In tho editorial of tho OreRonlnn ot Sentomber 8th, entitled "Kate making by Prejudice," occurs tho following: "It Is sad Imtccd that thin rnto export was not discovered years ago by tho Interstate commerce com mission or some ot tho state railroad commissions which have, been wrest ling with tho railroad rato problem by day and sweating over It by night." It tho Oregonlan refcra to tho rnto counsel which Medford has employed In her various rato suits, and for tho purpose of this artlclo It will bu assumed this la tho Individual about whom tho quoted reference Is made, llio Mall-Trobuno Is Rind of this opportunity to acquaint Its readers with this individual whoso work alono Is sufficient and oly commendation need ed. In tho search of n rule for fair and reliable Judgment as to tho worth ot an Individual no better ono Is found than-tho one laid down by the Master who spoko ot himself as "tho way" wherein ho recounted his works and not his doctrine when questioned by tho messengers of an- othor, and ho always rolled upon his deeds to support his words which woro merely tho outgrowth of thoso deeds. Tho Oregonlan has a heart-acho over tho fact that this rato counsel was not discovered years ago by tho Interstate commerce commission, but by referring to history of the Interstate commerce commission It Is found that Spokauo began ns early as ISO! to prosecute suits before this body for an equitable adjustment of tho Intcrmountaln rates, and In this suit, Portland at the instigation of tho railroads as an ally of them, Inter vened against Spokane, as she has dono over since and against Interior points In Oregon In the same alliance with the railroads. The outcome of the original suit glled by Spokane In tho Supremo Court of tho United States deprived the Commission ot any rato making power, and tho Com mission speaks ot itself during subsequent years, until Its rato making power was restored In August, 190t", as only an advisory board with no need of a rate counsel or traffic expert. Stato Hallroad Commission In most states aro of recent date, therefore they had no need to make a discov ery "years ago." It Is then found that the public had really no need of n rate counsel until very recent years, or only since 1906, and tho Inter state commerce commission and tho State ltnllroad Commissions being created for the purpose ot rendering decisions upon complaints support ed by evidence filed by the public upon whom tho burden Is Imposed to prove a reasonable rate rate wcro not under tho pressure ot discovering a rato expert, but tho public was, and did as the following will show: From the records of tho interstate commerce commission It Is gathered that The rate making power ot tho interstate commerce commission was restored on August 2Sth, 1906, on which date Spokano gllcd her now fa mous suit, which was the girst suit tiled under tho amended act, and this suit came to its first hearing January 15th, 1907. Tho first wit ness called in that suit was Krank II. McCunc about whom and his work the files of tho interstate commerce commission show: "F. II. McCuno was sworn and testified on behalf of complainants tcstlfed concern ing transcontinental tariffs and territories. .. .showing tho discrimina tions in practically the entire commodity list. .. .defendants did not in any way attack these schedules or the testimony ot Mr. McCuno. .. .an examination of the schedules so printed will show most ot the discrimin ations at a glance. .. .there 13 little, if anything, to be said about these discriminations that has aot been set forth in Iho exhibits introduced. In connection with Mr. McCune's testimony.. ..tho defendants have kindly printed these exhibits. ...Mr. McCuno was not employed by com plainants until long after the petition was filed.... as soon as Mr. Mc Cune was employed, it was discovered that no accurato results can bo ob. tained by taking a few selected articles, hence, a complete commodity list was mado up by Mr. McCuno and put Into evidence," and of theso exhibits tho files of the Commission show that the defendants said ot them that they contained information "wherein Is furnished the necessary data to ascertain tho EXACT extent cf Spokane's cxclusnvo Jobbing territory on practically every article In tho transcontinental tariff." Herein is monumental proof ot tho ability and the obsalute fairness of this expert about whom even the defendants use the word "Exact" to tho extent of showing the "exclusive Jobbing territory" of Spokano when the defendants had not figured it out themselves. No injustice or decep tion attempted to be practised here. So much tor the interstate commerce commission. Now how about tho stato railroad commissions as to dis covery of this man. Again referring to the files of tho Interstate commerce commission it is found that the Railroad commission of Nevada began an action In tho year 190S for a readjustment of transcontinental rates into Nevada to re move the discriminations practised againBt her commerce sinco the open ing of the Pacific railways in 18G9. It Is found that the action of the Nevn. da Commission was commenced In May of 1908, and referring to tho sec ond annual report of that body for the years of 1908-1909 tho following extracts are taken: ' , "Mr. McCune was employed by the Spokane Chamber of Commcrco In the preparation of the caso made by tho Merchants' Association of Spo kane against the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Railroad Compa nies. He began the preparation of the Nevada case in October, 1908, and worked without interruption up to tho date of tho -first hearing ot tho cascPbn March 29, 1909.... the work of Mr. McCune, tho only expert em ployed to assist the commission in preparing tho case, was truly admira ble. Combined with Intelligence ot high order, he possessed a most thor ough knowledge of tho whole system ot rate making throughout tho United States.... he was an indefatlgablo worker, frequently tolling late into the night, and bolng, moreover, always ready with suggestions of de tail which presented themselves at all stages of the caso until tho close of the bearing at Reno tho commission was fortunate, Indeed, in so curing the services of such a man." From the files of the Interstate com mission regarding this case tho following is taken from tho briefs of tho complainant: "We feel that we have made such a caso clearly, conclusive ly, and in tho only way possible. With a clearness, fullness and accuracy which leave nothing ta bo desired In those particulars, the witness R II, McCune, has assembled all the necessary data upon tho subject of the rates complained of. Tho witness's vork was a marvel of energy and Intelligence. Tbo .mass of testimony prepared by him Is unchallenged in tho smallest material matter." Turning again to the flics of tho interstate commcrco commission It Is found in case 2897, filed by Baker, Oregon, that this caso was put In. charge of Mr. McCuno as attorney, and from the petition in that case the fol lowing extract is taken: "that tho proportlonato ml lea go basis used in siz ing passenger fares.... is Just, reasonable, equitable. .. .and that the same basis, system or scheme should bo adopted and employed In fixing freight rates.... and that an order bo entered commanding defendants to ... .establish. ...class and commodity rates from eastern shipping points to Baker. . ..proportlonato to the distance intervening between tho bald eastern shipping points and Baker compared with Portland." And from the brief filed In that case tho following Is reproduced: "Cost of freight transportation. It Is not within tho province of a complainant to give ox ect figures of tho cost of tho difference units In which tho railroad busi ness Is expressed. In tho matter of apportionment of oxpenceB between freight and passenger business by tho railroads It has to bo made to a considerable extent upon an arbitrary basis on account of Joint usage" but tho contention Is mado that cost of servlcb Is primary to rate making by law. What has been the effect of the work of McCuno? Ills proportionate mileage basis for determination of equitable rates is endorsed by tho in terstate commerce commission, rates having boon established from Den ver, Colo., to eastern Nevada of J2.QP the. hundred as against tho rnjlrond rato of $4.7G'4, or a reduction of 68 per copt and from New York of "S3. GO as against tho former rate of 4.'73tt, and a genora readjustment of tho commodity rates ordered on the samo basis', Endorsement of cost bas is as prlmury to rato making by law by tho Interstate commorco commis sion In tho following words of that body in opinion 1509 which was Icsuud subsequently to caso 2897: "while wo find tho carriors contending mil lormly that tho making of a reasonable rato tho cost of sorvlco l prac tically a negligible factor, yet tho contention Is heroin mado that tho car riers should bo allowed to Increaso their rates upon that ground of tho total operating expense on most of the roads substantially GO per cent is chargeable to conducting transportation, 25 per cent t maintenance of way and structures, and 25 per cent to maintenance of equipment , there Js no difficulty In segregating tho cost of maintenance of equipment m botween passengers and freight. Likewise tho 50 per cent undor tho head of conducting transportation is easily segregated. . . .thus practically 75 per cent of tho entire oxponso Is taken care of. Tho expense of main, tenanco of way and structures cannot bo allocated, and this bus to bo divided arbitrarily. Moreover, that It Is not Impracticable to estimate cost of rulhvuy service is evidenced by the fact Unit wo Juiyo before iib (.ho cost figures of both tho Santn Fo and Uurllugton, . , . . .these figures nit n whole nro among tho most suggestive to which tho consideration of tho Commit bIou hns boon directed. They nppenr to make II ptinulblo to overcome tho one hitherto Insuperable objection which has been ralHOd -igalUHtthoprl-mary basing or rules upon cost. . . , , .onco wo hnvo learned tho compara tive costs for various sorvlcen, It Is not fanciful to say that a schedulo of rates may bo tnndo which will Approach Justice ns butwecn servlcea." Such Is tho character and standing and working or tho Individual which Oregon bus brought Into her midst to iuIvIho In tho matter of an equitable adjustment of her domestic and lnterslato freight rates. Ills work standH unchallenged by the railroads who even hnvo found him to bo "exact" In showing up the rato situation,' ilghly commended by u ativto railroad commission and endorned by tho decision of tho Interstate com merce. cmumlsf-Uui. Ills coining to Oregon was not it discovery but nu evo lution, and It the Nevada commission found him to bo a safe counsellor and that It considered Itself "fortunate" In securing his services, bus not Uaker and Medford rendered a service to tho State of Oregon by bringing such n man here to work out from tho unpnralled rato situation In this stato a Just and oipiltablo system of freight rates? What this man has ac complished before the commerce commission bus been secured In face of the most bitter opposition of Portland and Its mouth-pleco, tho Oregonlan. The Oregmitiiu refers to the Washington Railroad Commliwlou spend Ing months In an effort to determine tbo cost of freight service In that stato and argues this point as proof that It Is an Intricate problem, but of this It Is found by referring to tho files of tho Washington Railroad Com mission that, as stated by the Mall-Ttibuuo, It wan a simple mathematical calculation by the following excerpt: "Hy referring to finding No. ?:t you will ascertain that tho average cost of moving n ton of freight one mllo In this state, as tho same docs move, Is tho sum of .179ft cents. This Is easily ascertained. It Is simply found by dividing the tolnl tonnage Into tho op erating expenses." This Is tho exact language of the CommlvHlou and In volved only the simplest rhle ot division. Nothing Intricate' In that! until. Ing laborious when the carrier should be .made by law to keep u record of tho expense of the different Items or units of cent. Tho Oregonlan says "thcro lias been no suggestion of the recall of any members of the Commission," but from this statement It may bo Im plied that the Oregonlan has thrown out such a suggestion In the hope that the movement for initiation of equltablo rates may be sidetracked, Tho railroad commission law was drawn In a law office In Portland, and ono of the members ot the Commission Is a resident uf Portland, and the acts of tho Commission shows It has served Portland well, now the Ore gonlan comes along with tho suggestion propose to loan Itself to a con duct that dotlours tho Integrity of tho office-holder and when no longer able to servo n. polluted interest turn and cast the victim of lit; prontltu. lion upon tho street? In another editorial the Oregonlan commends rato making by confer ence between the various railroad commlssIauH and tho Intorstato com. niorce commission. What does tho federal constitution nay about this? Why this: "No state shall enter Into any treaty, alliance or confederation and no state shall, without tho consent of Congress, enter Into any agree ment or compact with another Htate." According to the columns o'. the Oregonlan such a conference has taken place, and this Is without the con sent of Congress, as Congress has not given such right to tho Interstate commerce commission who must determine the reasonableness of freight rates "after full hearing upon n complaint" either by n complainant or up on Its own motion, and no by "exccutlvo session", ns In the case of tho re ported rato conference referred to by tho Oregonlan. Treason Itdoflnod In tho constitution as "adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and com fort", and Is not such "executive sessions," ns commended by tho Ore gonlan, as ends to fixing rensonuble freight rates In enmity to tho United States, therefore treasonable? The initiation can bo exorcised In Its purity and It Is tho proper meth od to pursue ns against the methods encouraged by the Oregonlan of de claring malfeasance of office of present Incumbents of the Railroad Com mission and calling on tho prejudice such a charge would exclto or to hold "executive sessions" with othonj-ato making bodies in enmity to tho con stitution of tho United States. Tho statute creating tho Railroad Com mission of Oregoa provides: "Before entorlug on tho duties to an oath or affirmation toupport the constitution of tho United States, and of this State," and that "upon complaint. .. .that rates nro unreasonable.... tho commission may proceed to Investigate same.... and If found unreasona ble" to substitute reasonable rates therefore, but provides "all hearings shall bo open to tho public", but there Is no priwlslnn thnt reasonable rates shall be determined by "executive sessions" with othor railroad com missions. Tho dato of tho Shippers Congress Is September 28th, Salem. Oregon, where puro methods for fixing reasonable and uniform freight rates may be discussed. Don't forget the place and date, and bo there.
