A. W. Donald, chairman of the in- ' nicn
terstate commerce committee of the1 Young Borelnnd had lived in La
Spokane chamber of commerce, said
In an interview today that while the
new rates from Chicago and Mississ
ippi river points are satisfactory, they
dc not cover all the ground, adding:
"Two strong points were guincd by
Spokane. One is that the present rates
are too high, the other that the 75 ;
per cent rate from eastern points to
the Pacific coast and a local rate back
to Spoknno Is illegal. Wo believe, too,
that the railroads could have taken
tno three months already passed to
show the revenues accruing on bust-
ness actually handled and the revenuo
which would have accrued, had the
rates prescribed by the commission
been In effect.
"The months of April, May and
June are fair "months upon which to
base revenues on freight, while the
succeeding three months are not, for
the reason that fewer goods are ship
ped. Another thing Is that, in view
of the favorable decision, many of the
dealers will curtail their shipments
until tho new tariffs become effective."
Mr. Doland announced that repre
sentative of one of the trnns-contl-nental
railroads operating in the Spo
kane territory has agreed to put the
new rates Into effect as ordered by the
commission, even though the proposal
Is declined by competitive lines. He
