REDUCED Freight
RATES ON 'SPUDS'
FROM Pine BLUFF
Cotton Belt Notifies Traffic
Bureau of Reduction On
Potatoes.

The Pine Bluff Traffic bureau has
been informed by the Cotton Belt that
the railroad will Immediately remove
the differential now existing on pota-
toes in carload lots from Pine Bluff
and Arkansas river points, and in the
future the rate On potatoes in car
load lots from those points will be
On the same basis as the rate OF pota
toes from Rob Roy, to interstate
points,
Heretofore. and until this announce
ment from the officials of me road
the rate on potatoes from Pine Bluff
and Arkansas river points has been
) cents per 100 pounds. or a minimum
of $1o to $40 per car, more than the
rate to the same points. from Rob
Roy and other main line points. Com
missioner w. M. Taylor Of the Tsaf-
| fic bureau took the matter up with
the railroad company. which acceded
TO the request to eliminate the differ
entail.
Commissioner Taylor said yes terday
there will be many carloads OF pota-
toes shipped out OF the Pine Bluff ter
,itory this season, and there will be
II or 20 cars shipped by The Markham
brothers at Madding, in addition TO
other large and small shipments. A
saving of SIS to $50 per car will mean
the successful marketing of the en-
tire potato crop of this section. and
the fact that the Cotton Belt Wiling
| lySgreed to TIL removal of the differ
entail. and without necessity Of an
appeal TO the interstate commerce
commission demonstrates the inten
tion of the road to assist in every pos
Sible way the farmers o. this section
| Of the state.
| Commissioner Taylor yesterday re-
ceived notice from the Interstate COM
merce commission tina the commits
SIGN had suspended pending investiga-
tion, proposed increases of ) cents to
16 cents per 100 pounds, in the rates
on fruits and vegetables from Louisia-
ma points % points in Arkansas and
other states.
The Pine Bluff Traffic bureau has
joined in a petition 70 the interstate
commerce commission, for the sus
pension of the proposed increase OF
cents Per 10o pounds in the freight
rate on clean rice from Louisiana and
! Texas points to points in Arkansas.
/ A tention has been called by Com
missioner Taylor to the fact that since
| the interstate commerce commission
some months ago granted to the
eastern roads a general increase o.
pr cent. in freight rates the west
| ern roads have been continuously
seeking 10 bring about increases III
rates on the various commodities. 1t
! is necessary for the traffic bureaus
in the entire west and southwest TO
keep active watch, and to make pro
test against all these e,itions for in
crease, said Mr.. Taylor, because of
the TACT that if the increases are
granted, the western roads will even
tually have rates app cXimately to
per cont, higher tAan those now in eff
feet.
