VOneof the most perfectly, hon
est .men in the country is Mr. J .
Elwood Cox, of High Point, and
he is a member of the Friends com-

in -.his testimony before the r inter-
State commerce committee in Wash
ingr he should have given the
Southern Railway . Company exact
justice, lie said that altheugh the
Southern"' had no competitor, '--'It
treated him and Mother shippers
fairly.",. There may be discrimin
ation iir some cases, but, it may be
set down as a fact thatthere is none
against tiign roinu
To the Editor of the Chronicle:
I desire to thank you for the
kindly reference to me editorially
in your issue of 11 th. ;
Ii do not know your opinion in
regard to this question of railroad
rates' now so prominently before
theTpublic but you at least give a
man "credit for 1 being honest in his
ooinion. ; Ouite different from the,
editor of a daily paper in another
North Carolina city, m his issue ot
May,. 13th; He appare'nt(y gives
no man credit for being, possessed
of . common honesty who does not
agree with him. ,. .

that when I clearly presented to
the railroad officials my case they

'dealing with' government 'officials
and my opinion is, that,' if the gov
ernment takes hold of this matter
passing laws regulating ' rates
that they will be ; inflexible 1 and
iron clad; there is absolutely no
sentiment in building up any com
munity or, section of Jbe country, a
rate once.established, if either too
high or too low, it would take " an
indifirfte period to get it changed.;
Again,"', the government as a'
rule does. not,pay as good salaries ;
as first class railroads, consequent
ly they will be . liable td get incomv
petent men, to say nothing of the
possibility of getting the question ;
into politics. ' '

In my testimony before the com
mittee, I stated that ' the railway
officials were; closer to: tiS than any
government commission could ever
be. I also stated that Wivh;
had heyer received a single rebate,
or special privilege we have simp
lyatt ended to our business and,
have built up a town within ten or '
fifteen years from two thousand to
not have done this but for the good
will and fair treatment , of the ;
Southern Railway.
' I have talked to a number, of
uiauuiawiuieia uuu snippers on tzUS
question and very few I have found
here or elsewhere - who had not
rather undertake to sret' satisfac
tion from experienced railroad offi-:
cials than from a government com--'
mission. ,Y -
My views have never chansredon
this subject, - ,
The flaming headlines in The
News apd Observer to-day asks,? '
"Why Are - They for Higher
Rates?' No man or manufacturer :
here is " for hiefier" rates and so1
far as I know, ,no one appearing
before the Senate committee . has -advocated
higher rates. The use '
of such headlines is simply to prej-'
qaice .ine jiuoiic, or at least create .
a false impresion. '
I would be glad if the editor of
The News and Ohsrcpr toM low '
aside his. prejudice long enough to , '
carefully read and study the evt.
worth , of England : he clearly states
and shows that the railroad rates
in England are three times as high
on an average as they are in the
United .States, and that govern
ment interference in railroad rate
making has reen a positive detri
ment to the public . business "
throughout the British Empire.' ' 1 :
Any raaicai cnange m our pres
ent system would tend to demoral- V"
ize business, in fact no shipper ?
would. know, what to depend upon."
Kiet our present railroad com
mission' " stop rebates and unjust
discriminations, but leave the rate-
making - to the shipper and '"the '
