Tnis proposition Is a repetition of the old, old story of the spider and the fly. rwill you walk Into my parlor," said, ma spider to tne ny, "it is 101 pret tiest little parlor that ever , you -did- spy." The scneme is too patent to escape detection. I think It was Sol omon who said that It was In vain to spread the net m sight of any bird. ' President W. W. Flnley. of the Southern Railway Company, seems to A be ehief spokesman for the railroad, officials In support of the pending propositions. He publishes In some f ihi Aallv nanera of the 11th of J6ury -an., argument In support off htr contentions. It Is strong from his standpoint, aa all he writes and says is strong, and some of its fallacies may be overlooked unless attention is Call ed to them.. Perhaps some of those who were In the Legislature of 1807, or who appeared in the litigation over the ratee established by that Legisla ture owe it to- the people of the f tat to reply to Mr. Finley's article. . The first and greater part of.Mr. Finley's article deals with three ques tions. First, that it was not the un derstanding of the railroad officials, that they were to refrain Indefinitely from asking that the present railroad, rates be raised. w - f. Second, that the railroad companies as well ss all other tax payers have the right of petition to the legisla ture for the redrew of grievances, and that they are now doing exactly what the advocates of State rights said. In 1S0T and 1(08, should be done,' to- Wtt: resnectfully submit to State Con- trot 1 nira. tnat we present raies are 100 low. 'The latter Dart of his articles un der takes to justify the position of. the railroads In the matter of redeeming mileage books, and in the matter, of discrimination In freight rates. xi ST. shall attempt to answer these tHnts In the order In which tneyrri xuane. wh, 1 ininJi, goiieruj uw. derstood that the rata Axed at" the Special session In 1908 would not be disturbed, and I believe the railroads; crmtrlbuted to this understanding.' They urged peace and a cessation Of agitation, until It came to be under. atood that the rate question would, remain settled until after the Legls Jaure of ISO at least. If they did not agree to this policy they should Have said so when the opinion was being formed, and public expression was being given to It on the stuurp and through the press in the earn pntgn of 108. It to true much 'was said In the correspondence between the Governor and Mr. Finley prior to the special session of 1(08, about a temporary arrangement, but - this was with a view to get that Legi- 1st u re to csrry out Mr. Finley's Ideas, and turn the whole matter over to Hie Corporation Commission. I never thought the railroads wanted a p-. Clal session for any other purpose. Governor Glenn recommended to th Legislature that th Commission be. given power to fix rates after a year, but the Legislature had a respon sibility of its own, and some views an the subject, and declined after due consideration to carry out the ar fangement Mr. Flntey now Insists On. Senator Aycock, who is now on on the . Corporation Commission, and other Senators, voted for the Senate bill," which had the "Bux 'Ion amendment," in It Conferring the . power on the Commission to fix rates, with the explanation that they wer . opposed to that feature of th bill, but - voted for It with the feeling that the Bouse would not turn the whole mat' ter over to the Federal court to-fix rates by allowing th "Buxton amend ment", to remain In Jie bllL, The . House refused to take the course the railroads Insisted upon, and the rail-. ' roads accepted the settlement' If,' therefore. It b conceded for argu ment's sake, that the railroads-can u now without a bresoh of faith as.k.tpr . ' a change In the passenger rates; It 1 nevertheless true that the petition should be addressed directly to 'ithar . Legislature, and the railroad smould ' proceed upon th idea that the Legt- lature will be just, and In the event the Legislature thinks the rate are . fair and Just, th railroad should not Challenge the Integrity or Intelligence -f those who insist on Investigating and thinking for themselves. There is 4 . disposition..

X ' doubted that the centlemen reuresentlns tha railroads would keep faith and put mileage - books. In use aa before. I told ,hira that honorable men among them, and l mentioned " Mr. Fmley as one of them, would want to keep their agreement, put that -the policy ana conduct ox ta southern Hallway Company was -. determined by the) holders pf th I130.00s.009 ef com man' stock, all of which wss water, and that obligation of pledges, and t uaUce to' tbe traveling , pnbllo and the employes gave no concern to these holders; that ail, they wanted was to boost tha stock, on the New York market. Tha method of deeming mileage , books " ta without just location r -excuse. 'W. ' Mr. Flnley points out that the pur chaser or a tioket must go to.', tha ticket window for his ticket, and ar gues that It would b unfair and dis- cnminatory not to. require the hold er tof a . mlleag . book to. do so Ua loses sight of the fact that the pur chaser of a ,tlck,et goes ,to leave ,hl money, ana tne holder of a mileage book ha already been and left hi." rit is necessary for tit purchaser of a ticket to go to tha ticket office, and. therefore. -he goes without complaint; but It la an unnecessary and unreal sonapia requirement, for tha mileage dock nuiuer m go, una, - neroiore ne does jcomplaln. If th necessity ' ; lit the oha case existed as In th other' complaint would not . be mad, r am mora- eonvincea tnan 1 vr that there is no excuse for the re- qulrsment that holders of mileage books surrender their mileage at . tha ticket offices instead of on trains. I( there was good reason for it Mr, Flnley . would make .lt appear, . H says that when tickets are sold pru- dence-raefuiref that a record be made of the' transaction, 'and . tha tlcTceta taken up y the conductor furnish mesne of-checking up, acequpta, and srgoes that th same thing istru In, the -caso-of - a bolder-' of. ,,ar Tnfleaga book. . - 'The two oases ar tn no sense sim ilar. 4Wbn a man buys a . mileage Wok tha - railroad company which sells it makes a record of tha tran action at its ticket .office, and this record goes in to th auditing depart meat.

Tb two cases ar .radically different , It- s not altogether the- treubls of tha reOulrement, with referenc to mil ears books, that makes the meth od unpopular, but also tha fact that tha trouble Is unnecessary. The people of North Caroling ar so well Informed of the Injustice of tha discrimination against North Car olina points in the matter of freight rates, that I refer ta Mf.
