The Iowa Railroads

Chicago, June 30. - The managers of railroads leading froin this city through Iowa are discussing the Iowa railroad law, which is similar to that of Wisconsin. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, Chicago and Northwestern, and Illinois Central will be seriously aífected by the law. It is certain that the roads will take some joint action. The Chicago and Northwestern and Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Roads will issue a freight tariff to correspond with the new law. This line of action the other roads will probably adopt. Under the new passenger rates the fare will be thren cents per mile. The roads, at a meeting yesterday, failed to agree on the course to be purBued in regard to this feature, but at present the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific will submit to the law, and the other roads will continue their present ratea, except to points where their lines compete with the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific. The latter company are bound by the torras of the extensión of time by their Iowa grant to submit to whatever legislation shall regúlate freight and fare tariffs. The Attorney-General gives his opinión that the law can be enforced, though it is very loosely framed.
