Long and Short Haul Again.

The opening of the Panama canal promises
TO resurrect the old contention about the long
and short haul, because the railroads in asking
authority to make competitive rates to Pacific
coast ports insist on being allowed to reduce
their charges on through business without re-
1ucing rates In the inter-mountain country over
intervening territory.
IL Is explained behalf of the railroads
that they cannot afford to meet canal COM
petition. If they obliged to make correspond
ing reductions to intermediate points, and that
they would rather surrender the other business
to the canal II forced to alternative. On the
other side, the only direct benefit which interior
points can have from the nations investment in
the canal, TO which they have all contributed.
must come from reduced transportation charges
on the goods they consume and these reductions
can come only through the effect Of the COM
petition between water and rail rates. II the
coast points alone are to have the advantage
sccruing from canal traffic, then the canal will
prove to be detriment to the people of the in
terror cities.
This is much bigger problem than would
appear on the surface affecting as II must the
Industrial development OF the whole western
country and It will deyolve on the Interstate
Commerce commission to treat II ON broad lines
