DISCRIMINATION IS APPARENT TO ALL Railroads in Position to Lower Inter ns! Rates After Long Hauls Across Continent, bat Cling to the Present Unfair Schedule. A comparison of distributive rata on rallroada from Missouri river terminals and Pacific coaat terminals for similar distances inland, plaoea the Pacific coaat roads on tha defenalve. If figures So not lie, they tell a story of Pacific coaat transportation charges 76 to 100 per cant higher than are the charge for the same service out of 8t Paul. Omaha and Kansas City. Man of extremely liberal views grant that the freight charges should he some what higher In Pacild coaat territory, where the population Is not so thick, than they are In territory surrounding tha Jobbing center of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Others who hold more moderate vlewa aa to the func tions of a railroad aay tha distributive rates should b practically the same, baaed on distance and haul. They aay tha Pacific coast consumer, after paying tha freightage for manufactured goods across tha oontlnent. Is entitled to ex ceptionally liberal treatment from the railroad company In the matter of dis tributing tha goods from the jobbing center to th local community. The man wh paya freight on a bath tub, a piano, a aet of dishes, or a mowing ma chine from tha eastern factory to Port land. Is getting a pretty dearly bought article after he adda the high freight rates to the cost of tha commodity. aVrtlreada Oould uwir Bates. Tha railroad system that has tha Ions haul la in a position to afford. If It would, a very low rata, for distributing the goods from jobbing point to the point of consumption, wher.au, tha fact la that Pacific coaat distributing rates An VBltlv hf.k.r In nfiiMrtln. 1 they are In the east where the distribut ing railroad has had no other slice of the business created by movement of thla tonnage. Is a general sense, therefore, the theory of freight carriage should favor th distributing end nf th business when the same railroad company handles It all, from factory to consumer. But comparison with th. tariffs of middle i.iruyry enow, inai ini region is I om inoolt lea ulai rlhti ted from to lAe weal seaua unity at, about half tha coat paid by the Pacific coast consumer. These! conclusions apply- not to any particular railroad, but with equal force to all roads terminating at Pacific tide water. The moat conspicuous examples of this condition of affairs are, of course, found on lines where there Is no water competition. On the O. R. ft N. railroad., between Portland and Biggs, the rates are as tow aa any one can aak, and even merchants say no lower rates could be made with profit by the railroad between these points. But when rates on commodities are com pared beyond theee points it is usually found that they are exceaalve. Take All They Can Oet- The Northern Pacific, the Southern Pacific, the Great Northern and the . R. A N. take practically the aame atti tude in the matter of rate making all the traffic will bear. The rate on sugar from Portland to Baker City, .156 mile., la 75 cent per hundred, while on the same commodity from Portland to Ash land, 141 miles, the Southern Pacific charges 81 H cents. The existence of a sugar factory at La Grande makes th Baker City rat lower. urn a hflv. hMn niRit. (if A I trlbutive rate for third, fodfth and fifth claaa freight on a mileage basis from Omaha west, and from Biggs east to a midway point. The haul from west to east is started at Biggs for compsrl son because wster competition east bound ends at Hlggs. and tha only fair comparison must be made outalde of the water transportation radius. The rates from Blgga to the midway point average 14 per cent higher than from Omaha west to tha midway point. Tha rataa from Blgga across the state to Huntington average 46 per cent higher than for a similar distance west from Umana. ud community rates me com -J purl. on for the same mileage shows alf) average 45 per cent higher from Biggs than from Omaha to the midway point; ale 45 per cent higher eaatbound from Blgga across the state of Oregon than from Omaha weat tne aame distance: Oregon Consumer Bag to Pay. These differentials In favor of the east ern consumer exist in s carrying trade that le exclusively the Union Pacific system's business. That road, however, baa a more vital Interest in handling the Pacific coast mane tonnage than It has in the Nebraska end of the husine. In th esse of the Oregon consumer, the railroad company geta a very much larger revenue, for the road must carry the tonnage, aorosa the continent before distributing It to the Individual. tn other words, the Nebraska consumer psys but e tithe of revenue to the Inlon oas setts jgp Native 5K Herbs 5J aWSBBfBBWgajBJBJBSBBfB 1 Beet for All Digestive Kidney trouble..

I Pacific for delivery of goods out of Omaha, while, the Oregon consumer paya for a haul of 1,80$ miles before the rail road lines of Oregon begin to distribute the goods. Following the theory of business that tha best customer Is en titled to the loweet rates, the distribu tive rates on eastern merchandise In Oregbn should be at leaet no higher than are charged for similar distances In ths company's eastern territory. The eame conclusions apply to the Northern Pa cific the Southern Pacific, and th Great Northern railroads. Ths railroad owners do not look at- the question from this standpoint. Their view Is taken from a Wall street quarter, and evident ly their conclusions are in effect that th further away the customer is lo cated, the leas chance he has to register a kick at headquarters. Water Competition Good. Th Immense benefits to both pro ducer and conaumer arising from water competition In transportation are strik ingly Illustrated by tne union Facmo system at Its extreme terminals. For example, the rate per 100 pounds on flrst-claaa freight from Council Bluffs to Benton, Nebraaka, 17 miles, le IS cents. From Portland to The Dalles, 17 miles. It is II cents A proportionate difference exists In the eeeend, third, fourth and fifth-class rates, and a leee proportion In ear lots. The average difference In favor of the Portland haul, with water competition. Is 10 per cent This Is the only section of the Union Pacific system where th differential la not tn favor of the road's eastern ter ritory. From Council Bluffa to Lexing ton, Nebraaka, 114 miles, the first-class rate Is 71 cents, while from Portland to Pendleton. n miles, the flret-class rate le $1.10. From Council Bluffa to Her ehey, Nebraska. 100 miles, the first-class rate ta 80 cents, while from Portland to La Grande, 806 miles, the rste le 8188. Still more conclusive proof of the In justice of high distributive ratee In Pa cific coast territory Is seen In the "feet that the existing differential decreases aa tha midway point is approached, al though to the last it la considerably againat the western section. The flret claaa rate from Portland to Kammer mer, 806 miles, is $1.(6. while from Omaha to Spring Valley, 808 miles. It le $2 30. The ratio of decrease is th' verse to the need from s Pacific coaat viewpoint. The distributive rates should be the loweet In the Oregon and Idaho country where distributing facilities are required from a Pacific coaat seaport. ALL-RAIL LINE TO BEACHPOIHTS Harriman Interests Will Soon Have One to llwaco, Via tha North Bank. CELEBRATION OF SIKKOTH HELD AT TABERNACLES In celebration of Sikkoth. or the feeet of the tabernacles, the congregations of temple Ahavl Sholom and Beth ta red gathered at 8:80 o'clock this morn ing and were addressed by their rabble. It. AbrahfUHSon and Stephen B. Wise. Sikkoth Is the harvest festival and la designed to commemorate tha dwelling In boot ha of the children of Isrsel during their sojourn In the wilderness after the departure from Egypt. The festival lasts for eight days, bid only the first two and ths laat two days are regarded as holy daye. Shemlnl Aee reth will be observed Wednesday and Thursday, October 10 end 11, these be ing the Is.t of the Jewish holidays ror taa axeeeot jhi, With the eonetruetlon of the Harri man rallroada from Portland to the sound, the big syndicate will also secure an all-rail line to llwaco. via the north bank. The beach line will leave the main line at Kelan, and follow the north bank, crossing Gray's bay on a trestle. The proposed deep water connection for the steamer Potter at Knappton may be eliminated, ea there would be no neces sity for operating a boat line to the beaches after the railroad la built. Wherever rights of way are to be secured at reasonabls coat the beach line will stay eloee to the north bank of the Columbia, and connect with tHe present line at llwaco. From Frank fort It will probably be eventually con tinued northward along the coaat to Shoal water bay and Gray's harbor, tap ping the Waahlngton coaat territory now exclusively served by the Northern Pacific. Northern Pacific plans for beach com petition have not yet taken definite form, but It la certain that the Hill lines will project branches to the sea store end undertake to give the quickest rervloe between Portland and the sum mer resorts there. The competition that will follow completion of the Hill and Harriman roads will be very accept able to Portland people, end Will guar antee better service than ha. been given In the past. Portland needs fast and comfortable tralna between this city snd the beaches, snd If given such serv ice the patronage at the beaches would be doubled. It Is said there Is no probability that the Aetorla A Columbia railroad will fall Into the handa of the Northern Pa cific nor the Harriman Interests. Ths A. A C road ta said to have a tracksge lease for so long a term of years that It Is prsctlcslly Independent and will be able to operate on s profitable basis over the Northern Pacific tracks from Portland to Goble much longer than the natural life period of the preaent own er. The A. A C. le In no danger of Inter ference by the Hill Interests. When the new north bank line and Portland ter minals ere finished, and the ICalama fer ry la abandoned, the Northern Pacific wlU'havo practically no further uae for the 40 miles of track from Portland to Goble, on the south bank, and It will be used almost exclusively by th A. a C. train. swBaMsSs I - USB- mm- 3YflELNftm?fCKN Opening Dane.
