WESTERN PASSENGER AssocIA-
TioN SAYS COMMISSIONS
PLAN is PUZZLE
Tariff Publication Required by the
Board Entails Listing Of Branch and

Systems.

Chicago, jan 4.-The Western Pas
senger association yesterday consider
ed tentative plan presented by the
interstate commerce commission to
compile passenger tariffs that unifor-

tanned.
The cc1nmission will be in Chicago
January 8 to hear opinions OF passen-
ger officials before ordering them to
adhere strictly to form of tariff pre-
scribed by the commission.
It quickly became apparent at the
special meeting yesterday that the
form of tariff proposed by the commits
sion is anything but satisfactory to
the railroads. Every passenger official
present condemned the propo3ed form
as being impracticable, cumbersome
and unintelligible. 1t provided, in the
first place, that, commencing with the
chief terminal of railroad rates
should be shown to points on the main
line as lar as the first branch line, and
that the rates on that branch line and
any extensions of 1t should be listed
In the tariff before returning to points
on the main line beyond the first juno
ton point.
junction Line Rates First.
To follow that plan on the Rock Is.
land, Burlington, or st. Paul system
would result in tariff showing rates
on about 100 miles Of the main line
and then to all points on several thous
and miles of branch lines before rate
could be found to the first point be
yond the first junction.
Passenger officials found scores Of
other technical objections to the form
of tariff. They drafted form they
think will be practical and simple. YET

sion for form which can be used by
all roads
Freight officials anticipate great

Freight tariffs in the past have beer

One reason why freight tariffs pre-
sent q greater problem for the inter
state commerce commission is thai
they are changed much more frequent
lily than passenger. tariffs. AS a rule
changes in freight rates are general
while in passenger rates they are In
dividual. To print a general freight
tariff costs railroad thousands o

them 10 make at least twelve amend
