 We will at once prepare our local passenger tariffs for filing with the Interstate Commerce commission, mak- ing the rates of four and five cents per mile respectively on lines as stated above, effective November Ist, 1909, or as soon thereafter as is possible.

Special to the Journal Miner
 PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 1O.-R. S. Stubbs, assistant general freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pa eific and general freight and passen- ger agent of the Randolph lines in Arizona; A. E. Taylor, representing P. P. Hastings, general passenger agent of the s. F. P. & P, and w. S. ,Goldsworthy, general agent of the Santa Fe, this morning appeared be- fore the Arizona railway commission, announcing a reduction of one cent per mile on all lines of the Santa Fe, Prescott < Phoenix system, on the Maricopa & Phoenix road and on the Phoenix $ Eastern to all points be- tween Phoenix and Mesa City.
 On the last named road, from Mesa City to Winkelman, the rates remain the same as before-five cents a mile -on account of the small passenger business.
 The reductions are made in response to the request of the railway com mission filed with all the railroad lines in Arizona or crossing Arizona early in July.
 It is intimated that the main lines and some other of the Randolph lines, possibly the Gila Valley might make reductions later, as the matter is be- ing given careful consideration at headquarters, but no promises are made to that effect.
 The railroad representatives stated that the lines had long considered making a reduction but were not con- vineed that the traffic yet warranted it. However, in response to the petition of the commission they were willing to aceede to this extent, test ing the theory of the commission that increased business would largely com pensate for it. Further they desire to cooperate as literally as possible in the development of the country and work harmoniously with the com mission in all reasonable demands.
 The reductions are: Santa Fe, Pres eott & Phoenix, from five cents a mile to four; on the Bradshaw Noun tain, Prescott & Eastern, Arizona & California, from six cents to five; MaricOpa & Phoenix, from five cents to four; Phoenix & Eastern between Phoenix and Mesa City, from five cents to four. The reduction of B cents from Phoenix to Marieopa. the nearest main line point, and there fore the governing rate, works re duction of B cents on all through tickets to or from Phoenix from any point east or west. As indicating the amount of reduction on local traffic. the following figures are given to illustrate the rates applying to all intervening points according to mile age. It will be noted that in some | instances computations cover two lines at differing rates:

lst or whereabouts.
 The spirit in which the railroads met the request of the commission is evidenced by the following letter from General Passenger Agent Hastings of the s. F. P. & P. to Secretary Biek- nell:
 Prescott, Ariz., Sept. :, 1909 NIT. NJ. o. BickneH,
 Secretary, the Arizona Railway Com
 mission, Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Sir: Referring to your favor of the 9th ult., relative to reduction of local passenger fares on the lines operated by the s. F. P. & P. Rail way company in Arizona, in which you state that your honorable body, after consideration of the facts set forth in my letter of August 2d. is still of the opinion that the redue tions asked in your letter of July lst, 1909, should be granted, the same being:
 On s. F. P. & P. railway main line, between Ash Fork and Phoe- nix from five cents to four cents per mile; and on the s. F. P. & P. Rail way cOmpany's branch lines, the Pres cott & Eastern railroad, Bradshaw Mountain railroad, and Arizona & California railway, from six cents to five cents per mile.
 For some time past the reduction of local passenger fares on these lines has been considered by the of ficers of this company who have hoped that the time would soon ar rive when the local passenger reve- lues, operating expenses and all things considered, would justify such reduction. For reasons as partially stated in my letter of August 2d, we 10 not believe that the reduction is even now justified by the passenger
