LOWER EXPRESS
RATES ORDERED
Commerce Commission Thinks
Result viii Be Lower Cost
of Living.

An approximate rebate " I : per cent
in express rates for all companies
shipping in and out Of Atlanta and all
companies ~ the United states has
been ordered by the Interstate COM
merce commission. a report prescrib-
ing this was made public today IN
Washington Rates on light packages
WIN snow greater reduction
Drastic reforms in regulation and
operation are also required October 9
was set by the commission as date
when the companies might attempt TO
show why these changes should not be
put into effect
State Rates To Go Down.
Chairman G. Murphey Gambler, of the
Georgia railroad commission. says that
If the interstate commission adopts the
new rates an it's October meeting and
enforces them, the Georgia board win
probably adopt the same schedules
governing interstate business. The
commission has been considering for
some time the rates Of the Southern
Express Company and has been walt
ing on the action of the interstate
tribunal The records show that about
SO per cent Of express business in Geor-
gia IS interstate and out of the control
Of the state board, but the remaining
twenty per cent can be reached by the
adoption of the interstate schedule by
the state commission
Briefly stated the new rates may be
said TO be based on minimum charge
of 81 cents for a one pound package.
This charge increases in ratio to the
increase Of weight and distance The
effect on Atlanta Is shown as follows:
At present it costs So cents for a five
pound package between Washington
and Atlanta Under the new rates the
charge would be 30 cents To Port
land, Oregon. from Atlanta, i've
pound package would cost So cents. a
ten-pound package $3.50 a % pound
package 1913, 100 pound package
$1425 Under the proposed rates the
charges would be respectively 10 cents.
.$t.21 1912 and 5000 The rates to
other points will show proportionate
Simple Rate Schedules.
The most radical change required in
the matter of operation Is the change
IN the method of determining rates and
in the rate card There are $4,000 ex-
press stations in the United States. To
name rates from each one Of these to
all others requires the statement OF
more than 6000000oo different rates
! These schedules now occupy several
volumes and expert authority is need
ed to work out any single rate Under
the new arrangement the rates from
any point TO any other will be placed or
a single card in manner easily un
derstood by all
IN order that this may be possible
the United States will be divided into
blocks. each approximately so mites
square Rates are proposed between
blacks treating all cities and towns
within each block as common points.
Commissioner Lane states that It is
his opinion that the conclusions reach
ed by the commission will go a Ions
way towards reducing the high cost o
! living. He believes that the cheap rates
on light packages will encourage com
merce between the food producer anc
the consumer direct without the inter

important part i'm the state campaigh

made To inject the Clark Wilson con-

much success. ON the Republican side,
the rivalry between the Taft and

that the rank and file of the party will
pay little attention TO the presidential
