A carrier which is also a dealer and is in possession of a public franchise has opportunity to use its great power as a common carrier to discriminate against Anthracite Coal, 220 (254). It does not clearly appear that the accrual of 615 days' debits in excess of credits, under an average demurrage agreement, resulted from defendant's failure to Lead Co. v. St. L. & S. F. R. R.

Id. (640). DISTANCE RATES. Rates on glass and glassware from Morgantown and competing districts appear to be made on a distance basis entirely. Athens Glass Co. v. B. & O. R. R. Co., 22 (25). Promulgation of a distance tariff applicable from all points in Oklahoma blanket on cottonseed products suggested as a solution of difficulties. Oklahoma Cotton seed Crushers Asso. v. M., K. & T. Ry. Co., 94 (107). DISTRIBUTION OF TONNAGE. See Tonnage, DISTURBANCE OF ADJUSTMENT. Commission should not disturb the parity in the rates on grain and grain products that has long existed, which is not here attacked, and which its beneficiaries have had no opportunity to defend. 1915 Western Rate Advance Case, 497 (577). Increases here proposed on packing-house products would destroy the existing parity in the rates. Id. (595). DIVIDENDS. Money taken from treasury of railway company by holding company on account of dividends to be declared later. Rates for Transportation of Anthracite Coal, 220 (254). Substantial rates of dividends during years 1904 to 1913. Id. (277). A number of coal companies in whose stocks carriers have invested have never paid to the carriers dividends on their stocks. Id. (283). Dividends paid by respondents during the past 20 years. Appendix. Id. (336). Increasing percentage of bonds to total capital obligations indicate a growing un willingness to accept prospect of dividends as a sufficient incentive to assume risks of railroad proprietorship. 1915 Western Rate Advance Case, 497 (540). Rates of, paid on common stock. Id. (559). DIVISIONS. Under present basis of, respondent is allowing its southern connections 1 cent more than appears to be necessary. Rates on Grain Milled in Transit, 27 (30). Carriers failed to agree upon divisions of joint rates fixed by Commission, and upon petition of the initial line, the Moffat road, divisions are prescribed. Coal Rates from Oak Hills, Colo., 456. Divisions herein found reasonable for the Moffat road in connection with the Rock Island should not be used to measure divisions of carriers serving mines at Wal senburg. Id. (459). Divisions of joint rates on pig iron from Alabama and Tennessee to central freight association territory between carriers operating north and those south of the Ohio River, prescribed. Sloss-Sheffield Steel & Iron Co. v. L. & N. R. R. Co. 460. Rates on pig iron varied with the price and these fluctuations were reflected in varying divisions to southern lines. Id. (464, 465). Estimates of divisional percentages should have been based upon hauls via the direct gateway. Id. (466). Northern lines not entitled to an increase in their divisions, and Five Per Cent case no warrant therefor. Id. (467, 468). If parties can not agree, they may present matter of divisions to Commission in a supplementary proceeding. Port Huron & Duluth S. S. Co. v. P. R. R. Co., 475 (476). Petition of tap line for increased divisions denied. The Tap Line Case, 485 (487). Defendants at one time agreed as to divisions of joint rates and should make a bona fide effort again to reach an agreement. Federal Sugar Refining Co. v. C. R. R. Co. of N. J., 488 (491). DOCK COAL. No increases proposed in rates on. 1915 Western Rate Advance Case, 497 (610). DOCKS AND TRESTLES. See LEASE. DOMESTIC RATES. On brewers’ rice may be increased to an amount equal to increased import rates. 1915 Western Rate Advance Case, 497 (622). DUNNAGE. Proposed increased charges for staking, wiring, or cleating shipments of lumber, telegraph poles, etc., justified. Lighterage and Storage Regulations at New York, 47 (66). To afford shipper a reasonable opportunity to deliver freight for shipment, to transport same with reasonable dispatch and safety, place it in a reasonably accessible place to be received, and afford consignee reasonable time for its removal. Lighterage and Storage Regulations at New York, 47 (52). EARNING CAPACITY. Exceptional earning capacity of principal anthracite carriers discussed. Rates for Transportation of Anthracite Coal, 220 (274). EARNINGS. See also REVENUES. Car-mile earnings on grain products from East St. Louis are considerably less than on grain milled in transit at Lawrenceburg, Ind. Rates on Grain Milled in Transit, 27 (30). Per car on cottonseed meal and cake. Imperial Valley Cotton Co. v. S. P. Co. 215 (217). The large tonnage hauled in the trains produces high earnings per train-mile. Rates for Transportation of Anthracite Coal, 220 (260). It is apparent that 6 per cent per annum earnings on the whole property of a rail 6 way system of a group of railways such as the Erie lines is unattainable. Id. (273). Question of setting rates upon a particular description of traffic where the same rates if carried by all roads would result in essentially different earnings to differ ent carriers, considered. 1915 Western Rate Advance Case, 497 (560). Statement of rates per gross ton-mile and earnings per car-mile on live stock, in comparison with other commodities in car lots, on the C., B. & Q. R. R. Id. (586). Statement showing comparison of earnings on hay under proposed rates with cer tain other commodities moving between Kansas City and points indicated. Id. (631). ECONOMIES. Economies sought to be realized from heavier equipment have in large part been neutralized by heavier maintenance costs. 1915 Western Rate Advance Case, 497 (515). Economy of operation is promoted by heavier loading, and the whole public benefits by economies that reduce the cost of transportation. Id. (575). EFFICIENCY. Railroad properties should be kept in a high state of, and freight rates should be sufficiently remunerative to permit it. Rates for Transportation of Anthracite Coal, 220 (283). ELKINS ACT. Object to prevent favoritism and to place all shippers upon equal terms. Rates for Transportation of Anthracite Coal, 220 (289).
