ELEVATION CHARGE
MUST STOPPED
Grain Exchange Loies Its Fight to
Keep the Elevation Allowance
Plan in Vogne.
AWAIT THE FULL DECISION
Grain dealers of Omaha and the
Grain Exchange are eagerly await
ing the arrival of the full text of the
order of the Interstate Commerce
commission, which orders the discon
tinuance of the allowance by the
roads of cent per bushel eleva
tion charges on grain that Is un
loaded In Omaha aod reloaded Into
other cars for further shipment.
Press dispatches have announced
that the commission has decided the
case against the Omaha Grain Ex
change, which organisation sought
to uphold this practice.
The practice began far hack l
IE, when roads leading Into Omaha
paid the grain man of a cent a bushel.
This was called an elevation allowance
or elevation chance, because when the
grain came In over one road It had to
be stored In an elevator before It waa
again loaded Into the cars of another
road to be shipped out. Thus a west
ern road terminating at Omaha would
unload Its grain In Omaha.
Later It was changed. Other roads
leading cast, south or southwest from
Omaha would naturally compete for the
business of hauling that grain out when
It should be ready to go on to Its final
destination. This competition ll to the
practice of the roads hauling the grain
out offering to stand the elevation
.charges here. Competition grew keen,
and then the Interstate t.'ommerrn com
mission declared M of a cent to be an
adequate charge.
Appeal to Oaimlaalna.
Pome time ago the southbound roads,
led by the Missouri Pacific, attempted
to cancel this charge on grain destined
to the southwest. They appealed to the
Interstate Commerce commlsalon.
The Omaha Oraln exchange, throuch
. C. D. Bturtevant. chairman of the trans
portation committee, and 1 I'. Smith,
attorney for the exrhange, asked the
commission to suapend the cam ellatlon,
pending an Investigation. Yh Investiga
tion has been made, and the commission
baa upheld the request of the southern
roads.
The ruling affects the Omah grain
dealers to a large estent, parti-vilarly on
jiraln destined to the sinth und south
west, because thla allowance, niuch once
meant thousands of dollars to them, will
no longer be permitted. On the eastern
roads It Is still to be tsrmltte1. as the
local grain exchange understands the
meager report.
. The local grain exchange has opened
the cancellation of this allowance on the
southbound roads on the grounds that
It was discriminatory within the n.eantng
tf the Sherman antl-trist law.
. The railroads defended the practice on
the ground that It was worth thtt much
to them to get their cars unloeted In a
hurry, ' .

New York. May 21. 1915.
Chalmers Motor Co
Detroit. Michigan.
Gentlemen: It teems tome thct it
would be only fair to the Chalmers Company
for me to express my opinion cf my car.
I have had it long enough to know it thor
oughly. The enthusiasm which goes with
the purchase of "something new has had
a chance to tone down a bit, and I can now
analyze the actions and the general make
up of the car much better than I could dur
ing. thefirst days of my possession of it.
w
A Buyer's Questions
Here'are a few things that the buyer of
a new car is sure to ask himself:
Could I have purchased a better car for
the same or a less amount?
Will it make a hit when I "show it off"
to my friends?
Is there anything about it that looks
cheap?
Is it comfortable to ride in?
Is the engine quiet?
Will the self-starter always start?
Is it easy to keep going?
Will it "ride the bumps?"
How will the local office handle any
kick?
These are not the questions of the tech
nical man nor of the expert automobilist.
They are the things that a business man
who drives his own car, will ask.
An Owner's Answers
Here are my answers:
I consider the Chalmers Car at $1,650.
the cheapest buy on the market. In
appearance, equipment, make-up, con
struction, power, flexibility, and comfort,
it is, to my way of thinking, superior to
cars selling at several hundred dollars more.
1 have had owners of higher priced cars ride
withVne and every man has expressed his
amazement at the ability of the Chalmers
Company to put out such a remarkable car
at such a very low price.
I never have to show off my ear to my
friends. They do the talking for me. TAsy
say, "Isn't it a beautiful car" "what fine
lines."a One of my associates in business
said, "it represents a combination of beauty
and evident strength such as I never hsve
seen b any other auto at anywhere near the
Erice. There is nothing thtap about one
ttle item."
CrnfortfoTthe Wife
Regarding the matter of comfort in rid
ing, my wife could best answer that ques
tion. She selected the left hand side of the
tonneau seat as her "place" in the car and
from the first ride of a few miles, tq one of
625 miles that we have just finished, she
has been thoroughly comfortable and
declares that even a long ride does not tire
her.
The quietness of the engine is a constant
surprise.

It purrs.
As for the self-starter, I never saw a bet
ter one. It doesn't go off with a loud,
grating noise. It does not whirr and buzz,
but just slips into action with scarcely a
sound.
As I am careful to give the car all the
gasoline, oil, water and grease that it needs,
it "keeps going" every minute. It is far
from being a greedy consumer of gasoline
and it demands a most moderate allowance
of oil.
. Rides tho "Bumps"
Will it ride the "bumps?" It certainly
will and does. There is a ioy in riding in a
car that travels over cobblestones, over
rough, rocky roads, over bumpy places,
without making the riders bounce up and
down like jumping jacks.
And finally, what about the Chalmers
service? Well, I know of no way to improve
it. I have not been in need of repairs
but the few little things I have needed have
been given such courteous and prompt
attention that I can appreciate why other
owners give so much praise to the way their
requests and complaints are attended to.
During the past month I hav made two
tours in New England. One covered the
cities of Connecticut, the other took in a
. dozen or more of the Massachusetts towns.
I averaged over one hundred miles a day, I
drove the car myself.
Never Any Trouble
Not once did I have any real trouble.
The tool kit, so far as I was concerned
might just as well have been left at home.
A little water, an occasional supply of
lubricating oil, the filling of the gasoline
tank whenever I saw an "attractive" price
at a supply station a screwing up of grease
cups that was all my Chalmers needed.
Think what the possession of such a car
means to a business man I Freedom from
complications so far as to the operation of
the car is concerned. Absence of worry
over possible break-downs. The luxury of
owning and operating a responsive, reliable,
speedy piece of machinery that will take
him a hundred or two hundred miles a day,
or a few miles through the parkways of his
own city. A car that his wife or his child
can drive. A car that he is proud to be
seen in.
And Always Economical
A car that is economical to operate and
which has an established reputation for
the way it keeps out of the repair shop.
And the business man gets all of this for
less than $1700.
Am I to be blamed for being so enthu
siastic about my Chalmers? It is a r-at
car and I am glad that I own one.
Yours sincerely,
E. D. GIBBS.
