BIG TRAFFIC AT STAKE
Uarrlman rine Faces Question of
Losing Part of Washington
Business Because of Reduc
ing Tariffs in Oregon.
Study of the Hallway Commission law
of "Washington indicates that the grain
rate inun, recently decided in that state
directly affecting the Northern Pacific
cnlv, may l- brought to a focus this
Kail with respect to the attitude other
railroads may take, for the probability is
confronting at least the O. R- & that
It will lose a large share of the srain
tonnage from Washington comjetltlve
pD'nts unless It meets the reduced rate
n"xt month.
It 1s admitted that reductions made on
rates to Portland from Washington
points must alo. under Interstate com
merce regulations, apply from equivalent
points in Oregon, and the principal ques
tion now confronting the Hamman road
is whether It is better to lose a share of
!lts Washington wheat tonnage this Fall
; p-riding a ruling by the courts on the
North?rn Pacific rase or reduce the grain
' rate in general throughout Washington
1 and Oregon and saw the tonnage.
Cae 3Iar Be Reviewed.
The order of the T ashtngton Commls
', eion made i few days ago requiring a
' flat reduction on grain rates on the
Northern- Pacific of 12V per cent becomes
jeffevtive of its own force 20 days after
'eervict of notice upon the Northern Pa-
cifif. During that 20 days the Northern
t Pacific has the right to petition to the
t superior court for a review of the Ccm
! mission s finding. The taw provides as
f follows:
Pending such rerlt, th court having
Jurisdiction may. In Its discretion, suspend
the order of the Commission until the
liirther order of the court pending such litl-
gatton, in wnicn eveni iie court hib; "
quir a bond with good and sufficient se
curity, conditioned that such company pe
titioning for such review shall answer tor all
dajnacrs caused by ths delay In the en
forcement of the order of ttva Commit
Ion. and all compensation for whatever
urns for transportation, transmission or
service any person or corporation shall be
compelled to pay pending the review pro
redtnKS. in oxcMi of th-a sum such person
or corporation would hart been compelled,
to pay If the order of the Commission bad
not been suspended.
It Is also providfd that In the event ap
peal Is taken to the Supreme Court a
bond conditioned as set forth In the foie
golng shall be required of the compiny
appealing.
Under the provisions of the section
quoted it is understood that if the
.Northern Pacific seeks a review of the
Railway Commission's order in the
courts and the courts finally sustain
the ruling- of the commission, shippers
will have the right of recovery for
freight charges paid in excess of the
reduced rate ordered.
$800,000 Is Involved.
The Northern Pacific, it is firmly be
lieved by Portland railroad men. will
appeal from the commission's ruling,
for about 1300,000 in revenues is in
volved. If it does and the order is
temporarily suspended It is argued that
grain shippers at Washington competi
tive points will patronize the Northern
Pacific with the expectation of ulti
mately irettlng a refund of 12 H per
cent.
It is conceded that this puts the O.
R. & N. up against a peculiar situation.
It Is not involved In the grain rate
order and therefore shippers can have
no later recourse against It for a re
bate. If it does not make a cut of
12 Vt cents now, however, it Is likely
to lose a large amount of tonnage. If
it does matte a reduction at competitive
Washington points it must apply the
same rate to Oregon points of equal
distance from Portland and if it does
this the Northern Pacific will undoubt
edly be compelled to grant the reduced
rate at once, appeal or no appeal. The
shippers would rather have an imme
diate reduction of 12 Vt cents than a
possible one in the future and in the
event of a cut would patronize the O.
R. A N. unless the Northern Paclflo
fell in line.
One feature of the section quoted Is
pointed out as having a further ten
dency to precipitate a cut in rates. The
law seems to make the suspension of
the . commission's order discretionary
"with the court before which the review
proceedings are instituted. The court
in the Northern Pacific case may not
suspend the order, in which event the
new rates will be m force early in Octo
ber, provided notlve Is given the North
ern Pacific at once.
Bond Section Not Clear.
The wording of the section wherein it
is stated that a bond "may" be required
will probably Be looked upon by some
attorneys as providing, in effect, that
unless a bond is required the shipper will
not have the right of recovery of the
difference between the reduced and the
present rate In the event the ruling is
sustained. However, it is claimed the
section Is capable of two Interpretations
and the shippers are likely to adopt the
one that suits them better, which means
that they will favor the Northern Pa
cific in the hope of ultimately collect
ing a rebate unless the O. K. & N. meets
the cut.
Head officials of the O. R. i N. in
Portland are not yet ready to say what
will be the outcome of the Washington
Commission's ruling. Yesterday J. p.
O'Brien, vice-president and general man
ager, said that the matter properly fell
In the freight department, of which R.
B. Miller la the head.
"I am interested in it only in a general
way." said Mr. O'Brien, "and know noth
ing about the matter except what I
have learned from a short conversation
with Mr. Miller. I understand from him
that the Northern Pacific has not yet re
ceived a copy of the order and we have
not yet obtained one. It looks to me,
however, as If we would have to meet
any rate put in effect from the wheat
country to Puget Sound."
The grain rate order promulgated by
the Washington Railway Commission is
the final step in proceedings that have
covered several years of active work.
The complaint on wheat rates was filed
in 1W6 and the first work undertaken by
the Commission was to determine the
actual valuation of all the principal rail
roads operating in Washington.
Road Values Determined.
It was necessary to determine the val
uations for the purpose of later ascer
taining whether the net revenue of the
railroads provided an income out of pro
portion to the capital at work. The
task of determining the valuations con
sumed nearly two years and was practi
cally the pioneer work of that kind In
the United States. Eastern engineers
MAY
were employed and the railroad prop
erty was thoroughly gone over; volumi
nous records of the cost of the original
roads and the Improvements subsequently
made were searched and tabulated: then
there were extensive hearings and the
valuations were fixed late in 19CS.
These valuations were far under those
submitted by the railway companies,
and It was contended at that time that
the railroads had boosted values in
order to put the net revenues at a
reasonable percentage of the capital
invested. It was known that the Wash
ington authorities would take tha rail
way valuations as found by the com
mission as a basis for railway tax-'
atlon. but the railroads apparently pre
ferred higher taxes to lower rates. A
low valuation "meant low taxes, but it
also meant a reduction In rates. One
of the Washington railway commis
sioners, J. C. Lawrence, In one of the
hearings declared that the railroads
were between the "devil and the deep
sea," the devil being low rates and the
deep sea being high taxes.
Findings of Commission.
The railway commission finally fixed
the Northern Pacific value at $111,000.-000-
the Great Northern at $59,000,000,
and the O. R. & N. at $16,800,000. Dur
ing these hearings it was admitted that
the figures placed on the value of the
O. R. & N. could not become a factor
in determining the reasonableness of
grain rates in Washington, for the rea
son that the company's lines in Oregon
were branch roads, with the long haul
in Oregon. It was expected, however,
that if a reduction were found neces
sary In order to make grain rates rea
sonable on the Northern Pacific, the O.
R. A N. Co. would be compelled, in order
to protect Its own interests ,to meet
the reduced rate.
The final rate order Issued last Sat
urday was delayed one year by reason
of the presence in the Washington
statutes of the old N maximum freight
rate laws. It was a mooted question
whether the new railway commission
law repealed the old statutes by appli
cation, and to save all question on that
point In the courts It was deemed ad
visable to secure a specific repeal of the
old statutes. This was done at the last
regular session of the Washington Legis
lature. Thereafter several hearings were
necessary In order to make up the grain
rate record and the order finally ap
peared requiring a reduction of 12V4 P"
"aj anticipated the O. R. ft N- Com
pany is now confronted by the probable
necessity of meeting the reduced rate or
losing a large share of a profitable busi
ness. CITY tFcSSi site
WILL SEIZE RIVER FROXTAGE
FOR BROADWAY BRIDGE.
Property Owned by Sirs. M. Ij. Flan
ders Needed for Approach.
Price Asked Is Refused.
Condemnation proceedings will be start
ed bv the city against the property
owned by Mrs. Maria L. Flanders and
held under a 25-year lease with an option
of purchase by Albers Bros. This prop
erty is necessary for use as the west
approach of the Broadway bridge. When
a commltee consisting of City Attorney
Kavanaugh, Mr. Albers and others called
on Mayor Simon yesterday the price
asked for the property by Mr. Albers and
Mrs. Flanders was JTSO.ono.
"The cltv will not entertain any such
price." declared Mayor Simon at the
close of the conference, "and the result
will be that condemnation proceedings
will be started to secure the property at
an equitable price."
The property in question has a frontage
of 70 feet on the river and a depth of
about 215 feet. The City Engineer was
called into consultation yesterday- to see
whether it would be possible to alter the
bridge plans so that less property will
be required.
City Attornev Kavanaugh hopes to be
able to straighten out the difficulty and
savs there will be another conference
next week, at which two propositions will
be placed before the Mayor for considera
tion. One of these will give the city
title to the property and the other will
merely give it the right to pass over the
property without title. The Mayor, how
ever, is said to oppose this latter plan
and prefers obtaining a title outright.
