SUPREME COURT RULES Fare From Oak Crove to Portland Is Reduced to Ten Centa Ro fund for Patrona Who Hold Receipta. 1, a, -, i, s.j A, . 4. 1 j -i ' In view of the action of the Supreme Court in giving Mil- waukle and Oak Grove a lower ' fare Into Portland, it Is alto- gel her probable that Oregon City will benefit. The fare to Mllwaukle Is 15 cents and he ' payment of five cents will car- ': ry passengers on into Portland. It Is hardly likely that the. corn- papy will attempt to compel Hie people of Oregon City to ' pay 2u cems to Mllwaukle, and It is npparetit that the Supreme e Court decision will necessitate a general adjustment of rates all along the line. ?- 'v 'if s, .j, .. g .5. i. s, i- 4' H i ir '6 Holding that the fare of 10 cents between .Mllwaukle and Portland Is nnJiiKily discriminatory and that therefore the railroad commission has a right of jurisdiction thereover, the supreme court Tuesday In an opinion written by Chief Justice Moore di rects that the Portland Railway, Light ft Power Company must reduce its fares between these two points -to 5 cents and Issue transfer tickets to all parts of the city of Portland where its lines are in operation, as the rail mad commission has ordered. The opinion is sweeping in Its pro visions and is one of the most Import ant and far reaching ever handed down by the Oregon supreme court. In a similar' opinion the fares from Oak Grove to Portland are reduced from 13 cents to 10 cents, and the railroad commission of Oregon de clared to have full power to enforce its decrees In similar matters. They were two separate cases appealed from a decree of Circuit Judge Wil liam Galloway of Marlon- comity, whose order is affirmed. The decision means not only that the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company must reduce its fares at once, but must refund 5 cents to each patrou holding receipts for 10 cent fares paid for rides between Mllwau kle and Portland since April. 19"8, and also to those who have paid 15 cent fares for rides between Oak Grove and Portland since the same date. The street railway company Is under $."i0.000 bonds to make the refunds, which will amount to several thou sand dollars. The principal facta upon which the opinion is based are those which show that for nearly 20 years ihe Portland Railway company or Its pre- dcessors have carried passengers from the town of Lents to Portland, a distance og 7.G9 miles for 5 cents, while 10 cents Is charged from Mll waukle to Portland, a distance of only C.71 miles. The railroad attorneys argued that the Lents fare was the re sult of a contract entered into with the people of that district, and also that the business carried between Mllwaukle and Portland was less than 20 per cent of the business car ried between Lents and Portland. Nevertheless the court held that the conditions were discriminatory from the mere fact that a less fare was charged to Lents, and that the law was being violated. The court held that a fare of 10 cents to Mllwaukle might be unrea sonable, but the fact alone that It was unjustly discriminatory gave the railroad commission jurisdiction and authority under the railroad act of 1907 to cure that discrimination. 'It is not necessary," reads the opin ion, "that the rate should be unreason able, and it is not compared with charges made by other railroad com panies, but if It Is unjustly discrimin atory it is sufficient to authorize a regulation thereof."
