American Freight Rates.

Burton Hanson, General Solicitor O. NJ. a.
st. j. Railway.
The railway rates Of this country
only average third of those OF Great
Britain and France, and half OF those
OF Germany, and very much less than
those OF any country in the world in
which railways are operated. Sixty
six per cent Of the traffic of Wisconsin
Is carried at an average rate less than
the averate rate OF the entire country,
and all OF il at an averare less than
half that of all other countries. This
last Is true generally OF all the middle
western states.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, rs we'll as all unbiased students
OF the transportation problem, agrees
that rates, OF themselves, as they
exist, are generally just and equitable,
and that the principal evil which
threatens, In the relations Of trans
portation companies To shippers, Is
the undue preference and the rebate.
1t is not easy to see how the power to
make rates conferred upon u railway
commission will in any manner what
ever affect the evil Of rebates or
undue preference 1t would be as easy
to grant rebate from a rate fixed by
commission rs it Is under the pres
ent law to grant one from rate fixed
by the railway. The law thai would
prevent granting rebate from II rate
fixed by the commission would prevent
granting ~ rebate from rate fixed by
the carrier.
n the evils Of transportation lie in
the undue preference Of any sort, it
Is clear that tho remedy for it is not in
taking away from the railways the
right to make the rates. 1t has not
been shown, and in the face Of the
facts as they exist, 1t cannot be shown
that the rates themselves, If they are
enforced alike for all, are unjust,
unreasonable or inequitable.
This present agitation Tor govern
ment control Of railroad rate making
power did not come into existence rs
the result of any popular demand on
the part of the people; it Is the crys-
talizaton Of political issue, manu-
featured for adventurous purposes.
Great Issues that spring from the
hearts Of the people find the leaders
that such issues require. Successful
politicians find the issues that the
conditions of success demand 1t is
significant that the demand for rail
way regulation came first from the
political stump, and not from the
field, the store, or the factory.
