At a previous meeting of the inter
state commerce commission, towns 1
within a given radius of a terminal
point were given the benefit of the
terminal rate on all goods shipped by
class rates. On the day on which the
action taken by the interstate com - 1
merce commission was to hHve gone
into effect, the railroad companies
placed into effect a new tariff on com
modity rates, naming commodity rates
on practically everything
that is
shipped from eastern to western states.
This action on the part of the railroads
defeated the purpose and intentions of
the interstate commerce commission,
and the meeting referred to was for
the purpose of ruising money to try
the case before the interstate com
merce commission.

State Tax Greater this Year.
Hie aaesNcd valuation o f the proper
ty of all public service corporations in
Lane county, as fixed by the state tax
commission is $3,366,156, and Lane
county's share of the state tux tins
year is $124,679.
The amount of Lane county's state
tax this year is s great surprise to
county officials. It is two and a half
times as great as this county 'a share of
the atutc expenses lust year. No cx-
plunuton of the great increase hus been
given. The county court will have to
increase the levy accordingly.
As yet It hus not been decided what
the new levy will be, but it is pretty
safe to predict Unit it will be iilsiut 12
mills, aa compared with 10 mills lust
year. The heavy state tax, togethei >
with increases in other expenses of the
county, will necessitate a slight in
crease st least.
The total valuation of all property
inside the county outside of the puiilii
service corporations is $.34,144,090,
which, added to the assessed valuation
of the property of the corporations,
makes u total of $37,510,46
