10 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL ' PORTLAND iweun&suax 'evismwu, rritWAKY 8, 1911.. I' i. www THEIR F FOR 1 0 CENT RATE Albany Association's Lawyer i is. Handling suit out inter vener is Asked on Behalf of 60 Merchants: Willamette valley merchant found themselves in a, tangle of freight rates, differentials, arbdtrarles, through rates ' and-' joint through rates before Examin er Jrouty of the Interstate Commerce rommlslon this morning. The occasion was the hearing of the case of the Ore gon railroad commission against the Southern Pacific and. other roade to compel' the restoration of the 10 cent arbitrary on transcontinental snlpments to points in the Willamette valley be tween Portland and Albany and Cor alll Although the suit Is brought In the name of the state railroad cornmislon U in being tried by: H. H. Hewitt, who is chairman of a' merchants' traffic as sociation at Albany. No sooner had' it opened than Edward fM. Cousin asked leave to intervene, mating he repre- sented about 60 merchants in Wiam ; ette valley towns not represented by Mr. Hewitt. While, the original com plaint, merely asks' that the present lo-al rates from Portland to the Wil lamette valley towns included in the suit tnat are now added to the through rate from the east be abolished and that the old 10 cent arbitrary be es tablished in their stead, Mr. Cousin's petition asked the commission to find the b mount of damages sustained by his clients from' the advance of rates complained of and award them repara tion for this damage. Examiner , Prouty ruled that while Mr. Cousin could intervene' on behalf of his merchants if he wished, , that Inasmuch as the original complaint makes no mention of reparation or dam ages, his petition should be denied in that respect. He was informed he cau id remain and examine witnesses if ho wished, however. - Would Shut Oat Portland. -J. 1ST, Teal, representing the wholesale and manufacturing Interests of Port land, was present at the hearing but took if part in. It further than to bring out the point that a restoration of the ,10 cent arbitrary desired by the valley merchants would enable eastern manu facturers and Jebbera to ship Into" the valley at much better rates than Port land and would result, practically, in shutting Portland shippers out of this territory.- " The! so called 10 cent arbitrary was established in 1891. Under it commodi ties shipped from the east -to points on the Southern Pacific to 80 miles south of Portland would take the rate from the originating point to Portland and pay a 10 cent additional rate to the Willamette valley destination. Portland Jobbers not only had to pay the trans continental fate to Portland but also Me local", rate from Portland to the Willamette valley -t towns, which acted. practically as a protective tariff for eastern manufacturers and whole salers. The' railroads recognized it as an unjust discrimination against Portland and it was abolished, as Traffic Mana ger R. D. Miller of the Harriman lines In Oregon and Washington testified to day, because it was "discrimination be tween localities, discrimination between traffic, entirely too low, and was not Justified by' existing conditions." Mr. Miller, was on the stand all morn ing. An effort was made by Mr. Hewitt to prove that the Southern Pacific line in Oregon since the combination of the Harriman lines has been merely a branch insofar as transcontinental business is concerned, and that the rail road uses Its Influence to route trans continental traffic over the the Oregon Washington Railroad & Navigation com pany and via Ogden Instead of via the Sacramento gateway. Xionger Xoute, Bigger Kate. Mr. Miller did not deny that freight for the lower Willamette valley is usu ally routed via the Oregon Short Line and the O.-W. R. & N.. and that the rate from Missouri river , territory to Portland via the Ogden gateway is 28 cents lower, first class,, than to Salem via the Sacramento gateway. But he showed why this was so. The distance from Omaha to Portland via 8acramento Is i!342 miles, while from Omaha to Portland via Ogden Is 1799 miles a dif ference of 643 miles. In other words, naid Mr. Miller, the Jong route docs nto attempt to meet the rate of the shorter route. ; Mr. Miller, said he considered the 1 fl uent arbitrary as originally in effect on NO miles of road was a mistake and should have been taken out long before it was. "It was simply a case where no one had the nerve to remove it." said Mr. Miller. It iwas not Justified by any of the conditions surrounding the traffic." Water Constantly worse roe. In response to a question from th amlner, Mr. Miller said water traffic Is Riving the transcontinental lines more and more competition each year in coast to coant business. The establishment of the new route across Panama, new lines of water carriers entering the field continually, and the ability of the water lines to maintain cheaper rates from At lantic to Pacific ports than the rail "iiH-H. combined to make competition cctjooJ, tha gm tmd mncdr will cure Rh.o aaatiam.

Mask, president of the Civic coun cil, returned to Portland yesterday aft er several days vainly spent In the cap ital trying to get members of the leg islature to introduce the bill, which was Indorsed by the Civic council, a citizens' committee and one member of the school board. Mr. Haak contends that the school directors In a meeting recently held approved the present measure, which Is a compromise between citizens and school directors, and that they are not keeping faith with this agreement. "We yielded nearly, every point of school administration that we originally Insisted upon," said Mr. Haak. "We accepted the suggestions of the School Doard., We wiped out the provision for & school board of 12 members, for an nual elections to he held at the same time and place as city elections, for se lection of plans and specifications of new school buildings by competitive methods, that civil service rules apply to teachers .and that the' grand jury be given ample power to expert the ao counts of public officers. In accord with the desire of the school board we provldedfor the abolishing of the far cical taxpayers' meeting and made no mention of the Issuance of a budget of needs for the Softool district, to be pub lished at least Two weeks before the annual tax levy lrade. "But when I went before the legis lature I found that insidious opposi tion had preceded me. One senator gave me to understand it would be po litical sulcldo for him to Bupport the measure though he believed In It. Oth ers told the same story." Directors Campbell and Flelschner said yesterday that they maintained their opposition to the model bill be cause they believed It gave the sup erintendent too much power. Mrs. Slt ton said there were portions she did not approve and hence could not ap prove the whole. J. V. Beach, the only member of the school board who ap proved the measure, said he had done so, not because he was in sympathy with all lis provisions; but because he thought It was a proposition or give and take, and there waa need for more business-like system. Harrison G. Piatt and Professor W. T. Foster, members of the citizens' committee, Indorsed the view that the superintendent of schools should have broader autborlty. "The school board now makes the superintendent a "by-your-leave' sort of fellow, an underling waiting on the word of the board for liberty to perform his duties." said Mr. Piatt. "We should look to the superintendent rather than to the board for the correct conducting of our schools. The board meets Infrequently, knows little, practically, about school J administration, and mokes a serious mistake In taking to itself all power and authority, or in seeking to hold It "hew." ... keen. It was the influence of water competition, he said, that resulted In the lower terminal rate to Portland than to Willamette valley points and It was wa ter competitive conditions that resulted in the extension of this rate to Seattle. Tacoma and certain Grays Harbor points. He said that such other lines as the Great Northern, NortNem Pacific, Denver & Rio Grande and, to a limited extent, the Milwaukee, all competed with the Harriman lines for Willamette val ley business, having the same trans continental rate to Portland and paying the local over the Southern Pacific, He testified that the Southern Pacific now gets 40 per oent of a rate from Missouri river territory, where it re ceived 30 per cent as its proportion prior to 1801.

Reduced class rates from Portland to points south, In Oregon on tfof Southern Pacific, as ordered by the state railroad commission October 20, 1910, became effective today. They mean a reduction oi fcpproxlmately 20 per cent. The railroad company fought the com mission's decision In every legal way, but failed to secure a reversal of the commission's ruling. The Southern Pacific oompanyvflled a bond when it secured an order' from the court restraining the decision of the commission from becoming effective at the time the order for reduction was made, and shippers who since that time have paid full rate will be refunded the excess upon presentation of their claims. The total amount of these claims Kas not yet been estimated by the railroad company. TAZWELL PUTS CHECK ON A MENTAL HEALER Dr. Joseph Jefferson, a mental healer, was Jn police court this morning to aiiBwer to the complaint of advertising to give advice on business affairs through psychic trances. Making weird gestures, spasmodically running his thin long white fingers through his hair, the "doctor" pleaded with Judge Taswell to dismiss the case, declaring that if he did so he would cease advertising his profession. He started several times to give a lenethy analysis of his business and to explain his powers, but each time Judge Tazwell shut him off. Finally, as if he had fallen under the mystic power, Judge Tazwell ruled that jsentence would be suspended If Jefferson would conduct himself properly in future.

' , (Special ptapatcb to Tht Journal.) ' Salem, Or., Feb. 8. Governor West's proposal to exchange abouf 48,000 acres of scattering state lands In the national forests in Oregon for a compact tract to beselected within the Cascade nap tional forest to be established as a State forest has met with the highest ap proval of H. S. Graves of the govern ment forestry service, j who has sent a communication on the subject to s Gov ernor West. The forestry service de sires to know what Is the approximate vRlue of the slate lands which it is proposed to exchange to the government, ftio In order to make the exchange spe cial legislation will have to be enacted b' congress, which can hardly be ac complished at this session owing to the proximity of the day of adjournment Mr. Graves says he read the portion of Governor West's message relating to this subject with great interest, and says further: 1 "The friendliness you express for the forest reserve system' will, I am con fident, materially promote its advance ment and acceptance by the people as a permanent policy of both state and nation. In Aocord With Seasons. "I am quite In aocord with your rea sons for desiring to establish the state forest you propose and most heartily agtee with your views as to the results to be achieved by its creation. "So far ns I can render any service which can be consistently given I will be very glad to cooperate in advancing your purpose. 1 "Preliminary to deoldlng on any prop osition of exchange, such as Is proposed, Sid securing legislation to effectuate it, it would be Important, of course, to tho forest service to know somewhat of the character and value of the lands offered by the state, and approximately at least, the particular area of land within the Cascade national forest, which the state of Oregon desires for use as a forist. With this view I have sent to the dis trict forester 6t Portland, Or., the list you enclosed of 'base lands available for Indemnity selections,' which lands are proposed for the exchange, with a re quest that he submit a report to me concerning them at the earliest practic able moment. It would facilitate, of course, consideration of the question of the exchange and its advisability, so far as the national forest service and Its economical administration Is concerned. If you could designate even tentatively the compact body sought by the state within the Cascade national forest Borne Delay Expected. "It seems hardly possible that con gress could at this session, in view of me snort time remaining before ad journment, enact the required legisla tion authorizing the department of agri culture to make an exchange, should an exchange be agreed upon. Some delay also is to be expected in 'securing an early report from the district forester on th list of lands submitted to you, in view of this season of year rendering field examinations, if necessary, some what slow and difficult As soon, how ever, as the district forester's report Is received, which will be accompanied un doubtedly with suggestions requiring consideration, I shall be very glad to discuss the entire subject of the ex change with Senator Chamberlain of your state."
