THE LuMBERMEN,s REFUND.

! THE LUMBERMEN'S REFUND.
! The lumbermen have won the long
fight against the railroads in the yell
low pine litigation The controversy
larose from an increase of cents a
hundred in the rate for hauling yell
low pine, the excess charge making a
difference of several dollars for each
car brought from the south. There
was prompt objection on the part of
the lumber interests. but when this
failed to secure a modification OF the
rate and friendly negotiations proved
lunavailing the matter was taken into
the United States supreme court
which has just ratified the finding of
the interstate commerce commission
in favor of the lumbermen.
The amount of money involved in
the controversy is several millions of
dollars. This must be repaid by the
Offending railroads. among which is
the Illinois Central. To refgure the
charges on the yellow pine shipments
during four years will require some
llAlc anu tutlt may w utidg III s'N-
ting accounts in accordance with the
decision of the court. But as the
cast stands the lumbermen are pleas
ed with the prospect of the return of
perhaps $4,000 900.
An interesting ethical question has
been raised in connection with the
irehate One of the lumbermen who
is entitled to file his claim for a re-
fund Of excess charges says that he
would not be justified in collecting
for a loss which he really never sus-
tanned When the railroads raised
their rate on yellow pine the ship
pers Immediately advanced the price
Of the lumber from 80 to IS cents a
thousand The local dealers accept
ed the situation on the ground that
the freight charges had been in
Creased. and they, in turn. raised
their price 10 the local customer. The
man who paid for the cents a hun
.dred excess railroad rate was the lum-
Der buyer In the city or town in the
region affected by the increased rate.
Instead Of losing the shippers and
lumber dealers really gained. Under
such conditions one lumberman, att
least, says that he cannot claim any
refund.
II is no likely that the lumbermen I
in the JOY of victory will overhaul 7
their accounts during the last four
or five years in order to ascertain
how large a check to send to their To-
cal patrons or that the latter, If they |
were to receive these unexpected gifts
would look through their ledgers in
order to figure out the redistribution |
among their friends and neighbors |
who have purchased yellow pine. Ifl
there are many lumbermen who hest |
tate to take refund to which they |
may not be entitled as a matter of |
ethics. they may square things with |
their conscience by lowering for
time the rate on some of their sales |
to local dealers. and in the long run
the real sufferer by the exactions of ]
the railroads may be reimbursed

A little patch of smooth ice, an un-

causes of a painful and serious acci-

driveway against it's wishes. The
pony, being green and practically un-
broken, backed into the mail box and
fell, catching the riders limb in such
a manner as to break both bones near
the angle. The pony then got to its
feet and threw him, the fall shaking
him up pretty badly A physician was
called and reduced the fracture, but it
is certain that Silas is very FORUM
