as l warmed up to my subject he in
ler1ected little questions that showed
me he was following my line aof rea-
soning. I did my prettiest. Told him
now one of our men would meet him
at the train from the north when it ar
rived early in the day. How the at
tendant would see that his comfort
was carefully regarded, and even that
the man would show him around town
or put him in the way of seeing the
sights of st. Paul, and finally that his
baggage would be gently treated and
put aboard our train. I explained
tnatgWe would see that he had berth
reserved and that every possible effort

He took it all in, and as 1t was the
sober truth and the common practice

When had finished he leaned back
In his chair and looked at me with a

then it broke on me. I was SO mad +

HANNAFORD TALKS Of
RATE COMMISSION
Says Local knowledge of Body
Must Necessarily Be
Limited

julie M. Hannaford, vice president Of
the Northern Pacific, who is at present
on trip of inspection over the lines
with Traffic Manager j. G. Woodwork
and General Freight Agent Baird, gave
out an interview in Spokane on the
pending legislation in congress relative
to the governmental regulation of rates.
Mr.. Hannaford is strongly against
the delegation of rate making powers
to any commission and gave his rea-
sons, as follows:
If the traffic departments of railroads
are unable to give general satisfaction by
their efforts, how can it be expected that
a commission composed of men who may
or may not be expert traffic men will be
able to do any better?
There are 5000 miles of track in the
Northern Pacific system, and will ven.
ture to say that there are few shippers
who think the rate making could be
framed differently on this road and at.
the same time it would not do them any
partment is constantly. studying condi-'
lions that apply to particular branches of
traffic In specific localities, there is al
ways more or less protest.
Now how could the manager of one
of the big Southern roads, for instance
make rates for the Northern Pacific that
would. be any better for the general pub
lie than we can?
In all probability he has troubles enough
of his own, despite the fact that he is
favored by an intimate knowledge of his
own line.
If the commission should be made up
of men who Were pre-eTninent in railroad
traffic, and was composed of five of the
best railroad men in the country, it. is
easy to see that they could not bring,
to their deliberations enough detailed in
formation as to local conditions to war
rant the belief that the rates they would
make would be any more satisfactory,
than those in effect at present.
The public does not want the railroads
to be confiscated any more than the rail
roads want the public to be robbed-and
that in spite of the ranting of dema-
gogues. Both sides in the controversy are
reasonable and in the main cool-headed.
With regard to rehating and its at
tendant evils would say that every rail-
road man in the whole country is un-
alterably opposed to it. Traffic that has
to be secured by money payment to the
shipper is costly business to the railroad
that. gets it. 1 am anxious to see the,
Northern Pacific keep out of the hands
of a receiver and from that fact alone /
am against rebating, root and branch.

Tonight the Minneapolis city coun-

which provides that in the event a

because of any infraction of the law
only half of the fec for the unexpired
term will be refunded
This ordinance was a most popular

revived by its author.
The present ordinance provides that
in the event of revocation the entire
fee for the uneXpired terms shall be
refunded and when the Clark ordinance
appears this evening it is expected it
will be amended in many particulars, If
