 already done so. Members may 

 get in touch vtrith their local 

 Farm Bureau offices, or else -write 

 direct to the Sangamon County 

 Farm Bureau, Springfield. 



Ask for Reduced Rates 



of Fare and One Half 



The I. A. A. Transportation De- 

 partment has secured special rates of 

 fare and one half for the round trip on 

 nearly all the Illinois railroads, includ- 

 ing the Illinois Traction System. 



The special rates are good from any 

 point in Illinois, also from St. Louis, 

 Mo., to Springfield. The New York 

 Central Lines and the T. P. & W. alone 

 stated that they didn't secure enough 

 traffic in former years to warrant mak- 

 ing any concession. 



If the station agent refuses to sell a 

 cut rate ticket, get a receipt when you 

 pay your fare and then see a represen- 

 tative of the I. A. A. transportation de- 

 partment when you arrive at Spring- 

 field.

Commission Decision 



As we go to press the Illinois Com- 

 merce Commission has not yet handed 

 down its decision as to whether or not 

 the Panhandle Illinois Pipe Line Com- 

 pany is a public utility and therefore 

 subject to the Illinois Public Utility 

 Act. 



The Illinois Agricultural Association 

 some time ago filed a brief with the 

 Commission holding that the business 

 proposed to be transacted by the Com- 

 pany does not constitute a public utili- 

 ty service.
