train of reflection in an entirely different direction. The discussion that has arisen with regard to the proposed rate reduction has drawn forth several statements by promi- nent business men which lead to some very interesting conclusions. The Tucson Citizen interviewed MT. George F. Kit, president of the chamber of commerce in that city, who asserted that "the retailer who buys in less than a carload lots may benefit by the cut in class rates, but the saving to him will not be sufficient to cause any re- duction in the prices of his goods to the consumer"
 "An illustration of this was given in the matter of clothing which ap- plies very practically to other goods. For instance the cut amounts to 37 cents on 100 pounds of clothing, which means from 2 to 4 cents to the suit and would hard i ly allow the merchant to make 
 reduction in the price of the suit to
 the consumer" MT. Kilt is
 dealer in clothing.
 | The Star interviewed Mir. V. Han
 nay, also in the clothing line, and
 he made about the same assertions
 as did MT. Kilt. Now then, taking
 the saving of THE OASIS upon its
 shipment of paper as basis of
 computation what is the freight
 from St. Louis to Tucson on 100
 pounds of clothing if the cut is
 thirty-seven cents? The saving on
 the shipment of paper is about
 fifteen per cent If the cut on 100
 pounds of clothing is the same the
 freight rate from St. Louis to Tue
 is $250 If MT. Kitt's figures are
 correct, and the cut is but four 
 cents (his higher fgure) on suit of clothes, then the entire freight
 from St. Louis to Tucson on suit
 of clothes is but twenty-five cents. Now, then, when an Arizona mer-
 chant charges twenty dollars to twenty-five for such a suit of cloth ing as can be bought in St. Louis for fifteen dollars, or even less, the conclusion is forced that railway charges are not the only factor in : high prices in Arizona.
 , Among those factors are high rates of interest, costly insurance, l heavy taxation, speculative real estate valuations, and exorbitant l rents, all of which have to be paid by the consumers, and enter into 3 the prices charged them.
  Upon the other hand subject to- t similar examination MT. Kits . assertion in the same interview, 3 which is quoted here: However : most of the heavy shipments come s under the carload lots or com Q modity rates, which are not re-
 duced. A reduction of these com e modity rates would probably tend

a year there will be many such shipments from the East to all Arizona communities, and in the aggregate they will amount to many thousand dollars saved to the business interests of those var ious localities.
 Upon local traffic, and to build up those points as jobbing centers, Phoenix and Tucson have been given heretofore a "jobbers rate," under which the rates per one hun dred pounds to all points on the Southern Pacific and its branches were much less from Tucson and Phoenix than they were in the op- poFite direction to those places from the same stations. By virtue of that jobbers rate the two cities named, were given practical monopoly of the jobbing trade in Southern Arizona. Under the new rate they will lose that monopoly. There's where the shoe pinches- there's where the "holler" comes in. They say, and perhaps they say truthfully, that with the great reduction in local class rates El Paso jobbers can come into the territory that has been peculiarly their own, and underseli them. So can Benson jobbers and Nogales jobbers. By operation of that job- bers rate Santa Cruz county has been given a peculiar object lesson. By virtue of the Guaymas water rate and the local rate back on the Sonora railroad commodity rates to Nogales from Kansas City and Chicago are lower than they are from the same points to Tucson Every day carload lots of goods for Tucson are unloaded at Nogales and shipped by wagon to Tucson effecting a saving over the com modity rates to that city from the East. Yet with the handicap of a wagon freight rate hetween Noga.
 les and Tucson, the jobbers rate
 has enabled Tucson jobbers to in
 wade Santa Cruz county and com
 pete with Nogales jobbers. Witt the local class rates applied in botE
 directions alike instead of Tucsor jobbers invading Santa Cruz coun
 ty and selling at Patagonia, Noga
 les iobbers can invade Pima county and sell at Pantano. And if abro
 gation of the jobbers rate iron
 Tucson and reduction in local clas
 rates between El Paso and easterr Cochise county and Graham coun ty will give lower prices on tn necessaries of life will not the COS
 of living be cheapened in that par :, of Arizona? If it will not be cheap ened the reason will be that tn local dealers will absorb the reduc tions made in local class rate r without giving any part thereof | , consumers.
 The concluding sentence in tn
The oasis., 1909-12-11

lots, and all such pay the local rate from the Eastern point of to El Paso, plus the the local rate from Fl Paso to des- tination. It is in the local class rates that the reductions are an- nounced. Those reductions apply between all stations in Arizona, including the branch lines to Globe and to Nogales. For instance the first class rate from Nogales to Benson as shown in the Cochise County Press is seventy-two cents per hundred pounds. Under the reduced rate it will be fftv-six cents-a cut of about twenty-two per cent. Upon the fifth class the reduction will be from ffty-four cents to thirty-two cents,-exceed- ing forty per cent. Carload rates will be reduced from $6.40 per ton to $4.20-exceeding thirty-four per cent. Between Nogales and El Paso the cut on first class freight will be from $l.90 per hundred to .$1 .4S-if the same per centage of reduction is carried as shown be- tween Nogales and Benson. (At this writing THE OASIS has been unable to get the figures of the proposed new tariff between El Paso and Nogales). Upon fifth class the reduction will be from $1,0S per hundred to sixty-fve cents, making the computation upon the same basis. But the figures given are pure guess work, for the new schedules received at the Southern Pacific depot in No- gales show the rates between Ari- zona stations only, and there has been received no schedule showing new rate from Fl Paso to Noga- les based upon the reduced rates between Arizona points; and until such schedule is obtainable there can be given no correct and ac- curate quotation of rates between the two cities. So far as El Pasc is concerned there appears nc change in rates to Arizona points unless the railroad office at Noga, les is in error.
 But assuming that the reduction in freight from El Paso to Nogales is that guessed in the preceding paragraph, there can be ciphereC out some very interesting figures
 As an instance there is cited here 2 shipment of paper to THE OASIS from St. Louis. The total charge
 was $48, of which $17 were paic
 the roads east of El Paso and $3-
 were the charge from El Paso tC
 Nogales. Now then, if the reduc
 ton from the Texas town to tn,
 line city is twenty-two per cent th'
 saving on such shipment of pape
 will be $6.80, and the total charg,
 will be $41.20 instead of $4S, whicl
 is quite an item. In the course 0

came back today and won the Figueroa
handicap, the Santa Anita feature, in an
ordinary romp, wholly outclassing his
field. Enfield set the pace into the
stretch and held on gamely, but Maga-
zine had the speed to go and win at his
leisure. Lady Irma- the speed marvel OF
the local track, was poorly ridden and
only got the show, although recently
setting the world record at this dis
tance.
J. NJ. Stokes won the baby race and
fully justified form thereby, although he
might have had some trouble in beating
virgfe Case without the aid of an acci-
dent, in which Golden Butterfly was
knocked down at the eighth pole and
caused a tumble of the field. Virgte
Casse finished stoutly and placed, and
Chester Krum. which caused the spill,
was third.
Ethon, which has won all his recent
starts simply romped home with the
third race, SNOWFALL being second at a
long price. Ida May was third and
Fleming, the good thing, was fourth, the
victim of poor ride.
Raleigh, just in from Emeryville, won
the last race. Raleigh had to be 100
pounds the best to win, as Kain almost
threw the race away in the final jumps
after leading all the way. Alteration
was second and easily best the way the
race was run.
