Ph^p3?3- Freight Rate Discriminations Do Exist in Georgia The railroads of Georgia have suggested for the consideration of the Railroad Commission of Georgia, at the hearing on August 17, a system of rates that it is be lieved will eliminate the discriminations now existing between the cities and towns in Georgia. There are approximately two thousand railroad stations (cities and towns) in Georgia. About sixty of these cities and towns are accorded what are known as “bas ing point rates,” which means that these comparatively few points enjoy lower rates than the other nineteen hundred and forty points. The rates between these comparatively few basing points are lower than the rates between intermediate points and lower than for like hauls in other directions. The basing point system has been condemned by the Federal Congress, the In terstate Commerce Comission, the Railroad Commission of Georgia and the authorities of other States. In their desire to retain the advantage they have enjoyed, a considerable number of these sixty favored larger cities and towns (b as ' n g points) are opposing a freight rate revision in Georgia. The railroads have been put on notice by the Supreme Court of the United States and the Interstate Commerce Commission that they must harmonize state and interstate rates. In the Shreveport case, the Supreme Court of the United States held: ‘‘The power to deal with the relations between two kinds of rates as a relation lies exclusively with Congress. It is manifest that the State cannot fix the relation of a car rier’s Inter and intrastate charges without directly Interfering with tile former, unless it simply follows the standrad set by the Federal authorities.” The Interstate Commerce Commission, pursuant to an Act of Congress, has order ed the elimination of the basing point syslem. To conform to the requirements of this order the railroads were compelled to make a radical revision of interstate rates. Correction of interstate systems of rates in conformity with present legal require ments, without correcting intrastate systems so as to conform to the same standard, would create situations repugnant to the laws against discrimination. It is necessary to bring about a revision of rates in the entire Southeast in order to harmonize intrastate rates with interstate rates. A beginning in the matter of revision of intrastate rates must be made. The rail roads first petitioned the Railroad Commission of Georgia for a revision because more discriminations and inequalities exist in this State than in any other State in the South. Petitions are now being prepared for presentation to the Railroad Com missions of various States in the Southeast with this object in view. What the railroads of Georgia now propose to the Railroad Commission of Georgia Is a revision of Georgia rates in conformity with the principles that the Interstate Com merce Commission, pursuant to Federal law, has required them to observe in adjust ing interstate rates. We do not believe that the people of Georgia expect or require a preferential ad justment of freight rates. The real question involved is whether the proposed revision is just and reason able from the standpoint of the railroads and the shippers, and such advances as are proposed should not be condemned simply because they are advances. It U not and will not be the policy of the Railroads of Georgia to pro pose any system of rates which would discriminate unjustly against the Georgia producer in favor of producers located at points without the State. Should the principle appear to be violated by any technical construction of the petition we give assurance tKat we will not propose, nor will we attempt to adopt, in actual practice, any rate at variance with the same. The interests of the people and the intersts of Railroads are identical. Any sys tem of rate making which works a hardship on the one works a hardship on the other. The primary object in the proposed revision is to systematize Georgia freight rates so that all cities and towns may be put on an equal basis and discriminations removed. Some rates will be increased while others will be lowered. If, in the readjustment, the railroads enjoy increased revenue it will not be unreasonable for the Commission to grant it, because the railroads have heretofore shown the tremendous advance in the cost of everything which enters into the manufacture of transportation. Commisioner Daniel, of the Interstate Commerce Commission, in the investiga tion of the 1915 Western Rate Advance Case, said: “In the matter of rate regulation and fixation we have reached a point where one of two courses ought deliberately to be chosen and clearly announced. If, despite in creased costs not offset by increased revenue, increases in rates are to be denied, ex cept where in individual instances gross injustice would be occasioned by their denial, the carriers ought to be apprised of this policy, so that they mav set their house in order, if they can, against such a situation. If, on the other hand, we are to acknowl edge in general, what we are perforce compelled to admit in detail, just and reasonable increased rates should be permitted not grudgingly but with such fair measure of allow ance as will indicate that the transportation industry is entitled in the interest of the public to earnings sufficient to provide a service commensurate with public needs.” THE RAILROADS OF GEORGIA PARIS GREEN 1 £“ nd 50c 10 pounds per pound. 100 pound kegs 40c 45c per pound If you need Paris Green this price is below the market.

If such be the case, let them take warning from the following dis tressful tale which we have clip ped from the editorial laments of a brother editor. There’s a moral to the tale which the read er will discover in due time. Read on: We once knew a man who was too stingy to take the newspaper in his home town and always sent over to borrow his neigh bor’s paper. One evening he sent his son over to borrow the paper and while the son was on the way he ran into a large stand of bees and in a few minutes his face looked like a summer squash. Hearing the agonized cries of the son, the father ran to his assistance, and in doing so ran into a barbed wire fence, cutting out a handlul of flesh from his anatomy and ruining a $4 pair of trousers. The old cow took advantage of the hole in the fence, got into the corn field and killed herself eat ing green corn. Hearing the racket, the stingy man’s wife ran out of the house, upsetting a four-gallon churn full of cream into a basket of kittens, drown ing the whole flock. She slip ped on the cream ar d fell down stairs, breaking her leg and a $19 set of false teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the spilled cream into the parlor and ruined a $40 carpet. During the excitement the daughter eloped with the hired man, taking the family savings with them. The moral is that every man should be a subscriber to his home newspaper. —Exchange.
