THE railway passenger men in
these parts have had a number of
spats recently. One is accused of
cutting the pooling rate , while
another charged with secretly pay
ing commissions or otherwise us
ing crooked methods for securing
business. It is crimination and
recrimination. A joint rate is
established to day only to be
shaved tomorrow by one or the
other party to the pool. A traffic
pool was never formed and kept
inviolate , and the chances are , one
never will be. Of course , the
traveler gets the benefit of any cut
rate , and from his stand point the
deeper the cut the better. These
passenger rate wars , however , do
not as a rule inure to the public
benefit in the end. The people
in some way must make up the
losses. An elective railway com
mission might make this a subject
of investigation on the part of the
state. A cut rate from Chadron
to the Missouri river means that a
railroad making it can afford to
carry passengers at a less rate than
is required by law. The railway
commission might rule that a re
duced rate given to one party of
tourists must also be extended to
every party of tourists. Bee.
