fict The Corporation Commission of
that State has handed down an opinion regarding
the freight and passenger rates of the roads oper
ating in the old dominion For all the trunk lines
a maximum passenger charge of two cents mile
is allowed On the branches of the trunk lines,
and on the independent and small roads maxi
mum charge Of two and one-half cents mile is
permitted No fare is to be less than ten cents.
On the freight matter the question of classified
ton was regarded as of more importance than
direct reduction in charges, and reduction is
made by classification. The railroad companies
are to appeal from the decision Of the commits
sion and long contest in the courts is expected
Lower and fixed passenger charges will prob
ably hit harder the railroads in the Southern
States than elsewhere. There is much less traffic
in the South than there is in the more thickly
populated States of the North. 1t is urged in
Virginia that the companies experiment with the
rate made by the commission before they attempt
to upset it. In the Western States where the
two-cent charge is in force there has been large
increase in business more trains are being put
into service and the new charges arc not likely
to work hardship.
The actual result Of government interference
in the operation OF the railroad companies will be
watched with interest by residents of Delaware.
Here we have no railway commission; the COM
pany practically can fix whatever charges it sees
fit; it can alter its methods of transporting fruit
and thereby work hardship on the growers, as
