How Rates Concern California

An illustration of the concern Cali
fornia has in any legislation that may
confer the power upon the Interstate
Commerce Commissioners to make rail
road rates, was supplied by William
Sproule in an address recently deliv-
cred in San Francisco before the Com.
monwealth Club of California. Mr..
Sproule said:
"An example just decided by the
Commission is to the point. The rate
on corn from Kansas to California is
So cents per hundred pounds. The rate
on corn meal and kindred corn products
65 cents per hundred pounds. Califor-
nia does not produce corn in commercial
quantity, but corn is necessary to the
California miller in the operation of his
mills. The California miller under this
rate adjustment can get corn from Kan
sas and mill it in California. The car
riers' adjustment of the rate is bal
anced so as to move corn products from
the K ,nsas mills to California dealers
while at the same time corn moves

from Kansas fields to California mills.
The Kansas millers brought suit on
the ground that the differential Of 10
cents was excessive. They were melted
to this by the fact that they had secured
a 3 cent differential on corn meal from
Kansas to Texas. The Commission,
after hearing the case, decided that the
rate on corn meal from Kansas to Cali
fornia should be but cents higher than
on corn. The leading millers inform
me that this will have the effect Of
transferring the milling Of corn from
California to Kansas, will rob Califo-
MIA Of her industry and the carriers of
valuable transportation. The value Of
the transportation lies in this: that
100 pounds of corn will make but &C
pounds Of corn meal, hence il the rail.
roads carry the corn they carry so per
cent greater tonnage than by carrying
only the meal, or to put it in dollars, -
If from Kansas to San Francisco the
railroad carries 1000 tons of corn meal
it will, under the Commissioners rul-
ing, get for that transportation $l2,
600. 90, but il that 1000 tons of corn
meal is ground in California the rail.
roads will carry l,500 tons of corn and
will earn therefrom SIG, 10000.
There will be no difference of opin.
ion between railroad officers as to which
it is better for the railroad to do fol
its own earnings, to carry the Loo
tons of corn meal AID earn $l2, ZOO. 90,
or carry the l,500 tons of corn and
earn $l6.500.00. Yet if the railroads
accept the Commissioners decision ant

have suffered in their revenues, the

jealous wives today. Mrs. HubbGll
knows what she Is talking about, or
thinks she does. Her husband, an
electrical engineer, Is in love with
pretty Miss Vesta Hall, aged II, Of
Wilmington, Ohio.
Mrs Hubbell and her husband
talked the matter over Sunday and the
wife decided that she would take her
chance on her husband recovering
from his infatuation rather than get
n divorce.
For n week Miss Hall had been a
guest in the Hubbell home. She told
stories to the Hubbol children, she
helped Mrs. Hubbell cook for the man
they both love, and Mrs Hubbell treat
cd her just as she would any other
guest.

bell took her home and returned to his
work today.

people" said Mrs. Hubbell, but | see

"They aIe both good, pure women, and
their only fault, If such it can be
termed, is that they both love so well
that neither can give me up. My at
tentions to Miss Hall since knew
she loved me so passionately have
been only those any man would pay
to n good girl friend. She simply loves
to be with me and near me-"
