the interests OF the shippers. An Ohio
member, in talking about this matter
yesterday. said:
There would be no Injustice whatever
In fixing a maximum rate OF two cents
mile on all railroads. except possibly
those mountain roads that are expensive
OF construction and the roads which run
through new territory, where the popu-
lation is sparse.
IL would vote for such a provision The
roads are glad to sell mileage at two
cents. and ! sec no reason why man
who buys 1000 miles at a time should get
n cheaper rate than the one who buys
a single trlpticket. And another thing
which / think should be corrected is the
practice OF railroads charging $50 for n
lOo0-mile book and giving q rebate OF $40
on return OF the cover.
"In this way the roads get the use of a
large sum OF money tied up I'm rebates

Washington. Jan S-New railway legis-
lation, differing from the rate-making
project has been discussed in private by
congressman during the past week or so.
Two laws are under consideration. one
Of them relates to the railway charges
for transporting passengers and the other
has to do with the heavy expense TO
which the government is put for carrying
the mails.
II is probable that when the railroad
rate regulation bill is reported 20 the
house IL may contain provision that the
maximum fare 10 be charged for passen-
gers on all railroads east of the Mississ-
ippi river shall be two cents A mile.
The proposition has been presented TO
members OF the house committee on In
ter-state commerce, and while no decision
has been reached there are number Of
members who favor it's adoption.
II Is the opinion Of congressman that
IL would not be fair or just to fiX the
same maximum rate for all railroads
Those which traverse mountainous re-
gions cost more TO construct and maintain
and those which run through sparsely
settled territory have not the field for
traffic that all the others have. But II
is argued that all the roads east OF the
Mississippi could properly ne Cla~Sed To-
