RATE LAW IN EFFECT
NOT A ROAD ABLE TO COMPLY
WITH REQUIREMENTS.
THEY WILL Be GIVEN TIME
Provisions Require Roads to Include
All Charges In Their
Quoted Rates.

New York. The new rail-
road rate law, which applies to all
railroads doing an interstate business,
went into erect at midnight Monday.
1t will be enforced by the interstate
commerce commission. According to
the new law the roads were to have
filed with the commission by mid
night all their tariffs and charges,
showing not only the full cost of trans
portation from point to point, but also
what items go to the making up Of
this cost.
From now on there can be no lex
tras," but the shipper is expected to
be able to obtain in advance a final
statement of the charge he has to
meet.
Not a Company Able to Comply.
1t vas stated that not a single COM
pany has been able to comply fully
with the provisions of the law requir-
ing them to have all their schedules
on file by midnight. The schedule of
switching charges was the most diff
ficult of completion, and it is said that
no road has been able to finish it in
time to file as the law directed.
Will Be Given Time.
Under the law every company which
fails to complete its schedules might
be fined, but it is understood that the
interstate commerce commission will
give additional time in every case
when a road has given evidence of
sincere intent to comply with the law.
To discuss this and other points, a
committee representing the big east.
ern railroads will go to Washington in
order to meet the commission. This
conference will be attended by repre-.
sentatives of the anthracite coal roads
who are anxious to obtain a ruling
from the commission on that section
of the law which prohibits a railroa1
from carrying from state to state any
article manu- actured, mind or pro
duced by it except for it's own use
This would include coal.
Shippers Benefited.
1t is expected that shippers will find
themselves benefited by the provisioy
which requires that railroads tc in,
clude all charges of whatsoever ma
ture in their quoted rates. Hereto
fore a shipper has had to figure fol
himself on icing, refrigerator and Gle
vator charges, and the dozen or more
incidentals, dickering with the sep
arate companies which had q hand in
the transportation or care of his ship
ment. Now, the railroad must do that
and the shipper meets but M charge
and deals with2 but one concern. Al
the sources of side charges are con
%solidated, and private cars, side
tracks, spurs, terminals, elevators are
made subject to the law.
An Important Requirement.
The new law also requires thu rail
roads to establish a uniform system o.
accounting, and to keep their books
open for inspection at all times by the
expert accountants of the comnlssiun
This feature is expected to go far to
ward abolishing the rebate evil of tie
past. The railroad accountants are
O. comforting in regard to the uni
form system of bookkeeping which
however, will not go into effect unit
June l next year.. In the meantime
the commission has put it's own ex
perts at work devising a system
which will be clear enough to sui
the commission.

1t is quite certain that a consider.
able percentage of every class in life
is living beyond its means in the eff
fort to make a display, keep up ap.
pearance and climb into the next
higher class. This tendency is al,
ways exaggerated by the higher wages
and larger profits in a time of pros
perity and by the hope it holds out of
permanent improvement of condition.
Every country, says the Minneapolis
Tribune, needs the tonic of panic de-
preston now and then to take the con
ceit out of it's people and teach them
modesty, thrift and foresight.
