Tbe propo'ed advance in lumber
rates may, if put in effect, be more
far reaching in its consequences
than either carriers or shippers an
ticipate. The underlying principal
is of great import. It is not wheth
er rates on lumber or any other
commodity shall be advanced, but
whether in this day cf combination
such a tremendous power fraught
with such possibilities can e safely
lett in the bands of a few traffic of
facials, responsible to no one save
their immediate superiors.
it can never be conceded for one
moment that a railroad can gradu
ate its charges on the basis of the
prosperity of a community. Rea
sonable compensation, remunera
tive rates are all it is entitled to.
Any other theory would enable the
railroad to divert at any time to its
own treasury a share of tbe profits
ot successful industries or occupa
tions. To countenance such a pow
er is impossible.
There seems to be a wide differ
ence of opinion between the manu
facturers and the carrier as to the
result on the lumber industry of the
proposed advance. On the one
hand the manufacturer asserts that
it will be actually destructive, car
ryinc in its train not only partial
ruin to the lumber trade, but a cor
responding effect on all lines of bus
iness; that no rational reason has
ever been given as a justification
for the advance; and that the mo
tive actuating it is either retalia
tion or to divert a larger portion of
the profits of the lumber industries
into the treasuries of the carriers;
neither of which is justifiable. On
the other baud the carrier asserts it
needs increased revenue, that the
lumber rates are too low and must
be equalized.
In event the shipments coutinue
there is no question but what an
additional tax of from five to ten
million dollars will be collected in
freight from somebody. On the
other hand if the shipment is not
made and the mills close, in some
sections there will be commercial
stagnation.
Such an alternative Irom such a
cause ought not to be possible in a
civilized community.
The interstate commerce commis
sion now has power to pass on the
reasonableness of rates after they
are put in effect and to substitute
rates for periods not exceeding two
years if such rates are found unrea
sonable. Why would it not be far better to
pass on changes in advance rather
than wait until the damage is done
and then attempt to reward repara
tion? The public at large are di
rectly interested in these questions.
Here we have a proposed advance
involving the welfare of one of our
greatest industries, which is made
effective by the edict of three or
four traffics managers. It is doubt
ful if it is wise in the light of mod
ern conditions to veBt such a power
in the hands of any one man or set
of men. It would be far safer,
where such changes are proposed'
to first submit them to the commis
sion where all parties in interest .tVvvxsw

Hop Outlook Gloomy. I
Salem, Or., August 28. Reports!
are pouring in from all quarters that j
mold is spreading rapidlv through
tlie hop yards ol tbe valley, and in '
fact the entire state, to the extent
that scores of acres of yards will lit
abandoned altogether and not a sin
gle burr gathered for commercial
purposes. This new and unexpect
ed dilemma threatens to reduce the
possible crop of the Slate of Oregon
at least one-half from previous es
timates. Tliis condition, coming on top of
the threatened scarcity of pickers,
low market and difficulty to secure
picking money, increases the bur
den of the hopgrower, and local
dealers are inclined to view the sit
uation with apprehontion.
