transfer points to Pacific coast ter
minals and intermountein territorial
points.
In the case of the city OF Spokane
against the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern Railroad Companies and
other carriers. the commission held
that the present rates charged from
Eastern points to Spokane are un-
reasonable and excessive, The rates
terially lower-approximately 20 per
cent. on both classes and commodities
--but they will not be effective in-
mediately.
In the Nevada and Arizona cases. In
GLIDING the Sacramento-Reno case
against the Southern Pacific Company,
the Railroad Commission Of Nevada
against the Southern Pacific Company,
and the Maricopa County Commercial
Club against the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe, and other carriers, heavy
reduction In class Yates is ordered
some of the reductions being as high
as SO Ia per cent. The commission
finds that the existing rates are "prac-
tlcally without precedent or parallel"
throughout the United States, The
average rate per ton per mile on all
ten classes from Sacramento to Reno
is 9.l6 cents. an unprecedented figure.
The class rates between Sacramento
and Reno are reduced approximately
80 per cent, the rate on first-class
freight being lowered from s1.29 per
100 pounds to So cents per 100 pounds.
Similar reductions in the class rates
are made from Sacramento to other
points in Nevada and Utah,
Rates Condemned.
In the case OF the Railroad Commits
sion Of Nevada against the Southern
Pacific Company and other carriers,
the commission condemns the existing
westbound class rates from Eastern
points to Nevada. In this connection
the commission declares these rates to
be the highest main line rates found
in the United States
Astonishing facts were developed by
the commission at its hearings con-
corning the earning capacity of the
Pacific lines. The commission shows
that during the last two years the OPP
Grating revenues of the Southern Pa
cihc Company's system had increased
100000, while its operating expenses
had decreased 100000. thus produc
ing an increased operating income OF
over Sl2,000.000, or net increase OF

CUTTING the Cost Of Living.


A big grocer in Los Angeles has de-
cided to reduce the cost of living
twenty per cent without waiting for
the government to revise the tariff or
bust the trusts.
This is how he does Il:
Sells only on a cash basis, thus
saving the annual expense of 100000
for collecting and bookkeeping.
Customers who want to maintain
running account deposit cash and are
credited four per cent interest on the
unused balances.
He abolishes all free deliveries.
charging Eve per cent on all goods
sent to the customers house. AS he
formerly figured twenty per cent as
cost Of delivery. the customer is
ahead to the tune OF fifteen per cent.
lie slashed twenty per cent from
the price of all goods on the day that
this system was put into practice.
A saving OF one-fifth Of the grocery
bills of the nation would add very
materially TO the comfort Of life in
millions of homes.
If the plan works in Los Angeles,
why Isn't it workable anywhere else?
