is as follows:
The commission may fix diner.
ent schedules of class or commodity

commission may define switching
and drayage service to apply 10 the
movement of traffic within and be-
tween points and fix reasonable max
imnm rates for the same, which shall

may be made for line haul transpor.
tation. The commission may fix
rates for feeding cattle which shall

mercial centers into common rate
point, and may designate the classes
of freight which shall take common
rates. and fix the mileage that shall
govern between the common rate
point and any or all other points in
the state. The distances so fixed
shall not apply as measure of the
rate for the movement of the same
