H. II. Hunt, district passenger

PRICE OF TRAVEL is HIGHER.
BY Use Of Fractions Railroads Make
Slight Raise in Rates.

Columbia, March 27.-Under the
ruling Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission railroads throughout the
country have revised their passenger
rates, adding the fractions and there
by increasing the rates in almost
every Instance on interstate trips
five cent? over the preceding rates.
Intrastate rates are not affected, but
remain at the former rate, 2 h cents
per mile. The Interstate Commerce
Commission a!ad q ruling &c the eff
feet that no Interstate rate could be
greater than two local rates. This
necessitated the railroads putting on
a tariff for Interstate Journeys and
they increased the rates five cents in
most instances. The fractions are
added and the rates are either five or
multiples Of five, thus making the
passengers pay the excess in every
instance.
This means that the rate from
most points in South Carolina to At
lanta, Ca, or Augusta, Ca, are five
cents more than they formerly we're.
lntrastate rates, as stated, have not
been affected, and thus one tariff has
to be kept for trips within the State
and another for trips without the
State. ;
Under the agreement with the Gov
errors Of the Southern States made
in 1909, a fiat rate of two and one
half cents a mile is charged, but the
fare is always five cents or multiples
OF five. If a fare would be twenty
two and one-third cents the intra
state charge would be only twenty
cents, or If twenty-five and one-half,
1t would be twenty-five cents. Under
the Interstate trip the fraction Is al
ways charged and the rate is five or
multiples thereof.
