Petition of Railroads Granted -by Interstate Commerce Com-
mission Overruling Decisions ofi Texas Commission
Which Will Appeal From interstate Ruling.
(By Associated Press.)
VA9HIXGT0X Feb. 23. The
In
terstate Commerce Commission todu'v
ordered -the railroads of Texas to In-
crease the state passenger and freight
rates to the level of the interstate
charges effective April 2nd.
The Commission announced that
lower fares in Texas would tend to
convert the -Interstate revenues- into
State revenues and kidded that th'is
i-esults from the common practice of
rebuying tickets at border points pay-
ing state fares in Texas and inter-
state fares to points beyond the bor-
der. It was further stated that tie
record snows that three such points on-'
the Texas & Pacific railroad average
something like one hundred and twen-
ty passengers who rebuy tickets daily
and thus defeat the intentions of the
interstate features of the law. ' in re-
gard to freight rates the commission
cited the situation in relation to cot-
ton. "Local snippers of Texas cotton
receive the benefits of lower state
made rates while the exporter and Inter-state
shipper are assessed rela-
tively much higher rates. This 'is
typical as an illustration of the dis-
criminations now affecting shippers
and growing out of the change in the
relationship between state and inter-
state rates.
