Bill Gould, who is located in Yer

tons between this city and Mason
Valley to be in very bad condition

The transcontinental carriers, there
fore, are ordered to readjust their
present rates by October IS next
from Eastern territories to interme-
late points as compared with the
rates from Nevada points TO the Pa

In the course of the opinion Com
missioner Lane says:
We desire to be extremely con-
servative in the first application of

ment OF rates that will be safely
within the zone of our discretion
For this reason we have decided that

Decision is Rendered in the Reno
Rate Case by Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Lane

/ he Nevada Railroad Commission
has won the greatest freight victory
Tor the people than has been handed
down by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in many years. The ia
nous Reno rate case has resulted III
a verdict in favor OF the Commiss
ion and the people. The decision -
rendered by Franklin Lane and is TO
take effect on or before the 18th oi
October. The dispatch from Wash
ington announcing the decision is in
part as follows.
Washington, July 24-ln what are
known as the Spokane Reno Pacific
coast eases, the interstate comerce
commission today ordered material
reduction in the freight rates from
the east to points between Denver
and the western terminals OF the
iranscontinental railroads.
For many years the railroads have
exacted from shippers to lntermld
late points, such as Spokane and
Reno, higher rates on eastern freig-
hts than were charged for the much
longer hauls to Seattle, San Fran
cisco and other Pacific points.
The theory has been that the rail
roads must meet water competition
to the Pacific coast.
The higher rates to intermediate
points, arbitrarily fixed. have been
Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1911-07-25

defended by a comparison with the
coast rates, plus theoretical back
haul from the coast to the inland
stations along the line.
The commission recognizes the
right of railroad to meet water
competition TO Pacific coast points,
but practically wipes out the back
haul rates to inter-Rocky mountain
territory 1t lays down what it con-
siders would be fair and just 10 var
ious freight zones in the west and
gives the railroads until October Is
to adjust their tariffs accordingly
The commission also lays down
the important principle that here
after railroads will not be permitted
to fix arbitrary market limits, and
that hereafter commercial conditions
rather than the will OF the railway
tariff managers shall control rates
on transcontinental transportation.
The decisions are OF far-reaching
import They affect directly all the
freight rates between the Atlantic
Ocean and the Pacific Coast. Par
ticularly they affect the rates i'll the
territory lying between Denver and
Pacific Coast points Hereafter the
rates paid by shippers will be gov
erned by strict Interpretation OF
the long and short haul clause.

SAD BUT TRUE

The Appeal is in receipt OF a
letter from Theodore, Utah,
asking if Carson City has
Board of Trade, or Chamber
OF Commerce or some organ
ization from which informa-
ton regarding this particular
section may be obtained
To answer that question
Faithfully would surely be
placing this part OF Nevada IN
Bad light; so we merely side
tracked the direct question
and wrote a personal letter,
giving the iniormatlcn desired
as nearly as possible and plac-
ing the situation III its best
light, being ashamed TO come
straight out and tell the writer
that Carson had no such bu-
reau organized to give any in
formation to outsiders.
But we were stumped when
directed to send a copy OF the
Appeal so that a line might be
obtained on the business places
in the city and the profes-
sions represented.
Wouldn't it be placing Car
son City in an elegant light to
send either one OF its papers
as a sort of directory as to the
business places in the city.
1t would surely show the
place as worse than second
rate country town.
The easiest way out OF this
was to simply forget to send
copy as the few loyal bust
ness people represented III ITS
columns is not criterion OF
the established business hrms.
We are sorry that this is the
case, but it is the truth, never
theless..

NEVADA WINS FREIGHT RATE DECISION
Reduction of 33 per cent on Com
modify Rate is Ordered Effective
on or Before October 18th.

In an elaborate discussion OF the
so-called Reno case and the Phoenix,
arizona, case. Commissioner Lane,
who prepared the opinions in these
cases for the Commis sion, asserts
that it must be affirmatively shown
by. the carriers seeking exceptions to
the long and short haul provisions
intermediate points by allowing low
er rates to the more distant points"
THE intentment of the amended
laws" says Commissioner Lane, is to
make its prohibition of the higher
rate for the shorter haul a rule of
wellnigh universal application from
which this Commission may deviate
only in special cases and then to-
meet transportation circumstances
which are beyond the carriers con
troll"
1t is held that ''in the light OF his
tory it is not to be gainsaid that the
transcontinental lines must give CON
sideration to the sea competition"
1t was also held, however, that
carriers herein involved have not
shown that undue discrimination was
not affected By their rate discrimina-
ton points in Nevada and points in
California; nor have they established
that the rates to the coast cities, if
extended to them from Eastern
