Proposed Increase in Railroad Rate
Affecting Shipments To Arizona Oil
Refineries Suspended by Commission

I the Rio Grande Oil company, of
Phoenix, and the Independent Pc
trOleum Marketers association, Of
Los Angeles, opposed the change
and the Interstate Commerce Com
mission ordered the classification
suspended until August 26, 1926,
pending hearing of the matter.
The hearing was neld in Los An
geles in the latter part of Febru-
airy. The Arizona Corporation
Commission entered the case as in
tervenors on behalf OF the shippers
in Arizona.
At the hearing, it was brought
out that the oil known as "refin-
cry tops" was the crude oil after a
first distillation, and that it con-
tanned gasoline, engine distil)ate.
kerosene, and a small quantity of
gas oil. The refineries in Arizona.
it was brought out, shipped the
refinery tops" to Phoenix, and re-
fined it for the gasoline. kerosene,
and the engine distillate.
The railroads contended that they
had allowed the oil to be classed as
gas oil and to be shipped under a
rate of 385 cents a hundred from
Los Angeles to Phoenix because Of
an order of the California commits
sion.
It was stated at the hearing that
if the increase was allowed tie in
dependent refineries in Arizona
would have to go out of business.

merce Commission does not close
the case as it will allow the rail-
roads to file new schedule If

Gas Prices Fail to
Decrease Despite
Freight Rate Cut

PHOENIX = Since August 6,
when new freight rates on gasoline
went into effect between the Los
Angeles district refineries and Ar
izona, the state Corporation Com
mission has been receiving inquir-
les from consumers who wanted to
know when the saving to the pro-
ducers would be passed on to the
general public, Commissioner Clay
pool stated Tuesday.
"Thus far" said Commissioner
w. D. Claypool, 1--WE have been
obliged to answer that we are with
out jurisdiction and that officially
we have no information Unoffi-
cially and individually we learn
from authoritative sources, how
ever, that the producers have been
unable to come to an agreement on
just how much of the reduction
made by the railroads should be
passed and how much absorbed.
Thus far, the result has been that
it is all being absorbed
"The rate has been reduced be-
tween Los Angeles and Phoenix
from 98.5 cents the hundredweight
to 80 cents. One gallon of gasoline
weighs approximately 6.6 pounds
and, if you carry out the necessary
arithmetic, you will find that this
reduction on the hundredweight is
equivalent to 123 cents on the gal
lon, For other Arizona points, how
ever, it ranged as high in some in
stances as q: cents.
eve are reliably informed that
certain of the oil companies bene-
fitting by the lower freight rates
now prevailing proposed a general
reduction of cents on the gallon
for all Arizona.
eff you will refer to the public
record of the proceedings had be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, it will appear plainly that
the producers largely based their
application on the injustice worked
to Arizona consumers by the rates
then in effect Moreover, we have
in our files letters from officials of
one oil company which make the
case for the consumer even plain
er. These, I think, would be hard
ly proper to make public at this
time, but the public record is open
to anybody"
The record shows that on May 3,
the commission prescribed lower
rates, but that the railroads asked
for rehearing. On July 25. the
oil companies opposed rehearing
and asked that, in any event, the
rates already ordered go into i'm
mediate effect. No order from the
commission has yet come down but
on August 9 the carriers voluntar-
lily reduced the rates to correspond
with the May order.
THE commission having found
the rates unreasonable" Mr.. Clay
pool stated, sit seems that the rates
which the commission prescribed"
ON May 1, 1926" SHOULD be put
into effect, to the end that the ship
pers and the Arizona consumers of
these products may have immedi-
ate relief from the unreasonable,
burdensome and excessive rates
which they have borne for so many
years
