9 (JAIL RATE RISE TO ipsj&sg Double Trading Stamps With Cash Purchases All Over the Store THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1920 RETARD ROAD WORK Revision on ' Building Mate rials Is Requested. TARIFF IS NOT EQUALIZED Highway Commission Avers Sched ule Is Higher Than on Other Commodities. SALTS M, Or., Aug. 20. (Special.) That road construction work in Ore gon will be retarded in case the in crease of 25 per cent in freight charges is allowed to apply to the transportation of road building ma terial, based on the present tariff for these commodities, was the charge made by the state highway commis sion in a petition asking for an im mediate revision offt-ates on cement, asphalt and other kindred materials. The petition was completed today and copies have been sent to the managements of the Southern Pacific lines, Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation company, Oregon Short Line railroad, Oregon Trunk railroad. Northern Pacific Railway company, Oregon Electric and United Railways. The highway commission previously filed a similar complaint with the Oregon public service commission, with the result that the former body was advised that any question re garding the rate of transporting a particular article should be take a up separately. The public service com mission urged at that time that ac tion be taken immediately in order that the protest might receive con sideration prior to the establishment of the new tariffs on August 26. All Commodities Included. "It is contemplated, we are ad vised," reads the highway commis sion's protest, "that the increase shall apply to all commodities including cement, asphalt, gravel, sand, rock and other road building' materials. The position of the Oregon state highway commission with reference to freight rates on road building ma terial is that the current rates on such materials are such that the shippers are required to bear a freight burden, disproportionate to that borne by shippers of other ma terials. "At the time the application of the carriers was heard by the public service commission on August 16 the state highway commission interposed an objection and filed a written pro test to the application of the pro posed increase in freight rates to roSd building material until the cur rent rates are revised so that this material will be placed on an equal ity, so far as freight rates are con cerned, with other commodities. "By reference of comparison the basis of our claim for adjustment of rates applicable to cement and as phalt, particularly on the Southern Pacific lines, would be fairly based on the earnings on the basis of gross weight. "It is to be noted that the carload minimum on cement is 30,000 pounds, and the earnings are four per cent a hundred pounds on gross weight basis, while on the basis of the av erage carload for roadmaking pur poses the earnings are seven cents a hundred pounds gross weight basis. Kxeeii Is Explained. "The difference, three- cents a hun dred pounds, represents an excess of 75 per cent against the latter, and in connection with asphalt, on the same basis, the difference represents an excess of ST-A cents per hundred weight. "In the matter of gravel, sand crushed rock, etc., we need not go farther than the comparison with logs. The difference on the same basis represents an excess of 50 per cent against the road materials. "The purpose of bringing these facts to the attention of the carriers at this time is to request and apply for a revision in the current freight rates as affecting road building ma terial. "The Oregon state highway com mission believes, and claims that cur rent -rates on such materials are at least 30 per cent in advance of the rates on other commodities. "It is requested that this revision and reduction be made before the ap plication of the 25 per cent Increase in freight rates on all commodities is applied, as petitioned by the carri era.

Don't have to be so care ful about tea. A cup of fine tea is much cheaper than common tea. There's no comparison.
