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 rates in Georgia v'hich the
railroads have proposed and the gene
ral effects of the revision, the fol
lowing statement, addressed “To the
People Served by the Railroads 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; ,1. B. Munson, vice president
of the Georgia Southern and Florida;
C. R. Capps, first vice president of
the Seaboard Air, Line, and J. M.
Culp, vice president of the Southern
Railway:
“Beginning on dune 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 of the more
or less drastic nature of the propos
ed revision. They also thoroughly
realize that their prosperity depends
upon the prosperity of the communi
ties they serve. They ask the sup
port of these communities in the ef
fort to bring about this apparently
necessary change with fair regard
for ail the interests involved.
“Since the beginning of railway
operation in the south there has ex
isted in that section what is known
as the “Basing Point System,” under
which rates to certain points called
‘‘Basing Points’’ are lower than to
other points less distant, even though
the !°ss distant points are interme
diate on the same route. To illus
trate, Atlanta and Cordele are “Basing
Points.’’ The rates from Atlanta to
Cordele are lower than rates from At
lanta to points between Macon and
Cordele through which passes traffic
from Atlanta to Cordele.
“Even when the long and short
haul principle is not involved,
charges are frequently less for a like
distance from basing points to local
stations and betw’een local stations
than between the basing points them
selves.
Only 60 Basing Points.
“With approximately 2,000 railroad
stations within the state, only 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 been
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 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 pel it ion which the carriers
have presented to the Georgia Com
mission, copies of which will he
furnished on request, represents the
views of the railways with respect
to a fair substitute for the existing
systein 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
“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 not make the
rates to all the 2,000 stations in
Georgia on the basis of the present
low rates to the 60 “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
THE BARTOW TRIBUNE, MAY 4, 1916.
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;
and
(b) Because of our conviction
that, due to the increase in number
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 rates 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 thn
the rates on the same articles in Ihe
territory of exceptional traffic density
north of the Ohio and Potomac Riv
ers served by the Pennsylvania Rail
road, Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and
other 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. tn 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, such as
brick, clay, sand, marble, granite or
stone, fire-proof tiling, etc., in lieu of
the present separate Georgia Classi
fication.
Uniform Classification.
“The carriers, through a special
Committee krown as the Uniform
Classification Committee, whose en
tire time is devoted to classification
work, have since 1908 been actively
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 the National Association of State
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 ratings in Geor
gia on articles not 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 ratings 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 many 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
tends to distort the facts, it is not
improbable that other erroneous
statements will be published, due to
lack of proper information. We,
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 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. Davis,
general freight agent, Atlantic ( oast
Line Railroad; N. B. Wright, general
freight agent. Central of Georgia
Railway; J. M. Cutler, general freight
agent. Georgia Southern & Florida
Railway-. G. S. Rains, general freight
agent. Seaboard Air Line; handai!
Clifton, assistant freight traffic
manager, Southern Railway.
This committee or any member of
it will be glad to promptly reply to
requests for information from any
Georgia business man.

A | BEAUTIFUL old story retold; an old song made to live
again in new loveliness, with anew appeal, by the blended
strains of the ’cello, piano and violin.
Ncvin’s “Rosary” will always live and be loved. A beautiful
fabric it is, woven of fact and fancy —warp and woof a poignant
grief and a melancholy resignation. Delicately these instruments
trace the pattern, and spread the tapestry again before you a
rendition that will “still a heart in absence wrung.
With remarkable fidelity the recording portrays
the thrilling manly appeal ct the ’cello and the
sweet feminine response of the violin—melody
and accompaniment beautifully balanced, and de
livered with a restraint and dignity that proclaim
the Revillon Trio a company cf sincere artiste.
With exquisite charm there is given upon the
reverse of the same disc, Marshall’s plaintive
melody, “/ liter Ton Calling lie” —here a “song
without words,” another story of darkened ro
mance surcharged with deep emotion.
Again we have a delicate harmonization by
the same skillful grouping of instruments —piano,
*cello and violin—an arrangement that has never
before been used in recording either song. No
matter how many times you may have heard these
ballads of bygone happiness, you will want to hear
them again in the exquisite new rendition—Colum
bia Record No. Alßls.
Among the most appealing Columbia successes
are these numbers in trio form. The voluminous
Columbia Record catalog lists a host of them.
