RAILROAD CRAFT IN THE GRAIN SCHEDULE Farmers Receive No Benefits From a Bogus Reduction. The New Freight Rates Do Not Affect Centers of Traific and Are Established for Routes Over Which Grain Is Not Shipped. HE true effect of the new grain rate schedule, as adopted by the Railroad Commission, is rapidly becoming known and will soon be seriously felt by farmers and Under a sham and pretense of forcing the Southern Pacific Com- pany to accept an average reduction of 10 per cent in grain freight rates the Rallroad Commissioners have actually great as 80 per cent. But this means nothing to the farmer, as there is prac- tically no traffic at the points thus fav- ored by the Southern Pacific Company. The tricksters in P. Huntington’s service have been enabled, however, to make a good front and lose nothing by | the deception.
