Too Great a Risk.

has died from an attack Of collie or cholera

It is stated frequently that unlike the
shippers the railroads had a means of
recourse. That they under the law
could charge rates sufficient to pay
their operating expenses and a fair in
terest on the capital invested and that
they. if their losses We're now SO heavy
that it would be necessary, could raise
the rates sufficiently to pay for what
they had lost. This statement is not al
together true. 1t is true that they can
charge rates sufficient to pay their op-
Grating expenses and also a fair interest
on their capital but this does not in
clude the losses which they may sustain
The freight rates of a railroad are gov
erned to some extent by the interstate
commerce commission which is com
posed of men appointed ythe president
1t can be understood that a railroad
would not make an exorbitant rate sim
ply to recover losses without first get
ting permission from the commission
and making arrangements with all OF
the other railroads. This can not be
done on the spur of the moment and in
fact is never done

WIDESPREAD RATE WAR.
Likely to Follow in Case Western
Passenger Association CoIlapaes.

Chicago, June 20.-The Evening Post
says: The general opinion among vest
ern railroad men is that the Western
Passenger association with all its bu-
reaus is on the verge of collapse. It's
downfall is likely to be accompanied
by a widespread rate war. Indications
have pointed in this direction for sons
time, but the result of yesterday 5
meeting of the executive committee or
the association and the Chicago st
Paul lines has brought the expected end
considerably nearer and has made dis
solution almost inevita BILE. No hope is
entertained that the recommendation Of
the executive committee to substitute
a 2.00o-mile book good on all trains, for
the credential form of interchangeable
mileage now in use, will be adopted.
