and in order that the shippers and car
riers may have abundant opportunity
to analyze the rates and rules pro-
posed, the order requires the carriers
TO show cause on October 9, 1912, why
the proposed rates should not go into
effect. The report was written by
commissioner Lane and is a very able
exhibit of this important matter,
reaching what appears to be q wise
conclusion.
Although the rates charged the ship
ping public was the basis of the gen
eral dissatisfaction, Yet there were
many rules and practices which pre-
vented the unObstructed movement
Of traffic, and many regulations which
caused great many charges to appear
unreasonable and at the same time
prevented shippers from getting such
service as that which they had reason
to demand.
Overeharges Caused Complaint.
Double collection Of lawful charges
was a daily source of complaint-the
payment by the receiver of express
charges which had been paid by the
sender-and, while the management Of
the companies denied that this was the
result Of any recognized policy on
their part, yet the investigation
showed the manner of doing business
rendered such results almost newt
able, and to cure the evil there has
been prescribed the use of yellow Ia
bells and waybills for packages on
which the charges have been paid, the
former TO be pasted on the package.
and white labels and waybills for
packages on which the charges are to
be paid by the receiver. If the de-
livery sheets of the deliverymen should
show that there are charges on a pack
age which bears a yellow label, il is
to be delivered without any collec-
ton, and when a package is offered a
consignee which bears no label. it
shall be delivered as though it were
prepaid.
Quick Traffic Ordered.
The commission recognizes the fact
that expedition is the basis of the ex-
press business and requires the ex-
press companies to forthwith es-
tablish through routes between the
principal points in the United States,
which routes shall follow the main
lines of travel, the most direct in
point of time measured by the schedule
of those passenger trains by which
normal schedules are observed. This
one ruling will be of great benefit
to FL PasO, as it will open to its
use, without restraint. the short line

The ruling Of the interstate CON-
merce commission in ordering a gen
eraI reduction Of express rates and
overhauling of express customs, viii
largely aid the shippers Of the coun-
try and in this, those Of FL Paso viii
receive their share Of the benefit.
The interstate commerce commits
sion has found many things to crit
tcise in the methods Of the express
companies ard its Investigations
brought out some startling figures
on the profits of the express business
and its close relation to the business
of the railroads of the country.
In the ordered reductions. which
become effective in a little less than
three months, the biggest cuts are on
the larger packages, which will be Of
benefit to FL Paso merchants desiring
TO secure quick orders, while the bene-
fit to mail order houses will not be
so great as was feared, since the re-
ductiOns on small packages is not so
great.
Many abuses of the express com
panies in the matter of free delivery,
wrong classificatiOns and charges,
high charges on valuable packages,
etc, have been ordered corrected.
History OF the Fight.
When in the month of April, 1910,
the Merchants association of New
York requested the FL PasO chamber
OF commerce to Join in a petition to
the interstate commerce commission
for an investigation of the rates, rules
and regulations of the express com
panies, there was no hesitancy in tax
ing advantage of the opportunity, as
it was fully appreciated that a revis-
ion would prove a great benefit to this
city
At the time the commercial organ
izatiOn of this city Joined in this
movement there were only ~ such as
sociations participating. although this
number was afterward increased to
nearly $50 and the express rate con-
ference committee was formed to raise
funds, secure data engage attorneys
and experts necessary to prosecute this
important move to a successful con-
clusion.
Effective On October 3.
After a number Of hearings in diff
ferent cities and a very exhaustive
Investigation the interstate commerce
commission consolidated a number OF
formal COMPLAINTS and rendered n de-
eisiou which is national in its scope,
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-07-24

On shipments weighing more than
so pounds the rate is less under the
new graduating scale at the proposed
rate than when computed at pound
rates under the present rate.
Does Not Favor Mail Order Houses.
The commission says in its opinion,
that a burden that is excessive ana
unjustifiable has rested upon the pack
ages, of smaller weight, which the
express carrier was especially created
to transport, and that the railroad
company in farming out this branch
tract basis has created an inevitable
tendency to increase parcel rates. Con-
trary TO the fears of many, this ad-
justment does not favor mail order
houses in the large cities of the east.
with a view of doing the greatest good
to the mercantile interests of this
city.

panv Thomas +. O'NeiIl, of Hous-
ton. Texas. one of the directors of the
same company, exhibited several bottles
of crude oil
These samples have just brought
with me from our biggest producing
well near Artesia. n. NJ" said Mr.
O'Neiu. We have four wells three and
a half miles east of Artesia, three of
which are producing 241-2 barrels of
oil a day; and the fourth one, which at
first flowed from seepage only, 20
barrels a day, we have cleaned out, and
it now produces $50 barrels of oil a
day. This oil is probably the best
lubricating oil in the United States.
It is worth, just as it comes out of the
ground, eight cents a gallon or 81 a
barrel. After refining, this oil will be
worth 40 cents d gallon. Here is the
analysis of this crude petroleum, which
was struck at $50 feet depth, which
shows its remarkable quality. The
analysis was made for US by P. S. Til

given from New York that the largest
reductions are on the sized packages
received by our merchants to take
care of their hurry up orders.
Prevents Discrimination.
This adjustment will prevent rates
that are discriminatory, that is to say,
the rates from this city to Denver will
not be on one basis and those from
Denver TO FL PasO on another basis
At this time many of the rates from
Denver to points in New Mexico are
on a much lower basis than those from
FL Paso to points in that state This
prevails in many places and this case
IS only cited as an instance
Some very slight advances have been
ordered in the rates per hundred
pounds between FL Paso and points
in the trade territory of this city, al
though the package rates viii be re-
duced. and there have been some very
material reductions ordered, in the
rate per hundred pounds, such as for
example the rates:

May Not Contest Ruling.
The acceptance of the order of the
commission will mean a large saving
to the mercantile interests of this
city, as we'll as doing much TO increase
its Importance as wholesale and
shopping center. There have been re-
ports that the order as to rules and

and put into operation, but there are

that the express carriers will accept

passing of a parcels post act. and fu-

will have the effect of forcing the rail-

Eleventh DISTRICT
POLITICS IS WARM
Several Candidates viii Scrap
For BraDtIey'S Seat

Waycross, Ga, March 14-Congres-
sional politics in the old Eleventh is
beginning to wax warm and the prob
ability is that several candidates will
be in the race in short time. Brant-
ley's announcement of his intention to
retire at the end of this term has
brought forawrd the names of many
aspirants and some positive announce
ments will be made in few days.
Coffee county will probably have a
candidate in the person of Judge ]. w.
Quincey, whose friends are bringing
strong pressure on him to announce.
Dickerson, who represented Clinch
county in the house and senate, and
who has always taken a prominent
part in the affairs of his district; j.
Randall Walker o. M. Smith w. S.
West or Judge w. e. Thomas, of VAL
dosta, will probably be in the race
The friends of each are trying to
center on one of them and a definite
announcement from Valdosta will
probably be made by one of them this
week. Judge Joseph Bennett of Bruins
wick is also mentioned for the place
and should he decide to enter the con-
test, he will make it warm for the
others.
There is come talk of John p
Knight, of Berrien, entering the con-
test, but this is hardly probable, as
Berrien county was only added to the
district last year, and they would
hardly enter a contest for the place at
this time,
