From Eastern Oregon Saysi Plea Should be Denied II. II. COREY ' ..i r-m Member Oregon Public Service mlshion- The public should be advised of the many applications by tne rauroau companies which are now pending be - fore the Interstate Commerce - mission for so-called Fourth Section relief, that Is, permission to charge less i , for the hauling of freight to I'acltic coast terminal points than to the in termediate points, the carriers con tending that such relief is necessary to enable them to compete with the boats operating through the canal from coast to coast, and between Pa cific coast seaports. Should the carriers succeed In these requests, Interior points will again be placed at great disadvantage thru the intermediate territory again assuming the burden of support of the country's rail transportation system. Under such conditions, I do not believe in- terior points can safely Invest in local industrial and commercial enterprises for the reason that such Investment may be Jeopardized and perhaps con fiscated by the subsequent lowering of rates to the coast points under the guise of meeting water, rail and mar ket competition in one form or an other Such policy, to my mind, re stricts opportunity and development, as well as restricting lnorease In pop ulation and taxable wealth. Kather than to reduce railroad rates to meet hoat competition i4 coast ter minals, W&uM Hot the equalization of rates throughout the country have a higher beneficial effect by placing all communities upon an absolute equal-ithe itv? Those of the Intermediate points will not object to their railroad . t reasonable and free from unjust discrimination undue preference and prejudice. for the Intermediate points would then be upon an equal footing with all other localities and would thus be en abled to manufacture their products at home and compete In a healthy manner with. other localities and will obtain the advantage of community betterments and prosperity, thus per mitting the spending of their own money at home Instead of allowing it to go to a few terminal Industrial cen ters. Such a schedule of rates would permit Industrial development at the intermediate points, and increase ihe population, wealth and taxable pro perty of such cities as Salem, Albany, Corvallts, Eugene, Itoseburg, Orants;,,,, )lis own recognizance.
