RATES NOT HIGHER
ON GEORGIA ROADS
Railroads Reply to Statement By Statis
tical Bureau Gf the Georgia, Ship
pers’ Association
COMPARISONS NOT CORRECT
Shippers Are Asked To Suspend Judg
ment Until Commission Looks
into Revision Question
Atlanta, Ga.—Replying to state
ments which they declare are in
complete and wholly misleading, the
following statement on the proposed
revision of freight rates in Geor
gia has been issued by Messrs. E. T.
Lamb, president of the Atlanta, Bir
mingham and Atlantic Railway, R. A.
Brand, fourth vice president of the
Atlantic Cost Line, W. A. Winburn,
president of the Central of Georgia, J.
B Munson, vice president of the Geor
gia Southern and Florida, C. R. Capps,
first vice president of the Seaboard
Air Line, and J. M. Culp, vice presi
dent of the Southern Railway:
“Articles and editorials have recent
ly appeared in a number of Georgia
newspapers, based upon a statement
given out by the Statistical Bureau of
the Georgia Shippers’ Association,
and purporting to show that the aver
age of the present and proposed rates
on Classes 1 tc 6 in Georgia for cer
tain distances are high as compared
with the rates in Virginia, North Caro
lina and South Carolina, and pointing
out the different methods prescribed
by the Commissions of North Carolina
and of South Carolina for making
joint or combination rates.
"The figures presented in this arti
cle do not fairly represent the meas
ure cf tbe freight charges in these
States as compared with Georgia.
“In the first place, no mere compari
son of the figures applicable in the
different States on Classes 1 to 6 cor
rectly reflects the actual freight
charges on the traffic that moves, be
cause of the widely different freight
Classifications prescribed by the
several States.
“Furthermore, the great bulk of the
traffic that moves within the South
ern States is handled under other
Class rates or under commodity rates.
“This is especially tree in Georgia,
and the Railroad Commission of Geor
gia prescribes rates on commodities
that move in great volume, such as
fertiliser, fertilizer material, iron and
steel articles, forest products, brick
and melons, that are substantially
lower than the prevailing rates on tbe
same articles in other Southern
States.
Georgia Rates Lower
“The Classification prescribed by
the Railroad Commission of Georgia
is lower than that of any other South
ern State. The following Classifica
tion comparison is illustrative of this
with respect to some important arti
cles in the merchandise classes
(Classes 1 to 6):
South North
Georgia Carolina Carolina Virginia
Class Class Class Class
Canned Fruits and Vegetables a 5 with- 6 4 4
out p. c
Paper Pads and Tablets .... 3 2 2 3
Tinware 4 2 3 2
Brooms 5 1 1 an< *
Butter 5 1 2 and 3
Crackers 5 4 4 4
Matches t 3 1 1 1
Clothing, Cotton 5 1 1 1
Woolen Goods a 4 with- 4 11
out p c.
Bags, Cotton 6 4 5
Cotton Piece Goods a 6 with- b Special 6 4
out p. c.
(a.) —“Without p. c.’ means that the
rates of the Class C roads —A., B.
& A, C. of Ga., S. A. L. and South
ern Ry.—in Georgia are 25 per cent
less than their mileage rates on Class
es 4, 5 and 6, respectively.
(b) —"The ‘special’ South Carolina
rates are substantially higher than the
Georgia rates.
“Therefore, while the rates on
Classes 1 to 6 in Georgia may be high
er than the same Class rates in other
States, as a practical matter, due to
the lower Classification in Georgia,
the actual rates paid by the Georgia
shippers are lower on numerous and
important articles.
“In its opinion in a case brought by
the Atlanta Freight Bureau against
Georgia rates, the Railroad Commis
sion of Georgia In 1904 said: ‘The
Commission finds upon investigation
that the rates promulgated by it are
as a whole lower than the rates es
tablished by the Commissions of oth
er Southern States. In the investiga
tion of this case it was alleged, and
not denied, that the Classification of
the Railroad Commission of Georgia
contains items rated lower than any
other Classification, as follows: South
ern Classification 360 items, Alabama
315, Mississippi 250, Tennessee 333,
North Carolina 167, South Carolina
261, Florida 266.’ A comparison of
(he Georgia Classification with other
Classifications is more favorable to
Georgia at this time than it was in
1904, because of the fewer exceptions
to the Southern Classification now in
efTect in other Southern States.
Propose Thousands of Reductions
“In referring to the disparity be
tween the methods of constructing
joint rates in North Carolina and
South Carolina, as compared with the
methods in Georgia, the Statistical
Bureau fails to mention the important
fact that the railroads have proposed
to observe the long and short haul
principle in making rates in Geor
gia, which, if permitted, will eliminate

is used in making joint rates, causing
thousands of reductions, which, fairly
considered, have an important bear
ing cn the reasonableness of the pro
posed Georgia tariff.
“The Bureau omits mention of the
fact that in Virginia no deduction is
required from the local rates of sepa
rate lines on joint hauls, which is also
true of joint rates in Tennessee.
“The Statistical Bureau also omits
to mention a feature of the present
Georgia tariff which favors Georgia
shippers, namely, the application of
what is known as the ‘break’ in ap
plying the mileage scales for dis
tances under 100 miles. Thus, in the
other States, for a haul between 20
and 26 miles, the 25 mile scale is ap
plied.
In Georgia the 20 mile scale applies
up to 22 miles. To illustrate: the dis
tance from Atlanta to Jonesboro is 21
miles. Under the rule of the Georgia
Commission, the mileage rate for 20
miles is applied, while under the rules
In North Carolina and South Carolina
the rate for 26 miles is applied, and
on the Southern Railway in Virginia
(locally and jointly between all sta
tions on the Washington, Danville
and Richmond Divisions) and in Ten
nessee (Knoxville Division), the rate
for 30 miles is applied.
Unfair To The Railroads
“Furthermore, the comparisons
made by the Statistical Bureau are
unfair to the railroads, as the rates in
Virginia, North and South Carolina
are exhibited as if they had been
established by the railroads voluntar
ily. As a matter of fact, the rates in
North and South Carolina were
established by the Commissions or
Legislatures of the States over the
protests of the railroads, and the lat
ter have no option but to apply them.
The rates of the Southern Railway
in Virginia were established many
years ago under conditions entirely
different from those existing in othei
Southern States.
“Due consideration of the foregoing
facts, and the addition of the Ten
nessee, Alabama, Florida and Missis
sippi rates (doubtless unintentionally
omitted), or the rates in any one of
those states, in making the compari
sons would have led the Bureau to a
different conclusion.
“While the foregoing may appear
highly technical to the average read
er, we trust it is sufficiently clear to
show how easy one may be misled by
deductions based on a partial pres
entation of facts, using rates selected
for the purpose that the analyst was
seeking to obtain.
“After all, these illustrations merely
emphasize the notorious fact that
there exists a multitude of discrimina
tions, the outgrowth of our dual sys
tem of rate making, which, however
necessary or wise in the past, is im
suited to present conditions in this
great country. This system, and not
the carriers, is to blame for these
inequalities, and the Statistical Bu
reau appears unmindful of the fact that
the plan 'of the carriers is to remove
the very inequalities which form the
basis of their comparisons.
“As the result of the efforts of ship
pers of each state to secure rates low
er than the rates paid by shippers of
neigbboring states, and by interstate
shippers, we have no two systems of
rates alike, and, as a consequence,
there are numerous discriminations
and inequalities, which the railroads
are seeking to remove with the co
operation of the various state regula
tory bodies.
Would Remove Discrimtnarons
“It is for the purpose of perfecting
a rate adjustment for the entire South
east, which would eliminate such dis
criminations and discrepancies be
tween intrastate rates in the different
states, and between intrastate rates
and interstate rates, that the railroads
have proposed the readjustment in
Georgia which they are now asking
the Railroad Commission of Georgia
to approve, and, with this same pur
pose in view, they are submitting simi
lar petitions to the Commissions of
other Southern States.
“We are confident that the read
justment we are proposing would give
an harmonious and reasonable system
of rates under which every shipper
w'ouid pay like charges for similar
■ ervices, both intrastate and inter
state.
“Manifestly, such a readjustment
cannot be made without increasing
rates between points where they are
now relatively low, and on commodi
ties which do not pay their just share
of the cost of transportation. Such
a fair and harmonious adjustment
can never be reached without increas
ing some rates since it would bankrupt
the railroads to make an adjustment
by the only other process—that of re
ducing every rate to the level of the
lowest rate in effect in any state in
the Southeastern territory.
"We think it is only fair, and we
are asking no more than justice, when
we again request that the shippers
of Georgia, and the public generally,
suspend judgment in regard to this
matter until the entire question has
been threshed out before the Rail
road Commission of Georgia."

SAM CRAWFORD
FAMOUS PLAYS
AND PLAYERS
By RANDOLPH ROSE
HERE’s a record you
would be safe in
betting on without A
'ooking it up—namely, Jj fsl|
that Sam Crawford has U /Jj
driven in more runs v* /
than any batter in either V I
league. You couldn’t
help be safe cm this, for twfflk
look w’ho bats ahead of
him —none other than
the famous Tyrus Ray
mond Cobb, and if Cobb isn’t a good run.
getter there ain’t no such animal, and
then, anyway, Crawford knows how to
oat.
Crawford follow ing Cobb is about as
logical a batting arrangement as any
body could find in a lifetime. Cobb, him
self, with the highest batting average in.
either league, therefore has the greatest
ability to get on. Being the best base
runner, he is helped out immediately by
Crawford who always comes along with
the timely wallop.
Old Wahoo Sam looks as good as ever
this season. In fact, that wholOyDetroib
outfield, Cobb, Crawford and Veach,
looks pretty much like a stone wall to
the young outfielder recruit who tries
to catch on with the Tigers. It has
broken the heart of nwny a good appli
cant. A player can be a wonderfully
good outfielder and still fail to make
connection on that team.
Crawford started, out with the
Chatham team in the Canadian League
in 1899, starting off with the good bat
ting average of .370. He finished out
the ‘99 season, also 1900, 1901 and 1902
with Cincinnati, batting .270, .334 and
.333 resipectively.
His big career started the next year
1903 with Detroit, where he went to
work in right field' and has been there
ever since with the exception of a little
relief work now and then at first base.
In all his thirteen years with Detroit
he has been a hard Litter, batting over
