Salem, Oregon, June 29. (To the Editor Observer) I am enclosing copy of letter I have written to our Representative in Congress, Mr. N. J. Sinnott, and if the suggestion con tained therein meets with your ap proval I shall be glad to have the co operation of the local merchants to ward correcting this abuse with which practically every merchant is fa miliar. The matter of presenting bills for undercharges long after the mer chants' goods have been disposed of has proved a source of great annoy ance and loss to them of vast sums of money in the aggregate. A letter to Mr. Sinnott by those in terested would assist materially. Yours truly, H. H. COREY. Hon. N. J. Sinnott, M. C, Wash ington, D. C. Dear Sir: "It is a poor rule that does not work both ways" is an axiom. Section 16 of the Interstate Com merce Law provides a limit of two years after which an overcharge can not be collected from a railroad but no such limitation against a railroad collecting an undercharge from a shipper. If an error in a freight bill is discovered any time after shipment is delivered the railroad must under the law, if it is an undercharge, ex haust its legal remedies to collect it. As an illustration of the many com plaints brought before this Commis sion, aggregating large sums of money, an Oregon firm was asked the other day to pay $20 undercharged on a carload of fruit shipped in 1909. The law as it has been interpreted by the courts and the Interstate Com merce Commission holds that pub lished tariffs speak with equal au thority to the 'shipper and the carrier and that both are equally chargeable with notice and knowledge of the rates. Insofar as it intends to pre vent indirect rebates and diserimina- tion it is, of course, commendable, bufc- vyii.u vt buih prumuiuon Do; accom--phshed by holding the carriers to strict accountability for failure flo udhere tn thn nnKHoV.n,l in;p. 1 a I law prescribing a suitable penalty for 1 neplip-ent nr'urillul fnila n -u 1. of the carrier would fully meet the demands and safeguard, thn interests of the public. Ihe average merchant has neither' the time nor the opportunity to ac quire a proficient knowledge of theJ tariffs that affect has business. Many tariffs are so complex and technical that even traffic experts fail to cor rectly interpret them. This being true, it is unjust and unreasonable that the merchant should bo held re sponsible for the- application of er roneous rates. The local agent of the company iit presumed to be conversant with tariff and rate matters. The auditor's of fice has a force of trained experts whose duty it is to check the billing, detect and correct any errors that may have been made by the local' agent. With proper attention this nknllM hn Anna within ".. - 1 ...vii, ii l. .11 111! vi, weeks after deliveiy. Therefore, I am of the opinion that carriers should bo required to demand at the time of delivery all charges dut for the trans portation of property and that they should be estopped from collecting any sum for whichi demand has not been made within a period of ninety days after delivery. I lielieve that one of the bills now pending before Congress should be so amended ns to definitely prescribe the duty of the carrier in this respect end fix the time limit of ninety days in which demands for undercharges may be made.
