Billings Creamery a Success.

BILLINGS, April !. ~ Wednesday
was the first monthly payday OF the
Billings creamery since the plant was
put in operation, and the results OF
the first months business were made
gratifying to the officers of the com.
pany.
The daily output Of the creamery
has been from 300 to 400 pounds OF
butter for the first month, and the
business is increasing at a rapid rate
as the warm weather bring on the new
grass. At the rate business is now
increasing the company will within a
week be paying out $3.50 daily for
milk and ream. The entire output
OF the factory is taken up in the local
market, but it is expected that there
will be a small surplus for shipment
to outside towns within q short time.
There are about forty farmers who
are patrons of the creamery, and who
deliver their product daily to the plant.
The milk is proving to be OF excep.
tionally fine quality, rich in butter fat
and entirely satisfactory.

Comptroller Of Treasury Says Govern

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The CONN.
troller of the treasury has rendered q
decision in which he criticizes the pro.
dosed action Of the secretary of the IN.
terror in accepting rebates from the
Southern Pacific railroad on the
freight of contractors engaged in work
In the west under the irrigation and
reclamation act, 10 q communication
TO the comptroller on March 20, last.
the secretary Of the interior says:
"The government above all others.
should not be a party to q violation
of either the letter or spirit of the in.
terstate commerce act as regards the
question of rebates. It should not en-.
gage in questionable transactions in
order that a saving of = few dollars
may be had, especially when the saw.
Ing results in the tearing down of a
law which experience proves is very
difficult If not impossible to enforce"
The interior department replied to
this letter, insisting on the legality of
their proposed action and stating that
the rebates IN question would proba.
bly, amount to a million dollars in
the next years. In the course
of his response to this letter the
comptroller says that the amount of
these rebates being large is a cogent
reason why the government should
make no mistake by being a party or
a beneficiary of the violation of the
law prohibiting the giving of discrim.
mating rebates. He says:
II advise that, before you take re.
bates from the railroads on the car.
riage of property belonging to the
contractors, shipped by
them and paid by them at the regular

Charles S. Mellen, president of the

matter OF government supervision of

ness sense, which II the last analysis
is the very best thing upon which to
base q discussion of what is essential
ly q business problem. Mr.. Mellen's
position is this:
"A railroad enjoys great privileges
from the public. 1t performs a public
service, it imposes a tax which should
be alike to all who use it, and if it
cannot handle itself without discrim.
ination between persons and places,
and treat all alike fairly, it is time
for the public which created it, to
supervise it and control it, when it
has shown it cannot be trusted to con-
troll ITSELF"
This is good so far as it goes. Mr..
Mellen admits, and everybody knows,
that grave abuses have grown up
which should be laid bare and stop.
ped. II the railroads will not correct
them, then governmental authority
must do it: and that is what it Is pro.
posed the interstate commerce commits.
sion shall do when it Is clothed with
adequate authority.
But II the railroads which enjoy
great privileges from the public can
be guilty of abuses arising from un.
fair discrimin a%tions, may they not
also err in establishing extortionate
charges? II greed prompts them TO do
wrong IN the one instance, why will it
not impel them to do it in another?:
And it they should be brought to &C.
count by the government for the one
fault, why is it not reasonable, logical
and businesslike that they be com.
PEELED to do the right thing in the
other.
