TUft effort of the jtcdford Traffic bureau (o submil an initiative petition to the people of Oregon (o )revent railroad freight rate discrimination and establish maximum distance class rates is not "rate-making by prejudice," as stated by the Portland Orcgouian. It is rather an appeal to reason. To sum up the situation: The Southern Pacific in Oregon is paying the largest net earnings of any railroad in the country, due to excessive tariffs.' Medford is nnv- -.--. - . . . . mg the highest freight rates of anv city m the United States, barring none. It is the victim of rank discrimin ation, as well as high tariffs under existing conditions, Portland is now, and always has been the recipient of rail road fa vol's that caused that city, through its chamber of commerce, to intervene and fight the railroad fight in every ease brought by neighboring cities to secure reduced rates. Portland has the privilege of shipping to points in Ore gon at. cheaper rates than points in Oregon can ship to Portland and as a result, there is but one city in Oregon, and the material progress and development of the state has been throttled. No relief has been forthcoming from the railroad commission, though it has had the Medford case oeiore it a year. The basis of rate-making in Oregon has never been to yield a fair return upon the investment The basis has ever been "all the traffic will bear" and then some. A few months ago a branch railroad lino in Oregon was completed. A schedule of freight rates had been ar ranged by an experienced eastern railroad man. It was in effect a uniform distance tariff, similar to that in force on eastern railroads. Before operation began, a western freight agent was sent to look over the railroad, lie spent a week studying the eountrv and its wagon roads. As a result, a new schedule was adopted, based on the acces sibility and isolation of the towns reached, which doubled the revenues. It was the old principle of all the traffic will bear, used to fix rates upon a new line and without a protest from the railroad commission. If the recital of these bald facts constitutes "an appeal to prejudice," then there will be many such appeals. But prejudice has nothing to do with the case. The people of lUcdiord enjoy friendly relations with the railroad, but self-preservation demands that discrimination against in terior sections cease, and a strong fight will be made to bring about a square deal to both railroad and pcoplc-"- whicli is all that is asked. Listen to this from the Oregonion: "It (The Orcgo uian) sought only to defend the initiative from the palpa ble abuse and the people from imposition." The Oregonian in a new light! Defender of the initia tive and protector of the "fool of the family"! It is to laugh! The Oregonian, savior of the Oregon system from its enemies, the people "defend the initiative" God save the,markl Now, as to the abilit' of the Medford Traffic bureau to prepare a rate schedule. The Oregonian is respectfully referred to the briefs it has filed, both in the interstate commerce and the state cases. These briefs speak for themselves, and have caused favorable comment and com pliments all over the nation. A member of the interstate commerce commission is authority for the statement that the Medford cases were the best handled and clearest pre sented of any yet considered. Frank H. AfeCune, Mcd ford's traffic expert, is the man who prepared the Spo kane, Reno and other cases, and his contentions have been sustained, overturning; Portland's every contention. A bill prepared by such an authority is likely to stand. Concluding, the Oregonian says: "To turn now to the initiative on the railroad rate issue is unprogressive. It is reactionary." This is delicious. The Oregonian as mouthpiece of pop ular government! The arch reactionary rushing to the defense of progress! It's like the devil sprinkling himself with holy water to fight the battles of the cross. The people of Oregon have cut loose from precedent and prejudice. They intend to solve the problems of misgoy ernment as honestly and fairly as possible in their own way. No unjust cause can long triumph, and if the Med ford Traffic bureau cannot make good with the people of Oregon in its appeal for a square deal its efforts will not and should not be crowned with success. But its cause is a just one, and its fighting abilities unquestioned. It has entered the battle to win. UMA, Ohio, Sept. 11.
