Just Discrimination in Railway Rates

Just Discrimination in Railway Rates
All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject in a 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 distinction which Is at once
apparent to common sense. There may
be discrimination in freight rates which
is just, reasonable and imperatively re-
quired 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 un-
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
cial 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
ernment 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
powering and urgent commercial con-
dition. New York Sun. -
