Gila & Co., of Salem, against the Southern Pacific. The railroad alleges present acjust ment results in rates unreasonably low, contending; for a full local on the back haul. The commission says that if arbitrartes heretofore prescribed in this caee were made effective, the rates to Woodburn, on many commod Hies now higher than to Spokane and Reno -would be reduced to tha same level as to those cities. It finds that railroads have justified existing rates to the Willamette valley and declines to disturb them. The case decided by the Inter state Commerce commission is the celebrated H. S. Gile case, wherein the Gile company of Salem sought to restore to the Willamette valley the rate adjustment formerly in force on transcontinental less-than-carload bus iness. At one time the . transconti nental lines charged the terminal late to Portland, i-lus a 10 cent arbi trary to destination. Finding that non-remunerative, however, the car riers made tha rate on thla business to Willamette valley points the full sum of the local rates. The Gile company and others Inter ested held that this rate was unreason able, inasmuch as the Southern Pa cific, to reach Portland, was hauling merchandise through Roseville, Ca! from the east and thence north through the Willamette valley, the rate of Portland being less . than to the intermediate territory. The commission has held, however, that water competition does cut a fig ure in this business, especially wate. competition by river, which has forced the local rail rate from Portland down to a low figure. The Southern Pa cific made this as a defense against restoring the former 10-cent rate. Tha commission apparently have sustained this contention. GARBAGE VS. GOLF IS SUBJECT OF A LIVELY IT AT A DEBATE ommissioner Baker and Ex Judge Stevenson Mix in Civic League Meeting, It looked as if the fur was going tj fly in the debate on Garbage vs. Golf, between City Commissioner George Baker and Former Munlciskl Judge John H. Stevenson, at the weekly meeting of the Civic league in th-i Oregon building yesterday. Commis sioner Baker was up and after Mr. Stevenson from the start. When, however, some one presented Commissioner Baker with a golflns kit which must have cost at least 10 cents, including the candy inside the golf bag, and Mr. Stevenson said tha: Mr. Baker was on his way to be gov ernor of the state of Oregon, a con gressman, and perhaps even a senator of the United States, a smile came over the commissioner's face and thereafter the best of harmony pre vailed. Commissioner Baker, who opened the debate, said that it was an op portune time, at a very little cost, to find out whether or not the people wanted a golf ground and whether or not they were ln favor of establlsU Ing a recreation center in the vicinity of Reed college. He said that he ex pected the proposition would be a money-making one, that there would be more money paid Into the general fund of the city than would be taken out of it. If the plan proved a suc cess the people would say so and they could then undertake to establisn a municipal goir course permanently. Judge Stevenson said the time was not propitious for spending public money, on any further experiments along recreational lines. The small expenditure ' now proposed would de velop into a bond issue of perhaps two, three or 400,000 before the idea was fully developed. Then the speak er traced the future possibility of a municipally owned race course, base ball field and municipal umpire, ter. nis courts, swimming holes, hunting and fishing preserves. He carried on his hyperbole until he spoke of a 1 municipally owned and operated the atre. When, his audience applauded this idea he pursued his discussion along another line. Judging by appearances the audi ence was more In sympathy with Mr. Baker than with Mr, Stevenson. Verv little was said on either side about garbage.
