CHICAGO. Oct SI. Stanlev H. John son, assistant frelrht rainwr of the Rock Island lines, declared before the Interstate Commerce Commission that rrtIn state Railroad Commissions are a.ualng- most of the trouble between the shipper and the railroads. Johnson's- statement was made while he was belnr questioned by Commissioners Lane and Clark, who Intimated their be lief that the railroads are not satisnea with regulation because It limits their rower to Increase revenues. The hearing- of t-.e proposed advances In rates will be concluded tomorrow ana the evidence will then be reviewed In Washington before, a decision Is an nounced. In conducting the examination of John son t'ommtsxtoner Lane at once delved Into the action of the railroads previous to the ex'strnce of the various Commerce Commissionst "Why did you not ret up to this rats before these Interfering; commissions csrr.e Into existence?" asked Commission er Lane. State Commissions Fester. 'jstale Commissions sre embarrass ments and all the troubles between the shippers snd railroads could be adjusted In a satisfactory manner It tne amereni State Commissions were out of the way' replied Johnson. "You are not satisfied with reflation because it limits your power to Increase your revenue." said Commissioner Lane, "and you were not satisfied with non regulatlon prior to 190 because you say that led to bankruptcy now what will satisfy you? In Iwi you had an oppor tunity to set the rates higher, .vet your own and other roads wre placed In the hands of receivers. Low we come along" "Ves." Interrupted Johnson, "we might get along faniouily with your honor and colleagues It we did not have all of these Slate Commissions to contend with." "Is It not a fact." said Commlsstonsr I-an. "that you are laying these burdens on the Interstate Commerce Commis sion which were laid upon you by the State Commissions?" Rate Advance Explained. "I do not see It that way." replied the witness. "There Is a conflict be tween the state and Federal bodies to control the railroads. If the respon sibility were not divided, it would be simplified. " (ieneral Dickinson, counsel for the railroad, took the witness In band at this Juncture. "Did you advance all commodity ratesr asked General I'lcklnson. "We did not." replied Johnson. "Did you advance any class rates?" "We did not." , "Why were advances made on the sarticular articles mentioned? "To divide the tariff Into three rlasses. First, a class rate; second, to list slight moving as light-weight commodities, snd third, to list the heavy commodities. "Excepting grain and coal, none of the heavy commodities have been ad vanced. Generally speaking, the ad vances were made on manufactured articles. The Increase affects but 1S.S1 per cent of the tonnage of our road." "Rate decisions In what are known as the Denver. Spokane and other West rn cases will cost the Chicago, Bur lington yulncy 1300.000. Burlington Prefers Rebates. "The old rebating system reduced the freight revenue of the Burlington from S to 5 per cent. The Burlington Is not In as good a condition to accu mulate a surplus now as It was 1 years ago." The foregoing were among the state ments made at the rate hearing today by Claude O. Rurnham. vice-president of the Burlington. Attorney Dawes, of the Burlington, asked what effect on revenues- re bat Ing had before tha law made the prac tice illegal. "Rebates were given almost exclu sively on higli-clasa freight." replied the witness. "The reault was a rate that was much lower than was fair to the railroads. But at no time did re bates cause more than a S to 6 per cent decrease In the revenue of the Burlington." Attorney James. representing the shippers, asked In regard -to rate ad vances In the past: "Wssn't one of the considerations of advancing rates the selling price of the commldltles affected?" "Tes." Witness explained that the selling price of furniture, as an Instance, figured In determining to Increase the rate on tumtturs between Chicago and the Twin Cities. "Did you call in the shippers with regard to this rate?" Inquired Mr. James. "No. oar experience has been that If we did there would be no Increase. We have SOS men who are constantly em ployed In reporting on the profits made by the manufacturers and shippers on ail lines of goods." 125 TURKEYS SENT HERE Bell Fountain Fanner Gets ! 1-3 Cents a Found, for Birds.

MAGAZINES TO PAY Postage on Advertising Sec tions to Be Increased. PENNY LETTER RATE GOAL Tart and Hitchcock Agree News papers "ot Affected President Hopes to See 1-Cent Rate Before Knd of Term. WASHINGTON. Oct. 31. President Taft and Postmaster-General Hitch cock reached an agreement today on the recommendations the President will make to Cengress regarding a change in the second-class postage rates af fecting magasines and other periodi cals. Mr. Taft will recommend that mag azines be required to pay the present rate of 1 cent a pound on all reading matter, and a much higher rate, to be detet mined later, on advertising pages Each magazine will be required to send a copy of Its current Issue to the Post office Department each week of month, aa the case may be. There the publi cation will be dissected, the reading matter and the advertising sections will be weighted separately and the amount of postage computed. Newspapers will noTb affected. The average haul of the newspaper is but 300 miles, while the average haul of tha magazine is 1100 miles. The hauling of magazines has proved costly to the Government, and both the President and the Postmaster-General believe It has entered largely Into the deficit shown each year in the Postof flce Department. This deficit has been reduced In the last year, a savins; of $11,000,000 having been reported from economies put Into effect by Mr. Hitch cock. The adoption of a new rate for magazines, Mr. Hitchcock believes, will wipe out the deficit and put the postal establishment on a self-sustaining-basis. President Taft is looking forward to 1-cent rate for letter postage and hopes to recommend It before he leaves the White House. He hopes also to back up his recommendation with figures and estimates, showing tbst letter post sge at this rate will yield a profit to the Government, The establishment of tha proposed new rates on magazines, the President believes, will do much to bring about penny postage. He believes the maga zines will be compelled to pay only their Just shara In the postal expenses.
