I THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, DECE3IBER iyu. 11. - ' 1 TARIFFS FREIGHT TO BE INCREASED Advance in Transcontinental Rates on Rail and Water Are Announced. SHIPPERS MAKE PROTEST Interstate Commerce Commission Is Deluged With Telegrams from Pacific Coast. Objecting to Ad- vance in 'Westbound Rates. WASHINGTON. Dec. 10. Trans-oontl rental freight tariffs, beginning January 1 next, will be advanced on all eastbound traffic, both by rail .and by water. The class rates on westbound traffic will re main the same as thev are now. The commodity rate on westbound traf fic from Atlantic ("onboard pointa to Pa cific Coast terminals will be increased ap proximately 10 per cent. On eastbound class rates there will be a decrease on flrst-class shipments from W.TO per ino pounds to S3 per 100. pounds. On class rates in CMoano and Central Traffic Association territory from the Pacific Coast terminals there will be a decrease on first-class shipments from L40 per 10 pounds to J3 per luO. This will equalize the class raws on both east and weotbound traffic. The eastbound commodity rate from the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic seaboard piiints will be advanced about 18 per cent on the aver age, some of the items being as high as t per cent advance and some as low as per cent. It Is notable that the bulk of the traffic moves under the commodity rates which show a decided increase. This announcement was made today by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The tariffs provide that the carload rates between Pacific Coast terminals and the points named in the East aluUl be the sum of the local carload rates. Tills will have the effect of increasing the rates very materially. An Intimation of the roads intention to thus Increase rates lias been received by shippers on the Pacific Coast and they have, deluged the Interstate Commerce Commission with telefjrams In protest. The Commission has no authority to prevent the filing of any rates the railways may see fit to put Into effect. It. Is likely, however, that a formal complaint will be tiled with the Commission. The Com mission then could Investigate. CONDENSED NEWS BY WIRE New Tork.

State Board of Education, la Arms at First. Makes Concession to Xew University President. HELENA. Mont.. Dec. 10. (Special.) Dr. C. A. DunJway. formerly of Port land, who recently left the faculty or Stanford University to become Presi dent of the State University .t Missou la, has already iegu to stir up edu cational matters In ms new home. He threw a bomb Into the meeting of the state board of education by declaring that all state institutions should be located In the name city. These several Institutions, are sltu ted in so many different cities and he pointed out the great advantage that would accrue from tlwir consoli dation, and not only from a financial standpoint, but also in the matter of avoiding duplications In the course of study, which It Is difficult to avoid under the present system. Members of the board were up In arms against tne proposition quite naturally from the fact that in owny instances they come from communi ties where Institutions are located. Dr. Dunlway pointed out that the buildings could be disposed of even below cost and the state be the gainer in ten years. But realizing that the proposi tion stood little chance, he urged a plan of unification In management with the result that a committee of five was appointed to consider the matter and report at the June meeting. That something along this line will be done cannot be gainsaid, although there will be uncruesUonably a keen ri valry over .the Institution which shall be the head. Dunlway prefers, the State University, of course.
