This present iiittMesiate conimeiec conimissioii hearing in
I'ortland and the oneschedule(L for l.ewiston, Idaho, for the
20lh of tliis month deal, among other things, with the de-
. iiiands from various sources for railroad extensions in and
hi the holder of Oregon. The rpiesion to he decided by the
(onimissioii is whether the, construction of new lines in. in the
I uhlic interest. Fiom an inipai tial standpoint we see little
chance of that being conclusively show n.
The road pioposal of most importance and interest lo
1 !astei n Orcgoh is Ihe long-considered water route down the
i'nake liver from Weiser US l.ewiston. It is sought by Lew
i".;lon interests because they see the advantages of a direct
lians-continental line, of if tiiicker, nhorler ioule to eastern
markets for their himlicr products. Southern Idaho, on the
el her hand, 'wants Hit! northern anil southern portions of the
i.talc (now unconnected by rail) to profit by the, direct line
this would make possible.
. Knslcin Oregon, contrary to the impression frcUcntly
tonveyed, does not oppose the Snake jiver line simply because
it would lend to divide the business now carried over the V.
'1 'main line to Portland and possibly make a branch out of
(lie present route. Kalher do the people of this section look
aS. the proposed extension as uneconomic from a business
) (midpoint, unadvanlageous in its failure to open up 'new
country or new revenue sources in keeping with the required
expenditure. The line would only benefit the Lewiston area,
j nd that already has adequate if round-about rail facilities.
- H would be available only at great cost and it is the conten
tion of Kastein Oregon partisans that the same money could
be more fruitfully invested in improvement of the existing
Portland route.
. 'Ihe other demand is for a railroad limning from east t'o
vc;;t through cent i ad Oregon, conn. :i ting with the present
blanch at limns, peihaps, on the east, and with a junction of
the Soutlici n Pacific on the west. Although not prejudice I
because of selfish interests against this proposal, we cannot
.see sufficient public interest involved (o cause the commis
moii to order early const i uclion., The area, though less bar
it n than the Snake liver canyon, is a high, dry platear. that
tloes not piomise tapid development with or without a rail
load. The best pm lions of Hie section are already adequately
: i i veil by the recent ennstructiou work of the (Ileal North-
in and the Southern Pacific. Only minimum tonnage could
be gained by (he building of an cast-west mad. ,
In considci ing the commerce fVoinmihsiou's pioblem in
Mich cases it is well lo rememUcr that the "public interest"
li a phrase that should and must include the raihoads as well
a.s l.he general public. A demand for extension that is bene
ficial to the public and in. I equally beneficial to the inilroads'
ii far from being entirely "in the public interest." Since Hie1
Mlv"iicy of railroads is reflected immediate! in the benefits;
derived by a shipping and (lavchng public, a bad investment!
tor one cannot fail to be a bad investment for the other. !'-!
ficils piled up by a non-productive portion of nad must be'
made up by pint its in other anas. And the public must
eventually foot the bill. j
Kn in many stnndVoint.s the central Oiegon line and the
'nakc river line seem leasonable. The one in the interior of
ine Muie wouiti nasieii. pernaps, me seiiiemem and develop
ment of large tract;) of land. The people of Oiegon would
thus, apparently, be pmvided a greater convenience and a!
happier opiortunily. Hut business judgment, the economic!
of the case, will be the deciding factor with the commission.!
The rail lines coiitt ml that neither road is possible from ihatj
standpoint, and it seems likely that their argument will be
