Ottawa, Oct. 2.--The government has the railway rates case om Its hands as a result of the conclusion of the argument on the appeal from the Railway Commission. It wants to do something for the sake of appear- ances, but it is reasonably certain that that something will not take the | form of any modification of the find- | ing of the Railway Board. That the case may be referred back for con- sideration on the aspect of discrim- ination is a much more likely contin- gency. Mr. Meigheh the close of the argu hopetul indication. "The arguments presented here," | he sald, "show that many subjects lave been discussed which should be determined by the proper tribunal, and not by the government, other- wise why was the tribunal created? Unless we are going to revise the whole trend of policy the govern- ment must confine itself to deciding {if in any decision a policy was fol- { lowed repugnant to public policy, Of course, if it appears that an error of judgment was made a reference back is proper." This was generally interpreted as { meaning that the government will not accept the responsibility of over- | ruling the commission unless some | gross and obvious error of judgment {1s disclosed, a thing which, at least, { 1s' debatable. By referring the matter back to the commission for a general | investigation Into the allegations of | rate discrimination the government may seek to evade any odium of sanctioning the rates:by "passing the buck' back to the commission. Pend- ing any further hearing, the rates wouid continue in force, a develop- ment whelly satisfactory to the rail- ways. If the case be not sent back for the reasons indicated the best opinion here fis that the judgment will stand, with a vossible rider or something to €ase it off.
