"From my observation and what I
bare learned," said he, "I doubt very
much IX this question in going to be
pressed very strongly in the Immediate
future. As a matter of fact I think
publlo opinion is growing stronger
against it all the time. It is perfectly
manifest that it Is not the question of
domestic tolls on American ships that
Is controlling Great Britain's',, action
because they are not affected by it in
any way. Therefore It Is gradually
dawning upon the American people
that Great Britain is actuated by some
other motive than simply tolls some
stronger motive even than railroad in
fluence, as it is apparent that neither
domestic tolls nor railroad Influence
controls Great Britain, then it must
be something of a very vital nature
which may affect the use of the canal

way than by tolls.

Salem, Oi., Feb. 14. Sweeping re
ductions In express charges In the
state , of Oregon will 'be effected by
the state railroad commission as a
result of the recent extended con
ference with the express companies in
Portland.
In addition to the modification of
the minimum charge from the inter
state' rates fixed by the interstate
(commerce commission, which has been
j gained by the western states gener
ally, uregon nas ooiainea a runner
modification and adjustment - of rates
to meet local commercial conditions,
particularly the rates affecting ship
ments between Portland and other
cities of. the state.
One important result will be that
all express companies operating In
Oregon will be treated in rate matters
as one express company, so there will
be a through rate hereafter between
any two points' in the state, without
regard to the number of lines that
handle the package. It Is hoped" that
the lowered rates may be put in effect
on March 1.
Is Second Seduction.
This is the second time the Oregon
commission has taken a whack at ex
press rates, for in 1909, as the result
of investigation into conditions at
that itime, large reduction was made
from the rates then in force. That
was before the interstate commission
had taken up the subject, and now
that ' the interstate body has waded
into the stream, the Oregon commis
sioners have gone a little deeper.
through the adjustments made at the
recent conference. These adjustments
will ; harmonize with the interstate
rates, but will at the same time work
decidedly to the advantage of Oregon
shippers.
There is greater reduction between
Portland and other western Oregon
points and the eastern par. of the
state, for instance, than there is be
tween points north and south. One
reason is the greater distance for
operation, another is that in the block
system laid out by the interstate
rcommerce commission ror the entire
country, the blocks in thls latitude
are longer north and south than, east
and west.
One of the Important things accom
plished at the recent conference was
the adjustment of the basing points
for the various blocks to the respect
ive commercial centers, so far as prac
tical. The interstate commerce com
mission :has ordinarily taken geo
graphical centers as the basing point
for the rates. This resulted In an
absurd situation in the block which
included Portland. The blocks do not
take state lines into account, and the
basing point selected for the Portland
block is understood to have been
,Yacolt, Wash., as that was near the
geographical center of the block.
Portland Becomes Base.
Through the showing made by the
Oregon commission Portland now be
comes the basing point for this block
for the rates in Oregon. Several other
modifications have been secured in the
matter of rate basing points, one of
the roost important, aside from Port
land, being the substitution of Elgin
for Enterprise In what is known as
block No. 408.
Tailing two extreme points in the
state, here is an illustration of the
benefit - derived from considering all
express lines as one, in connection
wtthl the lower rates to be put into
effect:

Head of Smelter Trust Says Govern
ment Should Operate Kailroada, Tele
phone and Telegraph X.lnes.
New York, Feb. 14. Daniel Guggen
heim in an exclusive Interview given
the International News Service today
declared the United States government
could successfully operate the rail
roads, telephones and telegraphs.
Mr. Guggenheim is "president of the
American Smelting & Refining compa
ny, American Smelters' Security com
pany, Guggenheim Exploration compa
ny, Yukou Gold company and a direc
tor in several other large enterprises.
"Judging from the apparent succe.s
the government has attained with the
parcel post," said Mr. Guggenheim, 'T
believe our government will succeed
In doing things in wnich foreign gov
ernments have failed.
"Ten years ago I did not believe the
United States government could suc

phones and telegraphs. I felt tlftU the
American people could do it better
than the government.
Realizing that the domestic market
not already touched by the product of
the northwest, Tis fairly well cared for
or else too far away to be reached
economically by rail, the league is
turning its first attention to the pos
sibility of marketing fruits abroad.
Something like 20,000 carloads f
fruit may be expected to be harrested
in the three states of Oregon, Wash
ington and I1 alio this year. By 192-).
when enormous acreages of orchards
' now planted but not yet in full bear
ing, come into full production, it is
estimated that the yield mill aggre
gate CO. 000 to 80.000. carloads.
Figures Beach X.arge Proportions.
To appreciate this enormous pro
duction, figures already compiled by
the league show that 10,000 carloada
would require 0 ships, each holding
3000 tonaof fruit.
"-If we can bring this 10.000 car
loads of fruit through Portland, it
would mean that these f0 ships would
have to come Into the Columbia river
to be loaded aiid font through the
Panama canal to the Atlantic sea
board." said a member of the Joint
committee last night. "If the big
European steamships, of the type soon

could draw to the coast 10,000 car
