Nothing could bo more logical. The differ ence in operating expense between these classes of traffic must be considerable The shipper loads and unloads tho carloads. The rail road receives and delivers the small shipments at tho freight house door. Nine-tenths of the labor performed by tho railroad at its freight stations is on the small ship ments. The carload takes care of itself, save for the in cidental switching. The small shipment moves as package freight, calling for the best character of service. The carload moves more slowly, except under elements of strong competition, when certain classes of carload traffic are given preferred serv ice. On local lines tho preferred service is not an item of necessity. Hence less carload shipments between Portland and Medford are on the road perhaps 3G hours j carloads move in three days and longer. The grade of the commodity governs that. The great bulk of expense at freight stations is nec essarily .in the actual handling of the small shipment by the railroad in and through the warehouses, and the freight is handled m the warehouse as many times as congested conditions necessitate. Millions of dollars are expended by the railroads for freight station facilities throughout the United States for the sole purpose of caring for the less carload shipment. goo j 3i .:.:::::::.koo Insurance and heavy taxes must be paid on that property. otoi i .......; ewoolArmies of men are employed in the interest of the small 89 deduction and special edition 1,400 , . . , . . . omjjmum. xuu nsiis mciaem; to iransporranon or small shipments vastly' exceed those moving in car lots. All this and more justifies the railroad in demanding a higher rate on less carload freight. Special rates are seldom made to encourage less carload shipments. The lowf rate is made to encourage the traffic movinor in bulk. "Water competition cuts small figure in rate making, except for carload traffic. The carload is unalterably the regulat ing factor. "What is the basis of rates between the Atlantic and Pacific coast by rail? A carefully graded plane of class rates are built a good deal on the same structure as the rates between local community rates and terminal points, where the community is parceled out by the railroad to the jobber in that or those SWORN CTRCULATIOW, Average Dally for NoTembcr, 1909 ri.ii.nil i.. una January. 1910 i 925 jBbroary. 1910 2,i22 April, 1910 ... j m KAY CXKCUX&TXOX. 400 .2350 .2350 .2400 .2400 2400 2400 2400 2425 17 18 19 20 22 23 24 25 26 !

' The discovery of what is believud to bo another series of imtuenso eaves, similar to tliu Josephine county caves, more commonly known as the "Mnrblo Halls of OreRon," is reported by workmen developing the lime deposits owned by J.

Only notice this: The class rates published by! oxistence of a lamo number of theso the trans-continental railroads for carload shipments' rooms "" WIH"ei'' -v nnrrow pas- , . sajies. ao not move many carloads, special rates are made to cover practically every article moving in carloads from the east to the Pacific coast jobbing points, and the less than carload rate from the east is secondaiy. It is sometimes special also, but is invariably more than 20 per cent higher than the carload rates on the same traffic. Do the railroads maintain that they are not entitled to more than 120 per cent of the carload rate, on less than carload shipments of groceries, hardware and other staples of ev ery day consumption? That seems to be the trend of their defense at the railroad commission hearing the other day. It hardly seems credible that they should actually insist upon making a lower rate of freight than the Southern Ore gon people are asking for. Medford only asks fair and considerate treatment from the Southern Pacific. It is the most progressive city between Portland and Sacramento and it is destined to be the largest. It is a jobbing center by natural conditions, and it is so recognized by the Southern Pacific. Jobbing rates are published from Portland to Medford on certain articles. They are in force from the east on many more. Those rates benefit Medford and Southern Oregon. Why are they made, unless the importance of the Rogue River valley justifies them? Then why is the same policy not carried out upon all lines of traffic handled here? Southern Oregon has witnessed many changes in rail road rates in recent years. The railroad forced carload shipment of vegetables, oranges and other traffic into Medford before its population justified it. Was it not for the .purpose of compelling distribution at Medford? And is jobbing not the correct idea of distribution? Why have fates been systematically changed into Medford for several years, all in favor of carload ship ments, but not from Portland? Why not from Portland? Where are we at in the broad sense of rates? What we need we don't get, but we are tendered something lower. Let the railroad or the commission fix the jig-saw puzzle.
