COMMISSION ARRAiGNED.


Fate cutting Still the Greatest EVIL from
w ich Roads Arc Suffering.
Every one who has any knowledge of
railroad history knows that the Interstate
act was directed in no small measure
against the abuses which had grown UP
in railroad management arts ng out of the
practice of granting srecial rates to ia
vored shippers, says the Financial Chroni-
Gle and thus building up the business ana
fortunes Of these sAipners to the detri-
ment of their rivals. At the time OF the
passage of the interstate law that form Of
constituted an unpleasant feature of rail
road affairs and 1t was tine purpose of the
act to eradicate the evil altogether. This
purpose it must he admitted. has not
been attained. for rate cutting caused 10y
the granting of rebates, conceSs Ons, etc,
to special shippers. still constitutes the
greatest evil from which railroads are
suffering.
No one will contend that the members
of the commission should travel over the
country acting the part Of spies against
tho railroads, hut the law makes rate cut
ting n crime and ii Is as much the com
missions duty to see that this provision
of the statute is observed as any other.
There is today no more insidious and cry
ing evi,-none more harmful to shippers
and threatening to the roads-than rate

tn task of correcting il as far as the
means within its power permit: Such n
nolicy should render the act Valueless in
the one particular I'm which it is capable
of accomplishing the most good.
