Just Discrimination in Railway Rates

Just Discrimination in Railway Rates
All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject in responsible way are
likely to agree with President Samuel
Spencer, of the Southern railway, when
he says: There is no division of opin-
ion as to the desirability of stopping
all secret or unjustly discriminatory
devices and practices of whatsoever
character"
Mr., Spencer, In speaking of unjust.
ly discriminatory" rates and devices.
makes a distinction which is at oncs
apparent to common sense. There may
be discrimination in freight rates when
Is just, reasonable and imperatively re-
CURED by the complex commercial and
geographical conditions with which ex.
pert rate makers have to deal. To abol.
ish such open and honest discrimination
might paralyze the industries Of cities,
states and whole sections of our national
territory
This distinction between just and I'M
Just discrimination is clearly recognized
in the conclusions of the International
Railway Congress, published yester-
day:
Tariffs should be based on commercial
principles, taking into account the special
conditions which bear upon the CONNER
cia value of the services rendered. With
the reservation that rates shall be charged
without 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 development of the traffic and to pro-
duce the greatest results to the public and
to the railroads themselves"
The.present proposal is, as Mr.. Walker
D. Hines, of Louisville, showed in his
remarkable testimony the other day
before the senate committee at Wash
ington, to crystalline flexible and justly
discriminatory rates into fixed govern
ment rates which cannot be changed
except by the Intervention Of some gov
eminent tribunal, and by this very
process to increase 'the temptation to
depart from the published rate and the
lawful rate in order to meet some over

dition. New York Sun.

they were living as man and wife at
a little hotel. From that date until

DESIRE FOR DRINK
Led William Lancaster to Imbibe
of Wood Alcohol from
Which He Died.

William Lancaster a painter by
trade died at Fordsville last Thurs
day night of wood alcohol poison
ing. He had for several days pre-
vious been painting on the new |. G..
depot which is being built at Fords-
vile and had been drinking freely
during the time. Wednesday a jug
of wood alcohol was brought to the
place by the superintendent, TO be
used in interior vanishing. The
superintendent told the men of the
dangerous character of the liquid
and, knowing that Lancaster had
been drinking, cautioned him in
particular. That afternoon Lancas-
ter took two small drinks of the Ii
quid without any perceptible bad eff
fects. The next morning he poured
a quantity of the liquid into bucket
and drank it. He become violently
i'll in a short time and physicians who
were summoned used all means to
relieve him of the poison but he grew
continually worse and late in the af-
ternoon died in great agony.

the practice of granting rebates or

Organization of County Work.

The scheme of organization is sim
pie, practical and business like. At
ter thorough conference with indi-
vidual Christian men in Ohio coun-
ty, convention was called to dis
.cuss conditions as well as the plan
of County Y. M. c. A. work. This
convention elects a county commit
tee of from fifteen to twenty-five
Christian business and professional
men representing the various towns
and villages. Ohio county has twen-
ty-one men. To this committee is
entrusted the supervision and extern
sion of the work throughout the
county. The convention empowers
this committee to secure the SER
vices of trained secretary, who
gives his entire time to the organi-
cation and development of the work.
The expenses are met by voluntary
contributions from persons within
the county.
