"jWsshTille, and other railroad companies
Scch are among the first to apply for relief
iShTl'h section of the law. The de-
S,» very long, comprising more than
thousand words, bat its most impor-
f r t feature is the announcement that the
mmission “after mature consideration is
thSed that the statute does not require it
^reproduce in every instance an txcep-
Vnasa and grant its order for the relief
k fore the currier is at liberty in its traffics
m depart from the general rule.
The carrier must judge for itself what are
ihJsubstantially similar cireumstanoes and
Editions wbion preclude the special rate,
J^bste or draw back which is made nnlaw-
wlMdbf the statute. er7on The
other hand, did Congress intend that the
existence of competition might in some
cases but dissimilar circum
stances and conditions which
would support a greater ohargo for a shorter
hsut, even though it might be over the
same line in the same direction, Bhorter ba-
ing inoluded in the longer distance.
The commission then reviews at some
length the history of the proceedings in
CoDgress which resulted in the adoption of
the 4th section as it now stands and comes
to the conclusion, that, in the House, as
woii as In the Sena e, it was understood that
the existence of competition was intended
to bo inoluded in the margin
ot direction provided for by
the Senate measure, and that iu finally
n gulating the long and short hanl clause of
the house bill, which prescribed an inflexi
ble role to not be departed from in any oaae
and retaining in anbatmee the fourth aeo-
tion as it bad passed the Senate, both houses
understood that they were not adopting the
measure of the stiiot prohibition in respaot
to charging more for a ^shorter than for
longer distanoca; bat that they were in
stead leaving the door open for exceptions
in onrtain cases, and among others in
oases where the oironmatanoes and condi
tions of traffii wero affeoted by the element
... n f competition, and where exceptions might

give more volume to the bnsincts as for
any anticipated net revenue; end the wrong,
have in snch cases far exoeeded
any possible advantages that could
acorne, either to roods themselves or to tho
inbiio. As between different localities, it
s no sonnd reason for discriminating in fa
vor of one as against another that the pur
pose is to bnild np a favoted locality as
trad* centres, and if discrimination has tx-
isted and has bsd its effect, the fact that
large establishments have thereby been en
couraged, la no reason why an Injustice
should be perpetuated. This statute aims
at equality of right and privileges, not less
between towns than between individuals,
and it will no more sanction preferential
rates for the purpose of perpetuating dis
tinctions than ot creating them.”
In conclusion the commission says
These general view, wilt indicate, as far
a* we deem at this time neoeesary, tho
bounds within which railway managers
most limit their aoti in in making ohaDges
which are greater in the aggregate
for transportation of passengers
of like kind of property f or
shorter than for longer distance over the
><ame line, in the same direction, theshorter
being included in the longer distance, with
responsibility to law and to the restraining
power of the Ocmmission, In case tbo
bounds are exceeded, it may be confidently
expected that all carriers will bring them
selves into conformity the general laws, so
far a, it may bo fonnd reasonably
practicable, sod that occasions for speoiai
interference will not be numerous. Our
observation sud investigations so far may
lead to the conclusion that strict confor
mity to the general rule is possible in the
large sections of the country; withont ma
terial injury either to publio or private in
teresis, sad that in ether sections
exceptions can be and onght to be made
mnob leas numerous than they have been
hitherto, and that the exceptions are ad
mitted the charges should be less
disproportionate and very many of
the roads, a, we are informed
havo so arranged their tariffs
as to make no exception whatever, and
where that has been proved to be reasonably
leasable tho return to the former custom
cannot be tolerated.
In any case in which the company fails to
bring its tariffs in conformity with the gen
eral rnle, and parties whose interests
are thereby nniavorsbly affected complain,
it must be prepared to justify its action by
a showing of tho circumstances and condi
tions which render it jnst and reasonable.
In the views above expressed, the members
of the eommissiob, after fall consideration,
are unanimous.
An order for temporary relief which was
mode in favor of the petitioner, will bo all
lowed to remain in force until the day
originally limited for its experation. Othet
petitions for relief under the fonrth sec
tion of the law, nnmber, the commission
siys, fifty-five. Temporary orders which
have been made in some of
these petitions, will, in like
manner be permitted to remain in force on
til the expiration of tho time originally
limited in each. No further order will be
made upon any of tho pititions, for si
though some two or thru' ot the o.i.ms,
may not, by the foots cited with applica
tions fo relief, be brought strictly within
the principles above disasssed, yet they all
present what are claimed to b-
different ciicnmstancos and conditions
adequate to authorlzs exceptions
