INJURIOUS TO THE SOUTH,

The letter addressed by the "Mer-
chants Association, of New York, to
the North Carolina Corporation Com
mission against the application to
raise rates in this State, is well worth
reading. Among other data, it con-
tains the following:
ut is fact so well known as to
challenge contradiction that the scale
of freight rates eXacted in your ter
ritory is, as compared with rates in
other territory exorbitant."
''The difference between those gov
erning elsewhere is shown by these
figures by classes:
''New York to Atlanta, 874 miles,
first class, ia; second, 98; third, Sc;
fourth, 73; fifth, 60; sixth, 40.
New York to Chicago, 913 miles,
first class, rs; second, IS; third, so;
fourth, So; fifth, 80; sixth, 25.
The above are rates for each class
per 100 pounds. 1t will be seen that
though Chicago is 80 miles further
from New York than Atlanta, the rates
to that southern town are 1-3 to ~
higher.
There is no excuse for this. This
discrimination is ruinous to the South.
