CAROLINA RATE CASE
TO COMMISSION TODAY
Attorney General Pollard and Traffic

Der, i'm Washington.
REPRESENTS VIRGINIA CITIES
Want Lower Freight Rates Between
Virginia mad North Carolina Points
Hearing Before the /. G. G. To-
day.

Attorney General .nhn Garland
Pollard. representing the Virginia Cor
poratfon Commission, and E. s. Good
man, and others. representing the
Richmond Chamber of Commerce.
left yesterday afternoon for Washing
ton to be present at the hearing be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today of tae North Carolina
freight rate case.
In this case the corporation COM
mission. acting for the cities OF Rich
mond, Roanoke. Lynchburg, Peters
burg and Norfolk, petitions the Inter-
state Commerce Commission for re-
duction in rates between Virginia
cities and points in North Carolina.
The commission asks that the rates be
placed on the same relative basis as
the rates on the Louisville and Nash
Vile and other railroads between
Cincinnati and Louisville 10 NORM
Carolina points.
Many win Attend.
Representatives OF commercial or
ganizations of all the cities affected
will be in Washington to attend the
hearing, as will the entire Corporation
Commission of North Carolina, and
the Greensboro Chamber OF Conn
merce.
the virginia cities have interviewed
through their Chambers OF Com
merce. These cities take the position
that they are in active competition
with Cincinnati and Louisville, and
for that reason should be placed on
the same relative basis with refer
ence to North Carolina points. The
hearing will last two or three days,
and Mr.. Cox is expected to take sew
eral commercial witnesses with him.
Chambers of commerce of North
Carolina cities and the North Caro-
lima State Corporation Commission
are opposing the reduction, working
in the interest of the manufacturers
and jobbers of the State.
Attorney General Pollard pointed
out Yesterday that the State of North
Carolina as a whole will be benefited
by the reduction and expressed him
self as unable to understand why II
should be fought.
Benefits the People.
Lower rates. he said, means lower
nrices to retailers and consequently
to consumers. He will point out that
not only are the Virginia cities, but
the people of North Carolina in
terested in the requested reduction.
The case has been before the In
terstate Commerce Commission for
some time, the request for a. reduc-
ton coming shortly after the North
Carolina commission had secured Q
reduction in the rates of the Central
! Western roads with terminals In Noru
| Carolina. North Carolina immediate
| ~ opposed the application, and
date for a hearing was set. The mat
ter was postponed from time to time
the latest postponement being wher
a commissioner named by the Fedora
commission was to have taken testi'
mony at the Federal building here
The matter then was delayed to date
not fixed, but recently a hearing was
set for May S.

Good Roads and Cotton

Washington, May 19.-Since
1906, the average days haul of
cotton from the farm to the ship
ping station has been increased
from about 1,7O0 pounds to
about 5000 pounds, according
to report made bv Mr.. Frank
Andrews, chief Of the division of
crop reports of the United States
agricultural department..
Commenting on this, Presi-
dent Harrison of Southern Rail
way company said: While
the shortening of the average
haul, due to railroad construc-
ton and the use of draft ami
mails, has probably been help
full, there can be no doubt that
the principal factor in this large
saving in the cost Of marketing
the cotton crop is the direct re
suit of the progress that ha
been made in improving tn
country highways Of the South
1t is a practical demonstration
of the economic advantage o
, improving roads radiating from
market towns and shipping sta
tions SO as to give the benefits o
good roads to the largest practi
cable number Of farmers in tn
community. That there is still
room for fulthe improvement
in many localities is shown b,
the fact that the average wagol
load of cotton varies in differen
parts of the cotton belt from tw'
and one half bales to eightb bales. ,
