(Salem Boraati of The JToaraal.) . Salem, Or June JS-Argument In tha case of GK B. . Burdlck rm. tha Ore gon Railway it , Navigation. company, tha Southern Paclflo and tha Northern Paclflo was submitted before the rail way commissioners yesterday. The ob ject of this case is to compel the rail roads to revise their contracts for shlp- &lng livestock so that the shipper will a protected in some measure against It was contended by Charles Mo Nary, attorney for the ; complainant, that the shlnrjAP . in tiaw wimtiftl 11 to sign away almost-everything, even 1 to the -property in tha livestock, merely for a consideration of a reduoed rate that la in soma instances very doubt- iuuy a reauoea rate at all. The value placed on livestock by tha railroads also is regarded as too small. The contracts offered the shipper by the Northern Paclflo are much more generous than those of the Southern Pacific and the Oregon Railway & Navigation company. Only two sec tions in the contract of the Northern Paclflo are thought to be unreasonable and against public policy. , , tToreasonablo and Ssnsalaas. However, the contracts Imposed by the Harrlman lines-were viewed as un reasonable and In - many Instances senseless by the attorneys for Burdlck and a test casa Is to be made, In the effort to compel the railroads to revise the contracts so that thev will come within the bounds of common sense and law. It was argued that the contracts are filled with verbiage and the shipper seldom if ever has time to read them. If he should read the fine printed mat ter of his contract he would see that he had practically signed away every vestige of a right that - he might reasonably expect atlU to retain. These contracts are not regarded as binding upon tha shipper even by the members of the railroad commission. The object seems to be, as was pointed out by Attorney McNary, merely to fool the shipper into the belief that he cannot bring suit against the com pany for the recovery of damages if his stock should escape or become lost while In transit. For Instance, the contracts of the Oregon Railway & Navigation company and the Southern Pacific provide that the shipper must Inspect the car .bo fore it is loaded to see If there are any defects. Then should his stock be In jured or escape the company is not liable for the value of the stock. Another alleged unreasonable provis ion of the contract which is regarded by the attorneys as null-and should be corrected, relates to when the stock are unloaded Into yards provided for the stock by the -railroad. The con tract provides that the shipper or the person who goes along to care for tho stock as the agent of the shipper, must Inspect the corral and If It is not In good order he must order the company to repair it; Of. course the stock must be put In the yard, no matter what is this condition, and if animals escape or are injured the com- fiany is again absolved from any lability. These things and many more are to be corrected. The railroad commission has taken up this matter along with a number of others and now that the election is over and things generally have quieted down it Is hoped some progress will be made. The railroads are resisting many of these steps but the commission Is' confident of final victory In nearly every case. Will Wot Save Kim.
