Executors. 7-7 9t See How the Railroads Have Helped These Towns Hundreds of Other Towns, Not Shown, Near and Adjacent to These, Have Been Similarly Benefited The hearinr in progress before the Railroad Commission of Georgia, which began on August 1 7th, seeks as one of its ob jects to readjust and equalize the freight rates on shipments between the cities and towns wholly within Georgia, by removing discriminations, so that freight rates to and from towns in Georgia, similarly situated, will be the same,, and no city can ship at a less rate than any other town to points equally distant and similarly situated. . Unless this readjustment is effected much of the improved condition possible by reason of the readjustment of interstate freight rates, ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and effective in Georgia since Jaunary Ist, 1916, will be lost t 0 has tremendously improved the rate condition of approximately two thousand towns in Georgia. They were formerly at a disadvantage as compared with their neighboring so-called basing point cities, on ship ments into Georgia, or on what is commonly known as “inbound freight.” The proposed Georgia, or intrastate readjustment, seeks to equalize, as far as possible, the freight rates between Geor gia points equally distant apd similarly situated. ...... . , J . r , . . .. The detailed and striking improvement shown by reason of the reduced interstate freight rates, already in effect in the competitive relations with respect to Madison, Bremen. Richland and Ocilla as representative Georgia points already publish ed has excited such general irtterest that additional and widely separated points shoMhg the benefits from the recent interstate readjustments are given below. In order to get the frill measure of these interstate readjustments, it is necessary to revise the rates within the State, so as to remove all intrastate discriminations. Approximate adjustments are afforded adjacent cities and towns not shown here. Hundreds of similar illustrations can be cited. TAKE MONROE, GA., FOR INSTANCE Monroe merchants compete in the same general t*rritQry with Athens and Atlanta..
