Corporation Commission
After Express Companies

Guthrie, Okla, June 1.-THE cor
poration commission has issued order
No. 2o8. promulgating rates on ey,
press shipments between points in the
state of Oklahoma
This is by far the most important
order yet issued by the comm sion
as il deals with the entire scheme Of
rates of the express companies In OK.
lahoma, and this order has received
the attention of the commission for
the past seven months. Four differ
ent hearings were held to which the
express companies sent their expert
rate men, accountants and attorneys
from New York, and the mass of evil
dence that was introduced at these
trials would require a larger book
than the average law book.
AS an evidence Of the unjust rates
that have prevailed In Oklahoma IN
the past, It need only be pointed out
what is known as merchandise rates
which covers the majority of ship
ments that are forwarded ON the
lines of the Pacific Express company,
operating over the Missouri Pacific
railway, the rate per 100 pounds for
distances. Is to 100 miles was rs
eents-oyer the United States ana
Wells-Fargo, which operates over the
Santa Fe, Rock Island and Frisco the
rate was S1.00, and the American lex.
press company. which operates over
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway
the rate varied from 30 cents to SIPS.
The commissions order promulgates
rate for distances over 60 and not
over so miles, so cents; over so and
not over 100, 20 cents.
Equal reductions have been made IN
rates covering fruits and vegetables.
ice and similar commodities.
10 give an idea as 10 the immense
profits made by the express companies
