TRANSPORTATION RATES.


Washington, Jan. S. Prof. William
c. Ripley, of Boston. testified yesser-
day before the industrial commission
upon the subject OF general transport
tatioh. He claimed that rate cutting
and freight determinations are very
prevalent at present, especially in the
New England states. lie said it was
of the utmost importance to manu-
facturers to have uniform sysirl1 of
rates. In his opinion the corporation
laws of the states are too lax. lie
said that If the powers of the inter
state commerce commission were III
creased so as to enable it to regulate
the corporation laws uniformly, as in
Massachusetts, it would have more
power over the condition of rates
and many existing abuses would be
mitigated.
