REBATING SHOWN
Continued from Page 1. Column ,

VINO might grant a rate on some ship
ment without knowing whether it was
to be regarded as a finished product, an
unfinished product or for what purpose
it was TO be used.
What means have you of following
cars from the point of loading to their
destination to see how the material
shipped is used?"
No means"
Isn't it trpe. therefore. that you
knew when sand was billed to the Pa
cihc glass company the rate was sl65,
when billed to the Illinois Pacific glass
company the rate was s1.25. and when
billed to the Henry Cowell company
the rate was $22"
Yes" answered the witness, and the
most important testimony Of the day
had been written into the record.

REBATE TO CITRUS UNION

Another point was driven home by
Webb when he called attention to a
special rate given the California pine
box and lumber company. The COM
pany makes boxes in which oranges are
shipped. The special rate was marked
"9 lilo per cent off when 10 citrus
fruit union points" The citrus fruit
union handles about half the California
orange crop. The other half is handled
through the California fruit exchange
Webb showed that the rebate had been
allowed the box company on its ship
ment of shocks to the citrus union peo-
pie and not on shipments to the Cal
ifornia fruit exchange. The special
rate was given. said Luce, to meet the
water competition on shocks from Ore
gon and Washington.
What is the meaning OF citrus union
points in this special rate?" asked
Cushing
The San Francisco call., 1908-03-12
GRAFT OFF GROWERS

Attention was called to the fact that
certain packers had received rebates on
shipments of their own customers The
fruit grower would ship the crop TO
the packer, the packer paying him for
the fruit less the cost of transportation
at the published rate. The packer. how
ever, paid the railroad a half rate and
pocketed the difference.
The attorney general also educed tes
timony to show that the rate on flour
from San Francisco to Watsonvflle was
$40 and special rate had been ar
ranged to Gonzales, II miles farther
south, of SO, which is in direct conflict
with the provisions of the constitution.
A little clash followed the discovery
that while the railroad company had
preserved records showing that the
California fruit Gamers association had
received a special half rate. il had no
records TO show what other fruit pack
ers had received on similar shipments
At the conclusion OF the session Webb
sought to establish the fact that the
purpose of the rebates was to destroy
competition among the shippers. Luce
stated that the published rate was a
class rate not intended for general
application. 1t was brought out that
the rates of the Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe were alike in the San Joa-
quin valley, where they are supposed
to be competitors.
Attorney Dunno in stating his posi-
tion on the question of switching
charges said that he believed the
charges should be made when the com
pany performed any extra service for
the shipper. This question is now be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion for adjudication.

SEGREGATION INH
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

There is one thing which the leg
isiature should give its attention to
when it meets in Phoenix next month
and that is to make definite the law
so that there may be no question re-
manning as to the authority of the
boards of education to provide for
the segregation of the white and col
ored children in school districts in
this territory. There seems to. be
some doubt now as to whether such
authority is given to school trustees.
II there is such doubt it should be
removed.
The negro population in Arizona is
not large it is true, but in some com
munities it is large cause for undesir-
able conditions when white and color
ed children are mixed in the same
school
The local school hoard Of Douglas
has taken the step of seggregating
the white and coiored children and IN
doing so we believe the act has been
sanctioned by very heavy majority
of the people of tho city. both while
and colored. There was objections
raised and doubt as to the propriety
Of the step. but we do not believe
this sentiment was general.
We want to see every child In Ari
iona, regardless of race or color. given
a free education, but we believe Il
would be better TO have the coIorec
children kept to themselves.
q is likely that this matter will re
cciye the attention of the coming leg
islature and it should.

BOOSTING FOR

The editor of the Paradise Record

trict:
snow that conditions for general
resumption OF activity in the copper
mining world are syadually becom-
ing more and more favorable. and will
probably be as inviting as ever dur

ment seekers are beginning TO turn
their attention to promising mining
districts of the southwest.
'aTo all such seekers. and especially
to capitalists and influential mining
men OF Douglas. Bisbee. and the Mich
igan copper country. we say: Inves-
tigate the merits Of the Paradise dis
trict. Take no mans word for an
opinion of the district, but come and
see for yourself. There are those who
exaggerate and those who disparage-
for reasons of their own. We do not
ask you to take our word for 1t,
though the Record has, we believe.
the reputation of being conservative
and truthful In describing the district
and its properties. The editor
Though not mining man. has with
out doubt visited more mining prop
critics in this district than any other
one man, these visits covering a per
iod of three years; and his opinion
of the district might therefore be en-
titled to some consideration. We think
highly of the district, but we do not
ask you to accept our opinion Come

the courtesy to do so before you ex-

that the district is very large one.
Generally speaking, it is probably
best TO divide the district into two
entirely different parasitic foothilI
belt and the mountain belt, and we
want to say right here and now that
no one who has not seen both belts
has seen the Paradise district
From personal observation and in
formation. we are convinced that this
district has the right copper indica-
lions and groupings, that ore In guam
tity has been demonstrated In sever
al different places al q vertical depth
of 500 feet or less, and that this min
eralized belt covers an unusually
large area.
Come and see if these statements
are not true. Learn what companies
are represented and annually do as
sessment work here at great expense,
and why. Investigate thoroughly and
honestly-and we do not fear your
verdict"

THE ISSUES OF

Now that there has been nothing
of special interest in the message Of
President Roosevelt, other than the
reiteration of former recommendations
made by him, it NAV be expected that
the two most prominent issues dur.

congress win be tbs consideration of
the necessity for the Improvement of
water transportation and the expendi-
lures, revenues and taxation by the
federal government.
The advocates of internal waterway
Improvement must fight hard and in
telIigently if they overcome the stub

When Mr.. Roosevelt issued notice
