If It la not proper to grant freisht rebates to the public, why should It be proper. to grant them to the. gov ernment or to contractors or govern ment work, la a question which U Is be lieved will present. Itself . to the presi dent with soma pertinency. : ..The legal head of the admlnlstrarlon, Attorney-General Mootfy, In his opinion sustaining the action of the secretary of the Interior in accepting; r'batesliaq this to say: ; . - gather from the papers placed in my . hands that most If not all of the railroad companies whose lines reach these arid regions, realize that they will be among the -chief benefloiarlea of the reclamation project, and therefore de siring to promote Its consumatlon, have signified to the officers pf the gov- ernment their willingness te transport-! the. machinery- and material used In the construction' of the- trrtgatlon gystenr at one half of their regular rates. In order that much more of tne amount appro priated by congress might be spent In the -work ,of reclamation proper. Asidi from the legal questions presented. It Is evident that such an arrangement ment and the ra 11 roads, and a disadvan lage to none These reduced rates, you Infnmi m are advertised to sll cros- pectlve blddera.upoa work, "and - nuu. terlal. the theory being that their bids will be -lower by an amount equal to thajeductlon In freight rates, and that In that way llieTeducthm f freights wilt Inure to the benent or tne unuea States. The principles governing thji case are flear and simple. - "It Is " perf ectly plain, X think, that the intention of section 22 of the act to regulate commerce wa to give express sanction to. any arrangements between the United Stales, state or municipal ayrnmejujodjallroadcpmj)a which these governments might relieve themselves of the -coat tf transporta tion In whatever form It might assume, and the section should be construed to alve effect to that Intention. It Is, States at the time or ahlpment, or whether It has subaequenlly beeoma the property of the United States In the par ticular shape Urwh'lch.-it i shipped. It Is sufficient that It entered Into the construction - of a publlfr-work-of-the United State and that the. .cost of. the transportatlonwas apart of -the-Tlnal cott of that work to the United Statea. fThe issue, - then narrows down ,to this: Does the United States, In point of fact, receive In the end the whole of the concession In -freights granted under the-eon tracts J lt-ennot, of course, be stated In ad vance. as a nremrmntlon of fact coverLaa all cases which may arise under this arrangement, that tne United States will receive the whole concession and the contractor-none, for that would be to presume - not only that- tha eon- tractor s bid will be less than it would have, been If he had had to pay the pub lished -ratea, but that It will be less by an-emouni- equal to tne freight .reduc tion allowed him.- On the other hand. however, it certainly cannot be pre sumed that under no circumstances will the United States receive the whole con cession, that is to say, that In no case will the contractor make full allowance In his bid for the reduced freight ratea. The strong' probability is that ha will hornfavenrgny... advantage from that source In the hands -of his -competitors. In other words, then, -Whether or not the United States receive the whole-of the concession -and the contractor none Is a question of fact which must be de cided In each cae especially, as the answer may differ in different cases. My conclusion "upon the question you propound, thcroforey-ts this. That In thoaaeaM where-the-fact-ls that the United States receive me whole or tne concession and the contractor none. then nelth-Ua-plrU nor the -Uttc-of the act to regulate commerce has been violated r but that In thoaa canes. If any, where there ts not the fact, the opera tion-f 4he-agreementa-whlch hare-toeenj drawn In question would result in tne violation of section of thu act. Being a matter of fact, and on that If it shall ever properly arise, ltjmist arise In the administration of your department, your determination . of the queatlon wilt be binding so far aa the executive branch of the government. Is concerned. . SALEM AND ROSEBURG TEAMS WILL. DEBATE " ' Rpeelal Mareteh to the Journal) ' Salem, Or., May 12.
