SWEEPING RATE REVISION
is NOW IN Contemplation
Revision May Mean Material Increase in Present Freisht
Rates 1t is Important That Trade Bodies Secure,
If Possible, Suspension of Classification PGndiRq
Thorough Investigation of Revision

What may mean a very importan
I revision of freight rates is now pend
ing before the Railroad Commission O.
Georgia, as ordered by the Interstate
Commerce commission, and the opin-
ION entertained concerning the revas-
ion is that it may mean a substantial
increase in freight rates.
The railroad commission has. there
fore, sent out to all boards of trade
and similar trade organizations in
Georgia a circular letter suggesting
| that all the commercial organizations
of this kind in the state act in con-
junction and call for a suspension of
the revision until the matter of what
the revision may mean mty be thor
oughly investigated ii is pointed out
in the letter that such a suspension
of rates was called for by the western
states under similar circumstances
and granted, thereby allowing them
sufficient time for investigation that
made ineligible the proposed changes
in rates.
The local Board of Trade will take
action in the matter soon and act in
conjunction with the other trade or
CARNATIONS in the state, as the matter
is apparently one of the greatest con-
Germ to merchants and business men
generally. The letter in full is as
follows:
This commission has received, and
Iresumes you have been supplied with
Q copy of Southern Classification No. |
49, issued by w r. Powe, agent, ef- |
fective June 18th, 1912 This classi-
fication, as you know, applies on all !
Interstate traffic moving into and out
of the state of Georgia. We have only
been able to make a superficial exam
ination of the same, but it shows class
advances and increases in carload
minimum weights affecting approxi-
mately $50 articles; while reductions
in class ratings and carload minimum
weight seem to affect approximately
327 articles. There are also numer-
0us additional classification items the
effect of which we have not had OPP
Dortunity to investigate.
"You understand, of course, that
changes in freight rates can be
brought about in three ways: First,
Increase in rate per 100 pounds OH
he articles moving; second, change
Or increase in classification rating.
md third, change in carload mini
mum weight 1t has been impossible
or us, with our limited opportunity,
Dffice force and time for investigation,
o form any idea as to the materiality
,r extent of changes effected by tbs
lew issue. 1t may be that the in
reases in rates are on articles that
move freely and regularly, while the
eductions are on articles that move
cry infrequently, or vice versa.
1T occurs to us, therefore, to write

'ers of commerce in Georgia, of which

is planned to serve the local sports a
course of pugilistic bouts that will
keep their teeth on edge and give them
opportunities of enjoying the very best
that the pugs can hand out in this
section of the state.
Tickets for the first scrap on Fri
day night are already on sale at Muir
ray & Hooks, and the seats at the
ring-side are always the best for en-
ioying boxing bout that is the real
thing. Local sportsmen are urged tc
patronize the bout and to give it theii
loyal support, as upon this depends
, the success of the plan here.
