YERNMENT CONTROL. OF FREIGHT
RATES.

President Roosevelt's S agitation of
government control Of freight rates is
bringing out considerable discussion
just now on the question, and he is
being backed up, Of course, by mum
Der Of the leading Republican jour
nails Of the north and cast. The
question is certainly one Of great i'm
portance, but the proposition of the
President is bordering on dangerous
ground, for if his idea prevails, the
next step probably would be govern
ment control Of railroads, and then
every employee on the great railroad
systems Of our country would hold
his job subject to the orders Of the
political bosses Of the party in power.
With such condition of affairs in cx.
istencc, the party in power would
have continuous hold on the govern
ment, could never be ous,ed and could
make rates on the railroads to suit
any State it favored.
In recent interview with the Rail
road Record G. Guuby Jo1dou, pTcsi-
dent Of the Eagle and Phoenix Cot.
ton Mills in Columbus, Ca, warns
tho South of the danger Of the pro-
posed legislation by Congress. He
says the South is now spinning more
cotton than the North. The North
has more spindlcs but the Southern
mills have more modern machinery
and turn out more. work. Mr.. Jor-
don also states that the Northern
manufacturers arc Dissatisfied because
the Southern mills hav" lower
railway rates to the west and can shi p
goods there on better terms than the
New England mills.
"Our rates now are as low or little
lower for all central and western terri
tory than those from the eastern
mills,' says Mr.. Jordan. 'In fact,
this is great cause for complaint
among the New England mills and
the New York jobbers who have seen
the products of tho Southern mills
enoroaching on territory that they
would like to retain exclusively for
themselves. Undoubtedly one Of the
first complaints that would. be made il

were given control over rates would

advantage Of the Southern mills.
Therefore, the proposed legislation,
giving rate'makipg power to this com.
mission or any similar body contains
. serious threat to the prosperity Of

Tor We could not continue to do bust
ness without favorable rates. The

which we do not possess. They are

York, Philadelphia and Baltimore and
they can obtain money ct q lower rate
