NAV Not Test . Cent Fare Law

Railroad men are beginning 10 be-
lleve that there will be no test Of
the Ohio 2-cent fare law by the rail-
roads operating in this state. II Is an
open secret that the railroads are
not a unit on this matter, the roads
operating within the state being Will
ing to let the law remain as II Is,
while the interstate roads, especially
the trunk lines. would like to see 1t
declared invalid.
The reason for the attitude of the
latter is that the Interstate commerce
commission is getting ready to apply
the long and. shorthaul clause OF tho
federal law to passenger tariffs, and
so adjust interstate rates TO agree
with the state rates. The railroads
have until May l to prepare for this
and the commission gave them 20 un-
derstand last year that II they were
going 10 test the 2-cent fare laws, a
beginning must be made before that
time.
For a number of years ithe rail-
roads have been holding off this ad-
justment OF interstate with state fares
with the plea that they expected to
test the validity OF these state laws,
limiting the maximum passenger fare
to cents a mile. IL - said that
within the last few weeks the inter-
state commerce commission has given
the roads TO understand that no
further concessions Will be granted,
but that the roads must be ready TO
place the new tariffs in accordance
with the ruling OF the commission on
May /.
on that date the roads Will have to
readjust their passenger tariffs, SO
that they will be on a straight 2-cent-
a-mile basis, and this will result in
a reduction in a number Of interstate
fares. 1t is said that the Interstate
roads fear retaliation by the state
should they join with the trunk lines
In testing the laws. so II Is probable
that nothing will be done in Ohio or
Indiana along this line,
