TILE state railroad commission in a decision rendered
by Commissioner Oswald West has ordered a : in
duction in express rates between Medford and oilier points
on tho Southern Pacific in Oregon and Portland. This
is one of several reductions ordered by the eomiM'ssion
from transportation companies, and proves the usefulness
of the commission and its real benefit to the people.
The findings of the commission are that tho rates r.l
present charged by the Wells Pargo express 'are. unjust
and unreasonable," and that "just and reasonable rates
or charges bs made," and that for intrastate business the
express company cease from imposing present schedules
and collect instead rates found by the commission to be
reasonable.
The order is made effective and operative twenty days
from its service upon the Wells Fargo company.
The matter of a reduction in freight rates between
Portland and Medford and other Southern Pacific points
is now pending before the commission, and it is to he hoped
that a reduction will be ordered along the right lines, that
is, making a wider margin between the less than carload
rates and the carload rates. A uniform reduction will
work to the advantage of Portland and prevent the crea
tion of jobbing centers elsewhere in the state, and not
materially benefit the region affected.
Southern Oregon pays the highest freight rates of any
region in the country. As an example, the paper this is
printed upon costs the publishers more than the paper
used by any newspaper in the country, and therefore the
cost of issuing a newspaper in Medford is greater than
elsewhere. The freight on paper, in carload lots, is 75
cents per 100 pounds from eastern mills, 3000 or more miles
away, to Portland. From Portland to Medford. 330 miles,
it is 79 cents. The less than carload rate is 95 cents, a
margin so slight that no paper house could locate in Med
ford, and so small that consumers are scarcely justified in
buying carload quantities. To right such condition, the
railroad commission has been appealed to.
The present commission is an excellent one. It is one
of the few commissions not controlled by the corporations
they are supposed to regulate. It is a matter of regret
that Commissioner "West will not be a candidate to succeed
himself, and great care must be used in the selection of his
successor, lest the transportation concerns slip some can
didate of their own into office.

MANUFACTURING NEWS.
THE Portland Oregonian these days offers a
ing example of the old fashioned partisan
Life is short, but many people
manage to outlive their usefulness.
It is hard to keep the inau down
who is able to keep up appearances.
You may induce people to listen to
your grievances but what do they
care?
Tund words are often waster where
a swift kick would have been more
effective.
It is easier for some men to be
come famous than it is for them to
earn a living.
About this time you may hear them
saying: "You ought to havo been
here last week; one man caught a
steelhcad that long."
Those Alaskan political scandals
should be oxposed at once to the air

a striic-
newspa-
per. Most of the large cit' reapers have outgrown this
style of journalism, but the moss still clings to the tall
tower. Its news and editorial columns are given over to
coloring news and trying to manufacture sentiment favor
able to its program of emasculating the direct primary
law and direct legislation.
The modern newspaper, as a rule, prints the news as
it gets it. It no longer considers it necessary to belittle
and lie about meetings of opposition candidates, and puff
up and falsify accounts of its partisans to blacken enemies
and whitewash friends, in the news accounts. The edi
torial columns still reflect the spite and meanness of the
editor, but that is what they are for.
Day after day the Oregonian is filled with glowing ac
counts of county "assemblies" where only the Trie-hungry
few turn out, and where the slates are typewritten in ad
vance. The effort is made to create the idea that there is
a popular uprising of the people to destroy their own
rights and restore them to the politicians.
Of course in political matters, the Oregonian 's news
columns are totally unreliable. But they have been so for
so long that no one takes them seriously. In thi progress
and growth of the state it is to be hoped the Oregonian will
outgrow this tendency but it is hard to instill modern
methods in a mossback.

jMr. Knox is said to conduct the state department as he

""" In several matters, Mr. Knox has brought the country
into an absurd position, and forced it to back down from

bribed or bullied into a course of action.

The latest size of Buick and the most
popular car in the world, now on hand.
It has been impossible heretofore to
secure these cars on the Pacific Coast,
owing to great demand east. The largest
automobile factories in the world have been
unable to fill the orders for them.
No. 19 is between the White Streak
(No. 10) and Nos.16 and 17. It is the car
designed for family use.
Buicks are air satisfactory cars, but
No. 19 has proven the most satisfactory of
all. See them.
