Excerpt from Reports and Decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission of the United States, Vol. 2: April 5th, 1888 to March 25th, 1889Trade centers or large commercial towns are not as a matter of right entitled to have more favorable rates than the smaller towns for which they form distributing centers, and if carriers shall give to such smaller towns rates as favorable as to the larger, the Commission will not inter fore.The fact that under rates which are impartially arranged as between large and small towns one large distributing center may have an advantage over another in competition for the business of the small towns. Does not make out a case of undue preference in favor of the one distributing center as against the other. Impartial rates are not rendered illegal by their effect upon the business of localities.A distributing center, however great or important. Cannot demand as a mat. Ter of right that the rates from a common source Of supply to more dis taut and smaller town's shall be made up of the sum of the rate to itself and the rate thence to such smaller towns, but the carriers may make rates from the common source of supply to the smaller towns directly, as sin rlc rates, and if the single rate is less than the sum of the two which are made to and from the distributing center, it is not for that reason necessarily objectionable.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
