Work Of Florida Railroad Commission
JEFFERSON BROWNE, january 1st

In response to your courteous letter asking me to
advise the public through the medium of your paper
OF some OF the work done by the Florida Railroad
Commission, l submit the following:
In doing this l am not making any defense Of
myself but merely giving to the public in condensed
form the information which they have already had
in our reports published annually. My rule with
regard to all Offices have ever held has been To
perform the duties of them conscientiously and i'm.
partially and to let my acts speak for themselves
without any word of defense from me through the
press.
The more important acts of the Railroad Com.
mssioners since January, l0O3-that is, those of
general characterhave been set forth in our annual
reports, and compilation of these, with those of
purely local character and even brief epitome of
the immense volume of correspondence in relation
to private claims and the unlimited questions which
have been propounded to the Commissioners by peo-
pie in all parts of the State requiring full nvesti
cation, study and determination would require quite
large volume, and overtax the space of any news
paper in Florida, and if those editors who are an
tagonistic to the Commission will not read our re-
ports published each year, and Gull therefrom what
has been done, so that they may correctly inform
their readers there is likelihood of their reading
any detailed account that l may publish.
The fact that certain points which have the
benefit of water transportation, have cheaper rate
than interior cities, has been used by some as
evidence that the Commissioners permit unjust dis
elimination. The courts have with great uniformity
held that rates made by railroads to meet water

vile & Nashville, which was ordered by the Com.
missioners to operate Scent rate, but the Federal
Court at once nterposed its injunction and prevented
this reduction.
It may be claimed that the reduction by the Flor
ida East Coast Railway and the Seaboard Air Line
Railway was voluntary, but it loses its voluntary"
aspect when it is recalled that before they made this
reduction two Commissioners had been nominated,
pledged to Scent passenger rate for the main trunk
lines, and as the hold.over Commissioner was known
to be in favor of it also it foregone conclusion
what the action of the Commissioners would be.
Eghty,nine orders have been issued by the Com.
missioners since February, 1908, some of general
and some of local character. The latter i'm.
portant to the people for whose relief they in
tended as those of general character, and among
them may be mentioned the erection and enlargement
of freight and passenger stations, and establishing
agencies where existed before. In each of these
instances land there nearly score of them) 1t
was alleged that from 500 to 1000 persons in the
localities where the improvements were ordered,
would be accommodated,
Editors and others who live in cities and enjoy
conveniences which people in the country do not may
not appreciate the great service that has been done
to the people in the isolated localities where the
ditons haze been improved, above stated, but the
people of these localities know.
To show the broad scope of subjects included
within the orders of the Commission, give below
few, taken ut random from our order book.

competition are not "unjusty discriminating" Con,
sequently the Railroad Commission cannot prevent
it under the power conferred upon them by the law
to prevent unjust discrimination" The cheaper
rates which Jacksonville enjoys from points outside
of Florida is also the result of water competition;
but even if it were not, this Commission would be
poweress to prevent it, as they interstate rates.
which we have no control.
After the reorganization of the Commission in
January, 1909 we addressed ourselves to the sub
ject of adopting more reasonable freight tariff for
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and the Seaboard
Air Line Railway, with the result that new freight
tariff for these roads adopted, which reduced all
class rates very materially.
I give below extracts from this freight tariff,
which went into effect July 1908 from which your
readers can form some idea of what reductions were
made. 1t would be impracticable to publish this

material, etc. 1t was contended by the railroads at
the time it proposed to put this rate into effect
that it made very material reduction in their
enues, but that they would try to operate it If no
further material reductions were made.
On April /, A. d. 1905, the Commissioners upon
application of the sawmill men, after hearing of
all interests, ordered reduction in class rates,
but the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, the Seaboard
Air Line Railway, the Louisville & Nashville Rail
road and the Georgia Southern Florida Railroad
ut once applied for and obtained from the United
States District Court for the Northern District of
Florida an injunction restraining the Commissioners
from putting the reduction into effect, UPON THE
GROUND THAT THEIR REVENUE COULD
STAND NO FURTHER REDUCTIONS

This reduction was made on all classes except X,
