DECLARE MEDFORD
RATE ACT VOID
i Portland. The so-called Medford
rate bill, which was adopted by the
' people under the initiative on Novem
. ber 5, 1912, and which made sweeping
: changes in freight rates in the state,
'' has been declared unconstitutional
and void in a decision by Judges Wol-
verton and Bean, of tbe United States
district court in Portland, and Judge
Gilbert, of the United State court of
: appeals in San Francisco, before
whom, sitting en banc, it was argued
a little more than seven months ago.
The decision was announced in an
j opinibn written and delivered from
the bench by Judge Wolverton. All
! three Judges fully concurred in every
atpect of the decision.
The measure haB been generally re
ferred to as the "Medford" rate bill
because of charges that It was pre
pared and placed on the ballot in the
selfish interests of Medford mer
chants. Appealed to by railroad men and
shippers for relief against what it was
; declared would be a disaster to the
1 state if permitted to go into effect,
