IN WESTERN KANSAS.

The mysterious disease which Is
killing hundreds of horses In vest

Of six expert veterinarians from the
Kansas. Agricultural College. In
answer to urgent calls from many
western counties the veterinary de-

physicians to study the disease and
give all the immediate treatment
possible. DIR. II P. Has1am left

affects the nerves and muscles OF
the animals, finally paralyzing them.

as the commissioners are aware is
giving satisfaction. They have had
no call for change to the pound
rate basis and have no reason to be-
l.eve that such change is eXpedi-
ent at this time. Apparently the
standard crate is a satisfactory unit
upon which to base express rates for
the time being.
>. The express rates on fruits and
vegetables tn points beyond the Ohio
river are of no particular Importance
to Florida growers. The shipments
that so TO these markets usually go
l., freight in carload lots.
For these reasons the commission
ers have not thought it wise to mi
tiate the leyeling process at this time
though these changes must of course
come in the course OF time.
The great demand up to the pres
ent time has been for 4 reduction in
express rates. To the accomplish
ment of this end the commissioners
have devoted their attention. II the
Florida commissioners had undertake
en- to now raise these new issues. it
would have been necessary to prac-
tically make a new case and this
would necessarily have resulted In
further delay as was announced by
the examiner at the recent hearing.

COMMISSION
and SOUTHERN *
PRtSSRATfS

-@fsAi
Ike status OF the case Of the railroad
comm is toner's of Florida VS.. tn
/ southern Express Co, and the Occa'
SION Tor the supplemental hearing re-
! Gently held in Washington. the sec,
.ctary OF the Florida commission has
,.i.cn out The following information
The interstate commerce commits
ion on their examination OF the rec
ord found certain discrepancies IN
the old rates which to their minds
lad not been sufficiently eliminated
by the proposed new rates, and they
rcopened the case and called on the
express company, not the commits
.ioners. to explain these discrepaE-
cies. That is why a new hearing was
necessary.
The discrepancies pointed out
were:
First. That the prevailing crate
y. .i,s resulted in a high
or charge per pound on some veget-
ables than others and that the charge
Der pound also varied with the size
of the crate.
Second. That there was discrim-
nation in rates in favor of Cincin-
natl and other cities beyond the Ohio
river.
As to these discrepancies the ex-
aminer in his communication to the
Florida commissioners said among
other things:
1T is the right OF the defendant
TO have its attention specifically d.
rccted to this situation and an OPP
pOrtunity afforded 1t to explain the
discrepancies referred to. From my
present knowledge of the record, |
feel that the principal witness to be
examined at the hearing would be
Mr.. Patterson, or some other traffic
official of defendant who understands
thoroughly these rates and the reas-
Ons behind the apparent discrepar-
cies which are disclosed in the rec
ord"
The substance of this Is that the
examiner suggests that the inter-
state commerce commission ought to
look to the proposition of leveling
express rates, while the Florida COM
missioncrs have not asked for any
levcling of rates but have asked
merely for uniform reduction of
rates.
The Florida commissioners fully
recognize the force Of all that was
said by the examiner as to the de-
STABILITY of leveling rates but on
that point the following facts must
be born in mind:
I. The leveling of rates is a very
delicate process. 1t is sure to result
In raising some and lowering others
The result Is sure to create dissatis-
faction in some quarters.
