he retires from office next December he is goini to have a wholesale equalizing of ex press companies rates the Michigan railroad commission is now compiling a comprehensive record of the charges of the three express companies doing business in American United States between many and points When com the will be invitee to appear before the commission at and explain what appear to be a great many unreasonably high rates President Glasglow of the commis sion was explaining at Lansing on Saturday about some kinds of unequal rates Take for instance where one railroad line crosses another Be tween two stations on one of the lines 100 miles apart a package may be sent for 25 cents But if it originates only 10 miles from the junction point and is transferred at the junction and sent to a point 10 miles on the other line each line col a charge of 25 cents or 50 cents for 20 miles while over 100 miles on either line the charge would be but 25 cents Again take a large distributing center like Detroit or Grand Rapids Between either of these cities and a large town 50 miles away the charge for a package may be 25 cents Be tween the big city and another large town 80 miles away it is still 25 cents But for a village between the and the large towns the rate is 40 cents There are said to be a great many cases that lit this illustration President Glasgow says these in equalities came about in various ways and most of them date back to the beginning of the express service When schedules were originally framed a town that received and sent a considerable amount of express mat ter put up a kick and got a low rate The town that made no kick got a higher rate And many rates made this way continue to the present day it is said The commission has ample power under the 1901 law to compel these companies to even their rates up or down and that is what dent Glasgow proposes to do In the three years that the commis sion has been in existence it has in about individual cases forced railroad companies to reduce freight rates and in about 250 has allowed the companies to make slight raises Well Known Young Man Dies Alfred Williams passed away at the home of his parents Capt and
