Designed to promote free movement of interstate commerce. Decatur Naviga-

Milling-in-transit arrangement is a thing of value to shipper, involving additional
service, for which a reasonable charge may properly be made. Stock & Sons
v. L. S. & M. S. Ry. Co. 150 (151, 152).

Commission not debarred from establishing an additional through route even
though present service is adequate. Decatur Nav. Co. v. L. & N. R. R. Co.
281 (286).

performed. Tap Line Case, 490 (493).

If shipper or receiver demands an additional service, or if federal government or

ADVANCE IN RATES.

GENERAL RATE ADVANCE:

Protests against proposed advances by state commissions, various associations
and shippers. Five Per Cent Case, 351 (357).

While right to demand a higher rate may be denied when existing charge is rea-
sonable, even though carrier may be in need of additional earnings, so carrier
may be entitled to a higher rate for a particular service because existing rate is
unreasonably low, although not in need of additional revenue. Id. 351 (358).
Act requires carriers to show affirmatively the reasonableness of increased rates.
Id. 351 (425).

JUSTIFICATION:

Discontinuance of physical connection between Iron Mountain and Burlington
roads at Herrin, Ill. Lumber Rates from Thebes, Ill. 15 (17).

ADVANCE IN RATES-Continued.

JUSTIFICATION-Continued.

Not shown that rates yield less than a fair return for services rendered; that aver-
age length of haul is slightly in excess of haul from other points does not prove
reasonableness of proposed rates. Class and Commodity Rates from Stations
in Maine, 18 (22).

That continuance of the 95-cent rate will tend to disrupt adjustment to other
points in same general territory not a sufficient reason for approving a rate
which otherwise has been found unreasonable. Rates on Boots and Shoes from
Boston, 154 (158).

Rates not based on distance, and mere fact that other lumber rates are as high as
some of suspended rates, considering distances alone, is not sufficient to
prove such rates reasonable. Lumber to Nashville, Tenn. 186 (188).
Discrepancies in rate structure alleged. Lumber Rates Southern Ry. Points to
Eastern Points, 244 (246, 247).

Revenue not sufficiently remunerative to warrant rail carriers in further meeting
water competition. Lumber Rates from Lake Charles and West Lake, La.
258 (260).

Elimination of certain inconsistencies in rate structure; placing of two com-
peting points upon equal basis; rates in both directions should be same.
Packing-House Products from Iowa Points, 308 (309).

Inadequacy of revenues as. Five Per Cent Case, 351 (353,384).

Test of sufficiency of revenues; return compared with property investment; net
operating income and net corporate income. Id. 351 (360, 362).

Net operating income insufficient. Advance proposed not found to be propor-
tionate. Id. 351 (386, 403).

Class rates in c. f. a. territory on a lower scale than elsewhere; commodity rates
too low and probably unremunerative. Id. 351 (403).

That published transit rates applied only in a limited manner or that tonnage has
fallen off is not sufficient to change original conclusions. California-Nevada
Lumber Rates, 464 (465).

Commission can not say that merely because å higher intrastate rate exists that an
increase of an interstate rate to meet the state-made rate is justified, even
though transportation conditions are similar. Rates on Beer and Other Malt
Products, 544 (545).

Necessary for carrier either to adjust some interstate rates to mileage prescribed
by Minnesota law, to leave them out of line, or to suffer material reductions.
Beer usually rates fifth-class. Id. 544 (545, 546).

Necessity of increased revenues. New England Lumber Rates, 553.
Withdrawal of rate on coal coked-in-transit at Geneva, N. Y., justified on ground
that it was a preferred rate to a single city and industry and not in fact a true
milling-in-transit rate. Empire Coke Co. v. B. & S. R. R. Co. 573.

No reason appears why same rate on rice should not apply from Helena, Ark., to
New Orleans as is charged from other points within the blanket. Rice Rates
from Helena, Ark. 614 (615).

Neither carriers nor Commission may predicate rates upon necessities of shippers,
and efforts to equalize market competition may not justify or require rates that
are unreasonably low nor permit unjust discrimination. Hide Rates to Los
Angeles, Cal. 633 (635).

Average refrigeration revenue for less than carloads is less than average cost of
ice. Other items of service cost. Refrigeration Rates from New Orleans, 637
