THE. OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PPRTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY -29, 1911 FOR EIRST TIME S: P. CITIES GET MB MS Commission's Order, Just Up held by U. S. Court, Equal- izes Unreasonable Class ; Tariffs. As result of the decision of United State Judges Gilbert, Wolverton and Bean Bitting ca banc that It U unnec essary for the United States to enjoin the railroad commission from placing In ff ect new schedule of rates from Portland to points on the Southern Pa cific in Oregon, the cities on that line re enjoying reasonable railroad rates for the first time In their history. A new tariff, compiled after and based upon the changes arranged by the commission In Its order of September El, 1910, Is being prepared by the traf fic department of the Southern Pacific and will be Issued to agents one week from today. In the meanwhile all ship pers who have paid or who pay the rail road charges on freight to the points affected by the order since October 13. , last and who retained their bills of lading can collect from the railroad company the rebate due them. A bond of 150.000 was furnished by the rail-, road compapy to insure the payment of these rebates should the court not sus tain their contention that a permanent Injunction was necessary, Bebates Apply from October 13. At a conference heldyesTerday after noon between C B. Altchison, of the ' commission, and representatives of tho traffic and legal department of the Southern Pacific company. It was agreed that the company would be allowed one week in which to get out the new tar- lffi, one day not being considered time enough In fairness to the railroads. Therefore the new tariffs will be pub lished one week from today but rebates can be collected not only for shipments from October 13 to the present but on shipments made this week under the old tariffs. While the decision of the court gives ' the people of the entire western Oregon country freight rates that will material ly cheapen many commodities in every day use, it has the broader effect of . assuring the railroad oommtsslon au thority over Interstate rates, thus ren- ; dertng completely Ineffectual conspiracy of the railroads to prevent the state : commissions from regulating state. rates on the ground that such regulation was ad interference with interstate rates, of which the state rates were a part Referring to thlsf result of the opinion Joseph . N. Teal, the attorney for the railroad commission In this and other actions to secure equitable rate for Oregon, said yesterday; v Beal Virtue of the Deolsion. "The greatest : value of the decision does not lie in the reduction of the ......... 1. . . . 1 . L - I A. iM .1 . I lawn, uuv iu iue eeiuemcui vue prm- - ctple, so far as this circuit is concerned. that the state Is supreme when acting , within Its , constitutional limits; that courts win. not Interfere wlh administra te tribunals when acting within their jurisdiction. It appears from the reo rds and reports that In every state. substantially every order made by a ' state commission is contested. When regulation is accepted in good faith, much of the friction caused by these continual contests will disappear, and the situation will be very much better . all i round. "the reduction made by the commls- ; elon is reasonable and owing to the peculiar classification In use on this road, it most affects commodities in dally use, such as groceries, hardware, etc. The reduction extends as far "south as Ashland. Hereafter the same classification will be in effect on this . as on other roads in the northwest I am advised the tariff will be placed In effect as soon as possible. All ship ments made slnca the effective date of the order, October 13, 1910, take the reduced rates and the difference be- tween the old and the new rates will v be payable to the shippers," o.-W. Bv, k IT, Decision Similar. The decision from every point of view, , Is regarded at extremely Important and one that will result in wide benefit to " ell consumers In the Willamette, Ump- qua and Rogue river valleys. It is in teresting to note that it is the first one of the kind made under the new ' procedure of the United States courts - when a hearing is to be had upon rail road rate matters that is, that three Judges shall hear and decide the case In point Judge Wolverton, however, v had recently decided a similar case brought by the railroad to prevent the commission lowering distributive rates from Portland to points on the O.-W. R.i & N., in which he delivered tin opinion favorable to the commission that was notable for the careful reasoning and J logic shown and the deep study of the - rate situation, Another Important aftermath of the "'. decision la that It t a further evidence of the Justice and conservatlveness ol the orders that have been made by the Oregon state railroad commission since Us creation. The commission, tnrougn Mr, Teal, has had three casea before the state supreme court and two before the - United States courts, all of which have been won by the commission, the oourts In every instance affirming the right of .. ine commission ana uie equuy ui iu border. This is regarded as excellent evidence that the commission has acted LS-reasonably and with due regard Cor all Interests concerned those of the rail roads as well as those or tne snippers. What the Decision Covers. - The order sustained in Friday's opin ion consists largely of a realignment of class rates In effect on the Southern . Paclflo line In Oregon. These rates , differed from those of any other lino i In the country and the relation of the ; lowr classes to the first class was of ' an uncertain, hlt-or-mlsB nature and made no attempt to follow the natural relation each class bears to the other .classes aa recognized by all other rail roads. In other words, goods shipped under; the fourth and fifth classlftoa- turns generally carried a rate that was unreasonably high in proportion to the first class rate. The order- straightens out this unreasonable relation of the va ' rious classes, tho first class ' In com paratjvely few Instances, having beon 'changed. - - .

Mr, McCourt has been busy all ths past week getting abstracts of title to the property. It is said, the abstracts show that the title Is unusually good in all cases, which will mean that com paratively few defendants will be named in the proceedings to fix a fair valuation upon the land.

People 10 Per Cent of Fund to Be Intro duced. ;r ; Annuities for retired teachers in the public schools are proposed in a bll to be introduced In the legislature with in a day or two by Representative Ab bott of Multnomah. It provides a plan under which the teachers of Portland are prepared to organize if the bill. is passed. It Is drawn to apply only to Multnomah county. , - I The bill authorizes the establishment of a retirement fund association by the teachers themselves under the super vision of the board of directors of the school district When certain condi tion arc complied with a meeting of teachers will be called to select trus tees to execute and file articles of In corporation not to become effective un til a majority of the teachers have signed the list- The chief revenue for the annuity fund is to come from the contributions of teachers at the rata of 31 per month for the first 10 years, 32 per month for the second 10 and 33 per month for the third 10 years. To this It is pro posed shall be added a sum equal to 1 per cent of the amount of tax received by the school district as Its portion Of the tax levied for school purposes by the county court Under this plan the public -rould contribute only about 10 per cent of the total fund, the rest coming from the teachers. It is figured that tne permanent 'fund would be accumulated In six years large enough to begin the payment of annuities. ' The plan contemplates the payment of 3333 to retired teachers after 20 years of service, Increasing by a graduated scale at the rate of about 316 per year until a maximum of 3600 Is reached at the thirtieth year. A mortuary benefit of one half the sum paid in by a mem ber is proposed and those who resign or are dropped from the rolls wlu be credited with a portion of the money they may have paid in In the form of a refund. The management of the fund will be placed in the hands of a board com posed of two members of the school board and three from the teachers' asso ciation. All of these details are not contained in tho law, but are part of the plan worked out under which the as sociation will be incorporated if the law is .passed. Friends of tne plan point out that 18 states have adopted some form of an nuities for teachers, as well as many cities. Salaries are not large enough to enable teachers to put aside much for the day of retirement, and it Is argued that no class of public servants are more faithful and deserving of consid eration than are teachers who have served 30 years. For the protection of the fund annuitants are required to have taught for 80 years, 10 years at least in Portland, and must have contributed 3600 before the? will be entitled to benefit from IV C. A.

Mrs. Goodrich further said she was entirely ignorant that her daughter was to be married. Captain Weeden Instructed Purser Charles Warren to send tha mother of the bride a certified copy of the log of the vessel showing that the marriage of her daughter was legally performed in accordance with maritime law, which gives the captain of a ship the right to perform a marriage on the high seas. "Wlnkelbach told me that he and his bride desired to be married at sea for the novelty of it," said Captain Weeden. "I questioned him closely as to their qualifications to enter into a marriage contract and he answered my questions fully, and. as-1 thought, honestly. Ho said he was a contractor.
