I* ’eight rates have but little to do
with present high living costs, accord
ing to A. F. Haines, Vice President
and General Manager of The Admirm
Line.
“While it is true that our rates have
increased since 1914,” Haines said the
other day in Seattle, “they have not
increased in ratio to the increases in
commodity values nor in ratio, to the
increase in operating expenses.
“For instance , take the following
examples, chosen at random from a
t of eighteen food commodity s
handled by our lines between Seattle
and California and between Seattle,
and Alaska. North and Southbound
“Kleven commodities bandied on
tk» Cab forma route including
fruits, canned goods, sugar, cancel
milk ami canned fish, had an average

,» 91 nor cent, while the average
i‘.. ight rate on these same commodit
ies jr 19M was $4.18 per ton and in

:\\ per ton. or 79 per cent . The per
centage of freight charges to vahi • in
1911 was 3.0 percent and in 1919 but
