by the corporation commission Of Okla.
homa that the present schedules are
unreasonable and prejudicial.
The commission In general found that
rates from Oklahoma producing points
on the commodities named were higher
for equal distances to destinations in
Texas than similar rates over similar
distances entirely within the state OF
Texas. The commission also found that
a group plan OF constructing rates in
effect on the commodities named was
resulting in rates slightly too high for
short distances and slightly too low for
long distances in the traffic involved
detailed plan was laid down in the
opinion for the railroads to follow in
altering the rate schedules to prevent
prejudice to Oklahoma shippers and
preference to Texas shippers.
The general effect Of the decision will
be to bring about small reductions in the
Oklahoma-Texas rates. The commission
remabrked that this producing is moi
sufficiently broad in scope for the
accomplishment OF exact justice and
possibly there should be a general in
