held here. One of these conferences will mark the inauguration of a ftovement to lower” freight rates.—Tt~ 1s almost assured that the commission will compel the roads to lower many rates and the result will be that the masses will be able to buy many of tile necessities of life cheaper than they do now. Great Reform Planned. Perhaps the greatest reform yet contemplated by the commission is One looking towards the complete elimination of dangerous grade crossings which have cost hundreds of lives, and which are a constaht menace to the public. If the commission succeeds in this work and there is every reason to believe that it will, it will have accomplished more for the people of the state than anyone thought possible when the railroad commission law was enacted. S±2 Position Plainly Stated. In a letter written to the superintendent of one of the large railroads operating within the state, a member of the commission butlines the attitude of the commission on the question of railroad crossings and says that the commission will keep in mind continually the idea of the gradual elimination of the grade-crossing, and the establishment of different grades for the rail and the wagon roads. That th£ advancement from the present crossings to elevated crossings will be gradual is evidenced by the the position of the commission is clearly outlined in it, as follows: “Your letter of the 17th, with reference to the work you are doing on highway crossings generally, was received and has been submitted to the commission. The commission is glad to note the active work you are doing to get your highway crossings in fair condition. ' "We beg leave, however, to object to your proposition 'that there never will be a time when we can say to the commission that every highway crossing in the state is in first-class shap6. The law of this state requires that highway crossings, when a railroad crosses them, shall be put in practically the same* condition that they were before the railroad passed over them. To Improve Crossings. “In the state of Massachusetts the railroad commission has been in existence for fifty years and has been devoting a great deal of its time and attention to the subject of getting the highway crossings in condition to prevent accidents and loss of life. We are informed f that in this state and other eastern states persistent efforts have been made apd are being made to separate the grades at the crossings of the highways and the railroads. The railroad commission of Indiana proposes to commence now, wherever it is practical, through Us inspectors and through the companies, the work of putting a great many, if not all, of these highway crossings in much better shape than they are at the present time. . ' ' “It proposes to go on with this work from year to year, getting them continually in better shape until the great loss of life that has taken place at these crossings shall be avoided. We note the difficulties that you labor under and the work you are doing, but we think it will be economy to put these crossings in the best shape you can at the present, because as we go farther into this work we shall require, wherever views of approaching trains are obstructed by buildings or by the topography of the ground, especially where the adjacent country is thickly settled, to insist that proper Warning signals, including electrio bells when necessary, shall be oonrtrueted. To Scrutinize Accidents. "It is our intention to scrutinise very carefully al! accidents that take place hereafter at highway crossing* and to require these to be in as safe condition as is possible under present conditions, working up finally to the point arrived at in the states I have mentioned, of a separation of grades and the final elmlnation of accidents that so often take place at highway crossings. We shall expect the cooperation of the carriers In this work, because {he Incidental benefits accru K|lU> them wiU be very great “The commission trusts and expects tl£t you will continue to devote yo»r U&o qpd the time of your m*n to the Hwyoeement o# these crosmngs.”
