This compauy, in June last, notified the that ow o the action of ¢ ¢ rates be commission upeting lines cove tween Chicago and St Paul and Minneapo fis, it had been obligel to reduce its own | rates betweon those points below tho rates which it could atford to accopt betweoen in- termediate points, so that upon its line thero would be greater charges made upon the shorter haul than upon the long in the same direction, and it stated that if com- plaint should be made of this it would under- take to justify its action under tho inter-state commerce law. The commission thercupon made an order for a hearing to be held at Dubuque, ut which this company would bo called upon to Justify its action, and for noti- fication, so that other companies interestod, and also any commercial organization or uny other party desiring to b heard have an opportunity, The hearing was accordingly had, and on the hearing the respondent comphny gave evidence tendin to show that the action it had taken w forced upon it by the Burlington & Northern railroad company, which made a rate be tween Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis be. low that which would be_compensatory, and below what it was possible for any’ com peting lines to make without actual 10ss, and it produced evidence tending str show that the Burlington & Nor were not paving Chicago, Milwaukee & peared und offered similar _eviden a similar position to that of th company. The Burlington & Northern, on the other hund, was represented by its gen eral officers, aid insisted that its rates v operating e 1 remunerative, and 1 that cepting them \without making at a greater charge upon the shorter evidence that its receipts were suf to cover operating expenses was not very strong’ and it clearly uppeared that for the current ye: it was falling behind, The respondent company in sisted that the commission should v sanction the rates it was making to mediate statio: between 1ts nini, were rates fair in themselves, ¢ should order the 1 izton & Northern to increase its rates betwes Chicago and St Paul aud nneapolis $o o mal them Just und reasonable to carrl the Selves, as well as to the public.

In this respect it was supposed that the rail- road companies had ample remedy in their own hands in the authorily which they possessed to m ates, and that the protection needed from the government was the protection of those who would be come pelled to pay the rates that should thus be mad I'he further question W discussed whether the fact that the Burlington & Northern made rates which were unveason ade out the dissimilar circum stances and condition under the fourth sec- tion of the act which would entitle the re- spondent company to muke u greater charge ably low, 1 on the shorter haul. The respondent con tended that if the commnssion could not con trol the making of destructively low rates the competition of railroads which were sub ject to the act to regulate commeree was just us havmul as was the competition of vessels or the competition of railroads not subject to the aet, und therefore the competition of the Burlinfton & Northern at the terminal pointa of the respondent’s rond established such dissimilar circumstances and conditions as justified its charging less at such terminal points than at intermediate stations. The commission does not assent to this view. The showing of respondent is merely that of a perverse rival which makes souably low rates to the tern ad, but it this malkes out the dissimi ances and conditions intended by the L sec tion of the act, then any one road mana- gor in the northwest may, at pleasure, by a foolish tariff sheet, give to one or more points of railroad competition prefercnce and ad- tage over all others, aud this would de- at one of the leading purposes had in view dopting the nct, which was to put an end s which before we S0 com t localitics, iof in to discriminatic mon between differe “The nct itseif would thercfore, as to one of its leading purposes, bo dependent on the will of any single 1ro: ma who, from policy or perversity, might see fit to nullify it. The effect of ‘the doctrine con- tended foron the part of the respondent would be that railroud companies, if they choose to do 50, may at will build ub a sinele point in the northwest to a_preponderating and o usive ascendency at tl rxpense of all others, and by giving it rates which, in proportion, would be a mere fraction of what other local ities must pay, might fix its ascendancy with little regard to natural or other advan. tazes. It will not do to say that rates to inter medinte stat 8 are just and fairin and of themse s, 'The question of what are just and fair rates is alway relative. Low rates to one pl may not be just and fair if still | rates o given to rival T'he commission therefore finds and adjudgos the transpo <hts by the respondent upon its 1o g0 10 the St.Paul, Minucapolis stransfor, and from its northern termmus to Chicago, is made under substantially similar circum- stances and eonditions to those un which like freights are transported on the same line from the same initial point or points in the same direction to intermediate stations and, h being the ease, th the greater charzes which the respondent makes to such intermediate stations ave_illegal.
