For years prior to the promulga- tion of order No. 19 by the Nebraska state railway commission the rail- roads had in effect freight rates that broke on the Missouri river. Ship- ments going beyond and into Ne- braska took the local rate from the river. The through rate to the Mis- sissippi river, another freight rate breaking point, was a certain propor-, tion of the througrh rates from point of origin, while the rate from the Mississippi to the Missouri was an- other proportion of this through rate. From the Missouri river out into the state the local rate ruled. The Nebraska state commission came along with order No. 19, and while it could not interfere with the rate from the east to the Missonri river, it destroyed the combination rate out into the state. As an illus- tration, the rate into Grand Island is taken and the charges on fourth and fifth class freight given, as these are the classifications under which most of the merchandise is billed. How Rate Worked. Under the old methods that had been effective for years, with the Missouri river as the rate- -breaking line, fourth class freight from the Missouri river sent to Grand Island|= carried a charge of 57 cents per 100 pounds, and fifth class, 48 cents. This included the through charge and the local from the river to desti- nation. Fourth class freight from the Mis- sissippi river to the Missouri took a rate of 27 cents, and fifth class, cents. But order No. 19 broke up | FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1916. the combination on the through rate to Grand Island and fixed the Ne- braska rate at 252-10 and 189-10 cents respectively, or a total rate of 5215 cents and 409-10 cents, tively, on the classification as against 57 and 48 cents per 100 pounds, under the old method of charging Order Hurt Omaha. The operation of order No. 19 was | fought from its inception by both the | jobbers on the west side of the Mis- souri river and by the railroads hav-| ing terminals and operating onto the) west side of the stream. Their con-| tention was that it discriminated | against jobbing centers on the east bank of the river and did not permit such points as Sioux City, Council Bluffs and other places similarly lo-| cated to compete for the Nebraska trade. { Omaha jobbers fought the nr(ler“ contending that it destroyed the busi- ness they had taken years to buila| up and enabled the building up of | small distributing houses at every junction town in the state. As one obber put it: It turns the jobbing trade into a ail order business. If the order stood it would force us to put in hranches at a dozen points in the state. At each of these we would | have to have a man who would take orders for goods and then send these | orders to the nearest warehouse and | from there have them sent to their| destination, instead of concentrating our business at one point and from there sending our shipments to the hundreds of cities and towns in the state.” Unjust Discrimination. It is contended that the enforce- ment of order No. 19 would xlumn Omaha as a jobbing as well a financial center, and in a fed uar\\l leave the state without a metropoli- | tan city within it limits, | The greatest objection to order No. 19 and one upon which the inter state commerce commission based ity finding was that in its promulgation respec The Easiest Way ‘ To End Dandruff || There is one sure wav that never 1 fails to remove dandruff comnletely | and that is to dissolve it. This de- stroys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the {inger tips. By morning, most if not all of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will complete- ly dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that al itching and digging of the scalp will stop in- stantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, f]ouy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This sim- ple remedy has never been known to fail.—Advertisement.
