Excerpt: ...the two fold reason that the tariffs are not all filed with the Commission and are rarely maintained; some of the carriers file these tariffs, while others do not. It was found in the opinion in the case of the New.York Produce Exchange, filed April 30,1898, that the differential in favor of Philadelphia and Baltimore as against New York on grain and grain products ex-lake was 1 cent per 100 pounds, but that there was no differential on provisions. It was also found that at that time the rates from lake ports to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, in 100 pounds, were as follows: Special commodity rates by the bushel were also in effect from these lake ports to the above-named cities. They were in lots of 8,000 bushels and over, to one consignee and one destination, as follows: New York 5 cts. 4 cts. 4J cts. 41 cts. Boston (for export) 5 cts. 4J cts. 4i cts. 3i cts. Philadelphia 4 cts. 3f cts. 3 cts. 3 cts. Baltimore 4 cts. 3 cts. 3$ cts. 3 cts. It will be seen from the above tables that the regular differential upon grain, when shipped in carload lots by the hundred pounds, is 1 cent in favor of Baltimore and Philadelphia; when shipped under the special-commodity tariff by the bushel it is considerably more, being 1 cent per bushel in the case of wheat and corn and one-half cent per bushel in the case of barley and oats. Grain for export would, of course, always be shipped under the commodity tariff. (7 I. C. C, 617.) In a compilation by the auditor of this Commission, entitled " Differential Freight Rates to and from North Atlantic Ports," the auditor, under date of May 12, 1904, said (p. 5): From a comparison of these rates to the several Atlantic ports named, on file with the Commission, it appears that there...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railroad Rates, and Transportation Overland: In a Letter to a Member of Congress The railroad agent, if driven to the wall, will, if he be a frank man, probably admit that the rule adopted in fix1ng freights is to charge all that the commodity in question can bear, and on this simple rule all their tables are constructed. The rule, however, is a false one, and leads to endless injustice. It proceeds on the theory that the railroads are purely private property, for the use of which or for passage over which they may properly and lawfully charge each man all they can get out of him. This theory itself is false. Railroads are public highways just as much as turnpihe roads are, and the whole public are entitled to transit over them on equaland im partial terms. In approaching the subject of railroad freights, therefore, the first thing necessary is to discard this false theory. The benefit to the shipper or the amount he can afford to pay has properly nothing to do with the rate of freight to be charged the true basis of the calculation is the necessary cost of the service. As this is a turning point in the controversy, I may be pardoned for dwelling on it a mo ment in the way of illustration. If it be true that the benefit to the shipper should be taken as the basis of the charge for carrying freight, it must be equally true with respect to the carriage of passengers, and must be equally applicable to all other carriers as to railroad companies. Let us see how that would work. The drayman who takes the goods to the railroad depot should adjust his charges on the same basis as the railroad company. Instead of a uniform rate per load, or per ton, or per day, he should inquire into the profit to be made on the venture he hauls. The tele graph operator who transmits a message (foi telegraph com panies are carriers too), instead of counting the words should inquire into the value of the message to the sender or re ceiver. An instruction to buy or sell a thousandgshares of stock or tons of wheat should pay ten times as much as a like direction for a' hundred, and the state of the market and the likelihood of a profit in the transaction should enhance the charge accordingly. So on railroad trains a man of wealth should pay more for his ticket than one in moderate circum stances, and the nature of the errand should be taken into account. If he anticipates a pecuniary advantage from the journey he should pay more if he travels for mere pleasure, less. If for health, perhaps, the nature and extent of his mal ady, the likelihood of a cure, and the insured value of his life might justly cut a figure in determining his fare. He should, at least, carry at all times a certified copy of his stand ing on the last assessment roll and present an affidavit of his losses and gains since it was made.
