ARIZONA WINS IN

f. A. JONES

PHOENIX, May 1S.-"Although
the full text of the decision is not
available, reports of the commits
sjons order indicate that the inter
mountain case is finally settled and
that the settlement is in our favor,
seid Chairman F. A. Jones of the
corporation commission yesterday
"Under the new ruling Los Angeles,
Stockton and other cities that tried
t. secure terminal rates, will be
forced to pay seventy five per cent
OF the local back-haul from the real

tain fixed reductions applicable to
all points in back-hau1 territory, but
which would have given them the
same rates as to tidewater.
Mr. Jones, who argued for fifty
per cent of the local rate on the back
haul, and who was the first man at
the hearing to point out the scheme
of Los Angeles and other cities near
tidewater to obtain terminal rates,

fixing of a maximum rate of 81. "
on less than carload shipments in
first and second class commodities
from the Missouri river, according to
Chairman Jones. This classification
includes dry gods, including cotton
piece goods, drugs and druggists
supplies, clothing and many other
items of merchandise, and the saving
in freight rates to Arizona in five
years will amount to millions of dol
lars. The commissions order not
only allows points in the backhaul
territory to do jobbing business,
but also will result in a clearly de-
fined jobbing territory in Arizona.
Data compiled by the corporation
commission as to existing rates on
less than carload lots from Missouri
river and other points as compared
with the rates under the new order
show the following reductions on dry
goods, including cotton piece goods:
