Government Road Control
Caused Shippers Action In
Ask5ngfor Delayed Decision

classes l to 6 inclusive these roads ask
ed for increases in short hauls and re-
auctions on long hauls which as a
whole represented an average reduc-
ton of per cent. They show that the
commission granted some advances on
short hauls and reduced all long haul
rates lower than the roads proposed,
so that the average prescribed by the
commission is II per cent less than eX-
listing rates, or 4 per cent less than the
roads proposed. On all hauls OF grain,
however, class G roads are given an Is
per cent increase in grain rates.
Would Increase Revenue
Next, the shippers take exception
to the classification prescribed by the
commission. They show that the rail-
roads asked for the adoption of the
southern classification with certain
Georgia exceptions which they (the
railroads. DESIGNATED. They show that
the commission in it's decision declared
that while uniform classification is de-
sirable it should not be secured at too
heavy an expense to the shipping public,
and the commission declared the adop-
ton of the classification proposed by
the railroads would yield greater reVe-
nue. than the commission believed war
ranted. The commission then declared
it's purpose to take from the southern
classification a number of items NOV
ing freely in Georgia and put them in
the Georgia exceptions at ratings fixed by
the commission, so as to avoid the I'M
warranted increase in revenue.
1.-THE shippers agree with the wisdom
of this principle, but they claim that II
was departed from in the making of the
classification and ratings. To support
this claim, they show that the Georgia
exceptions prescribed by the commission
consist of 2,263 ratings; that 1,54S Of
these, or so per cent, are copied YER
batim from southern classification; that
AIS of these or 81 per cent are the ex-
ceptions proposed by the railroads; and
only PSI, or 10 per cent, are classlhca-
tions different from those which the
| railroads proposed
| 1.-The result, claim the shippers, is TO
create the very evil of unwarranted in
crease in revenue which the commission
announced it's purpose to avoid. In 9TH
er words, 80 per cent of the classical
| ton prescribed by the commission is
what the railroads proposed; while only
| 10 per cent is what the commission pre-
scribed.
"Finally, the shippers take exception
| to rates to and from the ports pre-
scribed by the commission. They show
| that increases in class traffic are only
slight, while on commodity traffic tn
! commission not only preScrlDeS rates
which are higher than the railroads
asked. but are higher from Atlanta and
| Georgia points north of Atlanta than
rates from Chattanooga and Nashville
| to Georgia ports. AS to rates from
Georgia ports to Georgia cities, the
shippers show that the commission re-
stores a scale of rates that was volun-
tarily reduced by the railroads thirteen
years ago, and goes further and fixes A
new scale much higher than the scale
which the railroads reduced"
