“a Much Too “Free” HE RAILROADS, merce commission Fates, admit that one of the reasons for their losing money these days is the special “free” service rendered shippers, in the form of “free” storage, “free” lighterage, load ing, etc. There was a time when the lighterage, loading, transfer @nd other charges were as “free” as they are today, that is, E were included in the through rate, AND, in those other Y, the railroads were in the habit of refunding to the big pers quite a bit of the rate in the form of a rebate i¢ way they used to have of doing this was in re funding the transfer or lighterage charges to the railroad Rerminal, or the storage charges, to the shipper or the re @eiver. These charges were carried on the way-bill as “ad pal charges. That is, if the through rate was, for instance, Cents a hundred, the railroad way-bill covering the freight ey shov dvance charges, 3 cents,” “rate 47 cents.” And ‘if the road was particularly anxious to get the freight they “would bill out the advance charges as 5 or 8 cents a hun dred pounds AND GIVE THAT AMOUNT TO THE SHIP. ‘ » SATISFIED WITH 45 OR 42 CENTS A HUNDRED e IR THEMSELVES Now, since the rebate laws have prohibited that prac- the rate is still the same and THE RAILROAD IS SUP- TO GET IT ALL WITHOUT REFUNDING ANY OF IT IN THE FORM OF A REBATE. Better or stronger soliciting agents have to be depended to get freight in competition with other railroads. Tt should be remembered that when these same services, the railroads say are “free,” were performed in the the rates were always based on the cost of these ices as they are now, “Free” service by a railroad, indeed! Did any one ever the railroads howling when they gave rebates of from 3 to 8 cents a hundred pounds just for the privilege of car- 5 that freight? fighting before the interstate for a 5 per cent increase in freight “free” logs, or Folks? [FE REGRET exceedingly that the dispatches did not give us more details of that suit to break the will of Chancellor Crafts, of Boston. Crafts cut some of his off without a cent but left a fund yielding $1,200 for the upkeep of his dog, “Pete.” “Undue influence” alleged, but the probate court sustains the will Who exercised the alleged “undue influenc is not ted. Very likely it was the dog. A dog who affects a man as to get the average support of two human families cer- ly has influence and that influence is “undue” from the that a dog is a dog. It will be urged that Crafts had a right to dispose of his th as he pleased. This may be plausible theory and iw, under the obsession of invulnerable property rights of t individual. But is it logical, sensible, moral or right? juppose that Crafts’ wealth consisted of a house that beauti- led and was useful to a community. Should he be permitted ‘ it down? Suppose that his wealth consisted of a of flour in a community that was starving. Should be permitted to destroy that food? We love a good dog but the amelioration of the condi- of one poor human being is more to be desired than comfort of a mifllion good dogs. As probate judge, we d have decided that Crafts was unduly influenced by ed or acquired folly, superinduced by “Pete,” contrary pod public policy. » However, the administrator of the Crafts estate can ‘ matters, if he has proper regard for humanity. He im buy $1,200 worth of meat and feed it into “Pete.” *} 4 It, Anyway! AAT E ARE all unlimited in our possibilities, if we would only think so,” says a very bright woman. Of course, this isn’t.so.
