Is there competition be- tween the cheap lands of Nebraska and those of Minnesota and Texas. ' Put yourself in the place of a railroad owner. Suppose you owned a road in Iowa and I owned one in Missouri, and there are a hundred miles between your road and my road. Would you let me make rates so low as to attract settlements along my line, or enhance lands along my line, without doing the same thing with your road 1 Would you adhere to excessively high rates, while I kept moderately low ones, an...y more than the land owners along your line would keep prices on their real estate so high as to drive buyers to my line . '' Would not, on the other hand, self-interest prompt you to make your road and the country tributary to it as attractive as possible 1 In other words, is it not for the interest of every railroad to so adjust its rates as to stimulate business . '' It certainly is ; and can the public and its prosperity need rates which do more than this . ? Again, it is not necessary that the two roads should strike a common point to make even that kind of competition which you say does exist at such a point.
