' vf COMMISSION UPHELD IN FIXING OF RATES Financial Stability of Rail roads to Be Considered. TIMBER TRACTS AFFECTED State Supreme Court Says Depre b ciation sray Be Amortized So. as to Yield Fair Return. SALEM, Or., May 11. (Special.) The right of the Oregon public serv ice commission to fix freight rates which will neither imperil the finan cial stability of the railroad compa nies nor prove unjust to shippers, was settled by the supreme court here today when an opinion was haaded j down upholding the decree of Jtwlge G. G. Bingham of the Marion county circuit court in the case brought by the Hammond Lumber company, El wood Logging company, C. M. Chris tensen Logging company, Nehalem In vestment company. Murphy Timber company, Fisnhawk Timber company, McPherson Timber company and the Detroit Trust company, corporations. and Robert C. Kinney, to compel the i public service commission to adopt and put into operation a tariff of freight rates submitted by the plain tiffs. The , opinion was written by Justice Burnett. The plaintiffs, according to the opinion, are owners of large tracts of timber in Columbia county in a region served by the Columbia & Xehalem River Railroad company, which owns and operates a railroad about 27 miles in length in that coun ty, mainly for the purpose of hauling logs to the Columbia river. Appeal Taken AgitlnM Rate. The railroad company some time ago filed with the public service com mission of- Oregon its schedule of freight rates, which was contested before the commission by. the plain tiffs, as far as it related to the rates to be charged for logs. After a hear ing before the commission, in which the plaintiffs and railroad company were both represented, the commission made an order fixing the rates on logs at a certain figure. Dissatisfied with this rate Ihe plaintiffs instituted suit in the circuit court for Marion county to override the order, of the commis sion. The case was heard by Judge Bing ham, with the result that he upheld the contention and order of the pub lic service commission. Plaintiffs then appealed to the supreme court for final determination of the suit. It was within the scone of the public service commission's authority to establish such a rate as would amortize th'3 depreciation, as well as to yield to the carrier a fair return for its services," reads the opinion. "To hold otherwise would be to say that when an individual or corpora tion devotes property to public uses it amounts to a voluntary sacrifice or thank-offering on the public altar."
