THE INCREASE IN HATES,
(BY C. II. TAVENNER.)
Washington, April 19.—The rail
roads of the country havo Inaugu
rated a campaign to Increase freight
rates over a territory comprising
‘practically half of tho United States.
Not satisfied with an arrangement
which permits them to pay enormous
dividends on a capitalization tha^
Is largely composed of water, tho
roads intend to still further en-
rich their gtockholders at the ex
pense of the peoplo.

Commerce commission refused to al
low the roadcf to increase their
rates. Now these same roads,
through indirection and by piece
meal, are trying to accomplish the
very thing the commission told
them they could not do. As part
of the strategy of the roads, they
hav Q filed with the commission a
new classification of freights—that
Is, they have submitted a plan
whereby certain articles of one class,
on which certain rate is allowed,
have been "jumped” Into a class
above, carryirg a higher rate. All
told, more than 1,400 articles have
bee n thus reclassified, and if the
commission permits this arrange
ment to go Into effect the people
simply will have to pay more to
have these articles hauled. The
proposed increase range from ten to
three hundred percent.
The roads, In submitting the new
classification plan, were careful to
reduoe the rate on a certain num
ber of articles, apparently for the
purpose of detracting attention
from tb^fact that tng pri

Besides being eminently quali

Beck Is a South Georgian and will
no doubt receive an almost solid
support from this section of the
state. His life's work has been in

subterfuge to get through a big In

The proteat of the atate commis

shippers' associations of the various
states had studied the plan, and
discovered the deception of it.
The charge has been made In Con
gress by Senator La Follette and
others that the corporations of this
country, Including the railroads, are
capitalized at 931,672,000,000, And
