New Theatre Wednesday Night A REVISION OF SOUTHERN ' FREIGHT RATES-REASONS AND PRINCIPLE FOR SAME Atlanta, Ga.. Feb. 4. ? The recent order of the Interstate" Commerce Cqpunlssion, enforcing the Long and 3hort Haul clause of the Act to regn late Commerce haa 'made necessary general readjustment of freifi tee throughout the Southeastern territory, according to* the folowlm statement addressed "To the Peo ple Served by the Railroads of the JOltUl/' MX .Inrt tJ J. K. Kenly, df the Atlantic Coast Mne, W. A. Winburn of the Central Of Georgia, M. H. Fmith of -the Lou isville and Nashville^ W, J. Harahan >f the Seaboard Air Line, and Pair tax Harrison of the Southern: To the People Served by the Rail roads of the 8outh: An order of the Interstate Com ?ucrce Commission, pursuant to re tirements of Federal law, compels i general revision of Southern freight rates. It is proper thst the >eople of the South should be in 'ormed Ss to the roaeons-for this re vision and the principles upon -which t is befog made. Excepting the Norfolk and Wee tern, Chesapeake and Ohio, and Vir ginian Hallways, which lie In Offi Jal Classification territory, the rail -oads of the Southeast receive vir tually no part of the Ave per cent 'nor eases in rates recently aquie? oed In by the Interstate Commerce Commission. While the. need of he oarriere of the South for lncreas ?d revenue is certainly no less than a that of the Northern and Eaaterr -oads, that need is in no way relat ed to the revision of rate* now In progress which arises solely from he necessity of more nearly con 'ormlng to the so-called "long and fhort haul clause " of the law as a - 'jt ended In 1910, and as now eon .trued by the Intestate Commerce Commission. The original sot. to Regulate Com nerce forbade the making of lower ateo for a longer than for <a short tf distance within the same line 01 oute .under substantially ths same 'ircu instances and conditions. Ths -carriers were freo to meet compttt iofi aa they found U and were se inired to answer only upon th. omplalnt as to the reanoueblensisr <>f their acts. The amendment of 1910 deprived lia carriers of the right to Jnftlat. | departures from the long knd shor haul requtrement, and they may no ongwr meet competition as they ind It if the long and short haul -?iuiracnett of the law 1s Involved, wnlesa they osm first obtain tbs ap ftrovsl of the Intertsat* Commerce They were furthermore required [by this change in the law. to apply to the ComraWma for authority to In feroe rates existing at of Its passage which oontm tened the long and abort haul prtr rate structure of the net the creation of traffic this sonar all op It in an Inheritance from those wtio built the roada, and finds ita explanation largely la (he geography Of the Sotth, and In a public polled which enoouragea #a creation, ' The cbangee now hi progress are ^bt of the carriers' choice. Water competition, the mo^ Im portant factor la bringing abodt de parture from the long and short haul principle of the tow. has been peculiarly influential on the rate adjustments of the South, surround ed aa It la on threa etdes by navig able water and penetrated by nt.y lgsble streams. Termini . of the lirst roads were on navigable water? and rates between those termini were from the beginning depressed because of this wator competition. When, subsequently, railways, were extended. to the Inferior, distributing points wire thereby created, w'uer< there arose competition of two or more irnrkett. or of two or mori farrleri., resulting <n depression in rates, even when there was no di frecl water competition. These condition* undoubtedly contributed to thfl commercial ant* Industrial development of the Inter ior of the South, and, while they re suited in mors frequent departure* from the lonr and ehort hant prin ciple of the law, the carriers h?'l every reason to believe that I heir practice had the approval of tfce pub Mc, even when It was not directly the result of public demand. Now. the Interstate Oommereo Commission, pursuant to t4& re ?tulrementa of an emended la*, has concluded an Inquiry Into rule/ frem the Eastern Seaboard, inriud ing tha Virginia cttiaa, from Bomb Atlantic and Oulf Ports, and -f-oir Ohio and MlMlsslppi River Cross ings into the Southeast and Missis sippi Valley territory. As a result ?ha Commission has la large meas ure oondemned existing departures from the long and short haul require mont, except where instilled by com petttlon beyond the control of the rail carriers, a pharas which cans ?a be restricted to mean direct or 'ndireot water competition. Obviously, the removal of Ine quamiea condemned by the Com mission. br reductions only, would taealt In diaaMer to tha carriers. Tide fact la recognised by the Com mission, which, in ita review of tha situation, stated: "It la entirely clew that the revo nues of a large percentage ef the Inaa In tbe Southeastern t.rrttojy would be so Impaired by each a prooadare a* In mske.lt Impossible (or than ta meat their operating ex penses. tus and axed charges and " ITS thslr stockholders sven a sdsrato ratara." It la aqaally obvtooa that It woul 1 ha aaafair to pun lab the Carrier ?, in conforming to a changed public for acta Which at tha time of warn approved by public rmrt Pace.) LoComte and Flesher, presenting one of Adams, Hough and Howard's successes, the musical fantasy "The Prince of Tonight," gave their per formanoe here aaaurday night. A tat* stsed audience greeted the per formers and Judging from the ap plause it was highly appreciated. The plot of the play is laid at the famous Florida resort, Palm Beach, and the atory Is centered around a stranded Yale college man, who ar rives at the resort with his financial fund a exhausted and gives his last luarter to a hotel porter. Learning hat a life saver is wanted on the ?jeach he secures the Job. Then fol ows the meeting of the girl, her re fusal and rejection. It is here the ?entury plant comes to ^ aid and le is transformed into "TJge Prince Lunitanla" by its magic as admin ?tcred by the old gardener. While i Prince he again meet* the girl who Jilted him and It to finally by her kiss that his life is saved. /) Tom Arnold In the role of Jim Sutherla&a, the life saver, and the ??rlnce, was a general favorite. Miss >Iabc! Laffln as Virginia Stuart wis well reoelled. Miss Eva Phelps as Bonnie Btuart. the automatio Jump ng-Jsck, carried her part well and fumtehed the audience with many hearyt laughs. Frank Haa-sh as Dan 'el Stuart, who had a mania for lostroylng hate, furnished his share of the comedy. And the tango inclng""-t>f 'WHhtfla and Burch re ceived encore after encore. There is an sfbundanoe of action and Jnet enough dialogue to enable i?n audience to fully understand the different moves. SongB and danoes are freeely Interspersed with the dialogue and acting. The scen ic beauty and gorgeons oostumes form the most attractive part of the were particularly fine. The isongs were prtlcultly fine. The songs while not new were old-time favor ites and took well. And the sing ing of the double qosrtet was ap to the average. BRIDGE WHIST HAfl A RIVAI,. As a counter attraction to the fo* 'rot and bridge whist, skat H grow dally la popularity.
