SEATTLE PROTESTS
RATE CASE REPORT
Exceptions to Examiner's
Findings Filed
PORTLAND CALLED UNFAIR
Oral Argument at Hearing Asked;
Claim Made Recommendations
Consider Distance Only.
SEATTLE. Wash., Feb. 13. (Spe
cial.) Exceptions on behalf of Seat
tie and Tacoma Interveners to the
proposed report of Chief Examiner
Henry Thurtell In the Portland rate
case have been forwarded to the In
terstate commerce commission with
the reaueet that oral argument be
granted before the full commission.
according to 8. J. Wetrick, attorney
for the transportation bureau of the
Seattle chamber of commerce and
commercial club.
The public service commission of
Washington also has filed exceptions
to the proposed report strongly, ob
jecting to its adoption on the ground
' that it would disturb rates flsed by
the commission which are adjusted in
such a manner as to give each com
munity what It is entitled to and
satisfactory to everyone except Port
land-, which Is trying to obtain an ad
vantage over the cities in the state
of Washington, particularly those of
Puget sound.
The Seattle and Tacoma interveners
take exception to that part of the
chief examiner's report in which he
recommends that the commission find
that the rates to and from the terri
tory south of the Snake river should
be lower to Portland than to Puget
sound.
Inveatlgatioa Incomplete, Is Charge.
It is alleged that In making this
recommendation the examiner limited
and confined his consideration of the
case to the territory south of the
Snake river and failed to show that in
other parts of the territory to and
from whieh the rates are now the
same the distances favor Puget sound
and that, considering the blanket ter
ritory as a whole, the existing parity
in rates Is fair and proper.
The examiner's treatment of the
case is further objected to on the
ground that he failed to take into
consideration other elements than
distance, such as the history and de
velopment of the rates, the reasons
for their establishment, the nature of
the traffic, the competition between
the carriers, shippers and communi
ties, the advantages of parity in rates
to the wheat growers, merchants and
consumers in the interior and the ef
fect upon business and commercial
conditions which are of much greate
Importance, as the commission, has
frequently held.
In the argument in support of the
exceptions it is shown that when the
entire territory is considered the dis
tances are as favorable to the cities
on Puget sound as to Portland; that
by far the larger part of the popula
tion of the Inland empire is in the
territory nearer Puget sound, and
that if Portland Is entitled to lower
rates from the territory south of the
Snake river, the sound cities ara en
titled to lower rates from the terri
tory north thereof, particularly from
tne territory on the norh of the Mil.
waukee railroad.
Blanket Plan Favored.
Numerous cases of the commission
are cited In which it held that grouD
Ing or blanket arrangements In rates
are of great advantage to the publi
and once established should not be
disturbed because It would be revolu
tionary and destructive to established
commercial interesta of enormous
volume and Yalue.
The case will probably be .'orally
argued before the commission some
time in April after which the final
derision will be rendered. S. J. Wet
rick. attorney for the transportation
bureau of the Seattle Chamber of
candidate for president shall be se
lected from Aew Jersey and our can
didate for vice-president from Con
necticut or Rhode Island in case our
convention goes wet. But we would
not be cure of carrying those three
states because a conscience may
break out there before election.
"Those who talk about a wet' plank
in our platform do not have an in
terest in a democratic victory.
"The platform will strongly declare
for woman suffrage, and the conven
tion may be expected to propose ef
fective remedies, national, state and
local, for profiteering and his older
cromer. tne trust."
Mr. Bryan thought it safe to say
that the party will declare against
return to a protective tariff, and will
indorse the income tax.
"That is, the democratic party will
oppose the plan of big business on
this subject," he said. "Big business
and the men of great wealth, the in
fluence that dominates the republican
leaders, will try to shift the burden
of taxation onto the backs of tbe
poor.
"Labor questions will occupy a
large plaoe in our platform. I have
no doubt the party will defend the
right to organise and peaceably to
persuade, declare in favor of an
eight-hour day: favor the right of
collective bargaining. I also hope
the democratic party will declare in
favor of the creation of machinery
for the investigation of all disputes

A Marked Suburban Development
Tributary to Portland
Within a short distance from Portland in
all directions are hundreds of small farms,
or acre tracts, where thrifty people, with
an eye to the future of their families, are
leading contented, industrious lives.
The splendid paved roads and convenient
interurban car service, which make it pos
sible to sell their products in local markets,
have been factors in inducing these men and
women to take up dairying, poultry raising,
vegetable growing, and the raising of
small fruits, berries, and nursery stocks.
A trip out to any of these suburbs will
inspire in one a desire to go and do like
wise, so charming are these country places,
with their comfortable, modern homes, and
prosperous, well-kept look.
The Ladd & Tilton Bank has ever encouraged
saving with home-ownership in view, and
.will be glad to aid with business advice
those who aspire to live in the suburban
territory tributary to Portland.

Public Service Commissioners May
Concur In Dengfhy Report
Some Time This Month.
The city's brief in the hearing of
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
company before the state public serv
ice commission asking for an increase
in revenue will be filed wit the com
mission today. Being mailed to the
members of the commission at Salem,
according to the statement of Deputy
City Attorney Stanley Myers, who ap
peared before the commission at tne
recent hearings on behalf of the city.
Mr. Myers' brief is the last paper
that haa to be filed before the final
consideration of the entire case by the
commission, and it Is believed that
with the sending of 'the brief to the
commissioners early today an early
decision may be looked for. While
the case was in -progress Fred G.
Buchtel, chairman of the commission,
expressed the hope that a decision
would be handed down within a month
and this led attorneys on both sides
of the question to express the belief
yesterday that the verdict may be ex
pected by the end of this month Or
soon thereafter.
A lengthy opinion, covering the
case in detail. Is expected and it is
pointed out that it will take some
little time for the preparation of such
a decision in which all three of the
commissioners are expected to concur.
The street-car company, represented
by R. A. Leiter, was given five days
following the hearings in which to
submit its brief and this paper was
handed in by Mr. Leiter last Wednes
day. The brief summarized the vari
ous argumenta presented at the hear
ings and renewed the petition of the
company for an increase In revenue
sufficient to enable the company to
meet expenses and to pay a reason
able return upon its Investment. It
has been generally considered that 7
per cent Is the reasonable return de
sired and that the street-car officials
believe that nothing short of an 8
cent fare will enable the company to
pay a reasonable return.'
After the presentation of the com
pany's brief 'the city was given five:
days in which to study the brief and'

After the Championship
Was Won
Ted Atwater was the hern of tha
elrcle seated around the nre-placa In
the fraternity hmixe. His apectanuar
end run had captured the champion
ship game in tha laat quarter on m
rival's Held.
"Do you know, Wlnws, f thought tha
day before the game that I would
have to chuck my -rhanca to play for
tbe championship," be aald.
"Standing around the station In that
drlstle when tha crowd gave tha twain
their send-ofT gave me a rotten cold.
When we arrived my bead waa atop-
ed up and 1 was sneeaing my brains
nose. I sure thought I waa In for It.
Hut old Saundora, M. D.. Died me up.
didn't you, old top?'' Ted said, slap
plng Saundera on tha ahoulder.
'Well, 1 gave Lhe surest cold knock
out I know of." replied Maunders, who
raa a eenlnr medical student. "I
don't think anything can beat Weeks'
Break-Up-A-Cold Tableta."
"1 dnn't think there la either," aald
Ted. "Every trace of a cold had dis
appeared tha dav of the game and I
felt aa lit as a perky little sub chaser."
"Tou should have, becausa Waeka'
never make you feel dull or dopey,"
baundera oontlnuad. "Another darned
good thing about them Is that they
contain no calomel. You sea calomel
ia a mercury compound, and too much
of it will start mercury poisoning.
Weeks haven't a bit of calomel la
thema vegetable laiatlve la used In
stead. Thais another reason why
you should always be sura to get
Weeks'. All druggists sell them for
tweaty-flva centa a box, aa you don't
bavs to acoapt a substitute."
