1T is erroneous to conclude that they
are just and reasonable ior every car
rler to retain merely because Congress
mas established them. They are TO be
established not for any particular car
rler or for any specific service by any
particular carrier. They are TO be ad-
Justed to level necessary to sustain
trans portation in the aggregate or in
the group. They are not. as erroneous
" assumed by Mr.. Hughes, deemed
just and reasonable for the service :
rendered. On the contrary. they are
expressly. declared to be necessarily in
excess OF what is just and reasonable
for the service rendered by particular
carriers They are nevertheless Just
and reasonable as uniform rate for
the shlpper to pay, as 1t is obvlousl Y
just and reasonable for the shipper to
pay Whatever is necessary to keep alive
the essential agencies of transports-
ton in competitive areas. but that is
very different from the assumption that
rates made on a group or aggregate
basis have been declared to be i ust and
reasonable as 10 every carrier and
every service. Any such conclusion
rests upon the hypothesis that Con
gress must perpetuate that discredited
method of establishing rates which is
based exclusively on the cost or value
OF each particular service.
Congress may undoubtedly make
rates for the future for any carrier
based on the best available data with
the hope that the rate structure thus
guessed at will produce reasonable
return. or it may permit rates which
are relatively just and free from dis
crimination but which, so far as the
carrier IS concerned, are tentative and
subject to the test of actual results.
The Qualified Retention
