A GRATIFYING DECISION
T
HE DECISION of the Oregon
supreme court sustaining the
action of the Oregon Railroad
commission In ordering a re
duction of fares from 10 to 5 cents
between Portland and Milwaukle,
and from 15 to 10 cents between
Portland and Oak Qrove, will not
only be received with much satis
faction by the residents of those sub
urbs, but with general gratification
because it squarely and fully sustains
the action of the railroad commis
eion. It is another judicial declara
tion that the commission Is a potent
and useful factor in the service of
the people, that the law creating it
was wise and timely, and that rail
roads, Including interurban electric
roads, must submit to due regula
tion and control.
In this case it was shown that
Milwaukle and Oak Grove were dis
criminated against in the matter of
fares as compared with Linnton, and
the commission decided that this
was not only unjust bnt unlawful,
and ordered the fares reduced. The
railroad corporation, as was its prlvl-
Ipge" and 'right, appealed to the
fourt8, which have sustained the
commission, and now it must obey.
This result will be worth consider
able to a large namber of people tn
the matter of fares; it is still more
valuable to the body politic as an
example of railroad regulation.
