PROTEST WOOL RATE CUT

Claiming that the present high
rate on wool from Arizona to east
ern points in conjunction with the
proposed reductions from California
terminals will more than wipe out
the beneficial effect of any emery
ency tariff on this commodity, the
Arizona Corporation Commission
has prepared petition to be filed
with the interstate commerce COM
mission, vigorously protesting the
proposed transcontinental reduc-
tions
The present rate on wool from
California terminals to New York is
$1661a per hundred and this rate
is promised to be cut to $1.50, The
present rate from Winslow is 1924
and from Maricopa to New York,
1888
In its petition Of protest to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
the Arizona commission points out
THAT wool growing is one of the
principal industries of Arizona. It
is matter of common knowledge
that practically all the wool ship
ped from Pacific Coast terminals is
imported from Australia and New
Zealand and other foreign coun
tries, and to permit the continuance
of existing high rates from Arizona
and intermediate points between the
coast terminals and allow substan
tial reductions in the Pacific coast
rates would have the effect of de-
feating the purpose of the emergen
