Commission Struggles to Get
Equitable Adjustment
of Rates.
ADOPT UNIFORM SYSTEM
Three Classifications of Freights In
Vnlted States Thought Too Many.
Much Confusion Exists From
One State to Another.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct. 30. During the discussion of
"the subject of rate regulation at the con
vention of State Railway Commissioners
held in this city, there was more or less
difference of opinion as to the method
to be pursued in so regulating intra
state and Interstate rates as to yield the
roads a fair return and at the same time
prevent the enforcement of unduly high
rates. ' It was the contention of Chair
man Fairchild. of the Washington State
Commission, that the value of the serv
ice should be made the basis of such
computations, rather than track mileage
or constructive mileage. Mr. Fairchild
alluded to the recent decision in the case
of Smyth against Ames, which he be
lieved to be based on sound law. Ho
said:
At first blush It woud appear from
that decision that a railroad doing an
Intrastate business is entitled to earn two
returns upon its property invested in the
public service namely, that an Intrastate
rate must be so regulated that It will
provide a reasonable return on the in
vestment In the property UBed in the
service, and that when you come to con
sider the interstate rate the same con
siderations must apply. But that was
never the intention of the court, I appre
hend, when you read that decision and
consider what the court has In mind.
1 lie effect of the decision is that the
rates must be so adjusted by the tribunal
fixing them that the railroad will
receive a reasonable return on the
value of the property used bv it for
the benefit of the stale. That Is
what the court had in mind; and when
you have that you have harmonized the
decision. The Interstate rate must be so
adjusted that the railroad will be entitled
to receive from Its entire rate such a
sum as will net a reasonable return on
the value of the property used by It In
the conduct of its Interstate business.
There Is nothing in that decision to indi
cate that the tribunal called upon to as
certain that value should not divide the
value of the use of that property In the
manner in which it is given by the use
for the conduct of the two classes of
business.
Northern Pacific Is Example.
To illustrate, the Northern Pacific Rail
road Company passes through our state.
Its property has a value, we will say, of
JIOO.000,000. If 60 per cent of the use of
that property, or rather 60 per cent of
the value of that property. Is given up
to interstate business, then the .Inter
state business ought to receive a return
on J60.000.00O. and Its Intrastate business
ought to receive a return on MO.Ouu.OUO.
Then it has received Its complete return.
I believe that when you have ascertained
that proposition the condition presented
by our distinguished friend from Illinois
Is answered. It is not mileage, but It is
the value of the service that you should
be entitled to receive and have credit
for. I think that ought to go without
saying.
If, in the state of Illinois, It is neces
sary for the Pennsylvania system to have
terminals worth J10il.OCO.OOrt, or. to put It a
little differently, say JISO.000,000, and it
has only 18 miles of line in the state, then
the question Is, What Is the value of the
service that Is rendered to the intrastate
business? It Is the same proportion of
the value of tho property that Is used In
that state as compared with the value
of the property used In the adjoining
states. There Is a value to that service
because It Is necessary to have a termi
nal to use in that state In ordpr to trans
act Its Interstate business. Start in at
the beginning and divide your values be
tween state and Interstate business and
you have solved the entire proDlem.
Then work It down to the question of
the value of the service rendered by the
corporation.
For illustration, take the Northern
Pacific Railroad, which travels the states
of Washington, Idaho, Oregon, North
Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. There
may bo a law by which each and every
one of these states will ascertain, under
some harmonious action, the value of the
properties of that road in these states.
That those states, then, under some flex
ible provision of the law, should meet at
pome central point with the Interstate
Commerce Commission to ascertain , the
value of the system, with the assistance
of the facts that the different state com
missions nave ascertained. You will then
reach the total value of your system, and
then you are, it seems to me, in a posi
tion, having your terminal values and
your other values ascertained, to find the
vnlue of the service rendered to the in
trastate business and to the interstate
business .
I may be wrong In my views with re
gard to tills matter, but I believe I am
right. I do know that track mileage will
Tiot answer the purpose and I do not be
lieve, that constructive mileage will an
swer the purpose. If it will, then may I
ask who Is going to fix the constructive
mileage? Is it the railroad or the state
commissions? I do not believe it can be
worked satisfactorily, and I do believe
that the question of the value of the
service Is what we have got to come to
ultimately.
Uniform System of Kates.
Later on the discussion turned . to
the adoption of a uniform system of
classification of freights. It was con
tended by commissioners from the
"West that with three classifications
in effect in the United States there
was considerable confusion, a great
deal of apparent unfairness, and a con
sequent delay In the handling of
freights passing from one territory to
another, with change in classification.
Commissioner Lawrence, of Washing
ton, took part in this discussion, say
ing: In a rapidly growing state like Wash
ington there are a good many shipping
points growing Into importance that have
not yet been provided with a station
agent, bo that they are prepay stations.
Shipments coming from a territory hav
ing the official classification to such
points must come prepaid, and moving
from one group, as the official classifica
tion, to the western classification, it is
very difficult indeed to secure the exact
amount necessary to prepay the ship
ment, and when the shipment reaf-hes the
western classification and passes into
that different classification there is a
little change In the rates, there ' Is a
little insufficiency In the prepaid amount,
and the shipment is suspended in Its
transit, and weeks and sometimes months
will elapse before the consignee can re
ceive his goods or locate them.
That Is a specific illustration of one
of the evil results growing out of a lack
of uniform classification, and it seems to
me that this association should go clearly
on record as favoring that plan which
will bring about uniform classification,
to whioh of course there may be many
exceptions. I think we are not prepared
to say that there shall not be commodity
rates which will be exceptions from the
classification.
Mr. Fairchild asked If the resolution
offered by Commissioner Altchlson, of
Oregon, would not have the eitect of
preventing Improper manipulation of
classifications by railroads, the resolu
tion in the nature of an amendment
does not fully cover that to authorize
a change In the law eo that no rate can
BASIS
be raised without lhe consent of the
Interstate Commerce Commission' if
objection is made. Now, there Is no
question but what a change In classi
fication raises the rate. ' I think that
amendment absolutely protects people
against the injustice that you fear.
Aitchlson's Amendment Not Enough
Commissioner Burr, of Florida, did
not agree with this suggestion. He
said:
I believe that simply means the rate
Itself. The Hepburn law does not include
classification. I do not believe the
amendment offered by the gentleman
from Oregon will reach it. I believe his
amendment covers that, but I do not
believe It covers the-question of taking
out from a lower classification and plac
ing an article in a higher classification
for the reason that the law does not
Include classification.
Mr. Fairchild then added:
It Is a very simple matter, then, to
so provide. In Washington we attempted
to regulate general distance tariffs that
we had in force there. We received a
plain intimation that they would acqui
esce in that and probably would recoup
by raising some ot me commodity rates
that were In force upon which a great
bulk of the goods moved. In putting in
our order we provided that there should
be no change made, either in the rates or
classifications, affecting the other tariffs,
and from that portion of the order an ap
peal was taken. At the next session of
the. Legislature we simply had this
amendment reintroduced in our law, -that
the commission on investigation should
have the right to declare ' that anv exist
ing rate or classification was sufficiently
remunerative and that the same should
not be changed without the consent of
the commission.
Now. such an amendment would be put
into the Interstate Commerce law to
cover that entire question, and It seems
to me t-e spirit of the amendment covers
It.
Wreck That Did Not Occur.
When the convention was discussing
safety appliances. Commissioner Law
rence, of Washington, was "recognized
and told an interesting story of a
wreck that did not occur in Washing
ton one that might have resulted in
the greatest damage had it not been
for a peculiar chain of circumstances.
He said:
On one of the roads out in Washington
recently we learned of It since we left
there there was a heavy freight train
going up a mountain grade. In that
freight train, owing to some defective
couplers there were a number of chalned
up cars, which is in violation of our
state law as well, I understand as of
the National law. Those freight cars
were not properly equipped with air
brakes, which was a violation of the
state law as well as of the National law.
The trainmen had been on duty for 40
hours, which was a violation of the state
law as well as of the National law; and,
as we will all admit, it was Just a little
bit too long to require a man to remain
In continuous service.
While climbing that heavy mountain
grade a chain broke, and the caboose,
with a number of heavily loaded coai
cars, started down & 2 per cent grade
on the time of a transcontinental passen
ger train, one of the most important
passenger trains that cross the continent.
Due to leave a certain station was a
special train, against which the tail end
of this train started at a speed of 60
miles an hour. Fortunately the trans
continental train was late.1 Fortunately
the special train did not pull out of the
siding at this Intervening station until
after the tall end of this train dashed
down the mountain side and, striking an
adverse grade, eventually stopped, and a
section man came along and wakened up
the conductor and brakeman, who had
been found asleep In the meantime.
Curious Clock Run by Geyser.

Pne of the most curious clocks in the
world is said to be that which tells the
time to the inhabitants of a little
American backwoods town. The ma
chinery, which Is nothing but a face,
hands and lever, is connected with a
geyser which shoots ou. an Immense
column of hot water every thirty-eight
seconds. This spouting never varies to
the tenth of a second. Every time the
water spouts up it strikes the lever and
moves the hands forward thirty-eight
seconds.

POETS, POETRY
BY J. HENNESSY MURPHY.
OETRY, we are told is "the quin
tessence, or rather the luxury of all
learning." Very well. But who are
the poets and what Is poetry?
Recently, Ambrose Blerce, he -of the
caustic pen and a poet withal, declared
that George Sterling, author of "The
"Wine of Wizardry," is a very large
poet incomparably the greatest we have
on this side of the Atlantic, and that
not In a lifetime have we had such
ardent gems that burn and sparkle In the
poem aforesaid; while the adorable Ella
"Wheeler Wilcox, with true womanly con
fidence, characterizes the said poem as
one of "Long lines wherein colossal
vacuums reel" and the doughty Ambrose
as "an umpire yawning on his self-made
throne" who "cuddles a large conceit."
It would appear now as It did in Lord
Byron's times that there are some differ
ences among the poets as to who are It.
Again, we who are not poets are re
minded that we are swallowed up with
schemes for gain, and engrossed with the
earth earthy, hence wo catinot grasp the
majesty of the poet's Intellect; that we
have earth-creeping minds that cannot
look up to the sky of poesy. But we of
the vulgars have this defense: that if we
employed our leisure moments in study
ing the mechanism of the poets coop, we
would have to forego that of the politi
cians and preachers, both of which are
pressing and Important. Moreover, when
we do essay to g-et Inside of the poets
roof, we are not Infrequently confused,
bewildered and bedazzled. Witness this
from one of yesterday's (Sunday) papers:
"Now hear me. Central Oregon, that
wants the Iron rail:
Immediately call the parson, bring babes
to every vale."
Now. say, what do you think of that?
I fancy If a Central Oregon parson could
swing an Iron rail, 'twould be requlescat
In pace In some green poetio vale.
One of the ancients has warned us
"That there are many mysteries con
tained in poetry, which of purpose were
written darkly, lest by profane wits It
should be abused."
This may be the case with the above
quoted lines or that of the Rose Poet,
who a few days ago discovered that Port
land's roses were so rare that one could
find them everywhere. But roses are a
devilish ticklelsh thing for the poet to
monkey with. Few poets can do the roses
Justice without writing darkly.
The poet Laureate, of Astoria, the Hon.
Mr. Dealey, ex-offlcio Astoria's City
Treasurer, is one of them. Dissect this:
"Astorlan's rosea, whose buds discloses.
The blushing tints upon our noses."
This is pile-driver poetry, every word
and syllable are hammered down into the
foundation of fact. But the Hon. Mr.
Dealey Is a true poet, he oan look out

SALEM, Or.. Oct. 20. Special.) The
most shocking hunting accident . that
even occurred In Marlon County was re
corded this morning, when Lawrence J.
Martin, one of the best-known farmers
of this vicinity, was Instantly killed, the
entire top of his head being shot away.
The cause of the accident is as mysteri
ous as the results were appalling. Four
men stood by and saw the shooting and
none of them can account for It.
. Yesterday Martin, who lives five miles
east of Salem, invited eputy Post
master John Farrar, his brother.
Dee Farrar, and Dick Chittenden
to hunt on his farm today. Early
this morning the men drove out to
the Martin ranch, taking with them their
shotguns, that of Chittenden being a
double-barreled hammerless with a safety
appliance of the latest pattern.
Upon reaching the farm they were met
by Martin and his son, Ernest. The Far
rara leaned . their guns against the barn
and Chittenden laid his upon the ground
while the team was put away. Then all
returned where the guns were left.
Martin remarked "You have a new gun.
Dick." and picked up the hammerless

I trust Brother Dealey will not wish
unto me the ass" ears of Midas for my
appreciative appreciation.
The poets should cut out the mysteries
and write less darkly If they would be
understood. Here is something may be
studied with profit:
"The pup, the pup, the beautiful pup!
Drinking his milk from an old tin cup;
Scamping around so merry and free,
First gnawing a bone, then biting a flea.
The beautiful pup!"
This may send a convulsive shudder
through the roots of the dreamy whiskers
of our cultured townsman. Colonel Wood,
and cause him to beat a hasty retreat to
ward his bookish den to commune with
the Grecian divinities, or arouse Ithe
pious editor of the Catholic Sentinel to
exhort the agony of his soul:
"From these re?klng lunacies and here
tical conceits, O Lord, deliver us," but it
will find a responsive chord In the breasts
of those who have ever owned a frolic
some pup and a pair of lace curtains.
But there are times when the poet Is ac
cused of writing, or speaking darkly,
when he Is astonishingly luminous. For
example: During the recent municipal
campaign a Democratic joet and orator
was appealing . to his compatriots to
eschew Internal discussions; his eyes fell
upon Mount Hood, and with that fine
frenzy known only to poets, he pointed
toward the mount and exclaimed:
"Look! there it' stands, with frosty brow
and soars.
Within its breast the fiery ructions
roar."
Now, your purist would treat these
tines somewhat after this fashion: "Pooh,
pooh! What nonsense! Who ever heard
of a mountain flying? This poet's license
ought to be revoked."
Forsooth the couplet Is not within the
purview of your latter day standards of
literary criticism at all. The lines are a
psychological study, for It is a common
observation. If not experience, among
those who hare given any attention to the
problem of brain storms, that two Jolts
of the red Juice of the pure demooracy

was discharged, tho snot narrowly miss
ing his head. . Almost instantly the sec
ond barrel went off. In the meantime the
position of the gun had been changed
just enough so that the charge struck
Martin in the left side of the head, above
the mouth, ranging upward and back. It
tore away nearly all the top of his head.
The other four men were standing
within a few feet of him at the time,
and all were looking at him or the gun
when the. accident occurred.
They agree that Martin did not touch
the trigger and that the trigger did not
come in contact with anything. They
also agree that the safety appliance had
been set at "safe."
Examination of the gun fails to die
close any possible cause for the accident.
The weapon was loaded before reaching
the barn, and had been carried around a
field in exactly the same condition in
which It was when it went off. There
was no brush or wire or any other ob
struction near upon which the trigger
could have caught.
Martin was 52 years old and had been
a hunter all his life. He was perfectly
familiar with all kinds of guns, and had
been known as a careful sportsman.
He leaves a wife, one son and two
daughters Nina and Marie. All the chil

The story Is told of a young Oregon
girl, a favorite in society, but who was
poor and .had to take care not to get her
evening gowns soiled, as her number was
limited. At a dance not long ago a
great, big, red-faced, perspiring man
came up and asked her to dance. He
wore no gloves. She looked at the well
meaning but moist hands despairingly,
and thought of the immaculate back of
her waist. She hesitated a bit, and then
she said, with a winning smile:
"Of course I will dance with you, but,
If you don't mind, won't you please use
your handkerchief?"
The man looked at her blankly for a
moment or two. Then a light broke over
his face.
"Why, certainly," he said.
And he pulled out his handkerchief and
blew his nose.
