Hundreds of Other Towns, Not Shown, Near and Adjacent
m " -
' to These, Have Been Similarly Benefited
The hearing in progress before the Railroad Commission of Georgia, which began on August 17th, seeks as one of its ob
jects to readjust and equalize the freight rates on shipments between the cities and towns wholly within Georgia, by removing
discriminations, so that freight fates to and from towns in Georgia, similarly situgted, will be the same, and no city can ship
at a tess rate than any other town to points equally distant and similarly situated. ;s
Unless this readjustment is effected much of the improved condition possible by reason of the rcad]ustmcnt__ of interstate
freight rates, ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and effective in Georgia since Jaunary Itst, 1916, will be lest
to Georgia shippers.
The interstate readjustment has tremendously improved the rate condition of approximately two thousand towns in
Georgia. They were formerly at a disadvantage as compared with their neighboring so-called basing point cities, on ship
ments into Georgia, or on what is commonly known as “inbound freight.”
The proposed Georgia, or intrastate readjustment, seeks to equalize, as far as possible, the freight rates between Gaor
gla points equally distant and similarly situated.
The detailed and striking improvement shown by reason of the reduced interstate freight rates, already in effect in the
competitive relations with respect to Madison, Bremen, Richland and Ocilla as representative Georgia points already publish
ed, has excited such general interest that additional and widely separated points showing the benefits from the recent interstate
readjustments are given below. In order to get the full measure of these interstate readjustments, it is necessary to revise the
rates within the State, so asto remove all intrastate discriminations.
Approximate adjustments are afforded adjacent cities and towns not shown here. Hundreds of similar illustrations can be
LY
TAKE MONROE, GA., FOR INSTANCE
Monroe merchants compete in the same general territory with Athens and Atlanta. Under the old adjustment, rates from New
York and the east averaged 26 per cent higher than to Athens and Atlanta. Under the present adjustment, they are the same.
Therefore Monroe’s improved competitive relation with. Atlanta and Athens as compared with her former freight rates from New
York and the 22st is now 32 cents per hundred pounds on clothing, boots and shoes, dry goods, drugs, notions, cigars, smoking tobacco, etc,,
all of which articles take first-class rating, and from Loulsville and the west, is 22 cents per hundred pounds better off; 25 cents per hun
dred pounds better off on hardware, cutlery, glassware, harness, etc., from New York and the east, and 20 cents per hundred pounds
better off on shipments from Louisville, all of which articles take second-class rating; 22 cents per hundred pounds better off on ag
ricultural implements, machinery, L. C. L., confectionary, etc., from New York, and 18 cents better off on these shipments from Louis
ville andethe west, all of which articles take third-class rating; 20 cents per hundred pounds better off on bakery gonods. crackers, cotton
goods, sheeting. shirting, etc., from New York, and 17 cents better off from Louisville and the west, with respect to Athens, and 14
cents better off with respect to Atlanta, all of which articles take fourth-class rating; 17 cents better off on coffee, paper, L. C. L., bur
lap bags, etc, from New York, and 13 cents better off from Loutsville, all of which articles take fifth-class ~ating; 13 cents better off on
wagons, machinery, agricultural implements, C. L., household goods, C. L., etc, from New York. and 9 cents better off from Louis
ville and the west, all of which articles take sixth-class rating; 11 cents better off on roofing and wrapping paper, C. L., . bagging, ties,
etc., from New York; 11 cents better off from Louisville With respect to Athens, and 9 cents with respect to Atlanta, all of which ar
ticles take Class A rating: 11 cents better off on cured meats, lard and lard compounds from New York, and 8 cents from Louisville,
all of which articles take Class B rating; 4 cents better off on grain and grain products, any quantity, hay, C. L., etc., fsom New
York, and 4 1-2 cents from Louisville and the west, which articles take Class D rating.
In the following instances, only the classes are given, but the commodities these classes embrace are easily ascertained from
the foregoing example: -
‘Winder competes in the same territory with Athens and Atlanta. Pre
viously, the rates from New York and the East to Winder averaged 5
per cent higher than to Atlanta and Athens, and from Louisville and the
West 19 per cent higher than te Atlanta and 14 per cent higher than to
Athens. Under the readjustment rates from New York and the Kast to
Winder are. the Same as to Athens and Atlanta, and from the West an av
' erage of only 4 per cent higher than to Atlanta and the same as to Athens.
Winder's improved relation is as follows: :

than to Atlanta and Rome, are the same as to Cedartown and in no case
higher and in some instances lower than to Anniston. From ILouisville,
répresenting the West, the old rates to Villa Rica averaged 36 per cent
higher than to Atlanta, Cedartown, Rome or Anniston, whereas the pres
