the rate on lumber- from the
large - manufacturing points in
the Pacific northwest east. have
been decided, as was foreshadowed
recently In The JournaJ, in favor of
the lumbermen by the Interstate
commerce, commission. In Novem
ber, ; 1 9 0 7, ? the - railroads , advanced
.t the rates 91 per 1,000 pounds, thus
putting a heavy handicap" upon the
lumber Industry; of all this region,
and in fact in a large degree paralyz
"? Ing it, for the lumbermen contended
that they could hot pay the advanced
rates and make any profit. Ap
peals were made to the railroad of
ficials, but they , stubbornly, adhered
to, the raised rates, and '.when en
Joined from putting them Into ef
fect ref used , to accept shipments " at
the old rates, which had been In'ef-
feet for many years." ; - " ". ' ' 1
jrs The lumbermen then united in
taking the matter before the inter-:
etate commerce commission, which
r under the new law has power tovre
c: duceand ill Interstate rates. . The
case, was argued a few months ago
at Washihgton before the full com
mission, J, N. Teal of this city being
tne leaaing attorney for the lumber-
men. : The ); decision is a complete
victory : for them, Insofar i as v the
rates- from thls j reglgn; to Mtssoarjl
river points, are concerned, and the
attempted advance in rates made by
' the rallroadsls-entirely,; annufled,
and the format rates, rektoced. ' The
railroads under the law can appeal
the case to the , United " States su
preme , court, hut it Is not .believed
that they yill do so, as there is small
rnance or a reversal of this decision
It Is hoped that-itberailrosds will
, acquiesce in the decision, and that
a renewal or tne large traffic thus

greatly revive the lumber Industry
,i In this section of the country, would
, create an increased demand for labor
and would be of , great ; benefit to

lumbermen are to be congratulated
on the successful , stand they made
against an unjust raise of rates and
much credit is due to Mr, Teal, who
conducted the case with untiring in

There Is serious business ahead for

They know that a machine organisa

means a deadlock on senator, the pros
titution of the legislature to political
ends, and raids upon the taxpayer.
For once let the legislature be or

THE OREGONIAN Is an old and

country outside of Oregon. - News

how completely, in. some cases, the
Oregonian Is out of sympathy and
touch with public sentiment, and
how it misrepresents ; the popular

his famous announcement that tu
berculosis ; is f not ; communicated to
human beings through the medium
of milk. The announcement from so
high an authority seemed to obviate
the' necessity of. slaughtering valu
able animals and the abandonment
of the policy came about as a mat
ter of course.
The authorities are still confused
and confusing on the subject ot the
relation between tuberculosis in men
and animals. That is the more rea
son rather than no reason for an in
telligent and firm surveillance of the
situation. Eminent authority Is; at
variance with Dr. Koch and speaking
after much more recent investigation
insists, that -milk contaminated by
germs the t float as dust in the air

d Isease. , Whatever may be the fact
In this respect, and whatever may
be the situation with respect to the
number of affected animals, it is
axiomatic that precautionary meas
ures can do no harm and may be of
much benefit. It is a subject thor
oughly deserving of attention.
It is a field In which ignorance of
the'facts might have lamentable con
sequences. ; Oregon may be as free,
probably is as free as any other
state of -infected herds, but she
ought to be freer than all. It is a
field . in which the aim cannot be
set too high. No owner of -diseased
animals desires to perpetuate them
a.nd place his family In the possible
peril that may be incident thereto,
Careful attention by the authorities
to the situation Is desirable.
