how every man in the gang had been

FIIIIIIV JOKES III
L CONTRACTS
Eailroad Commission Ana
lyzing, These Humor- -ous
Documents.
(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.
