WASHINGTON, D. C, July 14.
The interstate commerce commission
-will suspend the recently filed tariffs
ot the various railroads providing for
advanced rates. The decision of the
commission was announced today.
Tho suspension Is sweeping, includ
ing all important general rate ad
vances. The commission will begin
at once an investigation into the rea
sonableness of tho rates. Tho action
la taken under tho railroad regulation
law passed at the last session of con
grew after tho government brought
suit to enjoin tho western roads from
advancing freight rates.
The commission will hurry the In
Testigatlon as rapidly as possible. Spe
cific orders regarding the rates will
be Issued from time to time as tho
tariffs are considered. Bach suspen
sion will last 220 days from tho date
on which tariffs woro to havo gone
lato effect.
The suspensions today affect the
Increases postponed after Taft's con
ference with tho railroad presidents.
A decision not to suspond tho in
creased commutation rates affecting
Kow York was a surprise, as it was
expected that the Interstate commorco
.commission would Investigate these
crates first of all.
Tho action today means tho suspen
sion of 11,000 tariffs and affects ov
er railroad in tho United States, ex
cept thoso in tho southeastern part of
tho country. It was intimated that
Bomo of tho rates that shall bo ap
proved will tako effect August 1.
It is expected that tho commission
will bo ready by tho lattor part of
Septembor to approv nil th rats. If
not tho commission will ordor fur
ther suspension pendlnk investigation.

UT HAT interest can the Mail Tribune have in the site
VV to be chosen tor a horse trough in Ashland?'
asks Judge C. B. Watson, president o the Ashland Com
mercial club, in a communication of protest published else
where. AVhatcver concerns the wellfare of Ashland, of course,
concerns the entire valley, and when an important subject
like a horso trough arouses the various civic organizations
of Ashland to action and the future of the community is
declared at stake, and columns of space in the Ashland
papers are devoted to the weighty subject, it becomes one
of vital interest to the rest of us.
Every fair-minded person will admit that horse troughs
play an "integral part in the life of the community, and
shape its destiny. jSTo country crossroads is complete with
out one. How can Ashland hold its own in the strenuous
competition of today without the horse trough? Enter
prising Talent might install one and get the business.
The civic organizations of Ashland were right in de
manding that the horse trough be located in the cemetery.
Contemplation of the dead, while sipping their beverage,
will have a peaceful and soothing effect upon the minds of
the fiery steeds, and in the somber, melancholy, and chas
tened frame of mind engendered, no animal will be tempt
ed to run away when scared by unseemly noises that oc
casionally disturb the village calm.
But, considering Mr. Watson's protest, the Mail Tri
bune has no apologies to make for remarks made about
Ashland. A close study of the paper will disclose, during
the past six months, ten compliments to one "invidious"
reference, and ten times as many good things printed about
Ashland as any Ashland paper ever said about Medford.
All that has been said about Ashland was merited. The
truth often stings, but it is a good thing to be told the
truth, and a good thing for Ashland to show her how she
appeai-s in the eyes of the rest of the county, and helps
her live citizens in their campaign for progress. Her own
newspapers are edited by General Apathy.
It is the height of absurdity to think that Medford is
jealous of Ashland, or that the Mail Tribune reciprocates
a jealous feeling. Medford has done far more to try and
harmonize the two cities than Ashland. Medford sent a
delegation down to the special session of the legislature to
work for the normal school. Medford has sent speakers
to Ashland Commercial club entertainments. Medford
endorsed the normal school initiative bill and her citizens
signed it largely. Whenever called upon, Medford has
responded but we have yet to record much reciprocal
action by Ashland.
The editor of the Mail Tribune does not expect people
will love him. There is no reason why they should. He
offends too many. But the people of Ashland don't love
their own editors, who are careful to offend no one. The
editor of a live paper working energetically to build up
his community is simply a catspaw to pull the community's
chestnuts out of the fire and be burnt thereby. He must
regard all things to a degree impersonally, and at times
offend and antagonize, in striving to carry out what seems
to him best for the public good. And so his enemies are
legion.

vote. I did not like somo of its ro-
visions, but on tho wholo could see
probable Kicnt Reed to result to tho
wholo valley from tho building of nu
iuterurlmu trolley line. I oxpoot to
support it nffrtin, but am impelled to
criticise the criticisms that so often
and so jceriiiRly nppoar in the Inb
uno directed against this city.
I notice you, in a flippant way,
rcl'crritnr to tho submission of n
modified franchise to Mr. Allen, say
that Ashland has a chouse of heart.
This is not true. Tho former pro
visions havo boon chnnircd to meet
tho criticisms of thoso who opposed
it. What is the nmttor with tho
Tribune that you should indulge in
so much of uukindness toward this
city?
Can you make pcoplo lovo you by
troatini; them with oontumoly? It is
looked upon by your subscribers
hero ns unfriendly and unneiKhhorly.
Such course is not consistent with
your claim of working in the interest
of tho wholo valloy.
Ashland hns no jealousy against
Medford why should von be noting
ns though yon were reciprocating n
jealous sentiment?
What interest enn you havo in tho
sito to bo chosen for a horso trough
are both enjoying phcnoincnuV
growth. Ashland, however, hns
passed tho ago of rod-top boots and
firecrackers, yot is willing that the
youthful precocity of her neighbor
should havo vent in a protracted
Fourth of Jul v. Wo each e.xcol in
our line, and that in which wo oxivl'
nre not matters of competition be
tween us. For instance, you are in
tho center of tho valloy and ho arc
better situated for commorco and
trado.' Our attractions are mioli as
properly handled, will make a groat
place of resort. Tho rules of action
from which growth must follow are
not aliko.
Now, Mr. Editor, (nkon hitch in
your suspouded, and while dodging
your huzz-wngons see if you cannot
find occupation without invidious
references toward Ashland, such as
your subscribers hero havo boon
called on lo read in your paper
many times too often during the past
six months. I am proud of Med
ford's growth, though I would not
oxehnnito Ashland for any place on
oarlh. T also congratulate Medford
on having an oxoollonN. go-ahead
newspaper, though my friend who
swings tho quill is sometimes indis
creet. C. n. WATSON,
President Ashland Commercial club.

CO-OPERATION of water users during the temporary
stringency is asked by the city council, and eveiy
user should respond so that everyone may secure suffi
cient water to keep lawns green.
Shortage is caused by the fact that only about 75 inches
of water is available from the Rogue River Canal com
pany's conduit. As soon as the city's pipeline is complet
ed to the intake on Little Butte, the full 300 inches will
be available.
Inside of a month it is hoped to have the pipeline fin
ished, but until then everyone is asked to go slow on water,
use it for irrigation only during the specified hours, and to
cease sprinkling the street in front of the residences.
