TO PUT ALL TOWNS ON SAME RATE BASIS local Stations To Have Same Freight Rates As Larger Cities TO BASE RATES ON MILEAGE Railroads Issue Statement In Regard To Proposed Revision of Freight Rates In Georgia. Atlanta, Ga. —(Special)—Explain- ing the necessity for the revision of freight rales in Georgia which the railroads have proposed ar.d the gene ral effects of the revision, the fol lowing statement, addressed “To the People Served by the Kailioads in Georgia/' has been issued by Messrs. E. T. Lamb, president of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railway; R. A. Brand, fourth vice president of the Atlantic Coast Line; W. A. Win burn, president of the Central of Georgia; J. H. Munson, vice president of the Georgia Southern and Florida; G R. Capps, first vice president ol the Seaboard Air Line,, and J. M Culp, vice president of the Southern Railway: “Beginning on June 26, the Rail road Commission of Georgia will have a public hearing on the petition of the Railroads for a revision of freight rates within the state. “A change in the BASIS underly ing the present system of rates, along the lines proposed by the car riers, appears inevitable. The car riers are not unmindful cf the more or kess drastic nature of the propos ed revision. They also thoroughly rer.7i/.e that their prosperity depends upon the prosperity of the communi ties they serve. They ask the sup cart of these communities in the ef fort to bring about this apparently necessary change with fair regard for al! the interests involved. “Since the beginning of railway j operation in the south there has ex ! isted in that section what is known j'sts the “Basing Point System,"” under | "which rates to certain points called I' ‘Basing Points'* are lower than to Bother points less distant, even though ! the less distant points are interme ! diate on the same route. To illus trate, Atlanta and Cord ole are ‘Basing Points.’’ The rates from Atlanta to Cordele are low’eT than rates from At lanta to po’nf.s he*wcen Mr..'-or; n~d Co'dole iVorph which pa, ser traffic ’rom Atlanta to Cordele. “ Even when the long and short haul principle is not involved, : charges are frequently less Tor a like ! distance from basing points to local stations and between local stations than between the basing points them selves. Only 60 Basing Points. “With approximately 2,000 railroad stations within the state, cr.iy about 60 are basing points. “Public discontent 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 basing point system has l>een 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 nespecting a complaint against long and short haul discrimination, the Georgia Commission declared that “the basing point system is wrong in prfinc'ple.” "Obviously, therefore, the basing point system cannot survive. Its abolition as to interstate traffic is 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 stance 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 Baaia. “It is net 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 “Basing 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 rates to all the 2,000 stations in Georgia on the basis of the present low rates to the SO “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 largely upon the prosperity of the railroads than upon any other agency, and un less the railroads earn revenue suf 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 these.advances in the short-haul rates: (a) To partially compensate for substantial reductions in rates for long hauls, and even greater reduc tions made necessary by the observ ance of the long and short haul rule; ar.d (b) Because of our conviction that, due to the increase in numbei of jobbing points, the average length of our short, or second, hauls will be materially reduced; and that, owing to the shifting of trade to primary markets, such hauls will, in many cases, be entirely eliminated. "sth. On certain articles which are given commodity rales the pro posed basis means a reduction in the freight rates on both short and long hauls, except to the old “Basing Points.’’ "On certain other articles given commodity rates the proposed basis, in some instances, means advances both on long and short hauls. In such cases the roads have proposed these advances for the reasons that the rates in Georgia on such articles are substantially lower than rates on the same articles between other points in Southern territory; and, as a matter of fact, rates on some of the articles are actually lower than the rales on ihe same articles in the territory of exceptional traffic density north of the Ohio and Potomac Riv ers served by the Pennsylvania Rail- road, Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and otbet carriers of great financial strength. “There is no transportation reason why rates on commodities in Geor gia, lower than on interstate traffic between points in Georgia and in other states, should exist. “6th. In addition to the proposed readjustment of class and commodity rates, the Railroad Commission of Georgia is also asked to adopt the Southern Classification, with certain exceptions, to care for articles of the gross or heavy type, ‘uch as brick, clay, sand, niartle, granite or stone, fire-procf tiling, etc., in lieu of the present separate Georgia Classi fication. •Uniform Classification. “The carriers, through a special Committee known as the Uniform Classification Committee, whose en ’l e time is devoted to c’ant.iyr-jtioi work, have trace ’ lien rcttvolv engaged in formulating a Uniform Classification. "More than 75 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 on traffic into and out of said state. The necessity for uniform classifica tion has been recognized and urged by tlie National Association of State Railroad Commissioners, various trade and industrial todies, and the interstate Commerce Commission. “The adoption of the Southern Classification would have the effect of changing many ratirgs in Geor gia on articles not covered by com tnoditv 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 niMn.v erroneous state ments as to the effects of the propos ed adjustment have appeared in some Georgia newspapers. While we do not believe that the Georgia press in 'ends to distort the facts, it is not 'mprolable that other erroneous “tatemenfs will he published, due to lack of proper information. We. therefore, ask the shipping public to <all upon the representatives of the < arriers 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 to any feature of the proposed revision a committee of traffic representatives has been located at Atlanta with headquarters at the Piedmont Hotel. This com mittee is composed of the following: C. B. Kealhofer, general freight agent, Atlanta, Birmingham and At lantic Railway; C. McD. Itavis, general freight agent, Atlantic Coast Line Railroad; N. B. Wiight, general freight agent. Central of Georgia Railway; .1. Vi. Cutler, general freigh' agent.

NAP RUCKER FAMOUS PLAYS AND PLAYERS By RANDOLPH ROSE NAP RUCKER is * tne beloved idol < f the Brooklyn fans. For m \ years lie was one of Jf 'Df*' (tflj the greatest pitchers in o /■ the National League. t I Ilis fast bail was a JL 3" J marvel. It had every body scared as no rjSbTey ■ L player cared to be “beaned” by a fast one from Nap Rucker. lUNnoaru Rosa But one day his arm gave him trouble. It became serious ami soon Rucker had to find a new motion—practical!}’ had to learn to pitch over again. In doing this he developed a slow bail—not just an ordinary slow ball but the slowest slow ball and the most tantalizing one that any batter ever faced. While his slow ball was a great success, be it known his fast was not the same old fast ball ot old. In a game against New York, with Otto Miller catching Rucker, Nap threw his “fast” ball. Chief Meyers who was batting missed it. “What kind of a ball was that 2” asked Meyers. “That’s Rucker’s fast bail,” said Miller. "Huh.” grunted the chief. “I can’t tell Ruckers’ fast ball from Walter Job nr son’s slow one.” Talking about pitchers reminds me of a story on Hub Purdue and Miner Brown. Purdue is a Tennessee product —the Gal latin squash, they call him. and Brown is noted as the three-fingered marvel who gained his greatest fame with the old Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance machine six ar seven years ago. Purdue joined the Cubs at Birming ham on their way north in 1908. He was an ambitious pitcher and marveled at the skill and speed of Brown. That day on the field Purdue said: “Say, Brown, how did you lose those fingers?” “In a corn sheller,” replied Miner. Purdue walked away very suddenly. “Where are you going in such a rush,” ask (si Brown. “Going to look for a corn sheller,” was the rejoinder. FOR CONGRESS.
