REGULAR TARIFF
FIXES EARNINGS
Attorney General Decides Re.
bates Must Not Be Deduct
ed From Gross Earnings.

The railroad and warehouse commis-
sion is in receipt of "a opinion from the
attorney general to the effect that orig
inal contracts between railroads and
shippers are to be reckoned in figuring
gross earnings instead Of the net re-
turns to the railroad.
The opinion is Of very great impor-
tance and will dispose Of a question
that has long been under considera-
tion.
The case put to the attorney general,
the title of which has not yet been
made public by the commission, recites
that contracts have been made with
shippers which provided for a certain
compensation according to tariff rates,
that the return in gross earnings have
been made on these contracts after re-
bate concessions had been made.
The opinion of the attorney general
is based upon the fact that the law
requires the publication of tariffs and
they constitute the legal rate; that any
rebate made is in contravention with
the law and illegal and that the orig
inal contract is all that the state can
reckon with in figuring gross earnings.
The case in question is an old one
and it is not contended that there is
any present violation of the law in the
matter of rebates, but the opinion is
important as 1T will cover a contention
extending back over several years.

CANADIAN MILITIA
SCHEME ABANDONED
Work of Lord DundonaId, Commands
ing, NuIIified by Disagreement.


OTTAWA, Ont,. March 20.-A diff
ference of opinion has arisen between
Sir Frederick Borden, minister of mill
tia, and the major general commanding
in regard to the militia organization
and the result may be that the term of
Lord Dundonald in Canada will be cut
short. In the estimates there is an
item for expenditure on capital ac-
count. in connection with the militia
organization. Lord Dundonald, it is
said, desires ten times more money in
this connection than the minister can
give.
AS consequence of the refusal the
elaborate scheme of the major general,
costing $12,000,0O0 and involving the
whole organization of the defense of
Canada, will have to be abandoned. 1t
is reported in OFFICIAL circles that Lord
DundoHald has the idea, which Gen.
Hutton held strongly, that it is the
general commanding and the imperial
authorities and not the minister and
the Canadian government that control
the militia. Sir Frederick takes issue
with him on this point
