DAIRYMEN SEEK
TO ADJUST RATES
EXPRESS COMPANIES BY PRES.
, ENT CHARGES, BUILD UP.
BIG CENTERS.
Petitions Addressed to Service Com
' missions Being Circulated. vf '
Walla Walla, Jan. 13! (Special)
A petition addressed to the Interstate
Commerce commission of Washington,
D. C, the railroad commission of the
state of Oregon, and he public' ser
vice commission of the state of Wash
ington, is now being circulated among
the dairymen and business men, of the
state. v-. '. . : ,
The petition is being generally sign
ed by the dairy interests, the com
mercial bodies, and the business men
throughout the important dairy sec
tions of the state. The petition states
the purpose is to equalize the express
rates on butter and cream 'shipments
to market centers. When the country
'was hew and undeveloped, the dairy
herds' widely scattered and distant
from the cities, the express companies
put into effect a rate to induce the
shipment of milk for city consump
tion., ' Later : when creameries were
started the same rates were applied
to cream - shipments which have . a
value several times that of a can of
milk. h::. .
A can of cream contained ' many
pounds of butter In the nature of
butter-fat, which is being carried by
the express companies for less than
one-half the rate that applied to man
ufactured butter, This express rate
on -cream is in many instances less
than a third class freight rate. The
result of this inequality on butter
shipped by express, in ' cream, has
been to 'build up central creameries
in the big markets to the decided dis
advantage of the farmers' local p'Sns:
and the farmers' co-operative cream
eries, it is declared. "' ':. '
' "All these within the, great dairy
sections ' have , been discriminated
against, and in many cases, entirely
rained and destroyed,' by unfair com
petition," stated a creamery man yes
terday. . "The petitioners are simply
desirous of having the express com
panies either lower their present but
ter rate, so that it will be on the same
basis as the rate on butter carried
as cream, or to increase the cream
rate to a point where it will be equal
to the butter rate. s Some adjustment
would only seem fair. ; ,
"If the farmers' creamery is expect
ed to continue as one of the substantial-industries
of the country,
communities the express 'companies
must so equalize their rates, that but
ter cannot be shipped as cream at a
less rate than it can be shipped man
ufactured. The country community
is entitled to some manufacturing en
terprise. The local creamery is a dis
tributor of many thousands of dollars
monthly, and is always an important
business factor in every farming com
munity, and unless the public service
commission gives the dairy interests
the proper relief, the farmers' cream
ery will soon be aa thing of the past;
this is the way the matter is viewed
dby the signers of the petition."

was driving to catch a train at a sta

who happened to be looking over his
