just DISCRIMINATION in Railway Rates.


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 desirability of stop
ping all secret or unjuStly discrimina-
tory devices and practices OF whatso-
ever character"
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking OF unjust
ly discriminatory" rates and devices,
makes distinction which is at once
apparent TO common sense. There may
he 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
tons 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:
IdTiHS SnOulu De DaSeu 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
ment 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-
ton to depart from the published rate
and the lawful rate in order to meet
some overpOwerlng and urgent COM
mercial condition. York Sun.
