SOMEONE Is CUTTING RATES
Fifty-Five Dollar Rate From Chicago &c
California Advertised.

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 19.-,An agricultural
paper interested in California COLOMBIA
ton is advertising s55 rate from Chi
cago to California This is $3.50 less
than the authorized rate. The name of
the road over which the rate is applica-
bic is not stated. Nevertheless, the
advertisement caused something of A
sensation and aroused no end of suspic-
ion that some of the roads are not living
up to their obligations. Such a sus-
picion as this has always a tendency
TO demoralize rates and is likely to have
in the present case.
Western roads will not allow their
eastern connections TO sell tickets to
Colorado points via the Missouri river
gateways at short time rates after
March l.
Their reasons are that these circuitous
road tickets are used to scalp rates To-
cally from the Missouri river to Colo
RADIO common points. After the date
named rates from Texas to Colorado
common points must be made up of the
sum of locals from Texas points To the
Missouri river gateways and from the
river gatev-cys - nations.
TranS-Missouri roads have reached an
agreement to use only continuous trip
tickets over their lines. No stop-overs
will hereafter be granted. The Trans
Missouri lines want their connections
east of the river TO join them in this
movement. They are now taking a
vote on the subject.
