HERE COAST IS RAPPED Tariff Especially for Pacific Slope Wrong, Says Report. INTERIOR POINTS UPHELD Jntantate Ooramrrc Commission Asserts System Intended to De velop Onlj Ports la Trans portation Yate. WASHINGTON. Ir. to. Tli Inter state Commerce fomm lesion declares la' Us innsxl report, made public todar. fiat "It Is a waste of transportation and therefore an economic wrona to main tain a system of tariffs wr.lch Is ex press;? Intended to develop the Paclfle l'ot cities and to arrest the derelop ment of the Interior." This le In con r.ectlon with Its discussion of the trans continental rate cases. In wl.lch It takes sharp !sue with the Commerce Court. In discussing the effect of water com petition upon ratea. the Commission says It 'cannot tx a rale from New Tork to ?mn Francisco below which the rail line shall not to, for It has no au thority to Da a minimum rate. There Is. therefore, no way in which It can prevent discrimination by the fixing- of an absolute rate at San Francisco and another absolute rate at Reno. It can only accomplish this purpose by pre ecrlblnc tue difference which mar properly exist osier to the effect of this competition and a How In a" the car rier to make whatever rata It sees fit to the more distant point, so Ions; as It cbeerrea this differential. Rum Ratea Wanted. The report Indicates the desire of shippers from points In the Interior of the country to obtain the same rates to the Pacific CoaM that are accorded by tho railroads to their competitors on the Atlaatto seaboard. The ratea are riia.de the same by tho transcontinental lines on tbs (round of market compe tition. While tho Commission re comixes the full effect of water competition upon the rail ratea. It says: "We hare tho frank admission of tho railroad man asers that they have subsidised or bous;ht some of the steamship Unas and terrorised others until they can make the boast that the effect of the sea has been neutralised. "Tho Commerce Court Intimates that the mistake of the Commission la In h&vlns; attempted to flx a relation of rates Instead of establishing reasonable rates: but. as ws have already pointed out. there Is no way In whlcb tho dis crimination found to exlet In theae tar iffs can be prevented except by flxlna a differential, since we have no power to establish an absolute rata or flx a minimum eharae below which the car rier Is not free to "0. Hlaher Rate Net JmstiAed. "We feel stronrly that water compe tition, even when tho widest reasonable latitude Is riven to tho effect of mar ket competition, cannot by any possi bility Justify a cls;her rata from Omaha to Reno than from Omaha to San Fran cisco: from Ft. Paul to Spokane than from 8t. Paul to Seattle. "I'pon the other hand. It ahould bo noted that tho opening; of the Panama, Canal may eo add to the Intensity of this water competition as to call for some modification of tho oonclusloa new reached.- Many InvesMratlons were made that disclosed practices not of sufficient gravity to warrant prosecution, but of sued doubtful propriety that the Com mission ordered their discontinuance. In this connection the Commission says slrnincantly: "It becomesMnereaslns-ly evident that entire freedom from discrimination can be secured only by a complete sepa ration of the business of transporta tion from every. form of commercial or Industrial enterprises." In conclusion ttie Commission recom mends that the law be amended so as to require telephone, telegraph and cable companies to publish, file and post their Interstate tariffs: to make tho Eiklna act applicable to such companies: that transportation companies be required to adopt a. system of uniform classifica tion of freight; to provide additional safeguards In railroad transportation for employes and the public: to relievo tho Commission or tne jurisdiction or the street railways of the District of Columbia: to provide for the regulation and control of capitalisation and suit able provisions for the valuation of railway property: and that a suitable building- bo provided for tbo use of tho Commission.
