asswniaCwtien he returns here, in the
matter of the acceptaricf--frergh-eJ
bates from-the railroad compantes-by
the Interior department on freight
charges on.Tmaterial for . irrigation
projects. If It la not proper to grant
freisht rebates to the public, why should
It be proper. to grant them to the. gov
ernment or to contractors or govern
ment work, la a question which U Is be
lieved will present. Itself . to the presi
dent with soma pertinency. :
..The legal head of the admlnlstrarlon,
Attorney-General Mootfy, In his opinion
sustaining the action of the secretary of
the Interior in accepting; r'batesliaq
this to say: ; .
- gather from the papers placed in
my . hands that most If not all of the
railroad companies whose lines reach
these arid regions, realize that they will
be among the -chief benefloiarlea of the
reclamation project, and therefore de
siring to promote Its consumatlon,
have signified to the officers pf the gov-
ernment their willingness te transport-!
the. machinery- and material used In the
construction' of the- trrtgatlon gystenr at
one half of their regular rates. In order
that much more of tne amount appro
priated by congress might be spent In
the -work ,of reclamation proper. Asidi
from the legal questions presented. It
Is evident that such an arrangement
ment and the ra 11 roads, and a disadvan
lage to none These reduced rates, you
Infnmi m are advertised to sll cros-
pectlve blddera.upoa work, "and - nuu.
terlal. the theory being that their bids
will be -lower by an amount equal to
thajeductlon In freight rates, and that
In that way llieTeducthm f freights
wilt Inure to the benent or tne unuea
States. The principles governing thji
case are flear and simple.
- "It Is " perf ectly plain, X think, that
the intention of section 22 of the act to
regulate commerce wa to give express
sanction to. any arrangements between
the United Stales, state or municipal
ayrnmejujodjallroadcpmj)a
which these governments might relieve
themselves of the -coat tf transporta
tion In whatever form It might assume,
and the section should be construed to
alve effect to that Intention. It Is,
States at the time or ahlpment, or
whether It has subaequenlly beeoma the
property of the United States In the par
ticular shape Urwh'lch.-it i shipped. It
Is sufficient that It entered Into the
construction - of a publlfr-work-of-the
United State and that the. .cost of. the
transportatlonwas apart of -the-Tlnal
cott of that work to the United Statea.
fThe issue, - then narrows down ,to
this: Does the United States, In point
of fact, receive In the end the whole of
the concession In -freights granted under
the-eon tracts J
lt-ennot, of course, be stated In ad
vance. as a nremrmntlon of fact coverLaa
all cases which may arise under this
arrangement, that tne United States
will receive the whole concession and
the contractor-none, for that would be
to presume - not only that- tha eon-
tractor s bid will be less than it would
have, been If he had had to pay the pub
lished -ratea, but that It will be less by
an-emouni- equal to tne freight .reduc
tion allowed him.- On the other hand.
however, it certainly cannot be pre
sumed that under no circumstances will
the United States receive the whole con
cession, that is to say, that In no case
will the contractor make full allowance
In his bid for the reduced freight ratea.
The strong' probability is that ha will
hornfavenrgny... advantage from that
source In the hands -of his -competitors.
In other words, then, -Whether or not
the United States receive the whole-of
the concession -and the contractor none
Is a question of fact which must be de
cided In each cae especially, as the
answer may differ in different cases.
My conclusion "upon the question you
propound, thcroforey-ts this. That In
thoaaeaM where-the-fact-ls that the
United States receive me whole or tne
concession and the contractor none.
then nelth-Ua-plrU nor the -Uttc-of
the act to regulate commerce has been
violated r but that In thoaa canes. If any,
where there ts not the fact, the opera
tion-f 4he-agreementa-whlch hare-toeenj
drawn In question would result in tne
violation of section of thu act. Being
a matter of fact, and on that If it shall
ever properly arise, ltjmist arise In the
administration of your department, your
determination . of the queatlon wilt be
binding so far aa the executive branch
of the government. Is concerned. .
