THE TRAFFIC BUREAU PROPOSITION
In inaugurating a movement to establish a traffic bureau the Con
mcrcial club has taen up a proposition that means many thousands of dol-
lars annually to the shippers of the city.
The plan briefly is to engage a thoroughly competent man at a good
salary to devote his time to looking after the interests of people who have
freight bills to pay. Such a man having made a sepcialty of his line and
having all information relative to rates and the law in the case before
would be prepared to protect the interests of shippers as they could be pro-
tected no other way.
A town never gets anything more than it demands in the way of con-
cessions from the railroads and it is lucky if it gets what it wants after
persistent effort. Rate making is a very complex subject and it is seldom
that the railroad companies can give sufficient attention to any one point to
adjust all differences satisfactorily and fix rates exactly as they should be.
Is a city has a man who makes it his business to present to the companies
the claims of the community which he represents and to demand exacty what
is right the railroads will make concessions that otherwise would never be
obtained. . -
Take the item of coal for example in which everyone is interested.
Chickasha pays an exorbitant freight rate on it. Has there ever been any
concerted effort on the part of the people of Chickasha to secure reductions?
When a general reduction was made some weeks ago on coal rates Okla-
homa City got a onedollar rate because she had a wide-awake competent
traffic man in charge of her interests. Chickasha asked for nothing and
the reduction she was given was small. It is the same with all other corr-
rcoditiea that are shipped in and out of the city.
All freight bills would be checked by the traffic manager and demand
made for the correction of any errors overcharges damages and claims
of all sorts. AVhen a merchant had a grievance he would report it to the
traffic manager who would tell him whether it was a just one or not; if
W'just the traffic man would take it to the railroads and if no satisfaction
wes obtained he would carry it to the courts..
An important question arises as to whether the volume of shipping
at Chickasha has reached the point where we can afford to pay the salary
that would be necessary to employ a competent man all the time. Oklahoma
City has such a man for years and Enid for some time has paid a salary of
$200 a month to a traffic 'manager. The volume of shipping over the Rock
Island alone in and out of Chickasha is almost equal to any three of the other
stations on the line in Oklahoma. With such a volume of business as this
it would appear that the shippers of the city could well afford to pay a
good man to look after their interests.
In Oklahoma City for a number of years they had a man of rare ability
who filled the positions of secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and man
aeer of the traffic bureau giving all his time to the work. Perhaps some
time in the future Chickasha may be in a position to make such an arrange-
ment. '
At any rate the traffic bureau proposition is one that should interest
all who are shippers as well as those who want to see the city become a dis
tributing center; for without fair rates the latter is impossible.

stitution now. They know a good thing when they see it and will not be
fooled by republican sophistry.
