MAY YFORCE
GOVERNOR TO
CURB ROADS
REBATING EVILS TO BE LAID
BEFORE GILLETT
Shippers Throughout State viii Ask
Chief Executive to Correct
Evils Perpetrated by
Corporations

Special to The Herald.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19.-Having
goaded the state board of railroad
commissioners into declaring that it
would begin 8. rebating probe if suf-
flcient funds were Forthcoming, the
shippers Of the state now plan to put
the responsibility for curbing the GRIM
inal tactics of the railroads squarely
up to Governor James N. Gillett.
Tuesday a commissioner of the Cali
fornia Traffic association will demand
a conference with the governor, at
which time 1t will lay before him ad-
ditional evidence of Illegal discrimina-
tions to that which was brought out
in the investig alton by the interstate
commerce commission.
The shippers will be represented by
an array of the best legal talent of
the state and Influence will be welded
on the governor to force him to au-
thorize the expenditures necessary to
conduct tho investigation. This the
governor is empowered to do.
Evidence of Rebating Found
New evidence of rebating and illegal
favors granted to big shippers has
been pouring into the headquarters of
the California Traffic association ever
eince the agitation for the enforcement
of the constitutional laws of the state
was begun.
Through the cry, MAKE the railroads
obey the statutes" first sounded by the
Los Angeles Herald, and taken up by
the press of the state, the light of day
has been shed on many shady transac-
tions hitherto hidden away in musty
tariff schedules, switching and demur-
rage receipts.
This evidence is being carefully COM
piled by the attorneys for the Cali
fornia Traffic association and will be
presented at the proper time to the
railroad commission, and, in case 1t
again refuses to act, to the courts.
