MAKES REASONABLE RATES;
MONOPOLY WRATHFUL
Stllwell tella how he first In
curred the 111 will of the railroad
kings and masters of finance by
building the Kansas City Southern
railroad, designed to reach the
Uulf of Mexico over a route 100
miles ahorter thun any other line.
When this line was started, the
lallroad monopoly was forcing the
people of the West to ship grain
1,400 milea to the East. Kale dis
crimination was ruining Kansas
and other states further west. The
Kansas City Southern railroad was
projected to compete with this rail
road monopoly by furnishing an
outlet at tide water only 1,000
miles to the south of Kansas City
The road was built and reason
able rale* were put Into effect.
Trien broke the storm. Railroad
meeting* were called in New York,
Chicago and other place*; all
Weetern road* boycotted the
Southern for 90 day*; their car*
would not be received by any rail
road.
Vet the road continued opera
tion*. rate* were forced down, and
the new route brought prosperity
to Kan*** City, But the railroad
kings had decided to "get" Stilweli.
He finally »»« forced out of the
Houthern road, and realgned aa
president of the (Suardian Tru*t
Co.. which he had built up.
Htllwell launched another ven
ture, a railroad through Mexico to
compete with the llarrltnan line*
and bring the Co«*t 400 mll««
