The tariff that is in force for the traffic of the State Railways
themselves dates from 1889, but since that year it has been revised in essential
particulars and is at present being submitted to a thorough re-casting.
First, as regards the goods traffic, there are certain fundamental principles
of calculation for freight-goods, for express-goods, and also for parcels,
living animals, vehicles, etc. As freight-goods is included the great
ore-traffic from the mines in Lappland. Of the total freight-income for goods
on the State lines in 1913, which amounted to 56-6 million kronor, there
was received from the Lappland-ore, carriage 13-8 million kronor, from
other freight-goods, parcels, and express-goods, 41-4 million kronor (of
which amount it was calculated that the parcels and express-goods yielded
2-8 million kronor), while the balance was obtained by the transport of
living animals, vehicles, etc. The freight-goods traffic is, consequently,
incomparably the most important. In the cases when no special
exceptional rates are granted, goods which are transported as freight-goods
are classified under the ordinary tariffs, by the assistance of a so-called
goods-classification, wherein respect is paid partly to the nature and the
value, etc. of the articles sent, and also to the size of space occupied by
the goods. The goods-classification in force dates from 1902, but includes
several alterations and additions of a later date. At the present time,
there are 14 different tariffs; the rates are lower the greater the distance,
i. e., the freight per km is lower for longer distances than for short ones
(for exemple, the freight in tariff 8 is 10 ore for 10 km; 47 ore for 100
km; and 195 ore for 1,000 km; all per 100 kg).
The tariffs for the carriage of passengers have been in force since 1906;
they are drawn up in accordance with the so-called zone-tariff, according
to which also there is an essentially lower rate per km for longer distances
