suit in disaster to the carriers. This
fact is recognized by the Commission
which, in its review of the situation
stated:
at is entirely clear that the rev.
enues of a large percentage of the
lines in the Southeastern territory
would be so impaired by such a pro-
cedure as to make it impossible for
them to meet their operating expen-
SEES. taxes and fixed charges and
leave their stockholders even a mod
crate return"
II is equally obvious that II would
be unfair to punish the carriers, in
conforming to a changed public poll
cy, for acts which at the time of
commission were approved by public
opinion.
Hence in working out the order of
the Commission such elevation of
rates to the depressed points must
accompany reductions to the much
larger number of intermediate points
as will at least preserve the revenues
of the carriers.
The task of revision is no easy
one 1t has been undertaken in 10y
al effort to conform to the law. as
now interpreted and to be fair to all.
Departures from the long and
short haul principle in the South
are not confined to interstate traffic.
There are in the South a great many
intrastate rates that do not conform
to the principle. If undue discrimi
nations are to be avoided, these in
trastate rates must be brought into
harmony with the revised interstate
adjustment being made under the di-
rection of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. 1t is the purpose of
the railways of the South to take up
each intrastate revision with the sew
eral State Railroad Commissions.
