Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 June 1905 — Unjost Discrimination. [ARTICLE]

Unjost Discrimination.

The statement that “merchants of Salt Lake City pay $3.25 per hundred pounds on cotton goods shipped from North Carolina, while San Francisco merchants have their shipments from North Carolina taken right through Salt Lake City and delivered to them more than a thousand miles farther and pay $1.80,” leads the Charlotte Obeerver (Dem.) to say that such discrimination Is not right. “Railroads are not wholly private property, bat are semlpubllc corporations, and surely there should reside somewhere the power to remedy such a state of affairs as this.”
