CHANGE OF SENTIMENT.
Railway OmciaIs Now Opposing Rate
Discrimination.
Decial to &c Indianapolis JournaI.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, May 3.-"While the VIC
tory has not been very noisy one. there
has been big battle won for honest trans
portation rates" said Representative Cor
SIS while discussing the hearings which
have been taking place before the House
interstate and foreign commerce committee.
I'VE have had some of the biggest railroad
men of the country before our committee
on these hearings, and IL is 10 be noted
that they are admitting that il is proper
for the government TO pass laws TO punish
railroads who pay rebates and shippers
who accept rebates. Not long ago railroad
men would not admit that the government
had such a right"
These hearings have been on the bin
which Mr.. Corliss introduced giving the
Interstate-commerce Commission power TO
prevent the payment Of rebates, TO prevent
discrimination favorable To shippers and
localities and TO give the commission power
TO regulate rates when complaint was made
that the rate fixed by the railroad was
unjust. There has been such strong
testimony from competent men against re-
bates that we may now accept as convinc-
ing the fairness of such legislation. The
ldlHOdu men AUNT also the necessity OF
preventing determinations but they hesi-
tate 10 favor this because such a law is apt
to give the commission a power which they
are afraid Of. They are against giving the
government power TO fix rates. That GER
tainly is a debatable question. Even the
officers OF the Interstate-commerce Com
mission hesitate 20 ask for this great
power
1T is a difficult question 10 determine
how 10 prevent determinations without Civ
ing too much power 10 a government COM
mission. II freight discrimination exists
against Minneapolis. Detroit or other
points. or II IL exists against certain classes
of shippers. il amounts 10 nothing short OF
a commercial crime. Ii gives the trans
portation companies TOO much power over
the welfare OF communities or businesses.
Yet IL Is plain that no commission can abb
solutely prevent such discrimination unless
il is vested with the power 20 fN rates in
case Of a dispute. For instance. the COM
petition OF water transportation may force
a certain all-rail transportation on certain
articles between Duluth and Buffalo. or
Duluth and tidewater. The railroads may
only lower the rates between districts or
points involved by the water competition
il Is easy 20 be seen that this involves dis
crimination against other points and
against certain kinds OF freights Seasons
of the year also enter into the question
perhaps as the hearings progress we
shall have clearer view. IL is = salts
