CORPORATION BOARD
WILL PROTEST RATE
RAISE BY RAILROADS
New Tariff Would Add Big
Sum to Cost of Living in
Arizona If Railroads Are
Permitted to Have Way

If the Arizona Corporation commits
sion has its way, and the Interstate
Commerce commission heeds its plea,
the people of Arizona will not have
to submit to increased rates threat
ened to be put in effect by the Santa
Fe and the Southern Pacific, from
points in Oregon and California TO
points in Arizona, applying mainly TO
canned goods and foodstuffs
The commission has had under ad-
visement for some time tariff recent
" published by the Santa Fe, raising
rates from coast points to Arizona in
some cases as high as 10 per cent.
Jack Gavin, acting rate clerk for the
commission has been working on a
complaint to be made to the Interstate
Commerce commission for some days.
In this complaint, Gavin shows that If
the new rates are put into effect on
March / as the tariff contemplates,
the people of Arizona will be forced
to carry 2 heavier burden than they
can stand.
The rates to Arizona points on beans
will be increased from II per cent to
19 per cert, canned goods from per
cent to 16 per cent, canned salmon
from II per cent to II per cent, fruits,
etc, from per cent to II per cent,
condensed milk, 4 per cent to 10 per
cent, lumber from 4 per cent to 10
per cent, this last figure Of increase
mentioned to apply to Clifton and
Morenci, only.
The difference in the per centage of
increase is caused by different rates
applying to various towns in the state.
The complaint which the Corpora
ton commission is making to the In
terstate Commerce commission sets
forth that there is no differential in the
new rates as compared with the Ari-
IONA rates and rates applying to New
York points The railroads do not give
any reason for the contemplated in
crease and the commission states that
the railroads, according to reports
filed with them on June 80, 1916, have
been enjoying an unusual era of pros
perity never before known in the
history of the country.
If the new rates go into effect, it
will mean a material increase in the
retail cost of foodstuffs in Arizona.
The complaint states that there is no
reason for boosting the rates. as the
present tariffs have been in effect FOR
some time, and have proven satisfac
tory. Furthermore, the proposed rates
are termed 'unjustified, unreasonable
unjust, excessive and discriminatory
The complaint will be sent TO the
Interstate Commerce commission at
once and il is expected that that body
viii suspend the proposed rates until
a hearing can be held at which repre-
sentatives of the railroads and the cor
peration commission will be present.
