Are the Packers Receiving Fair PLAY?

When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers ap-
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton, it was severely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three months
of publicity it is significant that those
who attempted to discredit it have
failed to coGtrovert the figures con-
tained in that exhaustive document.
The public is beginning to notice this
omission, and the feeling is rapidly
growing that the sensational charges
out of which the Beef Investigation"
arose were without foundation. If the
official statements of the report are
susceptible of contradiction, good
many people are now asking why the
facts and figures are not furnished 10
contradict them,
The truth seems to be that most of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
of this appear / in recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect that
forty Iowa banks were forced to close
their doors in 1904 by the Beef
Trusts manipulation of cattle prices"
Chief Clerk Cox, of the banking de-
partment Of the Iowa State Auditors
office, has tabulated the. list of banks
given in the magazine article and has
publicly denounced the statement as
utterly untrue. He gives Separately
the reasons for each failure mentioned
and officially states that they have
been caused by unwise speculations and
by reckless banking methods. 1t may
be well to suspend judgment upon the
packers until the charges against them
are proved.

Just DISCRIMINATION IN halfway Rarcs.
All railroad men qualified TO speak
on the subject in responsible way
are likely TO agree with President Sam
uel Spencer, of the Southern Railway,
when he says: "There Is no division of
opinion as to the desirabillty of stop
ping all secret or unjustly dlscrimina-
tory devices and practices of whatso-
ever character"
Mr.. Spencer. in speaking of unjust
ly discrimination" rates and devices,
makes Il distinction which is at once
apparent to common sense. There may
be discrimination in freight rates
which is just, reasonable and impera-
lively required by the complex COM
mercial and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have to
deal. To abolish such open and honest
discrimination might paralyze the in
dustries of cities, States and whole Sec
tions of our national territory.
This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog-
nized in the conclusions of the Inter-
national Railway Congress, published
yesterday:
"Tariffs should be based on commercial
principles taking into account the special
conditions which bear upon the commercial
value of the services rendered. With the
reservation that rates shall be charged with
out arbitrary discrimination to all shippers
alike under like conditions, the making OF
rates should as far as possible have all the
elasticity necessary to permit the develop
menr of the traffic and to produce the great
est results to the public and to the railroads
themselves"
The present proposal is, as Mr.. Walk
er ID. Hines, of Louisville, showed in
his remarkable testimony the other
day before the Senate Committee at
Washington, to crystalize flexible and
justly discriminatory rates into fixed
Government rates which cannot be
changed except by the intervention of
some Government tribunal, and by this
very process to increase "the tempta-
tion to depart from the published rate
and the lawful rate in order to meet
some overpowering and urgent COM
mercial condition."-New York Sun.
