Corporation Commission Denies
Petition Of R., F & P. for
Higher Tariff.
'RHEA ALONE DlssENTs.
Commission Sees No Reason
Why Present System Should
Be Disturbed.

In an order entered yesterday. the
State Corporation Commission denied
the petition of the Washington South
srn Railroad Company to increase IT'S
passenger rates from 1-2 cents to g
cents per mile. The matter has been
pending for some time. In the opinion
written by Judge Prentis. and concur
red in by Commissioner winsfield. it
is stated:
I'VE know of no good reason. and
certainly none appears from the evi-
dence submitted in this case, why the
road should be permitted to charge a
higher rate.
Commissioner Rhea dissents.
The Washington Southern Railroad
Company is. thirty -siX-mile strip of
road running from Quantico. on the
Potomac River, to Washington city.
and is operated in conjunction with
the Richmond. Fredericksburg and
Potomac as a through trunk line from
Richmond to Washington, CARRYING not
only the business between these two
cities. but the through passenger trains
Of the seaboard Air Line and the At
lantic Coast Line, which run between
New York and Florida.
They Buy to Alexandria.
Since the commission entered an,
order putting into effect in Virginia a
general rate of 2 l-2 cents, the prac-
tice has gradually grown up of passen-
gers from this icty and others points
buying tickets to Alexandria at the
l-2 cent rate, ana thence paying
their fares into Washington at the 8
cent rate.
The opinion entered by the commits
sion says:
Taking general view OF the situ-
alton, and taking notice of the fact
that the standard rate upon the chief
lines of railway in Virginia is a max
imum of 2 1-2 cents per mile (as fixed
by the orders of this commission. of
March 16. 1909, and now effective on
the Norfolk and Western. Chesapeake
and Ohio, the Southern. the Seaboard
Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Iinel,
we think that the Washington South
ern, as q part OF a great railway line
between the North and the South on
the Atlantic coast, should be placed in
the same class with the railways
which have been named.
I'VE know Of no good reason. and
certainly none appears from the evil
dence submitted In this case, why II
should be permitted to charge a higher
rate.
No Sufficient Reason.
eve are equally satisfied that thero
is no sufficient reason why 1t should
be forced to do its intrastate passen-
ger business alta small rate.
Therefore, we are of opinion that
Its maximum intrastate passenger rate
should be made to conform TO the
standard rate In effect in Virginia,
namely, a maXimu of 2 la cents per
mile per passenger.
There are great many commuta.
tion rates in effect upon the line
which, according to the evidence. vary
from 4-10 OF a cent per mile to cent
per mile, and there are certain mile
age rates in effect upon the system
available for lntrastate travel at the
rate at 2 centsper mile. These comniu-
tAtion and mileage rates must he con-
tinued. Holding these views. the COM
