Reports have come through Washington and other usually well in formed sources from time to time that the Interstate commerce commisoion has completed the draft of its opinion In the Spokane rate case, and that an order will soon be entered, command Ing the Hill ami ilarrlmai. lines to es tablish a reasonable and just system of interstate freight rates to and from fcpoXane, but so far there has been nothing official to confirm these ru-u.ora. iianiifuctuit-rs. Jobbers, shippers and the consumers in general here be lieve, however, that when the commis sion hands down Its decision In thlt much-dlscuBsed litigation, It will there in Issue an order prohibiting the rail roads from charging a greater rate for a shorter haul than for the longer one, and that In no event will the rates be greater to and from Spokane 11.111 L11UOU, 1.U l.lhli; Ult X ULl UVL.UU anil the Pacific coast. The Spokane case, which was the first instituted under the congression al act, effective January 1, 1907, Is one In which every inland city in the United States Is Interested, and the outcome will be of vital Importance to every community, where the so-called water competition does not exist, hence it may be said that the peti tioners are fighting the battles of the Interior cities so far as discrimination and unlawful freight rates by the rail roads are concerned. Managers of the trans-continental raods operating through the Spokane country, which embraces 150,000 square miles In eastern Washington, northern Idaho, western Montana, northeastern Oregon and southeastern British Columbia, admit without hesi tancy that the rates from points east to Spokane are greater than they are to Portland, Seattle and Tacoma, also that some kinds of freight can be shipped from eastern points to Pacjflc coast cities and then back to Montana points at less rates than would be charged If they were shipped to Spo kane and then back to the same points in Montana, but they say this condition exists because of water competition. However, during the hearing at Portland a year ago uncontrovertible evidence was offered by the petition ers, showing that not only were there glaring discriminations in class and other rates, but the testimony, which was supported by tariffs, bills and records, made It clear that more thai! 70 per cent of the carload shipments to Spokane olrglnate at points not In fluenced by water competition. This evidence, pointing out also that no shipments can be made to Spokane In less than carload lots and then ship- pea anywnere rrom Spokane as against the rates to the cities of Port land, Tacoma and Seattle, was not at tacked by counsel for the railroads.
