Several suits of a similar nature were
already before the commission and Mr-
Dawson secured permission from the
commission to allow his suit to be oe-

shows more plainly than any words the
Injustice and absurdity of the rates on
coal From the Colorado fields to Jen-
nings, the first point in Kansas, the
rate is s3.45 per ton. To Phiinpsburg
Neb.. some 400 miles further on, it is
only $3.50 per ton. And to Wichita by
a roundabout way of some 400 miles, it
is only SO per ton. The further the
haul the less the rate. To the average
citizen this schedule of rates Is about
the worst case of discrimination on rec
ord.
From the Colorado fields to Phillips
burg it is a down hill grade all the
way and therefore many more cars or
coal can be coupled on to traln. an .L9l Ies
the rate per ton is much more for this
100 mile haul down mill than for the
200 mile h; ul to Omaha or to wichita.
The railroads can doubtless explain
this absurdity, using many tecnnlcdi
and intricate terms in the operation,
but it will be like making black appear
to be white.
AS long as rate making can be made
to appear as a difficult and abstract
science many crimes can be committed
in it's name against the fellows who pay
the freight, but all this cannot be car
ried to the point where the public must
believe that the longer the haul the
higher the rate. 1t is like a case of
paying more for goods wholesale than
retail
1t is also like the case of the cream
rates the state railroad board attempt
ed to establish where the increase was
made on the long haul and the decrea Sc
on the short haul.
All such arbitrary and questionable
rulings come under the head of anti
discrimination or square deal laws now
adays. and they can be dealt with in
proper and effective fashion.
