RATE DECISION
r
i
Business Men Hold That Economic
Argument for Columbia. Water
Grade Xot Wholly Met.
Qualified gratification is expressed
by many Portland business men over
the report of the examiner In the
Portland rate case, recently an
nounced, which partially removed the
discrimination against which the
shippers of the city have long com
plained and which must now be
passed upon for its final status by
the interstate commerce commission.
While pleased at the victory that
Portland has won and predicting' that
the new rates will mean an increase
In commerce and tend to aid ma
terially In the upbuilding of the port,
several who are thoroughly conver
sant with the situation said yesterday
that the award is less than the city
is logically entitled to, and does not
meet in its entirety the economic
argument for the Columbia water
grade versus the mountain haul to
Puget Sound.
In general, business men decline
to discuss the rate award at length,
for the present, at least, choosing to
wait until the full text of the report
is received or until the Interstate
commerce commission has taken
final action. Among these was J. P.
Newell, engineer, who prepared much
of the data used in Portland's argu
ment for the water-grade.
Comparison Is Necessary.
"It is difficult to judge of the
effects that will follow the adoption
by the interstate commerce commis
sion of the tentative report of Ex
aminer Thurtell," said Mr. Newell,
"until a careful comparison is made
of the .'Vggested differentials with
the exlsti5 rates.
"The report recognizes the principle
that differences in cost of service
should be reflected, at least In some
degree, in the rates, and this is nat
urally very gratifying to those who
have contended for this view.
"The effect is bound to be a much
enlarged traffic along the water
grade routes, with a resultant reduc
tion in the total cost of transporta
tion, to the benefit of the whole coun
try. The particular benefits arising
will inure at times to the shipper and
at other times to the buyer, depend
ing on commercial conditions, but
both are bound to profit by it in some
degree.
"It is easy, however, to exaggerate
the effects of the proposed changes,
assuming that our hopes are realized
by the action of the commission.
Other economies in transportaton
are possible, and if these are taken
advantage of by our rivals, while we
neglect them, the advantages from
the rate decision may be neutralized.
We must still work as hard to build
up our commerce as though this case
had been decided against us."
Partial Victory Seen.
H. B. "Van Duzer, president of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, ex
pressed approval of the report, so far
as it goes, but inclined to the belief
that the victory, at best. Is no more
than a partial one and could scarcely
have been less, were the award to
favor Portland at all.
"This decision," said Mr. Van
Duzer, "has increased considerably
lortland's non-competitive trade and
territory, but it is only a partial rec
ognition of Portland's geographical
location. The bulk of the tonnage
from the inland empire is still, under
this indicated decision, carried at the
same rate, no matter whether the
haul be over the Cascade mountains
or down the Columbia river grade.
"It must be understood though that
this decision is not the final decision
of the interstate commerce commis
sion, and while they usually affirm
the decision of the examiner, yet it is
not always well to count your chick
ens before they are hatched."
Inasmuch as shipping comes where
there is trade to be had, and assum
ing that the report, if affirmed by
the commission, will bring an In
creased commerce to this port, Ed
ward N. Weinbaum. foreign trade sec
retary of the Portland chamber, be
lieves that Portland is on the thres
hold of rapid progress as a port.
Action Means Cargoes.
The adoption of this report -will
mean a cheap haul via the water
crade," eaid Mr. Weinbaum. "This
means cargoes, and where there are
cargoes to be had the boats come."
That the report of the examiner In
the Portland rate case Is long de
layed recognition of the natural ad-,
vantages of Portalnd and presages
much for the city and its territory is
the opinion of Isaac Hunt, vice-president
of the Ladd & Tilton bank, and
member of the shipping committee of
the Portland chamber.
"I think It Is the beginning of
Portland's coming Into her heritage
of natural advantages," said Mr. Hunt.
"It is the recognition of economic
conditions In rate making, which will
bring Portland further gains In the
future. Now it is obligatory on the
city to prepare facilities and tonnage
for the increased commerce that will
naturally develop."
Nothing more than mere recogni
tion of distance, without attention
nairi to the wat p r-pra il Annmv la
to be found! in the report,' according
to the opinion or W. 13. B. Dodson.
executive secretary of the Portland
chamber. "While not minimizing the
benefits that will accrue, Mr. Dodson
points out that Portland could
scarcely have been awarded less on
the showing made.
Distance Alone Considered.
"The report of the examiner gives
to Portland," said Mr. Dodson, "and
the producers of this region the very
least that could have been granted
in the case. The changes are based
on a distance argument alone, and
not in any respect upon the economy
of the down-river haul.
"In other words the territory south
of the Snake river is placed on a dis
tance basis entirely, without consid
ering at all the saving to be effected
by the water-grade haul. The ex
aminer has not granted in any respect
any concession based upon the
economy of the river route as against
the. mountain haul. It does not seem
that the fundamental principles In
volved have been recognized at all.
"At all times, for that matter, we
have been Just as much entitled to
the territory south of the Snake river,
n a distance basis, as Puget Sound
has been to the Taklma valley on a
distance basis. The situations are
almost parallel, and Yakima valley
has long been recognized as Puget
Bound territory."
Advantages are rife in the report,
believes John H. Lothrop, secretary
of the Portland Traffic and Trans
portation association, but extensive
comment should be withheld until

pany; Miles Sandish, Lane-Miles
the text of the report is received for
analysis.
"It is scarcely possible to discuss
the report and express an opinion
until the full statement is received
and opportunity is given to analyze
it," said Mr. Lothrop. "And until the
full text of the report is received it
is impossible to state the amount of
benefit that will accrue to Portland
from the decision.
"It is unquestionably true, how
ever, that Portland gained a very
substantial victory and that the dif
ferentials allowed by the report will
be of extreme benefit to Portland,
varying somewhat upon different
commodities and different classes of
merchandise.
"The greatest advantage to Port
land, as I see it, is the recognition by
the interstate commerce commission
of the principle for which we have
been contending for a number of
years. The natural advantages of
Portland on the Columbia river will
be reflected in the freight rates.
"Furthermore, the differentials will
have an impotant bearing upon the
point of location of future industries."

Woman Legislator Declares Men
Are "Falling Over Tltemselves"
for "Political Thunder."
Capital punishment was the subject
for discussion before the members of
the Civic league at the regular lunch
eon and meeting yesterday noon at
the Benson hotel, the programme for
the day including a debate as to
whether a forthcoming .session of the
legislature should or should not
amend the Oregon laws to return the
death penalty to this state. The sub
ject proved of such interest as to at
tract an unusually large number to
the session.
Captain Arthur Murphy, a local at
torney recently with the 91st division
in France, spoke in favor of the res
toration of capital punishment, while
David F. Morrison, president of the
Prisoners' Aid society, spoke against
the death penalty and in favor of the
retention of the present law in Ore
gon. Captain Murphy cited a number of
recent cases of cold-blooded mur
ders, which, he declared, might have
been prevented if the possibilities of
the gallows had been before the minds
of the men before they committed
their respective crimes. The case of
Johnson, the murderer of Mrs. Free
man, welfare worker among prison
ers, was cited as the most flagrant
example of this. Johnson, he re
called, had declared at the time of
his trial that the worst the law could
give him would be life imprisonment,
and that he hoped to get out through
a pardon In a few years. The speak
er upheld the right of society to take
human life in such cases, as a means
of protection to society itself. In sup
port of his contention that men sen
tenced to life Imprisonment were fr.
quently released before they had
served out their terms and that there
fore the possibility of life imprison
ment did not loom up as a sufficient
punishment to dieter men from mur
der, the speaker quoted records from
"Lend a Hand." the magazine pub
lished by the inmates of the Oregon
state penitentiary, showing that of
285 men sentenced to life imprison
ment since the establishment of the
prison in 1854, 158 men or 55.4 per
cent of the total, had been pardoned
and released.
Mr. Morrison, in his argument, held
that capital punishment did not act
as a deterrent to crime. He quoted
figures from the records of various
states to support this position and de
clared. that restitution of the death
penalty in Oregon would be a step
backwards in the march of clviliza
tion.
Mrs. Alexander Thompson, member
of the state legislature, declared that
the men of the legislature were "fall
ing over themselves" in the fight for
the honor of introducing a capital
punishment measure in the forthcom
ing session, not particularly -because
they believed such a measure should
be passed, but because they knew it
would be "political thunder" for the
benefit of their constituents.
SUPPLY IN SIGHT
REGIOXAIi DIRECTOR REPORTS
OFFICIAXS ARE BUSY.
Estimates Place Requirements of
Northwest at 15,000 Empties
to .Retrieve Congestion.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 10. (Special.)
Assurances that everything possible
will be done to increase the empty
car supply for northwestern indus
tries was given Friday by District Di
rector L. C. Gilman of the railroad
administration, in a telegram from
Chicago to his office in Seattle.
J. C. Roth, who is in charge of the
details of the car supply under Dis
trict Director Gilman, estimates that
approximately 15,000 cars would be
needed to move the freight that could
be offered at once by northwestern
shippers.
Mr. Gilman went to Chicago to try
to end the shortage. His telegram
said:
"Regional director is doing every
thing possible to increase car sup
ply for Pacific northwest and it now
looks like a considerable increase In
the empty movement west. The coal
situation has cleared up so that we
may expect a good supply from the
head of the lakes, and also a larger
movement of empties from the east
through Chicago. Seventy-five cars
per day have been ordered through
Huntington in excess of equalization,
and twenty-five cars through Ash
land n excess of equalization, and
steps are being taken to increase the
movement through Billings. The
Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul has
1500 empties held up on account of
congestion. These are now on their
way west. If weather continues at
all favorable as it Is now. In the
course of two weeks we will have a
fair car supply."
