The new rates, it will be obâ€" served, are greatly in excess of the southern Ontario First Class rates for the same distances. These differences can best be illustrated by comparing the actual freight charges on a few 'typical shipments such as those preâ€" sented as examples in the article imâ€" "ediately preceding. A shipment of machinery, weighing lS,OOO lbs. and subject to First Class rate, from Toronto to Kirkland Lake, would, be assessed freight charges of $66.50; the southern Ontario charge for the same distance would be $47.00 Ont. 1( In n Vermicelli, Spaghetti 10â€"oz.

Marie and east thereof, 10| To ang Schedule and including Montreal. From T. Flexibility of Freight Charges There is need for a marked degree of flexibility in the charges for transâ€" portation, to take care of changed conâ€" ditions. Freight rates that might have been satisfactory ten years ago, may require considerable revision to meet changed circumstances or beâ€" cause of the fact that they were alâ€" ways too hign to encourage traffic. The development of the natural reâ€" sources along the lines of the Temisâ€" kaming and Northern Ontario and Nipissing Central Railways during the last decade, particularly the mineral resources, retarded perhaps to some extent by the high basis of rates, has tended to alter the entire aspect of the situation. The desirability and necessity for more manufacturing plants closer to the points of consumpâ€" tion, has increased with the increase in population and the development of the mines and of agriculiture, The larger voalume of traffic moving has The comparison of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario and Nipissing Central Railways‘ rates and rates in connection with these railways, with the rates applicable in the couthern territory above described, has been considered justified because of the similarity of operating conditions, etc., on the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario and Nipissing Central Railâ€" ways and those conditions existing on the Canadiar National and Canadian Pacific Railways in a considerable secâ€" tion of the southern territory desâ€" cribed. The Nipissing Central Railway proâ€" portional rates added to the commoâ€" dity rates to Swastika in arriving at the through rates to Kirkland Lake, are, for the additicnal haul of 5.7 miles, in a few instances, as follows: Iron and steel commodities, 44 cents per 100 lbs; paper commodities, 4 cents; lime, 3 cents; cement, 24 cents; building brick, 34 cents and vegetables, 34 cents. (carâ€" loads). The following table illustrates the differences between the existing comâ€" modity rates on iron and steel articles, carloads, to Kirkland Lake, and the commcodity rates based on the through mileage and Ontario Standard and Schedule A, or Southern Ontario bases: Toronto to Kirkland; 388 miles; Published rate, 624 ; Ontario Standard, 58: Schedule A, 424. Commodity Rates On traffic originating at points beâ€" yond Swastika, the Nipissing Central Railway publishes special arbitraries, or proportional rates, to be added to the commcodity rates to Swastika. At the time of the class rate adjustment, it was understood the commodity rates would also be reduced. The situation is somewhat complicated so that the proposed reductions are still in the proeâ€" cess of adjustment. Meanwhile, the old rates ccntinue in effect. from T. N. O. Rly. points. The arâ€" bitraries, or additional rates, above the Swastika rates, were allowed to stand. The first class rate from North Bay to Kirkland Lake, for instance is 844 cents per 100 lbs, that is, 754 cents to Swasâ€" tika plus Nipissing Central Railway arbitrary of 9 cents; ‘based on the through mileage to Kirkland, the rate would be 79 cents, and, under Schedule A basis, 68 cents. We will consider the position of a manufacturer of Iron and Steel Comâ€" modities located on the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway. Pracâ€" tically all the raw materials entering -| into his products or required in their ]manufacture have to be transported ‘long distances. The manufacturer pays much higher inward charges than his o | competitor located at Hamilton, for s | instance, and, as illustrated previously [E | also, a higher basis of rates is appliâ€" v‘cable on his manufactured products. I'I’he same situation is faced by the manufacturer, either actual or prosâ€" \e|pective, of other commoditiee for iwhich markets exist in Northern Onâ€" tario and contiguous territory. _ | _ The mining industry has contributed j | largely to the success of the Temisâ€" ,r$ kaming and Northern Ontaric and e| Nipissing Central Railways as a good !proportion of the traffic moving over t!these railways constitutes materials s ‘ for the mines, and, indirectly, there is a â€"steady movement which can be atâ€" tributed to the mines. They are, therefore, vitally interested in the e | freight rates. New properties are in the course of development and as, acâ€" _ | cording to geologists, the mineral reâ€" â€"| sources of the country have scarcely e | been tapped, ‘a great deal more can be >, | expected. © No obstacle should be placed n in the way of this development. If d'the freight rates are too high, exâ€" ' pansion of the industry is discouraged 3 and the continued payment of a reâ€" latively high basis of rates by estabâ€" â€"| lished mining companies unfair. Summary of Rate Comparisons e| The class rates, those which consâ€" â€" ! titute the railways basic scale of freight , | rates, upon which are based the maâ€" ¢ | jority of the special or "commodity" h | rates, were shown to be higher to and d | from Temiskaming and Northern Onâ€" $ | tario and Nipissing Central Ruilways y i stations than the distributing class i,i rates in southern Ontario. The first class rate for 100 miles on the T. 6| N.O. Rly., or from or to points on 0| connecting lines in southern Ontario, exceeds the southern Ontario basis by 0/ 11 cents per 100 lbs; for 200 miles, O by 15 cents; 300 miles by 25 cents:; ‘ 400 miles by 314 cents; 500 miles by | | | w A | per 100 lbs. In order that the full | extent of these differences may be apâ€" ;preciated, the following examples of articles subject to first class rating in less than carload lots, are presented:â€" ; Clothing and Dry Goods, not otherâ€" | wise specified; Fresh or Frozen meats and Fish; Livestock; Household Goods, and Settlers Effects (second hand, reâ€" leased;) certain types of Machinery and | Machinery parts, etc. The special rates on Iron and Steel of¢¥the Bank Commodities from southern Ontari0 | transferred tc points and Montreal, to Temiskaming | the bank.

Unless the rates on the inbound raw materâ€" lials and the outbound products are reasonable, industries already estabâ€" lished cannot flourish nor is encourâ€" agement offeéred new industries, A number of basic raw materials are availlable in northern Ontario but a great deal is, and would be, required to be brought from other sections of the country. The encouragement of new industries would assist the utilâ€" ization of the abundance of available power, the proximity of which offsets the geographical disadvantage of the northern points, to some extent. This disadvantage cannot be expected to be equalized entirely by a rate adjustâ€" ment, but the application of the same relative basis of rates afforded similar, but more fortunate, sections of Onâ€" tario to the south, would appgar to be justifiable. decreased the average cost of transâ€" porting the individual shipment.

Conclusion There would appear to be ample reason, from what has been here preâ€" sented, for the statement that the freight rates generally to and. from points on the Temiskaming and Norâ€" thern, Ontario and Nipissing Central Railways are .unjustly discriminatory when compared with the rates in southern Ontario in similar territory. An adjustment to a more reasonable basis, relatively, would materially asâ€" sist the promotion of industrial enâ€" terprise, develop natural resources and agricultural possibilities and increase the volume of traffic offered for transâ€" sortation. 4 Heavy Sentences Given to Looters of Cottages the southern Ontario basis. Freight Rates and the Farmer An equitable basis of freight rates would be of inestimable value in furâ€" ther developing the rich agricultural resources of many sections along the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway, first by widening of the terâ€" ritory throughout which producers might profitably obtain markets, and, secondly, by the increase in populaâ€" tion due to industrial expansion. Placing the northern Ontario farmer on an equitable basis with his southâ€" ern competitor, as far as freight rates are concerned, on cattie, sheep and hogs, for example, to the larger centres in southern Ontario and to Montreal, would open these markets to the norâ€" thern Ontario producer and â€"greatly encourage the raising of stock with consequent benefit to the railway. The same is apuplicable to otper farm proâ€" ducts, such as hay and potatoes. Farmers in the northern districts could more readily compete with the shippers of farm products in outside areas, for the markets in the â€" mining centres, if the freight rates were esâ€" His ho Sam Bucovetskyv Limited You are invited to see the new fur coats for the coming season Om @1 m inft WC R Display 3 Pine Street South ich coat or shioned ts : wItH _ rkmanship mmililn! mplett Ak ‘1ing, nfrew Bardessono â€" Rloc} 11t.} H.
