RAILROADS WANT
 BOOST 0F FARES

Not satisfied with revenues they are at present deriving from hauling passengers from points in Kansas to Arizona. several of the larger rail- roads operating lines between the above mentioned points have notified the Arizona corporation commission that they expect to increase all fares five per cent. The new rate is sched- uled to become effective on Decem- Der 15. but if the commission has its in force at all and will be allowed to die a painless death.
 The commission, upon receipt of the notice of increase. at once took the matter up with the interstate com merce commission. and has asked that body to issue an order suspending the publication of the new tariff. The state commission contends that the roads should not be allowed to boost the already high rates which now prevail between Arizona and Kansas
 Any orders that the state commits sion may make will apply orly to intrastate traffic, and when a rate in question is for points outside of Arizona, the matter must be placed in the hands of the interstate com mission.
 Rate Expert Betts of the state com mission is of the opinion that the railroads are being amply paid for all traffic which originates Tn the state of Kansas and terminates in. Arizona, and has sigpified the intention of his department 10 fight the proposed in- crease
