SOUTHERN RAILWAY
RATE CUT IS DENIED
Failure to Reduce Pullman Chsrras
Also Is Given as Reason
for Action.
BY the Associated Press.


Failure Of the Southern Railway Co.
to reduce Pullman rates at the same
time 1t sought to reduce coach rates
resulted yesterday in the Interstate
Commerce Commission denying an an
plication Of the company for permission
to charge l u cents per mile for coach
fares on its lines west of Atlanta.
The company had been experiment.
ing with the l1a-cent rate in North
Carolina and Virginia and gave that a.
reason for seeking to establish the
lower rate west Of Atlanta.
Recently the Louisville q Nashville
Railroad Co. lowered coach rates to 2
cents per mile and at the same time
cut Pullman rates. The proposed lIs.
cent rate would have affected only that
portion Of the system which Completes
with the Louisville & Nashville.
The commission did not issue q re.
port on the Southerns application, but
1t WAS learned that the reason for turn
inS 1t down was the failure to take
some step to bring Pullman rates into
line with the coach rates. The commits.
sion felt that the spread Of apptoxi-
Inately 2h cents per mile between the
coach and Pullman rates was too great.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The month of February gave birth
to two men who have meant much
in the lives of the generations OF
Americans since their service to their
country in the strife-torn years of
frontiering.
Abraham Lincoln whose birthday
was observed Sunday is known as the
savior of his country and George
Washington whose birthday is Feb
ruary %, is known as the father OF
his country. The two men, compared
side by side are striking contrasts.
Washington was born in luxury of the
times and Lincoln was born in log
cabin with all the hardships that go
with pioneer life in the wilderness.
Washington faced the problem OF
helping his country in its oppressed
condition under the rule of Great
Britain and Lincoln was faced with
the problem of keeping that country
united. They both succeeded in their
efforts, but Washington lived to en-
Joy somewhat the fruits of his labors,
while Lincoln was shot by fanatic
in the midst of his glorious realiza-
tion of victory.
The sentiment which Lincoln once
spoke represents his character and
that of any sincere person to his
trust: Stand with anybody that
stands right. Stand with him while
he is right and part with him when
he goes wrong"
There have been greater generals
than Washington, there have been
greater statesmen, but there has been
no greater character. His memory
and the memory of his deeds have
been a guiding star to the American
people.

DIFFERS WITH MOSBEK

Editor Askov American:
AT the annual meeting of the Askov
Creamery Association Ludwig Mosbak
took the opportunity to criticize some
part of the proposed new cooperative
law for Minnesota. While some of
his criticism may be well founded,
part of it was not so in my opinion.
In the last part of section XVIII of
the proposed law we read as follows:
Any person who maliciOusly and
knowingly spreads false reports about
the finances or management or activi-
ty thereof shall be guilty of misde-
meanor for each such offense. and
shall be liable to the association ag-
grieved in a civil suit in the penal
sum of five hundred (S5OO.O0) for
each such Offense.
Why, | think this is a splendid par
agraph. 1t is, just such legislation we
need, and 1 don't think this para
graph, if it becomes law, will elimi-
nate sound and constructive criticism
lieve. Sound and constructive criti-
cism has its place, but not destructive
criticism, false reports, lies and mali

than theft and murder; crimes no
