Railway:
‘‘Begiranirrg oi June 2G,, the Rail
road OonCTiisshm of Georgia will have
a public hearing on the petition of
the Rsdlroafls for a revision of
freight rAt-es 'within the etate.
"A change in the BASJs UiMlerly
ing the present system -of rates,
along the line#, proposed toy 'the car
> riem, appears inevitabVe. Tire car
riers awe not unmindful of the more
or less draSttc nature cd the fliropos
;ed revision. They also thoroughly
realise that Their prußj*xi.ty (depends
upon I*be -proi perity of (the communi
ties firry sirve. They ask tffee sui>-
oorj (tf these communities in the ef
fort to bring about this apparently
necessary (Change with fair regard
for a7l the interests involvefl.
’‘Since the beginning of uailway
operation in the south fh-ere has -ex
isted inn 'thsft section what is known
as tire "Basing Point System,' ** under
which rates to certain {roints called
“Basiirg Points’’ are lower ffcan to
other (points'less distant, even though
the fuss distant points are interme
diate <on the same route. To illus
trate, Atlanta and ('ordele are "Basing
Points,— The rates from Atlanta to
Cordeie are lower than rates front At
’ant* f».* poiitt*: be’ ween Mrcori and
Corde’ic through which passe® msaffic
from Allanta -to Cordele.
"Even when the long and -short
haul principle is rot involved,
charges are frequently less for a like
distance from basing points to local
stations and between local stations
than between Tht basing points theta
selves.
Cvsly ffO 'Basing Points.
‘‘With approximately 2,000 railroad
stations within the state, only about
80 are basing poiats.
“Public disoon tent with this system
of charges has been expressed with
increasing force for many years and
is now crystallized into an imperative
demand for revision.
"The baring-point system has beec
condemned by the Federal Congress,
by the Railroad Commission of Geor
gia, and by the authorities of other
states. In July, 1911, in its decision
respecting a complaint against long
and short haul discrimination, the
Georgia Commission declared that
“the basing point system is wrong in
principle.'’
"Obviously, therefore, the besing
point system cannot survive. Its
abolition as to interstate traffic ia
rapidly taking place under the 1910
Amendment to the Act to Regulate
Commerce. The most important in
terstate tariffs were revised in con
formity with the Federal Law effec
tive January 1, 1916, and the dispari
ties in favor of the basing points
wholly removed or greatly reduced.
"This revision was not at the in
itance of the carriers.
“The petition which the carriers
have presented to the Georgia Com
mission, copies of which will be
furnished on request, represents the
views of the railways with respect
to a fair substitute for the existing
system of rates.
Rates On Mileage Easis.
"It is not possible in this brief
statement to set down in detail all of
the proposed rates or any great part
of them, nor to explain in detail basis
upon which they have been made;
however, the following general state
ments are made for information of
the public:
"Ist. The proposed rates are on a
mileage basis. They contain no dis
criminations as between the old
“Rasing Points’’ and other points.
“2d. The proposed rates to the old
■‘Basing Points’’ are generally higher
than the present rates, while the pro
posed rates to the other points are
generally lower than the present
rates. The roads could r.ot make the
rater to all the 2,000 stations ir.
Georgia on the basis of the present
low rates to the 80 “Basing Points’’
except at a great sacrifice of reve
nue. We do not believe that the
Georgia shipping public will ask that
our revenues be depleted, as the con
tinued development of the Southern
territory is dependent more large’.'
upon the prosperity of the railroads
than upon any other agency, and ur,
less the railroads earn revenue sul
ficient to enable them to develop and
extend their properties business de
pression is inevitable.
“3d. For long hauls (distances
over 130 miles) the rates generally
represent reductions, except to the
old ‘‘Basing Points.” <
Reasons For Increases
“4th. For short, hauls the proposed
rates generally represent advances
We have asked for thece advances in
the short-haul rates:
(a) To partially compensate for j
substantial reductions in rates for
long hauls, and even greater redte
tions made necessary by the observ
ance of the long and short haul rule;
and
(b) Because of our conviction
that, due to the increase in nuiobei
of jobbing points, the average length
of our short, or second, hauls wall be
materially reduced; ami that, owing
to the shifting of trade to primary
markets, such hauls will, in many
uases, be entirely eliminated.,
“sth. On erttain articles which
=are given commodity rales tfce pro
posed basis means a reduction in the
freight rales oei both short and long:
hauls, except to the old “Basing
Points.”
“On certain other artichrs given
commodify rates the proposed basis,
in some instances, means (advances
both on tong and short hauls. In
such cases the mads have proposed
these advances for the rewsons t.hat
the ratios in Georgia on such articles
are substantially ’lower than rates on
the same articles between other
points tn Southern territory ; and, as
a matter of fact, rates an some of
the articles are actually tower than
the rates on the same articles in the
territory of exceptional traffic density
north of the Ohio and Pmomac Riv
ers served by the Pennsylvania Rail
road, Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and
other carriers of great financial
strength.
"There is no transporttffion reason
why rates -<m commodities in Geor
gia. lower ft,an on interstate traffic
between points in Georgia and in
other states, -should exist.
rtith. In -addition to the proposed
readjustment of class and -commodity
rates, the Railroad Commission of
Georgia is also asked to adopt the
Bout hern 'Classification, Wifh certain
exceptions, to < are for an-iicles of
the gross or heavy type, such as
brick, clay, rand, marble, granite cr
stone, fire-proof tiling, etc., in lieu of
the present -separate Georgia Classi
fication.
Uniform Classification.
"The <arriers, through a special
Committee known as the Uniform
Classification Committee, whose en
-f *«r* time is dtev'-fec’ to o’assifio'ittor
wesr'k. have -rlii-eo If" ’ been arrive*-
engaged in formulating a Uniform
Classification.
“More than 78 per cent of the de
scriptions of articles, methods of
packing, carload minimum weights,
carload mixtures, and rules in the
Southern Classification were adopted
by the Southern Classification Com
mittee on the recommendations of
the Uniform Classification Com
mittee, and these descriptions, car
load minimum weights, etc., are the
same as applicable in the Official
and Western Classification territo
ries.
"There is every reason why a
state classification having intrastate
application should be uniform with
the general classification used or.
traffic into and out of said state.
The necessity for uniform classifica
tion has been recognized and urged
by the National Association of Slate
Railroad Commissioners, various
trade and industrial bodies, and the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
"The adoption of the Southern
Classification would have the effect
of changing many ratirgs in Geor
gia on articles net covered by com
modity rates and not assigned to the
Exceptions to the Southern Classi
fication. Some of the changes would
mean reductions and others advances
in the present ratirgs in the Georgia
Classification, but would result in
ratings, descriptions of articles,
methods of packing, carload mini
mum weights and carload mixtures,
and rules being uniform with those
generally applicable between points
in the Southern territory.
“A great mrViy erroneous state
ments as to the effects c;f»tbe propos
'd adjustment have appeared , (1 some
Georgia newspapers. While we do
act believe that the Georgia press in
tends to distort the facts, it is not
improbable that other erroneous
statements will be published, due to
lack of proper information. Wo.
therefore, ask the shipping public to
call upon the representatives of the
carriers for any information that
they desire, which will be gladly and
promptly furnished.’’
Will Furnish Information.
In order that any shipper may be
able to secure authoritative informa
tion in regard lo any feature of the
proposed revision a committee of
'raffic represen talives has been
located at Atlanta with headquarters
at the Piedmont Hotel. This com
niittee is composed of the following

game it looks like hel’l k J
do even more wonderful 1
thing* this year than .. - L
ever before.
The Giants and Tig T
ers stood :ied at two r ”'- ;L,JI - I ' ll IiOSM
games each in a five-game series at 3.lar
ters, the first wvek in April. Cobb, who
is allowed to fake his time in reporting
in the spring, because he gets into -endi
tion quickly, was wired for frantically
by Manager; Jennings to get to Marlin i;v
time to outer tin* final and deciding
game, which Jennings was particularly,
anxious to win.
Cobb, who is a native Georgian, her”
in 1686 in Royston, Ga., rode on the
aleepw all night and reached Alarl iu just,
before game time. No uniform could be
found. So he went to center field in an
old suit of clothes and a street cap. This,
is wiiat he did the first go mi—-
Hit two two-baggers, got a has? on
balls, .stole second and third, scored on
a short hit: accepted five chances in the
outfield. 411 the Hies were hard to catch
as tlie wind was high and the field rough
and two of them were simply marvelous
cate lies. ,
After the game, Manager McGraw of
the -Giants, who peculiarly enough had
never seen Cobb play before, said:
“Well, all they’ve said about that boy
is true, and more, too. He’s the most
wonderful ball piaytr 1 evir
There are many marvelous stories
about Cobb, such as scoring from first on
a single, and feats like that. One I saw
my set in Chattanooga, when the Tigers
visitied my town in the spring of 1012,
returning from their training c;;:np, was
good.
Cotib was on third with Balcnti, Cliat
tanooga third baseman, about twenty
feet tue.k of the base, holding the ball
where he had fielded it. Cobb lead way
off as is his custom. You could see on
Bali nti's face an expression that said
plaiu as day, ‘ Xo need to try to steal
home on me with me holding the hall
right here.”
Cobb danced up and down the path
just as much as to say, “Oh. Bin just
prancing up and down here to see how
far I can go. You don’t think I’m fool
enough to try to steal home, do you?”
'1 hat s what it looked like in the grand
stand, anyway. Well, Cobb, after he
had got a big lead, lit out for home
Balenti was so surprised he made a bad
throw. And there wriit down in history
a player stealing home with the third
baseman holding the ball. That wa3
good enough for me.
