The shibl,oleth of the Ehinaman is tie word "business." which he seems unable to pronounce. In trying to dc so he makes a sound which resembles "pidgin." Thus the business English he picks up in the open court, which is a jargon of the many languages he hears, has come to be known as pidgin English?

DOUGLAS DISPATCH MAY

Thousands of Dollars are Saved Shippers by
 Traffic Bureaus

Th1u,ands of dollars annually will be saved shippers in the State as a result of the efforts of the trafic bureaus and State Corporation Commission 10 pre- vent the 9 per cent freight rate increase granted the railroads by the Interstate Commission last August, it became known yesterday. Although dispatches from Washington stated that the Interstate Commerce CommiS- sion had oVerruied the Arizona commission refusal to increase lntrastate rates, 1t became known through a telegram from Attor- ney Benton. who represented the state state body at the hearing, that ore, fix, milk. cream, sand. rock, gravel and livestock were not included. and the old rates will bs in eff ct within the 
 States boundaries. this will mean a1 incalculable saving to- Arizona shippers. It was pointed out by Gst E. Buxton. Presi- dent of the Southern Arizona Traffi: Association. Not only will the shippers benefit from the continued freight rate on these comm odities, but they al- ready have saved thousands of dollars because the increased rates were held in abeyance un- til the fl aal decison. Buxton said. Had the local traffic bureau, Tn connection with the Phoenix bureau, not opposed the freight increase, the rates allowed by the Interstate Commerce Com mission would have gone into effect August 26. 1920 Their appeal to the State Commisson, which upheld the bureaus con- tention that rates in Arizona were reasonable. delayed placing the new rates Tn effect While the majority of other states were paying the 2 per cent increase, Arizona shippers were shipping their goods at the old rates while the miIroads carried their ap- oeal the higher commission.
 ''The doubting-Thonases, who have often been heard to remark | that a traffic bureau was use- less organization and that the Corporation Commission was controlled by h milroads. | should take cOgnizanee of this victory" local merchant said. 'In the majority of states the Corporation Commissions made no fight to retain the intrastate rates, and consequently the ship pers paid the 9 per cent in- crease. figure that the saving 1 made in this one victory will pay 1 the expenses of a traffic bureau for ten years"
 The increases which were granted and which take effect
  on or before July l, are; 50 per cent on Pullman fares; p per cent on all freight other than commodities mentioned above and 20 per cent on passenger fares. e
 Interstate Commerce Commis- sion. in granting the railroads an increase, did not consider the individual states, estimating that the states which were paying re- venues would make up the de- ficitin other states where the carriers were operating at a loss.
