/ just hdndcu GOWN dHeCtS ABOUT Two
hundred commodities upon which the
carriers claimed a large amount o
/ water competition at Pacific coast ter
minals.
Comparing the rates ordered into
effect by the Interstate Commerce
commission. as outlined in the dis
patches, with those at ""csent in Ell
iect. find that the following savings
per minimum carload will result baa-
ing the rate on Reno, Nevada:
On jute bags and bagging the re
ductions from Kansas City, Chicago.
pittsburg and New York to Reno,
range from $50 to $54 per car; on
various kinds oi canned goods the re-
ductions range from $50 to $50 per
car; on cider and vinegar from $50 to
S54 per car; on insulators and other
electrical! appliances from $50 TO 81
per car; on nails. spikes and barbci
wire, mixed carloads. from $SS to $ll6
per car; on cast iron pipe and con
nections from $33 to S45 per car; on
shoes, rings, heads. dies, cams, etc,
Tor quartz mills. from So to 81 per
car: and on paints OF various kinds
the reductions from the points named
range from $50 to $40 per car.
These are only few of any nun
Der Of illustrations that could be made
and are based on the reductions in
existing rates, which are already from
10 to 30 per cent lower than the raj :
| that We're in effect when the Nevada
commission first took up the case in
1908.
OF course. any of the commodiiic,
which the railroads make further C.
ductions in rates on to Pacific coast
terminals. and which they have claim,
ed will be necessary in order to meet
competition via the Panama canal,
will result in lower rates to Nevada
points, and therefore greater say
| ing per car, as all interior rates will
be based on the terminal rates
In my opinion, the result will rs
the building UP of a great manufac-
turing district along the Missouri
river, where the intermountain states
viii be enabled to secure their sup
plies at the terminal rates, and which
already supplies great deal Of the
tonnage for it was developed at the
various hearings in the case, that Is
/ ler cent OF the tonnage originated
either at Chicago or points west
! thereof.
( In conclusion. | will say that one
thing appears certain, and that IS
that the Nevada merchant will be
now able to control his own field, for
the order will so adjust rates as u
make it impossible for the San Fran-
cisco or Sacramento merchant to sho
goods from the east to either OF those
points and then reship them back o
Nevada in competition with the Ne-
vada merchant, who can hereafter

Teeth" In the Warnings
| By United Pre-


WASHINGTON, Feb. l2.--It was
because America does not want to be
drawn into the maelstrom OF Euro
pean war that the notes OF protes,
were sent to Germany and England.
This is the admission OF governmen,
officials, The warnings were made
stiff, so there would be no repeti-
ton Of the Maine disaster, which
plunged the United States into the
Spanish American war. Officials fear
ed that the destruction of American
vessels under a misapp1 ehension
would result from England's use OF
the flag and inevitably hurl America
into the struggle, and to avoid this
teeth were put in the warnings.

lay. Motion carried by rising vote

Rate Decision Gives Nevada
Reduction On Many Commodities

Relative TO the announced decision
yesterday by the Interstate Com
mercc commission in the so-callel
back haul case, there seems TO he
among lawyers difference Of opin-
ron as. to the benefits Nevada has
gained through the decision. 1t is
apparent, however, that a big de
crease in rates has been gained. but
according to some they are not what
were expected o. what this state is
entitled to, nor what were granted by
the United States Supreme court in
uphoI1ing the decision OF the COM
mission before the last hearing was
held
In commenting on the decision T..
II. Walker, secretary and rate expert
Of the Nevada Railroad commission,
has made the following statement 10
the press relative To the decision
handed down by the Interstate Com
mercc commission in the lntermour-
ldll ldlC 1dNtS.
observe by the headlines in the
Reno Evening Gazette that the In
termountain Rate cases had been de-
cided by the Interstate Commerce
commission, and further that Reno
had lost its fight Tor lower freight
rates. Upon analyzing the press dis
patches carefully | find that any
statement that Reno has lost the
fight for lower freight rates from
eastern points is incorrect.
Although We have not gotten the
decision | find that on the basis OF
the press reports that Reno and all
Nevada points will receive large ben
elits from the commissions order il
this case. If the report is correct the
following rate situation will prevail
in Nevada on carload freight orogin-
ating at points i'll eastern defined ter
ritory
Shipments from Missouri river ter
rtory--terminal rates.
Shipments from Chicago territory
lis per cent above terminals.
Shipments from Pittsburg territory
--2s per cent above terminals.
Shipments from New York terri
tory--35 per cent above terminals.
On certain low grade commodities
such as coal and pig iron, rates must
not exceed 5 mill, per ton to inter
mountain points.
1t must be remembered that the
Nevada commission has already won
substantial reductions in these rates
the class rates having been reduced
To practically terminal rates in 1911
a partial adjustment i'll the commod-
ity rates in 1912, and still further re-
duction in commodity rates effective
November Is, 1914. when some three
hundred commodities were given ter
minal rates from the Missouri river,
per cent above terminal from Cha
cago, IS per cent above terminals
from Pittsburg, and 25 per cent above
terminals from New York The order
