ders covering distributive rates from
Coast cities, we will be limited by the
Federal order on the Short Line mile
age to the Idaho line. In other words,
our rates to the state line must ajrree
with the Interstate, as otherwise there
would be a discrimination that the
courts would not or should not approve.
But our rates will not follow the Fed
eral horlxontal reduction. Our orders
will be on a mileage basis. We shall
build up a distance tariff on which re
sults will accomplish the 20 per cent
reduction, but the reduction wlll be
distributed were most needed.'

paper which conveyed the Impression

"Ni doubt Spokane's position la due
to the fact that the consumers of ttie
Inland Kmpir will be greatly benefited
by the reduced rates which become ef
fective January s, 115." said Mr.
Lothrop.
"This. I believe. Is the first time that
Spokane and the Coast cities have
agreed on a rate proposition, so that we
can naturally expect tha support of

part of the railroad companies In at
tempting to bring about a postpone

"These rates mould be slightly high

j ,
It will be seen at a glance that the
railroads already have granted Spokane
most liberal reduotlons In distributing
rates, which bare been In effect for
many years. -
'Possibly it Is the Intention of the
Washington Public Service Commission
to make a further reduction, but I
doubt It. as their statement Indicates
that they will follow closely the basis
ordered by tha Interstate Commerce
Commission, hence farther reduction In
Spokane distributing rates is quite un
likely. "The distributing rests at present In
effect along the lines of the Great
Northern and Northern Paclflo follow
very cloaely the distance tariff.
"So that if the Washington Pub
llo Service Commission does adopt the
baala established by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the consumers
In all of the territory In the State, of
Washington between the Sound cities
and Spokane will receive very sub
stantial benefit.
"A 20 per cent reduction on goods
distributed by tha coast manufacturers
and Jobbers means a very gratifying
saving to tha consumers.-
