COUNTY PAYS
FOR INSURANCE
BUT GETS NONE
With probable rejection looming
Of an Insurance claim for repairs on
two automobile truck belonging to
the county some of the members of
the county court Monday were dis
cussing possibility of eliminating
automobile Insurance altoget her
from the county budget and hi the
future providing for Ute county car
rying it own insurance on Its cars
and trucks.
Tlve accident in question occurred
recently when two paving trucks of
the county carrying materials to the
state school for feeble minded tang
led front wheels on a narrow bridge
on that road and did some damage
to both cars. The bill for repairs
went into the Insurance company
through Its local agents. Advices
have come bark that probably the
claim will not be paid. "Your cov
erage" says the letter, "applies only
to damage to property of others."
In this tnstanoe both of the car
damaged were property of tlie in
sured. The insurance company aays
it would Investigate further but
doubted U the claim would be paid.
"I have also been advised." stated
Commissioner Smith, "That if one
of our trucks killed or maimed one
of our own employes our personal
liability insurance would give us no
coverage. Tlie county has been in
hard luck with this automobile in
surance. A while back some old car
hit one of our trucks and the other
car had no Insurance so we were
compelled to fix up our own truck.
'Technically the Insurance com
pany may be right in its interper
tat Ion of the policy in the recent
accident. But these employes are
merely working for the county and
it appears to us as a different prop
osition than one individual owning
two cars. If we find out that Insur
ance doesn't insure it is possible we
may carry our own insurance in
the future. Inasmuch as we have to
pay the cUims anyway possibly it
would be draper just to pay them
without paying the premiums In ad
dition.
Railroad World Now
Waits For Decision
In Cross-State Case
Portland (AP) The fate of the proposed cross-state
line, a 1 So mile railroad which the interstate commerce com
mission ordered the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navi
gation company to build irom
Crane to Crescent Lake, Ore., rests
in the hands of three federal
Judges.
The Union Pacific, which owns
the O.-W. It. & N., challenged the
authority of the commission to
force construction of the line and
arguments by counsel for bcih
sides were heard here Monday. The
Judges hearing the case, federal
Circuit Judge Dietrich, of Boise,
and Fedrrnl Judges Bean and Mc
Nary, of Portland, then took the
case under advisement and will re
ceived supplementary briefs before
giving its decision.
Trie Union Pacific filed a sup
plementary brief immediately. Trw
government will file a brief in 30
days and the railroad will file an
answer ten days later.
Arthur C. Spencer and Roy F.
Shields, representing the Union
Pacific and the O. W. R. & N.. at
tacked the commission's order on
the grounds that body had trans
cended the authority granted to it
In the interstate commerce act of
1920. They charged that tfe law
as interpreted and applied violated
the fifth amendment to the feder
al constitution relating to the
taking of property without due
process of law. Mr. Spencer said
all that was intended by the article
under .which the commission acted
was to grant regulatory power over
short rail connections, for the pur
pose of car interchange.
J. Stanley Payne, Washington.
D. C. counsel for the I. C. C.
vigorously defended constitutional
ity of ihs law under which the
commission acted. He said he be
lieved the Union Pacific was short
sighted in the matter and that
construction of the line would be
advantageous. He said tlie govern
ment "is two jumps ahead of the
railroad" in its interest hi proper
development of transportation. He
said often the government had re
quired certain constructions against
the wishes of railroads and that
the projects had proved "highly
advantageous."
V. P. Ell!:, assistant attorney
general for Oregon, argued the
"public convenience and necessity"
of the line for the Oregon public
service commission and W. C.
McCulloch. representing the Ore
gon 3 T'Hbo public service com
mission, which had intervened in
tlie case, contended construction of
the line would be beneficial to the
territory served.
Alfred A. Hampson. counsel for
the Southern Pncif'.r which Inter
vened in the case, .aid his com
pany already hnd spent $16,000,000
in the construction of the Natron
cutoff and the Klamath Falls-Al-
turas collection in order to secure
the bene! its claimed for the pro
posed cross -state line. He said
traffic did not warrant two lines.
Outcome of the case Is awaited
with interest in the railroad world
It is tlie first time on record that
a railroad has challenged the con
stitutional right of the interstate
commerce commission to force con
st ruction of a railroad.
