new RAIL TARIFFS
ARE NOW IN EFFECT
Distance Rates on Freight Now
Apply To and From In
terror Points. ~
ORDER NO. 10 Is NO. MORE

The Clarke scale" applying to
freight rates within the state, be-
came effective today, the tariffs all
being in the hands Of the agents. This
scale going into effect ends the liti-
cation between the Nebraska Rail
way commission and the railroads
that has been going on for two or
more years. The scale is put into
effect under instructions from the In
terstate Commerce commission, fol-
lowing decision that was handed
down last August.
The Clarke scale" does away with
order No. l9 Of the State Railway
commission and raises the freight
rates from the Missouri river to east
ern Nebraska points, but reduces
them to points in the central and
western parts of the state. 1t puts
the rate on a mileage basis. 1t also
puts all Missouri shipping points on
parity with Omaha, where the dis
lance is the same. However, it is
commended by the railroads that on
the whole Omaha jobbera are bene-
fitted by the decision.
Other Cities Protest.
Order No. 10; as promulgated by
the Nebraska Railway commission,
sought to give Omaha an extra state
rate that other Missouri river points,
particularly Kansas City, St. Joseph,
Council Bluffs and Sioux City, CON
tended was discriminatory and shut
them out of the state. They con-
tended that the Missouri river acted
as an embargo, and with the rate
that was charged for getting freight
from their trade centers to destination
in Nebraska, prohibited them from
coming to the west side OF the river
in making deliveries.
The jobbing centers on the east
side Of the Missouri river made their
showing before the. Interstate Com
merce commission and won, the
Clarke scale" being the outcome.
Under the scale, as applied to the
tariffs issued, instead of freight going
into zones on certain rate, each
shipment goes on the mileage basis,
that is, the charge is made on so
much per mile.
