Effective August 1 1914 to August 1 1915 end guaranteed against any reductions during that time All cars fully equipped Modesto OFFICE OF THE Spence director oT traffic of the Southern Pacific lines points out tne way in which the railroads may be afforded an Immediate measure of relief from one of the burdens that are crushing them He says: "The Interstate Commerce commission is authorized by law either upon complaint or upon its own initiative to suspend for a period of ten months any advanced rates that may be filed by the carriers This imposes a responsibility upon the commission which is met by suspending practically all advanced rates that are filed pending a hearing so that even though the advanced rates are justified and eventually approved the carriers arc usually deprived of the revenue that should accrue to them during a period of ten months president seems to recognize the urgent needs of the railroads and the extent to which the entire business of the country is dependent upon their prosperity but hesitates to exercise any influence over the findings of the commission However if he desires to afford the railroads an im mediate measure of relief it is within his power to send a recommendation to congress to repeal that provision of the law which empowers the commission to suspend all advanced rates before they become effective Under existing practice the railroads are considered guilty of extortion until they prove their innocence and may suffer starvation while awaiting the sustenance to which they are eventually found to he entitled "My suggestion affords adequate protection to all interests First it relieves the members of the Interstate Commerce commission of the responsibility of authorizing increases in rates which they arc naturally reluctant to assume and by requiring the railroads io assume the initiative in rate making leaves the commission unprejudiced in future hearings upon complaints of any of the rates involved Secondly the power of the commission to award reparation will assure the merchants the benefit of former rates from the date they were advanced whenever the commission upon complaint finds that the increases were unreasonable and orders the former rate restored Finally it contemplates a simple measure of justice to the railroads in giving them the immediate benefit of the revenue accruing from advanced rates to which they are entitled without any prejudice to the interest of the shippers recognition of investors that the railroads have no power to increase their rates sufficiently to meet constantly Increasing expanses and yield a sufficient return upon their property to provide facilities improvements and extensions is responsible more than anything else for tlie prevalent lack of confidence upon which the depression of business is founded and It is within the power of the administration and congress t( contribute to the restoration of confidence and prosperity by the adoption of this suggestion" BUYING HORSES FOR THE WARRING NATIONS IN STANISLAUS COUNTY For sale 5 acres fine alfalfa 5 miles from Modesto with house barn well I family orchard Price $4500 26-Room apartment house in
