London.-Fresh light is thrown upon
almost every phase of the life and
progress of the English people by the
first volume of the detailed report of
the census of 1911 for England and
Wales.
The population of England and
Wales at midnight of Sunday, April 2,
1911, was 36,070,492, or ATT less than
the figure published in the preliminary

Railroads Advance Rates.

General increase in freight rates on
commodities to become effective Sep
TENDER 2, are proposed in new tariffs
filed by the transcontinental railroads
with the interstate m commits
sion. While the new rates are de-
signed to meet the commission de-
cision in the Spokane, Reno and Phoe-
nix rate cases, and would reduce rates
to the intermountain territory, they
would materially increase rates from all
the east to Pacific coast points.
The proposed tariffs which affect all
transcontinental traffic, were filed by
R. H. Countiss, of Chicago, for all the
transcontinental railroads. 1t always
has been commended by the railroads
that these rates were too low.
The commission has not checked up
the tariffs with present rates, but such
examination as had been possible in
dicates that the increases to the Pa
cifc terminals are considerably greater
than the reduction to the inter-Rocky
mountain territory.
Mr.. Countiss says that some carload
rates to terminal points are advanced
on commodities which are not subject
to water competition to any great ex-
tent. This adjustment, he points out,
creates an advance 10 Ine IelHlndlo
but reduces the rates to interior des-
tinations.
Some commodity rates in force at
present, are absolutely eliminated, thus
automatically transferring the articles
shipped to the western classification I'M
der which the rates would be consider
ably higher than at present.
Mr.. Countiss maintains that this ad-
iustment would relieve the discrimina-
ton against interior destinations, which
now exists.
A thorough examination of the
tariffs will be made by the commission
, and should they be deemed unreason'
: able, they will be suspended. Already
protests against them have been made
by some shippers, but no action has
: been taken.
