RATES ON GRAIN
Railroads in West Instructed to
File Schedules Before
September 26.

Readjustments in the rates on
grain and grain products when ship
ped into Arkansas from Kansas City
or from Oklahoma producing points
were ordered today by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The present rates from Kansas City
to Little Rock are reasonable, the
commission held, but rates from the
same point of origin to Cotter. Bates
willie. Newport and similarly located
points should be less than those
charged to Little Rock.
On the other hand, the rates to Hot
Springs, Pine Bluff, Prescott, Warren
and a number of other points should
be formed, the commission ruled. by
adding amounts ranging up to 6 cents
a hundred pounds to the Little Rock
rate.
The revision of the rates from Ok
lahoma must conform to a distance
scale. the commission ruled, which in
general will decrease the present cost
of shipments of grain into Arkansas.
The scale allows a charge of cents
per hundred pounds for distances of
ten miles. with proportionate In
creases ranging up to 40 cents per
hundred pounds for distances up to
500 miles Roads were Instructed to
file new rates on or before September
IS Rates on hay are also to be fiXetl
under a somewhat similar distance
scale applying between Oklahoma and
