WITH tlio grin of n Cheshire at, the Portland Clinm-j
her of Commerce has now come forward in the role
of a patron saint in a written petition of intervention in
the -Medford rate cases before the State Railroad commis
sion after these cases have passed to the stage of briefing.
The first appearance of this feline in' the Medford
cases, was a voluntary solicitude for towns other than Mod
ford in southern Oregon, where it purred sortly and cun
ningly 'iid rubbed itself caressingly about the shins of the
commission, awaiting an invitation to curl and cuddle
itself in the lap of the commission, where it could send its
warning nail into a commission nerve when a fancied dis
turbance seemed to threaten a transportation privilege of
an infinitesimal number of dairy jobbers who nirmsh this
cat with toothsome cream.
Under the prod of justice and equity this feline reared
itself into a man-eater of southern Oregon interests irre
spective of location or name, and in this form is seen its
real character and purpose, Thus unmasked it retreated
to its lair the Portland Chamber of Commerce hall
licked its wounds received in the encounter at Medford to
a healing, deftly concealed its scars, again assumed the

ASHLAND
HARRIED WEDNESDAY
of its lair and leaps, soft padded, into the fireside home of
Med lord and with a soil purr, wherein subtly concealed
lurks envy and greed and a purpose to devour, that says
there is hut one fireside in Oregon, one home, one aim, one
purpose', one people, I am yours and you, are mine, and we
will go together before the throne of the railroad commis
sion where 1 will radiate my genialily, which is irresist
ible, and purr ji prayer, the granting of which is simply
the asking, for the removal of the transpprtation injustice
so long imposed by the dog of a railroad.
Marvellous hypocrisv! The appearance of tho Port
land Chamber of Commerce before the State Railroad
commission as the friend and patron of southern Oregon
interests is a flimsy deception, but no one is deceived ex
cept the deceiver. The record of the Medford cases before
the railroad commission discloses the Portland Chamber
of Commerce as devoid of all sense of justice, and its ap
pearance, disappearance and reappearance in differing
forms in these cases, depicts it as personified selfishness
without a single thought or desire for its redemption. Its
efforts at intervention in these suits was not impelled by
justice but the obstruction of justice. Its latest, and let
it be hoped its last throe is in the dual role of friend and
foe of all southern Oregon towns and people. "What blind
ness! It is as though this feline lay stretched alone
a limb bare of foliage in the belief that its spotted
l)od v was eomplelelv concealed, from which concealment
it could pounce upon its prey the southern Oregon people.
Medford looks to the railroad commission to be con
sistent to its oath and to weigh the evidence in the case and
make a finding and order in accord therewith, but .Medford
does not look to the Portland Chamber of Commerce for
any assistance whatever. Medford is not swayed either
by flattery or frown of the Portland Chamber of Com
merce, whose latest form of intervention is a confession
that it believes it has power apart from evidence and jus
tice to influence the decision of the commission in the !Med
ford suits, otherwise why should it appear in the character
of a patron in joining in the Medford prayer for a reduc
tion in the carload rates, and in another guise in the same
petition as an opponent by the injection of an issue which
the commission has already investigated and ordered pub
lished, a scale of rates which are approved by the Portland
Chamber ol Cemmerce:
