OLD TARIFFS RELOCATED
Georgia Railroad Commission Shows
how Its Ancient DEGREES Have
Been Ignnrcd.

Been Ignored.
Some interesting figures have been
prepared by Hon. Joseph NJ Brown,
Oh tne Georgia railroad commission,
going to show that the standard tariff
which was fixed by the commission
some twenty-five years ago, is really
not now effective because the ra!r
roads themselves have cut and slash.
ed it to suit the occasion and their
purposes.
commissioner Brown takes, for o4
ample, series of important rates,
those which have figured largely in
the rate contest now going on before
the commission i'll behalf of Atlanta
and other points in the state
For instance, the standard tariff
fixed by the commission between Sa.
vannah and Atlanta is as follows:
Glass 1, 81; class ?, 81 cents; class 5,
| I3 cents; class 4, GO cents class :,
rs cents; class G, II cents. But these
are not by any means the rates in
existence from Savannah to Atlanta,
the railroads having made a schedule
Of their own, which is as follows: Glass
|, GO cents; class >, 60 cents; class
3, 81 cents; class 4, 80 cents; class 5,
80 cents; class 6, 33 cents. 1t will
be seen thct these rates are from %
ot 40 per cent below those fixed by
tho commission
In the reverse direction CroH Allan
Ia to Savannah the discrepancy IS
even greater. III other words, Atlanta
can ship to Savannah cheaper than
she can get goods shipped from that
city. The standard tariff made bY
the commission is the Same in both
directions, but the difference is made
by the railroads. The standard tariff
| on the first six classes from Atlanta
to Savannah is the same as that Civ.
en- above from Savannah to Atlanta
But here are the rates charged by The
railroads from Atlanta to Savannah
Class 1, 61 cents; class 2, 81 cents
class 3, so cents; class A, 4G cents
class S, 80 cents; class G, 80 cents.
Many other examples might be Civ,
en-. The commissions tariff between
Savannah and Rome is on class !
$l.lO; the rate charged by the rail,
roads is "a cents. The commissions
rate between Savannah and Athens
is 81; the railroads charge 60 GEMS.
The commissions tariff from Savan-
nah to Columbus is 9G cents on class
l. the railroads charge 60 cents. FROM
savannah to Macon the commissions
tariff is IS cents on frst-class; the
railroads charge Ga cents.
Discrepancies OF this kind might
be multiplied ad ininitum, but they
are sufficient to show that the ra!l-

He had hoped as boy to enter the mill

which occurred before he reached his ma

hunting was the main reason for his desire
to go to India, where bigger game was to
