Tho milt Ib an application for an injunction by tho railroad to prevent tho conunlKsion from lowering dis tributive clnBH rates from Portland to points on tho Southern Pacific linen In Oregon. Tho railroad claim? tho proposed rates would do It great and irroparabl'o damago and would RorlouBly effect nlready Impnlred rov onucrt. Attornoy Joseph N. Teal, spending for the nouunlsoloii, snld tho Soiitli orn Pacific lin enjoyed a greater growth in tho past decade than, any othor line In tho state and that In Hpllo of having almost every oxponso met by tho mud charged to tho item of operation ho as apparently to re duce tho slzo of not rovouuos, that Htlll tho road paid heavy dividends and Interest on Ub Indebtedness. Argument Ih Iuig. Mr. Teal's argument opposing tho granting of tho Injunction consumed tho morning scbbIoii of tho court and u portion of tho afternoon. Ho was followed by V. D. . Kon(on, who attked that tho Injunction bo granted tho road. Mr. Tenl allowed many alleged In accuracies of importanco In tho com plaint of tho railroad company, In cluding tho notable one of Hi one place aliening tho loss In revenue from tho proponed changes would amount to nearly $:i00,000, In an other placing tho figure at $270,9.11, while In the affidavits of the rall- llljlinclion load'i exports; the amount was stated) i at nut ti;iN,u;su. jio also cioiincu, juuflu uaihins, oiumij in biiumucru, 10 riesirain (l)at Mr. Kenton, In quoting tho 1iiro of the Oregon & California Wy tho Southern Pacific used tho wrong' lease and not tho out' now In effect. Mr. Teal Btaled that tho opera tions of tho toad uudor tho lease have been so successful that In 1910 ft could have paid 4 per cent on all stock vor and above the 7 nnd C per cent mid on preferred Block and tho In- erest paid on bonds and oporatlon of road. "Tho books have been mndo to how a deficit," said Mr. Teal, "by J,1uj simple process of transferring argo sums, such as taxes, on 'all tho lands held by the company, igatnst the operating account. In tho past few yeaiB many hugo sums liavo been charged to maintenance so as to create a resrve fbund." Mr. Teal nlBO presented arguments to show tho commission's order will not affect Intorstuto raten as Is al leged by the railroad, giving ninny oferees to show that tho Btato eoin-1 mission has a legal aro made a part of an Interstate rate by tho railroad company simply adding them to a through interstate rate. In Hue with thlR argument ho cit ed tho action of tho Interstate com Morce commission when Oklahoma was admitted as a state, dismissing numerous actions before it effecting Intrastate rates In Oklahoma on the ground that such rates woro under tho sole Jurisdiction of tho state govorninont.
