ENFORCING THE LONG AND

Intrastate Rates
Atlanta, Ga.—The recent order ol
the I^erstate Commerce Commission
enfoi W.x the Long and Short Haul
clause oi the Federal Act to Regulate
Commerce, has made necessary a gen
eial readjustment of freight, rates
throughout Sou.hern territory, declare

Karahan cf the Sbaboard Air Lino, and
j Fairfax Harrison of the Southern, in
i a statement, addressed “To The Peo-
] pie Served by the Railroads of the
I South,” which has just been issued.
■ Since the order of the Commission
| was handed down, a committee of traf-
j flc officers h.as been at work prepar-
ins tariffs which will put into effect
its provisions. Obviously, precise fig¬
ures to ail points ruay not be an¬
nounced pending a completion of the
work of revision. It is understood tha
where long and short haul discrimi¬
nations now exist, many rates will be
reduced and some of them advanced,
and that an important effect of the
revision in Georgia will be to give
a large number of local points more
favorable rates as compared with the
ra:es enjoyed by the distributing cen¬
ters.
For the local points to get the full
benefit of the principles under which
, the interstate rates will be readjust-
ed, that is to say, the reducing or elim-
ation cf the differences between the
rates at the local point.3 as compared
with the rates at the so-called com¬
mon paints, which are in the main
: t^e j arge cities, it will be necessary
: fo v a revision, following the principles
I of tha intersta e adjustment, to be
m ads in the intrastate rates, and a pe-
; tition to this effect is to be made by
the railroads to the State Railroad
Commission.
, Statement Of President
The statement of the railroad pre3-
identr, is as follows:
“To The People Served By The Rail
roads Of Tiie South:
“An order of the Interstate Com¬
merce Commission, pursuant to re¬
quirements of Federal law, compels a
i general revision, of Southern freight
rates. It is proper that the people of
the South should be informed as to
the reasons for this revision and the
principles upon which it is being made
“Excepting the Norfolk & Western
1 Chesapeake & Ohio and Virginian Rail
ways, which lie in Official Classiflca-
ticn territory, the railroads of the
Southeast receive virtually no part of
the five per cent increase in rates
recently acquiesced in by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. While
, the need of the carriers of the South
for increased revenue is certainly no
less than is that of the Northern and
Eastern roads, that need is In uo way
related to the revision of rates now
in progress which arises solely from
i the necessity of more nearly conform¬
ing to the so-called “long and short
haul clause” of the law as amended
in 1910, and as now construed by the
j Interstate Commerce Commission,
“The original Act to Regulate Com¬
merce forbade the making of lower
rates for a longer than for a shorter
distance within the same line cr route
under substantially the same circum¬
stances and conditions. The carriers
were free to meet competition as they
found it and were required to answer
only upon complaint as to the reason¬
ableness of their acts.
"The amendment of 1910 deprived
the carriers of the right to initiate
departures from the long and short
haul requirement, and they may no
longer meet competition as they find it
if the long and short haul requirement
of the law Is Involved, unless they can
first obtain the approval.of the Inter-
state Commerce ComWssion.
“They were furthermore required,
by this change in the law, to apply
to the Commission for authority to
continue in force rates existing at' the
time of its passage which contravened
the long and short haul principle.
Roads Must Make Changes
“The existing rate structure of the
South is not the creation of traffic
managers of this generation. It is
an inheritance from those who built
tho roads, and finds its explanation
largely in the geography of the South,
and in a public policy which encour¬
aged its creation. The changes now in
progress are not of the carriers’ choice.
"Water competition, the most im¬
portant factor in bringing about de¬
parture from the long and short haul
principle of the law, has-been peculiar¬
ly influential on the rate adjustments
of the South, surrounded as it is on
three sides by navigable water and
penetrated by navigable streams. Ter¬
mini of the first roads were on navi¬
gable waters and rates between those
termini were from the beginning de¬
pressed because of this water compe¬
tition. When, subsequently, railways
were extended to the interior, distrib¬
uting points were thereby created,
v.here there arose competition of two
or more markets, or of two or more
carriers, lesu'ting in depressions in
rates, even when there was no direct
water competition.
“These conditions undoubtedly con¬
tributed to the commercial and indus¬
trial development of the interior
South, and, while they resulted in
more frequent departures from the
ong and short haul principle of the
law, the carriers had every reason to
believe that their practice had the
approval of the public, even when it
was not directly the result of public
demand.
“Now, the Interstate Commerce
Commission, pursuant to the require¬
ments of an amended law, has conclud¬
ed an enquiry into rates from the East¬
ern Seaboard, including the Virginia
Cities, from South Atlantic and Gulf
Ports, and from Ohio and Mississippi
River Crossings, into the Southeast and
Mississippi Valley territory. As a re¬
sult the Commission has in large meas¬
ure condemned existing departures
from the long and shor; haul require-,
meat, except where justified by com¬
petition beyond the control of the rail
carriers, a phrase which came to be re-
trictfed to mean direct or indirect
water competition.
Must Raise Some Rates
“Obviously, the removal of inequali¬
ties condemned by the Commission, by
reductions only, would result in disas-
ter to the carriers. This fact is rec¬
ognized by the Commission, which, in
its review of the situation, stated:
“ ‘It is entirely clear that the reve¬
nues of a large percentage of the lines
in tiie Southeastern territory would be
so impaired by such a procedure as to
make it impossible for them to meet
their operating expenses, taxes
fixed charges and leave their stock¬
holders even a moderate return.’
“It is equally obvious that it would
be unfair to punish the carriers, in con¬
forming to a changed public policy, for
acts which at the time of commission
were approved by public opinion.
“Hence in working out the Order of
the Commission such elevation of rates
to the depressed points must accompa¬
ny reductions to the much larger num¬
ber of intermediate points as will at
least preserve the revenues of the
carriers,
“The task of revision is no easy
one. It lias been undertaken in loyal
effort to conform to the law, as now
interpreted, and to be fair to all.
“Departures from the lofig and
short haul principle in the South are
not confined to interstate traffic. There"
are in the South a great many intra¬
state rates that do not conform to
the principle. If undue discriminations
are to be avoided, these intrastate
rates must be brought into harmony
with the revised interstate adjustment
being made under the direction of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. It
i3 the purpose of the railways of the
South to take up each intrastate revis¬
ion with the Several State Railroad
Commissions.”
