HIGH FREICHTS
ON OIL HINDER
INDIANA FIRMS
Chicago Industries Profit
by Lower Rates on
Petroleum.
This is the last Of a series on freight
rates as they affect Indiana industry
and business.
BY CHARLES CARLL


One attempt to obtain an equali-
cation of freight rates for Indiana
is case relating to alleged NAL
adjustment in rates on petroleum
and petroleum products now before
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. The Indiana State Chamber
of Commerce recently filed a brief
in the case stating the situation rel
ative to Indiana consumers.
The rates objected to are for hauls
from within the territory east of the
Mississippi River, South of the Ohio
River and east of the Indiana-I Hi
nois State line and from points
without to points within this terri
tory
Indiana's stand in the matter is
to keep joint through rates put into
effect by the commission on a tenn
porary order and for further re-
auctions.
Chicago Pays Less
The State has, at present, a rate
Of SO cents a hundred pounds on
refined oil from the territory re-
ferred to, while Chicago is paying
So cents. 1t is petitioned that the
entire western half of Indiana have
36-cent rate, and that the cost
to South Bend, Richmond and Fl.
Wayne should not exceed 3912 cents.
Investigation of the case revealed
that the Citizens Gas Company of
this city used approximately $4,000
gallons of gas oil from the western
oil fields, and from July l, 1925, to
the same date in 1926, the company
used 4,728,330 gallons.
The distance from the produc-
ing point to Indianapolis was 1877
miles, to Chicago 1888 miles. The
cost Of the transportation over this
period was 3515 cents to Indianapo-
lis, while to Chicago it was 291z
cents.
Cents More for Oil
Figures show that in 1921 the
gas company paid $17,085 in rates
for its location here compared to
the cost to Chicago, $23,954 in 1922;
$12,860 in 1923 and $14,544 in 1924.
The Kokomo Steel and Wire
Company is another large Indiana
user Of fuel oil, obtaining it from
Tulsa, Okla. The manufactured
product is sold in competition with
plants in the Cleveland, Pittsburgh
and Chicago group in addition to
Minnesota and Wisconsin firms.
Thu Indiana company, however,
paid 6 cents more for the fuel than
the Chicago competitor and in 1925
this firm paid $24,713 more than
would have been needed if the COM
pany were located in Chicago.
The writer was shown the &C
counts Of an automobile firm located
less than fifty miles from Indian
apolis up to June 80, 1926. Between
July l, 1925, and the 1926 date, this
company used 438 carloads of fuel
oil. Under the rates then in effect
the auto company paid $24,96O out
in excess freight rates compared to
the Illinois schedule
Other data obtained showed that
over a years period ending in
1926, South Bend company used
226 cars of fuel oil from the Okla
homa fields. Tt was revealed that
this company paid 1924 a year more
for the oil than did competitors in
Rockford, III.

TN the hope this much needed
improvement might be provided !
have in the last three or four years
refused at a financial sacrifice sew
eral advantageous offers of other

Criticises Meager Budget
I'm view of repeated discourage
ments, I can ony trust that an
aroused public opinion will support
efforts of my successor and the
board in obtaining as good as ade-
quate educational facilities of this
character as are supplied by other
cities Of similar size"
Commissioners Theodore F. Won
negut and Charles w. Kern criticized
budget handicaps to Rush in his
work.
"The board congratulates you of
course, on your selection for this
wonderful opportunity" Vonnegut
said, "but we cannot congratulate
the city that has made it possible
to lose you"
ON every occasion the library
budget was attacked, Rush was on
hand prepared to show what was
needed" Kern said, yet he was de-
MED a part of the necessary funds"

COOP POOL ON
MILK PROVES
SUCCESS HERE
Sixty Per Cent Of Supply Is
Provided Through New
Association.

Most of the Indianapolis residents
who view cooperative marketing as
some wild-eyed plan associated with
the wheat fields of North Dakota
are getting their milk through a
coop" association every morning.
Six of every ten bottles of milk
placed on indianapolis doorsteps
these April mornings come from the
milk pool of the Indianapolis dis
trict, the Dairy Producers Ex-
change, operated in connection with
the Indiana Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, it was disclosed today.
This striking example of coopera-
tive marketing has been accom-
plished within the last month I'M
der direction Of Carl L. Hedges, who
also is in charge of the Indiana
Dairy Marketing Association at
Muncie.
Most of Supply in Pool
Approximately so per cent of In
dianapolis' milk supply is coming
through the pool" Hedges said to-
day. Producers in the eight coun-
ties in this district supplied 1860
gallons of milk to local distributors
Monday through this pool.
This figure will mount to around
$4,000 gallons daily within a few
weeks, when all the producers and
all the distributors are brought into
the plan"
Thirty-five hundred producers are
in the district, comprising Boone,
Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks,
Johnson. Marion, Morgan and Shell
by Counties, Hedges said.
Distributors at first were hesitant
about contracting for their milk
through the pool, Hedges said, but
rapidly are being converted the
idea, seeing in its operation advan-
tages mutual with those gained by
the farmer.
Saves on Transportation
This plan,' Hedges explained,
effects a large saving on transpor-
tatlon, for it avoids duplication OF
routes. 1t places the farmers, as a
group, in a better position to bargain
with distributors, as a group; as
sures distributors of regular and
adequate supply; and relieves both
buyer and seller of the evils Of cut
throat competition. Sellers get the
same price and buyers pay the same
price. Prices are based on Chicago
butter"
When the supply exceeds the de-
mand. Hedges said, the surplus goes
to the Indiana Condensed Milk
Company and waste is avoided.
Distributors, creamerieS and ice
cream companies now supplied I'M
der contract with the Dairy Pro-
ducerS Exchange include Capitol
Diaries, Inc; William H. Roberts &
Sons Dairy, Ballard Ice Cream Com
pany BroWder Ice Cream Company,
