PASSENGER FARE SCHEDULES.

On and after Nov. 14, 1907, common carriers are directed, in filing schedules in compliance with the statute to transmit one copy of each tariff, supplement or other schedule of rates or regulations for the use of the commission. Copy for filing and letter of transmittal to be included in one package.

All tariffs that are printed or reprinted shall be made to conform to these rules. The commission reserves the right to direct the reprinting of any tariff at any time.

The term "joint fare," as used herein, is construed to mean a fare that extends to or over the lines of two or more carriers and that is made by joint arrangement or agreement between such carriers.

"Joint tariffs" are those which contain or are made up from such "joint fares."

15. All tariffs must be printed on durable paper of good quality from type of size not less than 6-point full face. Stereotype, planograph, mimeograph, neostyle, or other printing-press process may be used. Reproductions by hectograph or similar process, typewritten sheets, or proof sheets must not be used for posting or filing, except in preparation of tariffs covering excursion fares that are effective for not exceeding ten consecutive selling dates or for excursions limited to thirty days or less.

16. Passenger tariffs will be of three classes:

(a) Joint tariffs, applying to traffic between points on the lines of two or more carriers.

(b) Local tariffs, applying only to traffic between points on the lines of the issuing carrier.

(c) Interdivisional tariffs, applying only to traffic between points on different divisions of the lines of the issuing carrier. The use of interdivision tariffs will be optional with carriers.

17. Joint tariffs must be in page or pamphlet form, and of size 8

by 11 inches. Local and interdivision tariffs may be in book form, not larger than 8 by 11 inches, or in single-sheet form of size desired by issuing carrier. Loose-leaf plan may be used so that changes can be made by reprinting and inserting a single leaf.

18. Local tariffs may be in one or more books or pamphlets and must show the exact fare from each point to each other point on the lines of the issuing carrier. If desired, certain of the fares which ap-. pear in local tariffs may be repeated in interdivision or joint tariffs, but fares so repeated must be the same in every tariff in which they appear. 19.

Interdivision tariffs shall show:

(a) The exact fares between each point on one division and each point on the other division or divisions to which the tariff applies; or (b) The exact fares between each point on a division and the principal points on the other division or divisions to which the tariff applies, together with explicit rules and bases from which to determine the fares to and from each of the less important points on the division or divisions to which the tariff applies and which are not named in the tariff.

20. The title-page of every tariff shall show:

(a) Name of issuing carrier, carriers, or agent.

(b) M. R. C. number of tariff in bold type on upper left-hand corner, and immediately thereunder, in smaller type, the M. R. C. number or numbers of tariffs and supplements canceled thereby. If, however, the number of canceled tariffs is so large as to render it impracticable to thus enter them, they may be shown on following page, but specific reference to such list must be entered on title-page in connection with the number of the tariff. Serial number of carrier may, if desired, be entered below the upper marginal line of title page. Separate serial M. R. C. numbers will be used for freight and passenger tariffs.

(c) Whether tariff is local, interdivision, or joint.

(d) The territory or points from and to which the tariff applies, briefly stated.

(e) Date of issue and date effective.

(f) Name, title, and address of officer by whom tariff is issued.

(g)

On upper left hand corner the words: "Only one supplement to this tariff may be in effect at any time."

21. Tariffs shall contain, in the order named:

(a)

Table of contents, full and complete.

(b) Names of participating carriers. Except that if there be not more than ten participating carriers their names may be sown on the titlepage of the tariff.

(c) Alphabetically arranged and comlete index of stations from which the tariff applies, and alphabetically arranged and complete index of stations to which the tariff applies. If there be not more than six points of origin and six points of distination, they may, if practicable, be shown on title-page of tariff. Traffic territorial or group descriptions may be used to designate points to or from which fares named in the

tariff apply, provided a complete list of such points arranged by tariff territories or groups is printed in the tariff or specific reference is given to the M. R. C. number of the issue that contains such list. In this list the stations of each line of road should be grouped together alphabetically and under the name of the road. If in naming fares in the tariff, points of origin and destination are arranged alphabetically or alphabetically by States or roads, alphabetical index of stations may be omitted.

(d) Explanation of reference marks and technical abbreviations used in the tariff.

(e) Routing under the tariff. If the fares apply via more than onc route or gateway, the route or gateway shall be shown in connection with the fare, or the different routes shall be specified and each route be given a number, in which event the routing to each point of destination named in the tariff will be shown by placing opposite thereto, in a column headed "Route," the proper route number or numbers.

(f) Such explanatory statement in clear and explicit terms regarding the fares and rules contained in the tariff as may be necessary to remove all doubts as to their proper application.

(g) Rules and regulations which govern the tariff, the title of each rule or regulation to be shown in bold type. Under this head all of the rules, regulations, or conditions which in any way affect the fares named in the tariff shall be entered, except that a special rule applying to a particular fare shall be shown in connection with and on the same page with such fare.

No rule or regulation shall be included which in any way or in any terins authorizes substituting for any fare named in the tariff a fare found in any other tariff, or made up on any combination or plan other than that clearly stated in specific terms in the tariff of which the rule or reg ulation is a part. These rules shall include the general rules governing stopover privileges and the general baggage regulations, and also schedule of excess baggage rates, unless such excess baggage rates are shown in tariff in connection with the fares.

(h) The fares, explicitly stated, together with the names of the places from and to which they apply, all arranged in a simple and systematic manner. Complicated or ambiguous plans or terms must be avoided.

Tariffs naming fares for excursions may state such fares in such terms as "One first class fare for the round trip," "One first class fare and a third for the round trip," "One first class fare plus dollars, for

the round trip."

In naming fares in local passenger tariffs points will be arranged geographically, and the points on main line shall appear first in order, followed by points on branch lines diverging from main line. The points on a branch line will be separated from main line and other branch line points by a rule. The point of divergence from main line shall be shown at the top of the branch line points, but fares to and from such point of divergence need not be repeated. Points shown at the top of column of fares will be known as "head line points," and each column will be designated by a letter, or, if necessary, by a combination of two letters. Points shown at the side of the columns of fares will be known as "side line points," and will be numbered consecutively. The alphabetical index of stations provided for in rule 25 will show the location of fares to or from each station by head line letters and side line numbers.

Interdivision tariffs may be arranged geographically or alphabetically, but if arranged geographically the rule in next preceding paragraph will be followed.

23. A carrier may apply to through tickets fares to or from stations to or from which no joint fare is published by using lawfully published bases, locals or proportionals in connection with other lawfully published tariffs. Tariffs containing basing fares must specify clearly the extent and manner of their use, and tariffs that are especially intended for use in connection with published basing fares must show the M. R. C. numbers of tariffs in which bases can be found.

24. The term "common points" shall not be used in any tariff for the purpose of indicating the points from or to which fares named therein apply unless a full list of such points is printed in the tariff or specific reference is given to the M. R. C. number of the issue that contains such list.

If a tariff or supplement to a tariff is issued which conflicts with a part of any other tariff or supplement to a tariff which is in force at the time, and which is not thereby canceled in full, it shall specifically state the portions of such other tariffs which are thereby canceled, and such other tariffs shall at once be correspondingly amended in the regular way.

If a tariff is canceled with the purpose of applying in lieu thereof the fares shown in some other tariff, the cancellation notice shall make spe cific reference to the M. R. C. number of tariff in which such fares will thereafter be found. Cancellation of a tariff also concels supplement to such tariff, if any in effect, and should so state. If a tariff is canceled by the issuance of a similar tariff to take its place, cancellation notice should not be given by supplement, but by notice printed in new tariff, as provided in paragraph (b) of Rule 24.

26. A change in a tariff shall be known as an amendment and shall be printed in a supplement to the tariff which it amends, specifying such a tariff by its M. R. C. number. The supplement shall be reprinted each time an amendment is made and shall always contain all the amendments to that tariff that are in force.

An amended item must be printed in supplement in its entirety as amended.

There shall at no time be more than one supplement to any tariff, and when the supplement contains ten per centum of the number of pages contained in the tariff to which it is a supplement the tariff shall be reprinted before further changes in it can be made. The reprinting of a tariff will be held to cancel supplement to such tariff.

27. Each carrier shall publish, with proper M. R. C. numbers, post, and file a complete list of the tariffs which it is required to post and which are in effect. Such list shall show: (a) M. R. C. number of each tariff. (b) Name or initials of road or agent by which tariff is issued. (c) Brief description of character of tariff. (d) Concise statement of the points between which tariff applies. Tariffs covering short time excursion rates and supplements to tariffs are not to be included in this list. If any changes are made, this list shall be corrected to date and be reprinted every three months. If carrier so desires, lists of its division sheets, official circulars, and of its own numbers of its tariffs or division sheets may appear in this publication.
