FREIGHT RATES TOO HIGH
Business Men Protest Against Recent
 Advances in imperial Valley

The Imperial Valley Business Mems Protective Association believes that the freight rates that obtain in Im- perial Valley are too high, and that if called to the attention of the proper authorities an adjustment will follow The people of this valley, have from the first had to bear an exceedingly heavy burden in consequence of the unusual rates, and possibly a good many are not aware that since last January they have become even more burdensome Until the date men toned there was in effect what is called mid terminal rate on shipments originating at eastern points This rate, while greater than the rate to Los Angeles or other coast terminals. was considerably less than the terminal freight plus the freight from terminal to this valley, approx imately 20 cents to 90 cents per 100 -posinds less. To Illustrate, ship ment of first class merchandise orig iu~,i0g in Chicago or other Missouri
 u' common point takes a rate of s5.OO per 100 pounds to the nearest coast terninal-Los Angeles. and a local rate from Los Angeles to Im- perial Valley Of $1.22 per 100 pounds making a total Of s422 per 100 pounds The charges on same sort of shipment according 10 Mid Terminal rate were $3.7O to Imperial Junction and local freight from Imperial Junction to des- tination.
 In January this mid terminal rate was withdrawn, which means that this valley must pay to the rail sroad company thousands of dollars ad- ditiQnal revenue yearly.
 The Business Mems Protective As sociation has taken up the matter and win strive to have this action recon sidered.
 ln January the minimum weights for carload shipments of merchandise were increased. They were already as high as was reasonable More often than
