Ruling of the interstate Board
That Is of Interest to
News paper Men.
NO MORE PASSES FOR THE PRESS
Contract TO Pay for Transportation in
Advertising Not Good.
Must Involve Some Discrimination
Says President Knapp-How He
Interprets the Statute
Regulating Rates.

Washington, Oct 26.-Under a rub
ing of the interstate commerce COM
mission transportation over railroad
lines no longer may be given to news
paper publishers or editors in ex-
change for advertising space in their
newspapers. A protest against this
ruling has been received by the COM
mission from the Massachusetts Press
association. through William ]. Heffcr-
man, the secretary Of the association.
In Hefferman's communication he
says that the association unanimously
voted to ENTER its protest against the
reported ruling in holding that the
payment for railroad transportation at
full rates in advertising shall be treat
ed on any other basis than that Of
transportation paid for in cash.
Law Requires Cash Transactions.
In a letter to Secretary Hefferman
IN response to the protest Chairman
Knapp, of the commission, says In
art, after quoting the section of the
law which prohibits the issuance OF
free transportation or transportation
paid for in any other way than in
cash: You are, of course, aware that
all tariffs filed in compliance with the
regulating statute name rates In dol
lars and cents, and do not in any case
provide that transportation can be paid
for with property. 1t seems plain to
tho commission that the law above
quoted, coupled with the fact stated,
permits payment for services OF inter
state carriers only in money.
Facilities Not Private Property.
This ruling of the commission in
no way interferes with or abridges
the rights of private contracts. News
papers and their advertising space may
be freely exchanged for any species
Of property upon such terms as may
be acceptable to the parties to the
transaction, but the facilities of the
! public carrier are not private property,
nor are they the subject of bargain
and sale like merchandise The right
to travel or have property carried by
rail. like the right to the common high
way, is not a contract right, but a
political right. tho very essence OF
which s equality.
Must Involve Discrimination.
"Conceding that the advertising ar
engagements in question are ordinarily
made and carried out in good faith it
seems plain to me that these arrange
ments must as practical matter in
volvc some measures of discrimination,
and it is not easy for me to see how
an honest newspaper can seriously OBJ
jcct to a ruling of the commission,
which appears to be in obvious accord
with the provisions and the purposes
of the regulating statute"
