WHY A FREIGHT RATE ADVANCE?
lnIlrnol

"dll OIL CCt JUL AoA.J
To the general proposition that the
railroads are entitled to charge more
than the present rates for their serv-
ices while war price for labor and
materials obtain, the shippers, as a
whole, have offered little opposition.
1t is safe to say that a majority OF
them concede that an advance in
rates is not only justified in fairness
to owners of railroad securities, but
is actually required to enable the
carriers to perform their vital func.
ton in time of national crisis.
Such opposition as there is pro-
ceeds, first, from groups of shippers
who assert that fiat percentage ad-
vance will bar their access to mar
kets in competition with nearer pro-
ducers; and second, from small but
active experienced coterie Of state
commissioners and rate attorneys who
may, without unmerited disrespect, be
referred to as professional objectors
Just claims of the first class the COM
mission may be relied upon to recog'
nize through notifications of the pro-
snosed traffic or pOstponement of their
effective date in specific cases. .
All of the. elaborate and at times
confusing statistics of Hast weeks

into nutshell by saying that if the

bers $4,000, 100000 in additional facili'
ties since that time.
Heretofore the American method Of
rate regulation has been to refuse to
look to the clearly indicated develop
ments of the near future and to re-
quire the railroads to justify their
pleas for higher rates upon hardships
actually experienced. In 1914, the

YEARS OLD YESTERDAY

The city Of Mt. Sterling was 125
years old yesterday, the Gtneral
Assembly having granted the city
charter on December IL, 1902. IL
was then a part Of Clark county so
it will be seen that the city Of Mt.

county. During the century and y
quarter Of the city's existence il
has made rapid strides in the edu-

world, and today the city is repre-

sons and daughters who are today
