USEFUL AND FAIR

Mr.. President, there should be no fmita-
,;ons 10 these conditions. Railroad experts
NAV, aud do, advance plausible theories for
retslnipv this unlimited control over ship
msnts along the lines Of the roads, but
there can be no just and equitsOls reason
for n. A railroad company may say that
II can haul q loaded esrtVics the distance
nndsr certain conditions for the same
smoppt that it would haul another car,
Similarly loaded, one-half the distance.
That means that 9 loaded car can be hauled
q Uiven distance for nothing, but no rail

only Affects soupsrstisel lev localities,
but that provision, in my Judgment, is also
very Objectionable, for it discriuinst.s

All railroads must depend chiefly for
support Oh the traffic originating along the
lines lines OF their roads, and for that
reason to encourage aud build up their 10.
cal business. This is o welLrecognized
fact. Then why should this great prepon'
de-suce of local traffic be subordinated to
the c~sprices Of q com sralively small
amouni of tIsGc from through competi'
tive points,
Take, for instance, the
TONNAGE OVER THE PENNSYLVANIA All
ROAD
I on its lain line east OF Pittsburg, and the
statistics for the past four years show that
a fraction over 80 per cent. origtnatsd on
its Use, and only about 10 per cent. OF
what is called through freight originated
and came to it from lines vest Of PIttsburg
Aud what is true Of the Pennsylvania rail,
road is true to q greater or less extent oil
all other railroads.
This statement differs greatly from the
c~ensrsl impression in regard to the extent
and volume Of what is called through
freights, and ! call the stteLtioa OF Seus

traffic passing over the Pennsylvania rail
road east of PiItsburg originates on its line
and that only 10 Per can't. comes IRON
west of PitlsbSrg-tbe proportion may

percentage or through freight is the cub
iect of nearly all the railroad wars and rate
cuttings that disturb the transportation o
the country. Is It Bos therefore fair, Mr.
President, to shippers, and good policy OF
the part OF the railroads, that the so pc
cent. of local freights originating along III,
line Of the road should, within certain
limits, govern the rate on the 10 per cent
OF through business
Mr.. Fink says that the tariffs on tn
