LOCAL RATES.

Through rates as sum of, see THROUGH RATES.

Through traffic not necessarily entitled to benefit of. Morgan v. M., K. & T.

LOCATION.

Natural advantages of location are neither to be enlarged nor minimized by
the Commission, whose duty and purpose is to secure just and reasonable trans-
portation rates, as nearly equal as possible for all localities and individuals,
having due regard to differences in circumstances and conditions. Enterprise
Manufacturing Co. v. Ga. R. Co. 451.

Cotton mills to markets. China & Japan Trading Co. v. Ga. R. Co. 236.
Railroad no right to destroy advantages of. Howard Mills Co. v. Mo. Pac.
Ry. Co. 258.

Roads, industries on other. Leonard v. C., M. & St. P. Ry. Co. 492.

LONG AND SHORT HAUL.

A merely theoretical or paper rate, not used and unknown to the defendant
until casually discovered, will not be accepted as affording a just basis for an
order for reparation on shipments made to an intermediate point at a slightly
higher rate. Missouri & Kansas Shippers' Asso. v. M., K. & T. Ry. Co. 483.

Difference in rates from New York points via water and rail through Gal-
veston, Tex, to Wichita, Kans., and in rates to Topeka, Kans., through Wichita,
held justified by competition for traffic to Topeka. Johnston-Larimer Dry
Goods Co. v. New York & Texas S. S. Co. 58.

Rate of 21 cents from Lochland, Ky., to East St. Louis, Ill., compared with

discriminative, it appearing that the rate from Louisville is fixed under compe-
tition. Durham v. I. C. R. Co. 37.

Complaint that rate on sugar in carloads from New Orleans, La., to Mc-
Alester, Ind T., of 38 cents per 100 pounds, was unreasonable and unduly dis-
criminatory, defendant's rate to Muskogee, Ind. T., a more distant point over
the same line, being only 35 cents-dismissed, defendants having reduced their
rate. Hale-Halsell Grocery Co. v. M., K. & T. Ry. Co. 136.

LOW RATES.

A rate comparatively the lowest in its territory on a given article of freight,
and by reason thereof made the basis of reductions from competitive points, will
not be further reduced on the ground alone that it had at stated periods in the
past been somewhat lower, unless shown to be unreasonably high for the service
performed. Warren Manufacturing Co. v. So. Ry. Co. 381.

Through shipment not necessarily entitled to benefit of low rate established
from intermediate points, because of competition. Morgan v. M., K. & T. Ry.
Co. 525.

From St. Paul to Boston via Lake Michigan ports, a reasonable basis for
fixing rates for service rendered in transporting shipment between same points

MINIMUM.

Connecting roads publishing a joint tariff establishing specified rate for
transportation of commodities in carload lots of certain minimum magnitude
can charge no more than the rate upon such carload, no matter what equipment
they may provide for its transportation, except as the tariff in specific terms
provides certain minimum weights for carloads in cars of certain lengths or
capacities. Pacific Purchasing Co. v. C. & N. W. Ry. Co. 549.

The rule of a terminal carrier, that the minimum carload weight should
be the marked capacity of the car, whereby freight charges are collected upon a
higher minimum loading requirement than the practice of the carriers governed
by the Master Car Builders' Association rules permit, which rules are enforced
by the initial carrier-held unreasonable and unjust. Cambria Steel Co. v.
G. N. Ry. Co. 466.

Baled hay from Ledyard, Iowa, to Minneapolis, held unreasonable; from Led-
yard to Pekin, and Chicago, Ill., held reasonable. Wiemer & Rich v. C. & N. W.

or the route, will not excuse the carrier from collecting the lawful rate or the
shippers from paying it. Poor Grain Co. v. C., B. & Q. Ry. Co. 469.
