Commerce Commission Turns Down
Proposed Rate Increase.
The so called S3-cent scale of rail-
road freight rates from points east
of the Mississippi river and north of
the Ohio and Potomac rivers to St.
Paul and Minneapolis was found rea-
sonable In decision handed down by
the interstate commerce commission,
and the 9O-cent rate proposed by the
railroads serving the territory was
found not justified.
The railroads are ordered to main
tain the 83-cent rate for two years
and are required to maintain the rail
and lake and rail class rates on the
same sort of traffic, which shall not
exceed or be lower than their pres
ent 21-cent scale of differentials over
the rates contemporaneously in effect
at Duluth. The proposed 28-cent
scale to the Twin Cities was found
unduly discriminatory in favor of Du-
luth.

IRON ORE RATES EXCESSIVE
Interstate Commerce Commission 10
sues Order Affecting Carriers
on Minnesota Ranges. i

The existing rate of 60 cents a long
ton on iron ore from mines on the Me-
sabi range in this state to vessels at
Two Harbors and Duluth and AL.
louez Bay, Wis, was pronounced un-
reasonable by the interstate COM
merce commission and the Great
Northern and other railroads were or
dered to establish rate of not more
than SIS cents.
No finding was made by the com.
mission on the rates from mines in
the Vermillion and Guyana ranges,
but representatives of the Guyana
range, however, the commissions re-
port declares, said during the prog
ress of the case that even if no order
is entered with respect to that range
the rate for the Mesabi would be con-
trolling.
The case is one of the most i'm
portant decided by the commission in
several months. The Great Northern
alone carried 100000 long tons of
ore to docks from Minnesota mines in
1913.
The report says the United States
Steel corporation indirectly controls
the Duluth and Iron Range Railroad
company and the Duluth, Missabe and
Northern Railway company and owns
the larger portion of ore shipped over
them, and that this fact demands a
strict Interpretation of any standard
of reasonableness which is adopted,
although the right of these roads to
earn a fair return upon the property
devoted to public use is not ques-
toned"
1t was argued that a rate in excess
of reasonable rate would be- tanta-
mount to rebate to the United
States Steel corporation and that was
not contradicted by the carriers.
The commissions investigation dis
closed immense earnings by the
roads.

SUES THE PULLMAN COMPANY
State Of Minnesota Seeks to Collect
Tax of $4,000.

An important suit has been filed in
the Ramsey county district court at
st. Paul by Attorney General l.. A.
Smith against the Pullman company
to collect $4,000 gross earnings tax
es under the 1913 tax law.
The company has disputed the claim
and rendered the state only $2,707.
Under the old law sleeping car COM
panies paid 8 per cent tax on in
trastate business exclusively. The
1913 law increased this to 5 per cent
and was to include all business done
in Minnesota by the company.
The company claims that this act
brings the law in conflict with inter-
state traffic laws .,f
