Amount Of Increases.

The tariffs filed by the eastern lines in
creased the first-class rate between NeW
York and Chicago points II cents a hum
dred pounds-from Is cents to 80 cents,
and made proportional advances on the
other five classes. Some advances also
were made on commodity rates, but the
great bulk Of the commodity tonnage of
freight was not disturbed. The proposed
advances affected approximately 10 per
cent OF the total freight tonnage.
approximately the same amount Of ton
mage was affected by the increases pro-
posed by the western lines. but the class
rates were not affected in any way. Com
modities alone were increased, the aver
age advance on about $50 different ar
ticles being substantially sixteen per
cent. the increase varying from about
four per cent in some cases to fifty per
cent in others.
At the time the tariffs were filed. the
commission had not authority to suspend
advances in rates pending an inyestiga-
ton Of their reasonabieness; but, after
conferences with the commission and
with President Taft, the railway officials
agreed voluntarily to suspend the rates
until August. Meantime, on June 10, the
present law was passed giving the com
mission power to suspend rates. SUBJ
sequently the proposed tariffs again were
suspended voluntarily. first until Novem.
Der 1. and later until February /, 1911
The commission found itself unable ply.
sically to conclude its consideration OF
the cases by February I, and again the
rates were suspended until March Is.

The opinion holds, however, that 1.-THE
carriers have not, by showing that. the
increases in wages more than equal the
increases in rates, made out the reason
ableness of the proposed advanced rates
because, it is indicated, it apIAlrs that
during the year ending June 80, 1910, the
net earnings Of these railroads aggregated
Sol 100000 more than during the year
1909" While 1t is admitted that this is
not conclusive against the propriety OF
the advances. sit does show that we can
not conclusively presume from an in
crease in operating expense that there
should be a corresponding increase in
transportation charge
It is laid down as a principle that mo
general advance in rates should be per-
mitted until carriers have exhausted
every reasonable effort toward economy

pressed that railroad operators have not
given to this subject the attention it
deserves.

 Regardless of hearsay, or book, And I'd study the one nature problem, Sitting on the old bridge's end-log, And see if the polliwog really
 Turned into turtle or frog But the polliwogs bed is dismantled, The old fording place is no more The old wooden bridge IS demolished The day of the tadpole is OCT, Now quaff from the flagou of sudLess, And grief, to the brim fills my cup, For l never can show that l certainly

What the Other Fellows Say

Colonel Roosevelt says four children should constitute a family and Dr. Eliot says eight. It's up to the two great Harvard men to get together and com promise Bridgeport Post.
 The Connecticut legislature is not an exception. Freak bills seems to be the order of the day in every state. Time and energy are spent upon. trif1es while the big things are completely ignored. If such tactics are employed 1t will take all summer to finish up business.-Meri- den Record.
 The New Haven Union has started a Made in New Haven" campaign like that which Bridgeport has been waging for To, these many years. There is one thing about that sort of exploiting a place while it does full justice to the things made in it, there is no interfer- ence with the things made elsewhere Bridgeport has about four thousand things that might be branded with the Bridgeport guarantee of excellence, and large number of them are.-Bridgeport Standard.
 AutOmobilists who object to speed laws should buy aerOplanes. There is no limit higher up.-Pittsfield Journal.
 Human nature is so full of eccentri- cities that It is difficult to always decide upon the line of demarcatiOn between sanity and insanity. Therefore, unfort- unate persons who are perfectly sane are sometimes sent to asYlums while persons who should be under that sort of restraint are permitted to go free until they injure themselves or others as has happened frequently of late.-Hartford Post.
