As to Rail Rates

The suggestion that railroad tar
ifs should be revised so as to shift
the burden of revenue production
more toward the "higher-cl class" COM
modities and away from "basic"
commodities, such as raw materials,
etc, is, in theory. a perfectly sound
one. The Wall Street Journal says
OF it: 'The flaw .. is that
rates are now and always have been
adjusted with careful regard for
what the traffic will bear"
The flaw in the Journals state
ment is two-fold; in the first place.
it is not true, and, in the second
place. if it were true, the argument
would not be a good one. The true
rule in rate-making is-not what
the traffic will bear but what the
traffic "snould' bear, and between
the two there is a mighty difference
Rates have not been, and are not
now, adjusted with careful regard to
what the traffic should bear. The
tariffs at present existing have, it
is true, prescriptive status which
should be respected in the main, hut
that they reflect anything at all
resembling scientific distribution
of the regional burdens of trans
portation over the business of the
regions is, to say the least extremely
unlikely The history of their maxi
ing and of the adjustments that have
from time to time been made under
regulation shows that these tariffs
resemble the growth of Topsy more
than anything else.
This is not to say that we have at
hand now the means to remake the
schedules in a thoroughly scientific
way. The task would be one of ex-
traordinary difficulty, because of its
extreme delicacy. The intra- region
al competitive equilibrium between
cities and districts which has grown
up under the various tariffs cannot
safely be disturbed. and 1t would
not take much of a change in a re-
gional tariff to disturb 1t.
Redistribution of the burden would
nave TO be done with great wisdom
and in utter freedom from improper
influence, political or otherwise. The
interstate commerce Commission is
far too greatly overworked to un
dertake 1t, and there is no body in
existence at this time to which the
duty could be committed. That a re-
vision could-at least theoretically-
be made without either making or
breaking cities or industries by up
setting their competitive relations is
however. reasonably clear. It is also
clear that such revision would he a
good thing-if we could get 1t.
me real flaw in the matter is
not in the idea itself: it is in the
fact that we are not, apparently. as
yet competent to carry the idea into
execution. Whether we shall ever
be competent is a question, but that
IS not a good reason for failing to
think correctly on the subject.

OF Ave judges, one appointed by each

This article also stated that a
request would be made to the gov

he might be tried. On January II,
