Ono of tho most clol'eiisiblo positions taken by railroad
companies is that which creates and justifies a lower rate
upon carload freight than on shipments handled in less
than car lots. Nothing could bo more logical. The differ
ence in operating expense between these classes of traffic
must be considerable
The shipper loads and unloads tho carloads. The rail
road receives and delivers the small shipments at tho
freight house door. Nine-tenths of the labor performed
by tho railroad at its freight stations is on the small ship
ments. The carload takes care of itself, save for the in
cidental switching.
The small shipment moves as package freight, calling
for the best character of service. The carload moves more
slowly, except under elements of strong competition, when
certain classes of carload traffic are given preferred serv
ice. On local lines tho preferred service is not an item of
necessity.
Hence less carload shipments between Portland and
Medford are on the road perhaps 3G hours j carloads move
in three days and longer. The grade of the commodity
governs that.
The great bulk of expense at freight stations is nec
essarily .in the actual handling of the small shipment by
the railroad in and through the warehouses, and the freight
is handled m the warehouse as many times as congested
conditions necessitate.
Millions of dollars are expended by the railroads for
freight station facilities throughout the United States for
the sole purpose of caring for the less carload shipment.

shipments vastly' exceed those moving in car lots. All
this and more justifies the railroad in demanding a higher
rate on less carload freight. Special rates are seldom
made to encourage less carload shipments. The lowf rate
is made to encourage the traffic movinor in bulk. "Water
competition cuts small figure in rate making, except for
carload traffic. The carload is unalterably the regulat
ing factor. "What is the basis of rates between the Atlantic
and Pacific coast by rail? A carefully graded plane of
class rates are built a good deal on the same
structure as the rates between local community
rates and terminal points, where the community is
parceled out by the railroad to the jobber in that or those

the trans-continental railroads for carload shipments' rooms "" WIH"ei'' -v nnrrow pas-
, . sajies.
ao not move many carloads, special rates are made to
cover practically every article moving in carloads from the
east to the Pacific coast jobbing points, and the less than
carload rate from the east is secondaiy. It is sometimes
special also, but is invariably more than 20 per cent
higher than the carload rates on the same traffic. Do the
railroads maintain that they are not entitled to more than
120 per cent of the carload rate, on less than carload
shipments of groceries, hardware and other staples of ev
ery day consumption? That seems to be the trend of their
defense at the railroad commission hearing the other day.
It hardly seems credible that they should actually insist
upon making a lower rate of freight than the Southern Ore
gon people are asking for.
Medford only asks fair and considerate treatment
from the Southern Pacific. It is the most progressive city
between Portland and Sacramento and it is destined to be
the largest. It is a jobbing center by natural conditions,
and it is so recognized by the Southern Pacific. Jobbing
rates are published from Portland to Medford on certain
articles. They are in force from the east on many more.
Those rates benefit Medford and Southern Oregon. Why
are they made, unless the importance of the Rogue River
valley justifies them?
Then why is the same policy not carried out upon all
lines of traffic handled here?
Southern Oregon has witnessed many changes in rail
road rates in recent years. The railroad forced carload
shipment of vegetables, oranges and other traffic into
Medford before its population justified it. Was it not for
the .purpose of compelling distribution at Medford? And
is jobbing not the correct idea of distribution?
Why have fates been systematically changed into
Medford for several years, all in favor of carload ship
ments, but not from Portland? Why not from Portland?
Where are we at in the broad sense of rates? What we need
we don't get, but we are tendered something lower. Let
the railroad or the commission fix the jig-saw puzzle.
