TO POT ALL TOWNS ON SAME RATE BASIS Local Stations To Have Same Freight Rates As Larger Cities TO BASE RATES ON MILEAGE Railroad* Issue Statement In Regard To Proposed Revision of Freight Pates In Georgia, Atlanta, Ga. —tSper.ial)—Explain- ing the *ecessity tor the revision of freight rates in Georgia which the (railroads have proposed and Ihe gene ral effects of the revision, the fol lowing statement, addressed "To the ■People Served by the Railruads in Georgia,’’ has been -isssued by Messrs.

Culp, vie* Jinesident of the Southern 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.

J AND FLAYERS / By RANDOLPH ROSE TY COBR—the more he plays the better he gets. This is hi; m \ twelfth year in the nut- J| jors and the way h • “1 started out the very first t; 1 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. LOW EXCURSION FARES Via ATLANTIC COAST LINE “The Standard Railroad of the South FROM WILLACOOCHEE To BRUNSWICK JACKSONVILLE, ST. AUGUSTINE, ST.
