 RATE DECISION
Refuses To Sanction an h. crease on Fruits from
 Arkansas.

On March 30, the Interstate Commerce Commission at Wash ington approved a general revis- ion of the freight rates on fruits and vegetables from Southern states to Northern and Middle Western markets. The Commis- sion found that most of the rail- roads proposals for a readjust- ment of rates were justified but in certain specific instances the proposals were disapproved.
 The Commission found that the increased rate on fruits from Arkansas was not justified.
 Messrs. North and Mood who represented the shippers in this territory before the Interstate Commerce hearing in St. Louis ast fall, were able to produce sufficient evidence to show that increase in the fruit rate from this territory would be unfair.
 In their decision the Commis- sion says, 'Messrs. North and Moody representing theJudsonia- Bald Knob district, testified that their keenest competition in the handling of strawberries comes from the Humboldt, Tenn, dis trict. Mir. North's corrected Ex- hibit No. l is a comparison of the present and proposed rates from group 6, in which Judsonia and Bald Knob are located, with the present and proposed rates from competing districts to the princi- pal consuming points which are fairly typical of the entire situa- tion. This exhibit shows that the rate today from Judsonia to St. Louis, a distance of 296 miles, is 45 cents. The carriers propose to advance it to 55 cents, while the present rate from Humboldt to St Louis, a distance of 254 miles is 39 cents, and it is proposed to

MEETING OF FRUIT
 GROWERS ASSN.
Time Limit on First Run Ber- ries Is Extended
 One Hour.

A called meeting of the Jud- sonia Fruit and Vegetable Grow CTS Association was held last Saturday in Beals Hall.
 The meeting was called for the purpose of considering the advis- ability of dividing the country into zones so as to facilitate the handling of berries at the loading dock. There has been some talk relative to zones, that is, those living in sections close to town would be required to be at the loading dock earlier than those living further out. It was decid- ed that on account of the decreas- ed acreage this year that the crop could be handled in satis- factory manner on the same plan as last year but the time was ex- tended from 6 o'clock to 2 for shippers to reach the loading dock, those reaching there after seven going on the second run should there be one. This will give pickers an hour longer in the fields.

crease of state commissions in recent years congress will in time be con- pelled to exercise it's power in the premises. To unify regulation there should be complete, harmonious, con sistent and related system. We be- lieye the best, if not the only practical plan, is the federal incorporation of railroads by general law. which will make incorporation hereunder com pulsory, thus imposing on all railroad companies throughout the United States the same corporate powers and restrictions with respect to their finan- cial operations and the same duties and obligations to the public and the government, so that every investor will know precisely what every railroad corporation may and may not lawfully so''
 Judge Lovett contended that the so- ution of these problems and difficult ties rested with congress- He told the committee that under the constitution the authority of the federal .sovern ment is paramount, that cor ..ass has hhe power to legislate for |. entraliZed
