TO the River Press. The announce
ment of the award brought forth a
volume of personal abuse from the
disappointed representative of the
Havre paper. who threatened the men,
bers Of the board with political ex-
termination and other penalties. This
was followed a few days later by a
petulant and malicious attack in the
columns of the P~laindealer. and ever
since that time it has availed itself of
every opportunity to manifest its
chagrin and desire for revenge.
That, in brief. is the story of what

do not believe it will be denied by
the public official named.
In view of the inability of the Plain
dealer TO appreciate the full meaning
of the term ''indiscretions," which
has been used in this discussion, we
would submit that it covers q wide
field OF conduct. 1t is bounded on
one side by exemplary behavior, on
the other side is q moral danger line,
to approach which means a damaged
crossing that line means
loss OF character. No reputable citi-

the teachers in our public schools and
our own children should be encouraged

to such deplorable results.
The River Press is not actu ated by
any motive other than a desire TO dis.
courage conduct that is not safe for
the teachers and school children to
follow. II believes it represents the
best interests of Chouteau county par
ents, OF which its editor is one, and
has no apology to offer for what has
been said in this connection. 1t be-
lieves the conditions will be better in
the future than they have been under
the present Administrations; but in the
event that there is no Improvement,
the position Of the River Press two
years hence will be similar to that
taken on this occasion.

RATE BILL IN EFFECT.
Railroad Transportation Charges Now
subject To Federal Supervision


subject To Federal Supervision
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The new rail.
road rate bill. which applies to all
railroads doing an interstate business.
will 60 into effect at midnight tonight.
II will be enforced by the interstate
commerce commission. According to
the new law, the roads we're to have
filed with the commission by midnight
all their tariffs and charges, showing
not only the full cost OF transporta-
ton from point to point, but also what
items go to the making up of this cost.
From tomorrow, on, there can be no
"extras," but the shipper is expected
to be able to obtain in advance a final
statement of the charge he has to meet.
1t was stated that, in fact, not a
single company has been able to com.
ply fully with the provisions of the
law requiring them to have all their
schedules on file by midnight. The
schedule of switching charges was the
most difficult OF completion and it is
said that no road has been able to
finish it in time to file as the law di.
rected. Under the law, every company
which fails to complete its schedules
may be fined, but it is understood that
the interstate commerce commission
will give additional time in every case
when a road has given evidence of
sincere intent to comply with the law.
TO discuss this and other points, a
committee, representing the big east
ern roads. will 90 to Washington TO.
morrow, IN order to meet the commits
sion. This conference will be attended
by representatives Of the anthracite
roads, who are anxious to obtain a
ruling from the commission on that
section OF the law which prohibits a
railroad from carrying from state to
state any article manufactured, mined
or produced by it, except for its own
use. This would include coal.
1t Is expected that shippers will find
themselves benefited by the provision
which requires the roads to include all
charges, of whatsoever nature, in
their quoted rates. Heretofore a
shipper has had to figure for himself
on icing, refrigerator and elevator
charges and the dozen or more other
incidentals, dickering with the sepa.
rate companies which had a hand in
transportation or care of his ship.
ment. Now the road must do that,
and the shipper meets but one charge
and deals with but one concern. All
the sources OF side charges are con.
solidated and priv ate cars, sidetracks,
terminals and elevators are made sub.
ject to the law.
The new law also requires the rail.
roads to establish a uniform system Of
accounting and to keep their books
open for inspection at all times by the
expert accountants of the commission.
The feature is expected to 60 far to.
ward aboIishing the rebate evil of the
past. The railroad accountants are
now comforting in regard to the uni.
form system of bookkeeping, which,
however, will not go into effect until
June l, next year. III the meantime
the commission has put its own ex.
perts at work, devising a system which
will be clear enough to suit the com.
mission.
