MILEAGE BOOKS
 ARE DISCONTINUED Their Sale Will Cease On Southwestern ORads On
 Order of Association.
NO INTER STATE RATE
COnpIicates Situation Insofar as the Short Lines Are Concerned,
 Effect of Ruling.

The sale of railroad mileage books throughout the southwest will cease. This was the decision yesterday at the quarterly meeting of the South Wesmtern Passenger Association at it's headquarters in St. Louis. Ticket agents of every line within that ter ritory will be notified to take mile- age tickets off sale.
 Mileage books have been sold at a discount of 1-2 cent a ile from the regular rates. which meant an aver- age of ? 1-2 cents per mile. Since the 2-cent fare laws of Missouri, Ok lahoma and Arkansas were sustained by the recent decisions of the United States supreme court. railroad off cials have declared that no rate con- sessions could be granted.
 Complicated Affair.
 The prevailing passenger tariffs, which in most cases went into effect July f, are il the main a flat intra- state rate of cents mile, which is a lower basis than the mileage books which are superseded Interstate rates have not yet felt the effect of the decision, as the procedure of the interstate commerce commission must be followed and more time will be required.
 Little Benefit Here.
 For instance under the present rul- ing, where Arkansas and Oklahoma are subject to the 2-cent rate, tick ct purchased in F't Smith to a point in Oklahoma, Muskogee, will sell on the 3-cent mileage basis, despite the fact that in both states ? cent rates are effective. Fort Smith is so To- cated from the railroad standpoint that cent rates in Arkansas are of little effect there. Both the Kansas City Southern and the Iron Mountain with exception of one train of the latter, go into Oklahoma before reach ing points in the state, so a 3 cent rate is charged on ticket to Little Rock, Pine Bluff, TeXarkana, etc. Another phase of the problem that the Southwestern Passenger Associa- tion will be forced to solve is where one of two competing lines between two points has the shorter route. The longer route will be forced to charge even less than 2 cents per mile if ii wants to compete for the business between the cities. This relative length of roads between competitive points will be a serious problem in the minds of local passenger men. While the shorter and weaker roads and systems were excused by the SUI preme court from the operation of the 2 cent rates along their lines they vii be forced to use the cent rates when competing with trunk line railways between competitive points.

NO TWO CENT RATE
 INTO MEXICO
ARK tNSAW TRAVELLERS GET NO REJECTION UNLESS THEY RE.
 BUY TICKETS AT STATION.
Clergy Rates S!oppe dl,y Railroads.
 May Be Declared Illegal.

Memphis, Tenn, July 1S.-Travelers
 to and from Memphis will not be giv-
 en advantage of the two-ccnt passen-
 ger rate in Arkansas The former
 rates from this city to points in that
 state are being continued by local of
 fees. That was announced by rail
 road men today, when the new Arkan
 sas rates went into effect
 The new rate may bring decreased
 number of tickets sold to points in
 distant parts of the state, as tickets
 are being bought to nearby towns in
 Arkansas, then new ones are purchas-
 ed to the destinations.
 Persons bound for ToXarkana. for instance, can effect a saving of prac- tically $2.50 by getting ticket from Memphis to the first stop in Arkan- sas, then obtaining one from there to TeXarkana. A proportionate amount can be saved by persons going
 to other cities by that plan. Local ticket offices have felt the eff feet of this plan largely since the two cent law went into effect Practical ly all the tickets fer Arkansas points are sold to nearby towns, where a second purchase is made. That will bring a large decrease in receipts of Memphi sticket offices. The new rate has brought announce
 ment of the discontinuance of the special clergy rate in the state by two railroads and similar announcement
 made by other roads operating ill Ar
 kansas later.
 In circulars sent out yesterday the Frisco System orders a discontinuance of clergy rates from Memphis to points in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas and locally in those states. The
 rate is discontinued by the Missouri Pacific-lron Mountain in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana and from points in those states to St. Louis and Kansas City.
 No change by the Rock Island and Cotton Belt has been announced, though the same plan will be put into effect, according to local railroad men.
 Rate May Be Illegal. Doubt as to the legality of selling a ticket from Memphis to Texarkana- 1 or any other Arkansas point-that will cost more than is charged by the plan of buying second ticket after | crossing into that state is felt local ly
 In similar matters involving freight
 rates the Interstate Commerce Com
 mission has ruled that the excess
 charge is unreasonable. It has held that the charge for a certain distance shall not exceed the sum for any two parts of the distance.
 Rulings of the commission largely | are the same in freight and passengeN matters, and a test petition might re l suit in an order 70 the railroads te | give Memphis the benefit of the lower
 rate on tickets to points inside Arkan. | sas.
