The articles which move under class rates. and which therefore will be sub ject to these increases, are: clothing boots and shoes. and all wearing ap parel: canned goods and flour in less than car loads: all groceries other than canned goods and fruits and veg etables That is. these articles go in one or the other of the various classes scheduled above.
 Specifically. canned goods shipped from Phoenix to Kelvin in less than car lots went under the old rate at 30 cents hundred.

 The Phoenix Kelvin rates, while they may be considered as relatively unimportant at present. are bound to be valuable factor in the business of the future. as it is expected that there will be a population of several thousand people in the Kelvin district within another year or two. The business men of Phoenix will of course. be q unit in insisting that the Kelvin district shall be protected as Phoenix field in any adjustment of the rate situation.
 When asked last night what bearing the injunction suit will have upon the proposed revision of rates that is scheduled for January 2. Chairman Bicknell of the railway commission said he did not know. as he had not heard of the suit. Asked as to what attitude the commission would take relative to the suit. he said If it applies solely to the Phoenix Kelvin rates. the commission. of course. has no objection But il it is proposed to enjoin the railways from putting into effect the rate reductions announced for the territory generally We shall undoubtedly object to the injunction To prevent the new rates from going into effect would mean a yearly loss of at least d million and a half dol lars annually to the territory as a whole. for the reductions amount to fully that much

AN ACTION
 ID ENJO|N. Change in Freight Rates
 Effective Jan. 2 1910
 SCOPE 0F SUIT UNCERTAIN It Is Directed by Commer- cial Club-Aimed Only at Phoenix - Kelvin Rate the Railway Commission Will Raise No Objection
SCOPE OF SUIT UNCERTAIN

The directors of the Commercial club. at a meeting yesterday afternoon. decided to bring an injunction suit in relation to the change in freight rates recently announced. which. in the ab- sence of an injunction. will go into ef- feet January ?. The law firm of Hayes & Coldren was employed to handle the suit. Just what the scope of the suit is to be will not appear, probably. until the complaint is filed. Attorney Coldren last night said he did not care to be quoted on that point until he and Mir. Hayes had gone into the situation. IL was pub lished in the afternoon that the in junction suit was to apply to both the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific lines. against the entire schedules af- fected by the recently announced change. but the report was undoubted- ly incorrect. as the Arizona Railway commission has insisted that the an nounced changes mean reduction which will save at least a million and a half dollars to Arizona shippers an- nually. and it is not supposed that the Commercial club would wish to pre- vent such a wholesale reduction.
 It is understood. in fact, that the projected suit is mainly intended to cover the rates to the Kelvin district from Phoenix. The changes an nounced by the railways for January mean in the one instance of Phoenix Kelvin rates an increase. To prevent this proposed increase is at least one of the objects of the suit The in creases apply only to class rates. and just what the changes are in the rates from Phoenix to Kelvin will appear from the following table:

One way to provide new food is ia

of corn saved is an apple or grain Of

ducts of the earth an incessant war is
waged by hostile insects and plants.
Some of these pests are animal-fies,
mites, caterpillars, etc.-others, like trusts,
mildew, hunt, smut and mold are low
forms of plant life. But whatever their
nature, origin or method of work, the
total destruction wrought by these pests
amounts in the United States to no less
than seven hundred million dollars anna

Now seven hundred million dollars may
not be large sum, though III compares
rneasurably with our total annual ma

times all the interest annually paid on
all mortgages on all the twenty billion
dollars worth of farms in the United
States But, ii we could save these hum
dred million dollars, we should increase

a fifth, and we could easily increase the
population fed by some ten or twenty
millions.
