(a)-"Without p. c. means that the
rates Of the Class c roads-A., B.
& A., G. of Ga, S. A. L. and South
ern Ry.-in Georgia are 25 per cent
less than their mileage rates on Class
es 4, and 6, respectively.
(b)-"The special South Carolina
rates are substantially higher than the
Georgia rates.
Therefore, while the rates on
Glasses l to in Georgia may be high
er than the same Glass rates in other
States, as a practical matter, due to
the lower Classification In Georgia,
the actual rates paid by the Georgia
important articles.
In its opinion in case brought by
the Atlanta Freight Bureau against
Georgia rates, the Railroad Commits
sion of Georgia In 1904 said: The
Commission finds upon investigation
that the rates promulgated by 1t are
as a whole lower than the rates es-
tablished by the Commissions of 9TH
er Southern States. In the investiga-
ton of this case 1t was alleged, and
not denied, that the Classification OF
the Railroad Commission OF Georgia
contains items rated lower than any
other Classification, as follows: South
ern Classification $50 items, Alabama
315, Mississippi $50, Tennessee 1893,
North Carolina 1877, South Carolina
POI. Florida 1885, A comparison of
the Georgia Classification with other
Classifications is more favorable to
Georgia at this time than it was in
1904, because of the fewer exceptions
to the Southern Classification now In
effect in other Southern States.
Propose Thousands Of Reductions
On referring to the disparity be-
tween the methods of constructing
joint rates in North Carolina and
South Carolina, as compared with the
methods in Georgia, the Statistical
Bureau fails to mention the important
fact that the railroads have proposed
to observe the long and short haul
principle in making rates in Geor-
gia, which, If permitted, will eliminate
in large measure the combination bas-

GEORGIA FARM LOAN
ASSOCIATION MET IN MACON

MACON, June 14.-The annual meet
ing of the Georgia Farm Loan associa-
ton was held at the Hotel Lanier in
Macon, with thirteen members present,
coming from Savannah, Atlanta, Chat
tanooga, Americus and Marietta. The
meeting was given over to general
discussion of farm loans in Georgia.
o. A. Coleman, of Macon, was unan-
ipously elected president. The other
officers are G. R. Ellis, of Americas,
first vice president; H. M. Smith, of
Macon, second vice president, and B. ].
Dasher, of Macon, secretary and treas
urer. The next convention will be
held at Tybee Island in 1917.
Mr. Coleman succeeds ]. H. Hollo-
man, of Atlanta, as president, while
G. R. Ellis succeeds M. M. Sessions

After all business was transacted
the members adjourned for lunch and
later left for their homes.

neighboring states, and by interstate
shippers, we have no two systems Of
rates alike, and, as consequence,
there are numerous determinations
and inequalities, which the railroads
are seeking to remove with the CO.
operation of the various state regula-
tory bodies.
Would Remove Determinations
at is for the purpose Of perfecting
a rate adjustment for the entire South
east, which would eliminate such dis
examinations and discrepancies be-
tween intrastate rates in the different
states, and between intrastate rates
and interstate rates, that the railroads
have proposed the readjustment in
Georgia which they are now asking
the Railroad Commission of Georgia
to approve, and, with this same pur-
pose in view, they are submitting SINH
lar petitions to the Commissions Of
other Southern States.
I'VE are confident that the read
Justment we are proposing would give
an harmonious and reasonable system
Of rates under which every shipper
would pay like charges for similar
services, both intrastate and inter-
state.
"Manifestly, such a readjustment
cannot be made without increasing
rates between points where they are
now relatively low, and on commodi-
ties which do not pay their just share
| Of the cost Of transportation. Such
fair and harmonious adjustment
can never be reached without increas-
ing some rates since it would bankrupt
the railroads to make an adjustment
by the only other process-that of re-
ducing every rate to the level of the
lowest rate in effect in any state in
the Southeastern territory.
1--WE think it is only fair, and we
are asking no more than justice, when
we again request that the shippers
Of Georgia, and the public generally,
suspend judgment in regard to this
matter until the entire question has
been threshed out before the Rail
road Commission of Georgia"

COMPARISONS NOT CORRECT
Shippers Are Asked To Suspend Judg-
ment Until Commission Looks
into Revision Question

Atlanta, Ga.-Replying to state
ments which they declare are in
complete and wholly misleading, the
following statement on the proposed
revision of freight rates in Geor-
gia has been issued by Messrs. E. T.
Lamb, president of the Atlanta, Biz
mingham and Atlantic Railway, R. A.
Brand, fourth vice president of the
Atlantic Cost Line, w. A. Winburn,
president of the Central of Georgia, ].
B. Munson, vice president of the Geor-
gia Southern and Florida, C. r. Caps,
first vice president of the Seaboard
Air Line, and J. M. Culp, vice presi-
dent Of the Southern Railway:
Articles and editorials have recent
ly appeared in number of Georgia
newspapers, based upon a statement
given out by the Statistical Bureau OF
the Georgia Shippers Association,
and purporting to show that the aver
age OF the present and proposed rates
on Glasses l to in Georgia for GER
tain distances are high as compared
with the rates in Virginia, North Caro-
lima and South Carolina, and pointing
out the different methods prescribed
by the Commissions Of North Carolina
and of South Carolina for making
joint or combination rates.
"The figures presented in this arti-
Gle do not fairly represent the meas
ure of the freight charges in these
States as compared with Georgia.
in the first place, no mere compari-
son of the figures applicable in the
different States on Glasses 1 to cor
rectly reflects the actual freight
charges on the traffic that moves, be-
cause of the widely different freight
Classifications prescribed by the
several States.
Furthermore, the great bulk Of the
traffic that moves within the South
ern States is handled under other
Glass rates or under commodity rates.
"This is especially true in Georgia,
and the Railroad Commission of Geor-
gia prescribes rates on commodities
that move in great volume, such as
fertilizer, fertilizer material, iron and
steel articles, forest products, brick
and melons, that are substantially
lower than the prevailing rates on the
same articles in other Southern
States.
Georgia Rates Lower
1.-THE Classification prescribed by
the Railroad Commission of Georgia
is lower than that of any other South
ern State. The following Classified
ton comparison is illustrative Of this

RUSSIANS ROLL
HEAVY OFFENSE
AGAINST TEUTON

The Russian offensive against the
southern portion Of the eastern front
on yesterday appeared at a point about
seventy-five miles north of Pinsk. The
Germn war Office, reporting this fact
says Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's
forces repulsed several massed Rus
sian infantry attacks, with heavy loss
es to the attackers The Petrograd
war Office states the Russians have oc-
cupied a position twenty miles north
east of Czenrnowitz, the capital of Blu
kowina. Six thousand more prisoners
were taken by the Russians yesterday,
and Czernowitz is apparently on the
eve of falling before the invaders. The
Russians are reported to have cut the
Austrians' communications north of the
city.
A violent artillery engagement oc-
Cured last night in the vicinity of
Vaux on the Verdun front, which the
Germans captured several days ago,
says the French war Office. No infan-
try action followed the artillery attack,
however. The French attacked and
cal ried small German post near Ven
izel, east of Scissors, and number OF
Germans were captured in a raid at
Songren in the Vosges, today.
Italian troops have repulsed Austrian
attacks along the Posila line in the
Southern Tyrol, says a Rome official
statement. The Austrian attacks fol-
lowed extensive artillery preparation.
