INCREASE TODAY.
EIGHT PER CENT ON ALL PAS
sENeER FARES AND THREE
PER CENT ON FREIGHT

Effective today, the new war tax
affecting railroad rates, will become
effective, and it will cost you more to

it can be seen that this new war tax
OF the governments is to catch you III

naming at home CT sending messages
by mail or wire.
The increase in the railroad rates
will be eight per cent in passenger
fares and thee per cent in freight
charges. For instance, beginning to-
day, If you desire to take 4 trip to Sar
vannah, it will cost you about SIG
The regular rate to that city. is about
$500, and the per cent added will
run it up to 16 cents. OF course il
you have planned a long trip, then the
increase will be more noticeable,
The increase in freight rates will
be three per cent, and this will mean
a considerable sum, especially tc
those receiving carload shipments.
The railroads are to keep an ac
curate record of all the money de
rived from the increase, and will nave
to turn it over to the government
monthly for war purposes.
