AN APPEAL FOR A SQUARE DEAL.
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.
