EXCESS FARE HEARING l BEFORE COMMISSION
Rate Now Charged by Railroads for Tickets Bought on Trains
 Looked Into

The Arizona corporation commits
 sion was engaged yesterday afternoon
 in the examination into the question
 of passenger excess rates as now
 charged by the railroads doing busi-
 ness in and through the state. An
 excess fare charge as coming direct
 ly under the matters of the hearing,
 is that amount over the regular fare
 that is charged, by orders of the
 company, by the conductors for
 transportation purchased from the
 conductors on the train, instead of
 at the ticket office Conductors can
 not sell tickets on the train for a.
 greater distance than the end of
 their division, so that if passen-
 ger fails to obtain a ticket at a sta
 ton, and expects to travel a long
 journey, in Arizona, and fails to get q ticket al the end of the division.
 he is forced to pay certain penalty
 in excess of the regular fare.
 The statute passed in 1901, pro- viding that but five cents additional. is now being literally observed by but one system operating within the state This system is the Fl Paso and Southwestern. The explanation is made that the five cent excess charge however came in the law through a printers error. The ori- ginal bill read 25 cents, but the was dropped out in printing. This has given opportunity for various renderings of the statute with the result that none of the other systems 1 have been observing the letter of the 1 law.
 The excess fares charged by the 1 Santa F'e system and it's connecting l lines in Arizona has been one cent | per mile over the regular ticket rate l The Southern Pacific and allied lines 1 has been charging ten per cent of the
 ticket rate up to five dollars. or u maximum rate of fifty cents per ticket. The A. X x. NJ. charge has / been from five 10 twenty five cents 1 over the regular rate.
 The idea of the commission in 1 holding the hearing is to establish a uniform rate that may be chargea ble 1 by all roads of the state. It did
 not appear from the testimony yes l terday that the commission is de- sirOus of abolishing an excess charge 1 because that would almost entirely | do away with the ticket offices. none l of the people would buy their tick 1 cts at the depot or ticket offices and | the result probably would be too ! much work for the conductor and poorer service from the railroads.
