On the eastern railroads with whrci-4hycom- parlsons were made the merchandise tonnage comprises fully SO per cent of . the aggregate freight business, and therefore we claim, the rates here are . not comparatively high. .', " ? ;' .-' '-...'. On Branch Uses, '-is' - Freight rates on branch lines are made ; with reference to the competition that may exist between branch - terminals. For example, the freight-rate per ton mile between Portland and Heppner 'and that between Portland and' Baker City are nearly the same, while- there Is a material difference In the distance. The reaaon Is that these two cities ere competitive trading points .and the ; freight rate applying -to both must be about the same to give each an equal chance for the' trade of ' the tributary country. The rates at Bhantko and the rates at Condon are Adjusted on a simi lar principle. . Naturally freight .rates on branch lines must ..be higher than maln Una rates. It costs more per mile 'to carry freight on a branch line. No ; matter what the dlctanee, the train must s mjke its trip and there must be a train i crew and operating expenses every day - for a abort ' run ' the aame as for the long run on the main line. - . The branch line is. usually projected Into newt territory, where 'the tonnage ,1s thin, and the country fmist.be de veloped.. The branch line is built on 'the 'principle -that It must be self-supporting, and Its traffic is expected to make It pay expenses Independently of what the .main line is doing. These are some ef the reaaons for apparent discrepancies In freight , ratea. and they should be ' considered In - any . fair comparlaons made." - . ,.'".
