Morton on Rate Question.
Secretary of the Navy Morton in an
article on railway rate regulation for
the current number Of the Outlook
comes out squarely in favor of polling
to cure the rebate evil. He also fayors
federal regulation and penalties for vic
aation Of rules. If not the Equalization
Of polls he believes that only two other
ways are open, one being the unifica-
hOn of the entire railway ownership of
the country in the hands of few in
dividuals or government ownership.
The latter he regards as ''the begin
ming Of an industrial and political
chaos" He thinks the only objection
TO combination Of any kind has been
when the combination resulted in ex-
scessive prices or inferior quality.
