- Rates an Important Question.
Instead of holding the dlstributa
tive rate hearing at Portland the Ore
gon railroad commission Is coming to
Baker City November 26, and the hear
ing will be held there. This makes It
more convenient , flor ' . La , Grande,
Baker City and Pendleton to attend
the hearing, originally scheduled for
Portland.
No rate regulation can be more im
portant to La Grande than distributive
rate hearings. With such a privilege,
La Grande merchants can compel
with Portland in supplying good3 to
Interior towns, and county towns be
cause such rates will 'give equitable
freight charges to all points wlthh
a certain radius of the city, to be
made large enough, to Include Wal
lowa county. Baker City already has
some distributive rates but ' she
seeks more, and La Grande has none
but will make a concerted effort to
get them at this meeting. Because of
the fact that the hearing will be so
near La Grande, it will be possible to
send a larger delegation of legal
lights to fight for La Grande's inter
est, than would be possible if the
hearing took place In Portland. .
Distributive rates for La Grande
will mean that local merchants, can
conlpete with Portland merchants In
distributing goods and in turn means
a Tast amount of business now slip
ping by them because of the local
rate charges will come this way.
