THE SUXDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 19, 1922 13 w RATES III Oil E GON SOUGH IT Co-operative Growers to Start Campaign. INJUSTICE IS CHARGED Towns in Washington and Idaho Declared to Hold Important Advantage in Shipping. HERMISTON, Or., Feb. 18., (Spe cial.) The Oregon Co-operative Hay Growers are going to start a cam paign to lower Oregon freight rates, according to L A. Hunt, manager, in a statement made today. In the state ment Mr. Hunt contends that the rail roads assess an extra tariff on all things in Oregon as compared with Washington and Idaho. The state ment by Mr. Hunt continues:. "The rate on hay from North Pros ser. Wash to .Centralia, either over the mountains via Tacoma, 275.3 miles, or down the river, 343 miles. Is 20 cents, or 4.10 per ton. From Hermiston down the river, 281 miles, the rate is 4.80 per ton, and from Redmond, Or., a dlstanoe of 312 miles. It is 35 cents, or 7.10 per ton. Kennewick to Centralia is 296 miles and the rate i3 4.30; Walla to Port land 243 miles, rate per ton M-30; Hermiston to Portland, 190.5 miles, rate per ton $4.40. If Hermiston were a Washington town the rate -would be 13.60. "Benton City, Wash., to Spokane, 172 miles, rate J3.40; Sunnyside to Spokane, 221.3 miles, rate $3.90; Her miston, Or., to Spokane, 191.2 miles, rate $4.30. If- Hermiston were in Washington this rate -would also be 13.60. "Kennewick, Wash., to Knappa, Or., near ABtoria, Is about 300 miles. The rate Is 14.60. From Redmond, Or., only 25 mileg farther, the rate is 17.90. The strange part of this is that for 193 miles the cars are hauled over the same track. Washington Advantage Seen. "These figures are not exceptional There is positively not a single hay market in the northwest in which Washington shippers do not have an advantage of from 40 cents to $3 per ton, and the average upon bas's of mileage is not legs than 60 cents per ton for the hay actually marketed. "There are 50,000 tons of eastern Oregon hay baled each year and this means a loss to the growers of ?30, 000 each season. "If this discrimination only affected eastern Oregon hay growers the rest of the state might say it serves them right for going onto that Irrigated land. It would appear that the farm ers of western Oregon are taxed an average of $1.7 5 per ton for every ton of hay shipped by train and fed to dairy cows more than their neighbors in Washington have to pay who live an equal distance from market, no matter whether the hay is grown in eastern Oregon, Washington or in the Willamette valley. "As many illustrations can be found as there are Oregon and Wash ington towns, but it seems that these will suffice. The cheapest hay mar ket In the northwest is Portland and all sales of hay south of Aberdeen, Wash., are really based upon this market. Injustice Is Shown. "Oregon has three towns that are In every way as to mileage, seaports and railroad facilities almost identi cal with three Washington towns; Portland, Corvallis and Yaquina in Oregon, and Vancouver, Centralia and Aberdeen in Washington. In addi tion they are all hay markets. "The distance from Portland to Corvallla is 88 miles. From Portland and Corvallis dairymen must pay the Portland market price plus $2.60 to get hay. The distance from Vancou ver to Centralia is 78 miles; from Portland is 88 miles, and Centralia dairymen can buy hay laid down at his station for the Portland price plus no extra freight whatever, due to through routing of shipments. "The man at Yaquina, who lives 150 miles from Portland, must pay the Portland price plus $3.70 per ton, while his friend at Aberdeen pays only 60 cents per ton and lives 148 miles from Portland. "The rate to Tillamook, situated as Aberdeen is, is $3.20 per ton to haul 115 miles from Portland. Kalama is on another road 37.5 miles from Port land and the market price of hay here is exactly the same as Portland, while Banks, in Washington county, 34 miles trom Portland, must pay $1.50 per ton extra. "There is not a town in western Oregon that does not face this condi tion and if there is one In Washing ton that does not enjoy a proportional advantage the writer is not aware of it. "As if this were not enough the local mileage tariff for hay shipments is made in two separate divisions, one for western Washington, especially, and one for Oregon. The Oregon rate Rverage3 60 per cent higher than the Washington rate. This rate applies upon all shipping not covered by any particular tariff. We are told that no freight reductions can be made at this time, but there must be some way to equalize these. Oregon farm ers are entitled to a square deal." LICENSE HEARING WAITS Revocation of Ferryman's Permit Conies Up Next Tuesday. HOOD RIVER, Or., Feb. 18. (Spe cial.) The case of Frank Larson, summoned to appear before the coun ty court to show cause why his 11 cense for operating a ferry between here and Underwood, Wash., should not be revoked, set for yesterday, was postponed until next Tuesday. Larson is alleged by a complaint f.'led with the court by District At torney Baker to have used his ferry boat in transporting liquor illegally from the Washington shore. izatlon anxious to make the city of La Grande an offer to purchase the city ball property now used as a courthouse, the county has neglected to take steps to renew its lease and faces the possibility of being without a courthouse, no provisions having been made for one. The city allowed the county to use the building at $1 a year for 15 years and the county failing to make any provision whatsoever to provide a permanent home, a lease was given at $200 a month two years ago with an option to purchase for $30,000. This lease has now expired and the county does not want to pay added rent while the city is demanding a rental of $500 a month with an option to purchase witnin a year for $37, 5S0, the book value or. about half the assessed valuation of the prop erty. The sum of $300 a month would be refunded on the rent paid under the lease on completing negotiations to purchase, according to the city'a offer. HINGLEH'S SDN IS SOUGHT STATUTORY OFFENSE IS CHARGED IX 2 WARRANTS. Girl Is Reported to Be Expected to Become Jlother Affair Said to Have Followed Dance. It became known yesterday that the police were endeavoring to find Mal colm Ringler, 18-year-old son of M. M. Ringler, proprietor of the Broadway dance hall, in order to serve him with a warrant of arrest charging a statutory offense against a 15-year-old girl, the daughter of a Mount Scott family. The affair between young Ringler and the girl was said by the police to have begun when Ringler took her home one night from his father's dance hall. The girl, it was alleged, is expected to become a mother. Two warrants for Ringlet's arrest have been Issued and a complaint against the girl for delinquency has been filed. The first warrant against Ringler was filed in the court of do mestic relations charging him with being the father of an. illegitimate child. An unidentified man then ap peared at the juvenile court and filed a complaint against the girl for de linquency. When it became known by the women's protective division that the Juvenile court was about to take the girl into custody the case was laid before the district attorney and a warrant was consequently issued for Ringler, charging him with a statu tory offense. The first warrant against him had been held in abey ance pending negotiations to get Ringler to marry the girl. Ringler could not be -found in Port land when the police went to serve the second warrant and they believe that he has left the state. Reports in police circles that Mr. Ringler senior had offered to pay the girl's expenses in case the child should be placed in an orphan asylum were vigorously denied by him. "My son denies any improper rela tions with this girl," he said last ! night "Furthermore, two reputable I physicians who examined the girl j stated positively that she is not in i the condition claimed. The young! woman's parents have offered, if my son would marry this girl, to drop this matter. This offer was promptly refused and the statements that I offered to pay all of this girl's ex penses under any conditions what ever are absolutely untrue." BUS LINE IS fPie LINNTON-PORTLAND CHARTER PRACTICALLY ASSURED. Efficient Daily Service Includes Ample Safeguards for Comfort and Protection of Public. An ordinance granting a franchise to the Linnton Transit company, for the operation of busses between Linn ton and Portland, will be submitted to the city council next Thursday morn ing by Commissioner Mann. Inasmuch as the provisions of the franchise have been approved tenta tively by members of the council and meet with the wishes of the residents of Linnton. it is believed that the ordinance will be passed without op position. The franchise calls for the operation of busses carrying 14 persons. An annual franchise fee of $100 Is re quired and in addition the franchise calls for the payment of a license fee of $1 a seat the quarter. For the protection of the persons using the busses the franchise calls for damage Insurance of $1000 a bus, liability and personal injury of $5000 and general liability Insurance of $10,000. Hourly service must be maintained between Linnton and Portland be tween 6 A.-M. and 6:30 and from this time until 11 P. M. three round trips must be made.
