Debunking Sun on Interstate Commerce Rates
A letter refutes the New York Sun’s claim that the Interstate Commerce Act bans lower charges for longer hauls. It explains the actual long and short haul clause: a railroad cannot charge less for a shorter haul than for a longer one, but it does not require proportional doubling for longer distances.
Sun’s fairness challenged by misread editorial claim
A quoted editorial argues against a claim that rates must be identical per mile, noting a supposed rule to charge for every mile traveled is misapplied. The author contends Canadian railways face faulty criticism rooted in erroneous interstate commerce act interpretations.
