An array of statements, only too
true, is presented in a recent issue
of the Spokesman-Review, i wherein
the Inland Empire rates arf discuss
ed. Paragraphs from this editorial,
are appended:
If the Inland Empire had terminal
rates its freight bill on merchandise
hipped from the eaBt would be cut
down '$1,000,000 a year. In the last 20
. years the people of the Inland Empire
have paid out, at. a conservative cal
culation, $15,000,000 In excessive rates
on shipments from the east alone.
In the course of the Inst ten years
hundreds of manufacturers who con
templated the builcltug ot plants in the
Pacific northwest have come, into the
Inland Empire and found the field In
viting, but when their investigation
showed that freight rates were burd
ensome, went to the Coast and lo
cated there.

ing else, has put two-thirds of th
population of Washington state upon
less than one-third of the state's nreu

City and other interior towns lme nil
had their jcrowth retarded by the in
justice ot . excessive freight . rates.
And this is also true of all the other
Inland cities west of Denver.
. At .last victory and justice gea.n
near at hand. The interstate com
merce commission has decided that
freight rates to all Interior points are
excessUe, and in the Spokane case
decision laid down a pvincioH of
rate revision for the "railroads to
adopt. But the railroads, reluctant
to give tip a part of their excessive
earnings, have brought forward a
scheme of revised rates that docs not
square with the commission's dec.Blon,
and they are using every arti'.lie to
hoodwink the public, deceive ,h cim
misslon and cheat the Interior.

Of human bliss or hun an woe.
Do you recognize the importance of the mattress?
Do you select it with the same care you do the other
comf orts of home? Have you ever stopped to consider
that in this age of advancement it has recieved little
attention little improvement was made until the re

the entry of a new era in mattress making.
