PART or DECISION. filed to become efflv schedule fective March 3, 1932. the reepondent western lines, acting upon the suggestion of western beet sugar producers, propose to reduce their rates on sugar from points In Utah, Idaho, Nebraska and Kansas to Colorado, points In Minnesota, South Dakota, Ipwa V isconsln and the upper peninsula of Michigan and also to establish for the first time proportional from rates, lower then the locals, the above points of origin to the on sugar Mississippi river crossings destined east of the Indtana-Illlnostate line. The schedules were- - eus- -. pended upon protest ef eastern beet sugar manufacturers, seaboard and Touftriana 'Mure - sugar refiner "And These protestants eastern carriers. contend that the present rates are as low as they should be and that lower rates would be less than reasonable minima The suspension period ha expired, but respondent are voluntarily holding the schedules under suspension pending the disposition of these eases.

The proposed rate i 42 cents, which, with the 1922 reduction, would afford the weetern beet sugar producers an advantage of I cents over New Orleans. The proposal represents an extension to St. Paul of the rate from the Oolorado points to Chicago for perhaps 123 miles longer haul, maintained to meet approximately the rates from the seaboard and News Orleans to Chicago. The Chliaga rate is blanketed back about 904 milee toward the points of otlgln, being applicable, therefore, to Mississippi river points and practically all polnta between Chicago and the eastern boundary of Colorado K Is substantially a postage stamp rate The short line distance from the Colorado points to St Paul on the everaxe is about 925 mUear'whlle that New Or'eana is about 1275 miles, a different of approximately making n miles in favor of the Colorado If transportation conditions ints. p dissimilar, this ,aif not absolutely In mileage suggests that the fate from the COIOrwdo points to St Paul may well be 7 cent less the a from New Orleans, as la proposed. . RATE TO DULUTH. In that "To Duluth and polnta the rate front- - the- - Colorado polpts la 49 4 cents, or 6 5 cents higher than to St Paul. Thie difference was proposed to be continued by rerate ducing the rate to Duluth The from New Orleans to Du hi t h Js 3 centa so that at present the New Orleans refiners have an advantage of 1 5 centa over the western producers. Under the proposed rates, with th1922 reduction, the latter woulp have an advantage over the New refiners.

WESTERN SUGAR TO EAST. The proportional ratea referred to are proposed solely for the purpose of putting western beet sugar into central territory, which is already amply supplied by Michigan beet sugar manufacturers, and Louisiana and Atlantic ik a board refiners. For aught that in the record, the consuming public would receive no benefits from of influx western beet sugar, the which, according to custom. Is sold at a price made at definite relation to the price of cane sugar. Moreover, a stated tn therte'port, the principal writ-nfor the Ltah producers testified that his interests would be willing to of central territory with their out stay sugar if the seaboard refiners would of the territory west of Chiout may cago, and accordingly the seaboard refiners agreed to the suggestion that westbound proporthe tional rates to th Mississippi river be canceled, it eeems to me that we here have a prospective case of commercially unnecessary in whtch an organisation such as the Association of American Railway Executives should Interest itself, and which, through cooperative measures.
