SUF FER THEOUGII LATE RULI1TQ PUGET SOUND TICTOIiT IS DETRIMENTAL TO INTEKIOIi ' La Grande Among the Towns That . Will Suffer Manifest Damage t Shipping If Some Actio? Is Not Tak es Immediately to Prevent New i Bates Becoming Effective. (By E M. Cousin. Traffic Attor- . Nov. 27. (Special) .nterstate commerce com vision in the so call coast ,uve rate case is in accordanc press reports, and k what the jrtland and Puget Sound Interests, dlalm for It, a most serious situation confronts those Interior cities inter ested in their commercial and Indus trial development. And this concern of the Oregon and Washington com missions to follow the Interstate deci sion In their forthcoming readjust ment of state rates. While manifestly unjust to say that 50 cents will buy 100 miles of trani portation from Portland or Seattle but only 75 miles from Pasco. La Grand or other interior points, it must ba remembered that the commission was ruling upon what was before It and the interior towns made no showing In the case. The Oregon railroad com mission did this same thing. when it reduced the clai rates out of Port land without a corresponding reduc tion between other points and now Justify their action because the other places aJfected made no protest at the hearing, nor took any measures to re strain the order. '' The principle of the Interstate com merce act Is equality but the burden Is upon Interested parties and com munities to protect their rights, the same as in any other cause. It Is beyond controversy that the relative adjustment of freight rates determines the commercial growth and development of any community and unless active and concerted mea sures are promptly Instituted by the interior towns to make a showing to , the commission before the recent or der goes Into effect, the disadvantage will soon appear In the discourage ment to manufacturing and commer cial pursuits at Interior cities. ' Pending receipt of the complete or der of the commission In the distribu tive causes it is suggested that , plans be perfected to proceed Immediately to secure a suspension of the order provided It Is found, to embody the discriminatory features reported. : Cupid Shows Activity, T ENS WITH IJ.ffS.
