However, it is a long step in the direction of such uniformity as may be eventually found practicable or desirable as it shows in parallel columns the different ratings of each article and may thus bring about the harmonization of many ratings which otherwise might be vigorously opposed by intersted shippers fearing some change that might hurt their inter- ‘Official classification territory is that: section of the United States north of the Ohio and Patomic rivers and east of Lake Michigan and a UN drawn from Chicago to St. Louis. This is a territory of greatest density of population and of the largest man- ufacturing interests. Freight rates in this territory are on a mileage basis and the adjustment between the dif- ferent points is strictly according to distance. There are several subdtvi- sions of this territory the prinsipal of which are trunk line territory lying east of Brlialo and Pittsburgh and Central Freight association territory lying west of those points, but time will riot permit going into further de tail, The” yardstick for measuring rates in this territory is the Chicago- New York rate. This {s 160 per cent. The mileage between St. Louis and New York is 117 per cent of the mite age between Chicago and New York and the rates between St. (Louis and New York are 117 per cent of the rates between Chicago and New York. Indianapolis‘New York mileage and Indianapolis-New York rates are 93 per cent of Chicago-New York mile- age and ratés respectively. There are some exceptions to this ‘rule, for in- stance, rates to and from Philadel- phia, Raltimore and Boston are made certain differentials under and over the New York rate on account of cer tain different’als under and over the New. York rate on account of certgin competitive conditions on export and import traffic, but {n the main, the mileage system maintained. Rates in this territory are normally on a lower level per mile than in any other section @& account of the greater den- sity of traffic. ‘There is also-a great- er propértion of less than carload traffic in this territory than in the others and for this reason the offictal e’assification, which contains but six classes (55 compared with ten classes in each of the southern and western classifications, will be found to con- tain « lesser difference between leas carload and carload ratings than the others. Also in this territory there will be found to be’ comparatively fewer commodity rates than in the other territories and that the larger proportion of the tonnage moves at the class rates. “Southern classification —territo:y comprises that portion of the United States lying south of the Ohio and Potomac and east ‘of the Mississippi rivers. Freight rates in this territory present the most complex structure imaginable, This section {s not only Surrounded by navigable waters but has rivers, more or less availabie as transportation highways, flowing thrqpgh all parts of it. The carriers fn this section have had to meet wa- ter competition in all its forms from the large sea-going vessel to t! river flat'boat. Rail rates from New England, New York, etc., to Charles: ton, Savannah, Jacksonville, New Or- feans/and other ports were necessarily made in compotition with the steamer lines operating between those points. Likewise, water competition would be felt at such points as Atlanta, Bir- mingham, and Montgomery on ac- count of the navigable rivers reaching from those points to ths coast, but obviously the water rate to the inte- cior goint being somewhat higher than to the coast point, the rail car- rier gould as far as water competition was concerned, carry higher rates from New York to Atlanta and Bir- mingham for instance, than it did from New York to New Orleans, al- though via its all rail route both At: lanta and Birmingham were interme- fate to New Orleans. “Western classification _ territory comprises that portion of the United QUESTION CLEARED UP Casper Readers Can No Longer Doubt the Evidence. Again and again we have read of strangers in distant towns who have been cured by this or that medicine. But Casper’s pertinent qdsstion has always been “Has anyons here in Casper been cured?” The word of @ stranger lving a hundred miles away may be true, but it canno> have the same weight with us as the wort of our own citizens, whom we know and. resvect, and whose evidence we can so easily prove.

Groupings, however, are neither constant nor uni- form, They change from time to time in response to commercial con- ditions and they vary in their extent on different Unes of traffic. Taking the St. Louis or Miesissipp! (river crossing group as an examp’e, traffic to or from Missour! points it extends from St. Louis to Dubuque; on traffic to or from Colo- rade and Utah points it extends from St. Lotiis to St. Paul; on traffic to or from southwestern territory it ex tends from St. Louis to New Orleans and on traffic to or from the Pacific coast it extends from St. Pau! to New Orleans, the geenral rule being the longer the distance the larger the group. “The differentials used in determin- ing the relative rates from different Sroups were based upon distance and upon ths rates from the east into the different sroups, the underlying prin- of ciple being that the combination of Ux City j Ware, iron, wagons acd other articles which you consume here or job in! the -swrrounding country are badly jout of line with the rates to Chey-! jenne, Denver, Billings. and Crawford And must certainly handicap Cesper merchants in thelr efforts to secure trade in communities which should naturally be tributary to your city.

It was not long, however, before the pres- sure of competition in the eastern territory forced an adjustment under which the rates between that terri- tory and Pacific coast points were want to be caught in the predicament not only put down to the New: York basis but were even scaled under that basis. The carriers then proceeded to group all of the territory east of the Rocky Mountains into nine groups for rate making purposes on Trans-Continental traffic. Group A comprised the territory east of But- falo and Pittsburgh; group B, a small; section including Buffalo, Pittsburg, and vicinity: group C, the territory between Buffalo-Pittsburg and the Indiana Tllino!s state line; group D, Chicago and points east of Mississ- ipp! river; group EB, St. points east of Missouri river; group F, Kansas City and Missouri river points; group G, interior Kansas and Nebraska; group H, Oklahoma, Texas ete., and group J. Denver, Cheyenne, etc. The rates between each group an dthe Pacific coast were each made a differeftial under the group im- mediately east of it. At the western end, however, the carriers for many years made the rates at the Pacific coast points lower than at the inter- lor points; in fact, the customary ba- sis was -o make the rate to the inter- tor point the sum of the rate to the coast point plus the rate back from the coast point to the interior point. For instance, the rate from New York +o Sacramento, Cal., would be the rate from New York to San Fran. ins till However, the de-{ Louis and! oure a reduction in those rates to a; fair and reasonable basis. 1 “The details of such procedure have been gone over with your able traffic committees and your live wire secretary-manager, Mr. Stafford, who has at ‘1 times willingly and prompt: ily assisted us by securing, so far as) he possibly could, any data ‘we ro-| quested him to obtain, and we take! this occasion to comnl'ment you in having such a man to manage the business affairs of your community jin the manner in which a live cham jber of commerce should function. 1s Are have appeared tha: our taken quite some realize that. this is really 2 orimary ‘rate adjustment case requ'ring a study of your entire rate structure, you can possibly ap- preciate %4e magnitude of the’ prop- osition.
