.40. •27. Graphic Comparison of Rates. Short versus Long Haul. 17 the water routes east of Chicago. The all-rail rate to Green River, for instance, $2.09 may be reduced 9 cents by having the freight shipped by canal and lake to Chi- cago for sixteen cents, instead of by rail for twenty-five cents. This illustrates the statement heretofore made, that the low rates to distributing points do not end there, but are passed on to the local points beyond. Looking now at the lines representing the rate...s, in the last column, the eye at once detects every case of chargr ing less for the longer haul, by the line being shorter than some line above it, and the reason why the longer haul must be taken at lower rates is also plainly apparent. Why are the rates for points west of Ogden less than the Ogden rates ? Because if they were greater no freight would take the overland route for those points, but it would go around to San Francisco by the Isthmus, or Cape Horn, and come back eastward to its destination, by a short rail haul on the Central Pacific, for less money.
