]. ]. HILL ON RATES.
Says Cost of Transportation Is the Only
Fair Basis.

Washington, May 4.-James J. Hill,
president of the Great Northern Rail-
way, appeared before the senate com
mittee on interstate comemrce yester-
day and gave his views in regard to
the proposed railway rate legislation.
Mr. Hill talked Interestingly Of pres
ent railway conditions, starting off with
the assertion that there was only one
safe basis upon which low rates eoulo
be made, and that was low cost of
producing transportation.
It was generally taken in this coun-
try that rate made was always com
pensatory. Conditions under which
rates were made change almost daily,
and a rate that was compensatory to-
day might not be so tomorrow.
"The railroad said Mr.. Hill, SIS hard
and fast up against the proposition that
if a railroad makes at rate it must
always stand That is the reason for
keeping rates up more than anything
else"
