State rail rates for convicts debated in Des Moines
A Des Moines dispatch reports the Milwaukee Road declined to offer reduced fares for convicts and guards and says all travel for the state must pay full fare. The board of control plans to transfer inmates from Anamosa to Fort Madison under the reformatories law, while the railroad would not grant cheaper rates, except possibly nominal rates for guards if needed. The piece also covers related court rulings on tax exemptions for government bonds and ongoing rate-readjustment debates by the state railroad commission.
