just Determination in Railway
Rates.

tt0t1O.
All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject in a responsible way
are likely to agree with President
Samuel Spencer Of the Southern Rail-
way when he says: There Is no divis-
ion Of opinion as to the desirability Of
stopping all secret or unjustly discrim-
1natory devices and practices Of what.
soever character"
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking Of "unjnst-
y discriminatory" rates and devices,
makes q distinction which 10 at once
apparent to Common sense. There may
be discrimination in freight rates
which Is just, reasonable and impera-
lively required by the complex com
nercial and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have
to deal. To abolish such open and
honest discrimination might paralyze
the industries Of cities, States and
whole sections Of cur national terri
tory.
This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination Is clearly recos-
nized In the conclusions Of the Inter.
national Railway Congress, published
yesterday:
Tariffs should Be based on commercial
principles. taking int account the special
conditions which bear upon the commercial
value Of the services rendered. With the
reservation that rates shall be charged with.
cut arbitrary discrimination to all shippers
alike under Ike conditions, the making Of
rates should a. far ~ possible have ali the
elasticity necessary TO permit .Ae Develop.
meut Of the traffic and to produce the great.

roads Themselves"
