METHOD OF MAKING JOINT RATES

~ v. e.
Austin, Texas. January 1o.--Pursuant to
notice issued January is. 1897. the railroad
commission, in open meeting, this morn
ing took IN and considered the matter OF
making tarin of rates to be established
for the TRANSFORMATION OF freight BY ex
press.
The following rates were proposed by
the commission: M
Columns headed No. / contain rates
to apply on shipments of articles rated as
'iMdse. in current express classification.
Columns headed No. . contain rates to
apply on shipments Of articles rated as
general specials" in current express clas-
sification, except articles to be made sub
1ect TO the rates provided In columns Nos.
and Of tho table below. s
Columns headed No. 3 contain rates TO
apply on shipments OF fruit
Columns headed No. 1 contain rates to
amply on shipments of vegetables and mel
The Houston daily post. [volume] (Houston, Tex.) 1886-1903, 1898-01-11

the lawful relation OF such rates to charges
from New Orleans TO Atlanta, Fairbury,
Palmetto, Newman and Hogansville,
The commissions decides that the rates
from New orleans to LAGRANGE are un-
reasonable In themselves and relatively as
compared with the rates 10 Atlanta and
the other places mentioned,
The rates from New Orleans are higher
for the shorter distance to LaGrange than
for the longer distance over the same line
TO Hosansville, Newman. Palmetto and
Fairbury, all local points on tho Atlanta
and West Point road aud such higher
rates are also held to be III violation of
the long and shortahaui clause. The rates
from New Orleans to LaGrange are made
BY combining the through rate to Atlanta
with the local rate back from Atlanta to

agents stationed at Houston yesterday.
The Houston daily post. [volume] (Houston, Tex.) 1886-1903, 1898-01-11

In addition TO the above. which was ac-
| cepted by the express companies. a plan
fer making Joint rates To apply en- ship
inents over two or more express lines was
proposed.
Mr.. Lovett. representing the express
companies. said that while he doubted the
commissions authority to make Joint rates
for the TRANSPORTATION of express matter.
he would agree to Joint rate of 10 per
cent less than the sum of the locals where
freight is banded by two or more express
companies.
An amended scale OF estimated weights
arrived at by conference between the ex-
press representatives and a number of
fruit and vegetable shippers was discussed
and agreed to and an application for its
adoption was filed by the express COM
panies.
The question of rates between Two given
points reached by two or more express
companies was raised and the commits
sioneIs stated that the short line mileage
must govern in figuring the rate for the
transportation Of express freight al is the
case with railroad freight.
Presidsnt Valentine of the Wei's-Iargo
explained to the commission its methods
of transportation, and said that that char
acter of business had been attended by
so many losses from robberies thar he had
grown apathetic with regard to 1t. The
insurance companies have become compel
itors in that line to such a degree. fuiihcr-
more, that there is no longer arv profit
in it. The Federal government also has
taken hand In 1t, at loss. and while
1t was compelled to make no the shortage
oocasioned in departmental expenses on
that account by taking 1t out Of me tax
payer, it unfairly undertook to excuse itself
on the ground of cheap service. while as
a matter of fact II VAS simply entering
into disastrous competition with legitimate
enterprise.
Judge Reagan remarked that the sovern-
ment's mixing into the money transporta-
ton business was the result Of demagogy
and that IL the principle on which said
mixing was undertaken was followed up
some one would next be attempting TO en-
graft upon the statutes 4 provision for
the picking of cotton by Federal employees.

INDUCED in. the meeting adjourned. q mu-

A prominent railroad official is quoted as
follows concerning the affairs OF the Cen
trail Pacific: 1t would be no great surprise
to me II the same syndicate that purchased
the Union Pacific should be found bidding
at the sale OF the Central Pacific There
is an enormous amount OF English and
Dutch capital represented IN the syndicate
that has purchased the Union Pacific. and
ii could afford to bid high FOR n strip OF

pIeting the greatest traIecontinental rail

ton says that he win bid high naainst the
government when the foreclosure sales
come along, but think that statement was
pretty much of bluff. The snuthcrn Pa
c;fjc, is not the owner OF the Ce1iral Pa

To be sure the loss OF the Central Pae'hc
