osts of Astoria are identical t 4.
with the interests of the whole
Columbia basin.
In granting Astoria the same!
late enjoyed by Seattle and!
Tacoma the commission based
its decision on consideration!
ot sen-ice cost. Since the ex-
pense of haul from the interi-j
or to Astoria is no greater than
the expense of haul to Seattle
a higher rate is unjust and so
Astoria is given the same rate
as the sound cities.
Invoking this same principle
it will be logical for Portland
to set up a claim for an even
lower rate than Astoria gets
because Portland is 100 miles
closer than Astoria to this ter
ritory. The logic in the Port
land claim will be sound and
that their contention must be
granted in time seems inevit
able if rates are to be estab
lished on a basis of .justice. A
peculiar feature of the com
mission's ruling in the Astoria
case is the intimation that
Portland will not necessarily
be entitled to a lower rate than
Astoria and Seattle. If the
principle of the cost of service
is applicable to one town why
not to another?
If Portland cannot secure re
lief through the commission it
i,; possible the Columbia river
may be brought into use. In
the past Astoria has been urg
ing the use of the river and ac
me preparations were under
way to establish a municipal
boat line. Having secured a
common point rate Astoria
may now give up such a line
of action, while Portlanders
may see the necessity of using
the river to get under the As
toria rate.
It is going to be very inter
esting to watch the results of
the commerce commission's de
cision. The decision affects
nly interstate business.
