ENFORCING THE LONG AND SHORT HAUL CLAUSE LOCAL POINTS TO BENEFIT I Will Ask State Comniission To Ap prove Similar Revision In Intrastate Kates Atlanta, Ga. —The recent order of the Interstate Commerce Commia.doi j enforcing the Long and Short Hau!

Kenly of the Atlantic ' Coast Line, W. A. Win burn of the . Central of Georgia, M. H. Sni.,ll of I the Ixmisvllle and Nashville, W. J i Harahan ot the Seaboard Air Line, and Fairfax Harrison of the Southern, in a statement, addressed "Tu-The i’eo ' pie Served by the Railroads ot the I South,” which has just been issued. Since the order ot the Commission I was handed down, a committee of tral i lie officers has been at wot k prepar | ing tariffs which will put into et: : j .ul provisions. Obviously, pre-,i.-.e fi.. nWs to ad points may not bo m. | I nounccd pending a completion ot the i work ot revision. It Is understood tha | ' where long and short haul disc, ml- I l nations now exist, many rates will b, | , reduced and some of them advanced i and that an important efiect of ti ■ ■ | revision in Georgia will be to give j i a large number of local points mon I , favorable rates as compared with the i rates enjoyed by the distributing cen- ■ I For the local points to got the full | benefit ot the principles tinder which I i the interstate rates will be readjust , < (i, that is to say. the reducing or elint- . tion of the differences between the | rates at the local points as v mpared with the rates at the so-called com mon points, which are in the main the large cities, ft will be n • ,ry | for a revision, fallowing the principle- I of the intersta’e adjustment, to be | I i iade in the int' astate rates, and ape- j tition to this efiect is to be mailt i, } 1 I Commission.

The carriers were tree to meet comnt tition as they found it and were required to answer I only upon complaint as to the reason ableness of their acts. ■ “The amendment of 1910 deprived , the carriers of the right to initiate I departures from the long and short i haul requirement, and they may no ’anger meet competition as they find it long and short haul requirement | <-f t! < : ■ Is involved, unless they can : -t obtain the approval of the Inter ' state Commerce, Commission.

It is an ipii.-ritauce from those who built Like roads, and finds its explanation I ■■. y In Hi ■ geography of the South, and in a public policy which encour ‘ aged its creation. The changes now in ! ress are not ot the carriers’ choice. "Water competition, the most im : portant factor in bringing about de i i .rtan from the long and short haul | p. of the law, has been peculiar , ly influential on the rate adjustments I of the South, surrounded as it is oa ' :hreo tdes by navigable water and ! , tr ■1 by navigable streams. Ter- i mini of th .' first roads were on navi ible waters and rates between those ; i-rmlni were from the beginning de d b< tus'e ot this water cotnpe ; When, subsequently, railways I . :<• extei.-led to the Interic ..;.b points were thereby t: rated, j where there arose competition of two ■ .1- markets, or ot two or more • u.ieis. i-suiting in depressions in n . n there was no direct water competition. , , conditions undoubtedly con. 1 •■•! to the commercial and Indus-' c .pt., nt ot the interior. . li. a. '.idle they resulted in • fr- ui-:.t departures from the . • 1 hort haul principle of the .■ » the carriers had every reason to ve that their practice had the I approval of tlie public, even when it iicf directly the result ot public ! demand. the Interstate Commerce . in: : >n, pursuant to the require. • of an amended law, has conclud- i an < .niiry into rates from the East- I , aboard, including the Virginia I’i;;. -. from South Atlantic and Gult i i :-. and from Ohio and Mississippi | i Ivor (r . rs. into the Southeast and ! iopi Valley territory. As a re -.lit the Commission has in large meas •■mdemued existing departures ! : im the long and short haul requlre- I rexcept where justified by com ' ; tj n beyond the control of the rail I urie: -, a plxntse which came to be re i •: to n.' n direct or indirect Must Raise Some Rates "Ol vfciidy, the removal of inequali- : . coi.di-mi.ed by the Commission, by ductions only, would result in disas ' '..T to tne carriers. This fact is rec- ■ . d by tlie ( . nimission, which, in i i s review of the situation, stated: " It is entile y clear that the reve |ru s ( .r a in-percentage of the lines I i the S.iu.i: astern territory would be I >in a red by such a procedure as to i it ii .- i: e for them to meet •ir i . a expenses, taxes and ( l :x< 1 < : -!rge. and leave their stock holders even a modera e return.’ ’ i' i.- equ. Ly obvious that it would j I ' “ ur.fnir to punish the carriers, in con-1 ' . '" to a changed public policy, for: V .t the time of commission e approved by public opinion. • Hence in working out the Order of the Commission such elevation of rates to the depressed points must accompa ry reductions to the much larger num- '• of intermediate points as will at Last preserve the revenues of the carriers. “The task of revision is no easy ne. It has been undertaken in loyal ■Sort to cenform to the Jaw, as now interpreted, and to be fair to all. “Departures from the long and -hort haul principle in the South are not confined to interstate traffic. There are in the South a great many intra t.ite rat s t ! at do. not conform to the principle. If unduh discriminations are to be avoided, these intrastate ates must be brought into harmony i wi.h the revised interstate adjustment : eii.g made under the direction of the I interstate Commerce Commission. It is the purpose of the railways of the South to take up each intrastate revis ion with the Several State Railroad Commissions.”
