pany commonly known as the Sugar
Trust enjoys freight rates remarkably
low compared with those afforded oth
er shippers.
The commission last spring instructed
Frank Lyon, a special attorney, to
make an exhaustive examination of the
cost of hauling coal from the West Vir
giniacoal tiells to the Like Erie ports,
for the purpose of guiding the cotrm a-
si h in its decision on applications made
by carriers for an increase in rates At
torney Lyon, wih a crps of expert
accountants, proceeded to collect the
data ordered, and in comparing the va
rious commodity rates in vogue in the
Southwestern territory discovered the
remarkable discrepancies which are so
favorable to the Sugar Trust.
Lyon's agents discovered that all the
known rules of freight rates making
are contravened for the purpose of
granting tha sugar interests pref eren
tial rates. A settle of cost prices com
piled by tha commission's agents for
hauling sugar and other comm dities
from the coast line to inferior points
shows the following rates.
Soger, valued at app oximately $160
per too, is shipped at one and ninety-
three hundredths mills per ton per
mile.
Cement, which is valued at only $30
per ton, is assessed at fix and sixtenlh
mills per ton per mile.
Machinery, whose ton valuation is
almost impossible to estimate, omng
to the many classes, is charged Beven
and one-half mills.
Coal, which has a mine valuation f
little more thun $1 per ton, is charged
three and thirty nine hundrtd hs mills.
Produce, whose value is variable, is
charged thirteen mills.
These are only a few of the r mirk-
able discrepancies found. W hue they
show on their face trat sugar is the
great preferred commodity, the e'e
ment of cost to tha company does not
show on the tabulation. For example,
18 tons of sugar is considered to lo id,
because owing to i t? hulk it is imos
sible to put more thin tl at amount into
one car. The ordinary load of coal is 44
tans. Produce runs from 50 tons per j
carload upward, and machinery aver
ages 10Q tons to the carload.
Ordinarily railroads charge a freight
rate for the transportation of commodi
ties which is arrived at by the compari
son of the weight of the commodity and
its valuation, which means that the
company charges more where a greater
riak is taken in the cost of the freight
than where the risk is slight. The same
is true of express companies and all
other transportation companies. But a
principle diametrically opposite to this
plan is used in charging for sugar ship
mats; sugar, the moat valuable com
modity. Is shipped at the lowest rate.
The capacity of a car is also consider
ed in the hauling of commodities geoer
ally, but in the ease of sugar the rules
have been reversed. Although sugar is
the bulkiest commodity named In the
tabulation, it is given the lowest freight
rates.
MEM
SAVING MONEY
is a different matter with practically every person;
each individual has his own expenses and income
on which to base a saving plan. However, the
fundamental principle of saving is always the
same namely, keeping expenses below income.
If you open a Savings Account in the Peoples
Bank you can deposit any amount from one dol
lar upwards, so that whether you earn much or
little this bank can assist you.
