The railroads -have advanced their published rates from Whiting In to northern Indiana and Michigan by about ' I to ' I cents -per ;. hundred pounds, and. have , put, tha rates on practically an equality,, distance con edered, -with those jfrom Toledo" and more easterly 'points.

The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad has resumed 'tha practice of prorating on oil, thereby reducing me average freight .charge to Independent refiner's of western Pennsylvania and Ohio on shipments Into a large 4 part 5 of Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, by about I cents per 109 sounds. . This will materially Increase their oppor tunity for competition with the Stand-' ard Oil. Company In -that territory. The Inter-State commerce commission recently denounced the former prac tice and recommended a change. ' i. -i a urge numoer or the secret rates of Csllfornla railroads have been published as open ratea- While un der the contract system of selling fuel oil generally employed In. that region the concerns formerly enjoying the se cret , rates continue to benefit from ' them, this revision or tariffs obviously operates to the benefit of Independent shippers on future business. A num ber of discrepancies In open rates on the Pacific coast have also been adjusted. - i . . . . " . THE OOODr RESULTS. r - j ' The changee above described, with mora' than - tha ; Increase of freight chargea to the Standard. They show In striking 'fashion the good which has already resulted from this Inves tigation... They .put independents up on a fairer. footing. and make com petition possible in territories here tofore inaccessible. , i - Nevertheless, the widespread dis criminations in open rates still In fores, .leave the Independents at se rious disadvantage. The investiga tion -has only - Incidentally touched 8tata shipments from distributing cents!-, : particularly in less than car loads. The few instances examined suggest the probability of discrimina tions ou such ablpments which, taken In connection with through .trarno, may result in discriminations on inter State business. -v (;- ,'' yr".' ,1 havs dted theo particular in stances to show the- varioua methods by which discriminations' are obtain ed, and to call particular attention to methods which. If legal, are mere devlcoa to obtain exactly the wam result a would , be obtained by re bates paid on Inter-SUte buslnesa, Any freight discrimination, whether It be Bute or Inter-State, tenda to give con trol of markets to tho preferred ship per, and make monopoly possible. If existing law 'merely prohibits a spe clsl device for obtaining discrimina tion, and permits the same result, to be accompllHhed In, a different way, then the legislation Is to that extent a sham,---' ' r .. .. N ''. Thla investigation haa shown very clearly on glaring defect in tha Inter- State commerce law, vis., tne -mem- od of filing and publishing tariffs, ai though a tariff or a rat ha ben filed with tha commission in compll- anca with the term of tha law, no1 but tha favored shipper may Know of Its existence. Tariffs may be made nd rates may , by combined in such manner ai to make It practically im nosslbl for the ordlnsry shipper to And them. As long as the Stat ratea may be required to -t made public, and shippers use such rates In com- blnatlorl with tnter-suts rates, an manner of devlcea to evade the pur pose of the law are possible.. All Stat ratea. used jn connection wnn inter state shipments should be filed with the interstate commerce commission. and a radical change should be made In tho . direction of simplifying tariffs and in methods of posting snd filing them. Very respectfully, AMES RUDOLPH GARflELD, Commissioner of Corporations, 1 Tha President. Struck by falling Pole. Correspondence of The Observer. t . ' Winston-Salem, May S.

His work with the strlck was also good. Jus tus.made two hits out of four times up.-; Never was tbers anv real danger of the South Carolinians winning, but twice they -came nesr scoring, hav ing the bases full with only one out once.
