Show REDUCED FREIGHT RATES. Today the new freight rates from Sacramento, California, to Nevada points become effective, in obedience to the ruling of the Interstate Commerce Commission and the refusal of the United States Circuit Court to set aside the readjustment of rates. Under the new schedule, the rates from Sacramento, California, to Winnemucca, Nevada, are : First class, reduced from $1.60 to $1.15 per hundred pounds. Second class, reduced from $1.40 to 96 cents. Third class, reduced from $1.27 to 86 cents. Fourth class, reduced from $1.07 to 69 cents. The enforcing of these rates will help win for Utah its demand for lower schedules, as it would be entirely unfair to grant Nevada relief and fail to listen to the complaint of this state, which is in many respects similar to that of the Nevada merchants. |
