STATE COMMERCE COMMIS- SION REFl'HBD TO STAND FOR' 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. Two years ago the Interestate BROOKS COUNTY CANDIDATE IS GIVEN CORDIAL ENDORSE MENT BY TIIE BA IN BRIDGE SEARCH LIGHT. 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 Prof. K. H. Beck, representative the legislature from Brooks county, and one of the best known educators In the state, will be in th e rice for state school commis sioner. Besides being eminently quali fied for the Important position, Mr. 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 the educational field and probably man In Georgia has a bettor rec ord In his work for the upbuilding Qnctlons. Th e M$te rail- , and public service coinmlf*|ona of Arkansas , Colorado, California. Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, f Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ne vada, North Dakota, Oregon, Okla- ohma, Texas, Washington and Wis consin have united in & protest ngainat the new classification, and have pointed out that the proposed Increases® are more than sixty per cent l n excess of the proposed re ductions, an<), that the reclasslflca. tlo Q plan of the roads simply Is a subterfuge to get through a big In crease of rates. The proteat of the atate commis sions was made after the various 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 that seventy per cent of this capital isation i 8 water.
