MEDFORD'S STATE RATE CASE.
MEDFORD has had a ease before the State Railroad
Commission for nearly a year. Since the original
hearing only one member of the commission has visited
this locality and that was recently upon the important
business of gathering in the drinking cups, which the Sou
thern Pacific were using in violation of the now state law.
For this task the taxpayers arc paying him $1000.00 per
year, lie stated that he did not know anything about the
Medford case and had not given it any attention.
Last winter when proposed amendments to the railroad
commission law to clarify that statute from impurities in
jected by the peculiar interpretations by the commission
ot its provisions were discussed, one ot tne coiunnsioners
in order to head off this much needed legislation to protect
the statute from pollution, where a long cxplnation as to

MedfoM.ntJBokonyiiie and cen- why decisions were not handed down in the Medford cases,
9aturday0onniy.'by'mMYpfi gj the same appearing ill the colums of this papier at the time.
Weekly, per year AlllOllg SO1U0 Of the statements Was 0110 to tllO effect
that the commission had not had time to examine the "vol
uminous exhibits," ten in number, filed by the complain
ant in support of its cases, and that it would take "months''
to analyze this evidence. The legislation was passed up,
and then the commission went into hirnation upon the
Medford cases, and when the due season arrived (which
came by the way of Medford in its initiative resolution)
the commission came forth to engineer another flank move
ment to head off justice and equality to interior cities.
Xow that the People's Equitable Rate League is or
ganized, Clyde 13. Aitchisou, chairman of the commission,
is quoted bv the Oregonian as saving ""We have carefully
laid our plans and have gone elaboratclv into detail for the
most comprehensive investigation in the historv of the
commission, and these hearings will be exhaustive." And
yet this same commissioner complained last winter that
Medford had overburdened the commission with ten volu
minous exhibits and other masses of oral testimony in her
cases which would require months to analyze, but between
the interim of the adjournment of the legislature and the
adoption of the initiative resolution by the Medford Traf
fic Bureau the "cup" bearing commissioner had not heard
of this testimony.
' The commission filed in the federal court in the injunc
tion proceedings of the Southern Pacific Co. affidavits in
support of the order made by the commission increasing the
advantage of Portland jobbers and putting out ot business
interior jobbers. Some of these affidavits were identical
Medford cases, and the attorney emploved bv the coin-
mission to defend it before the court nscd the same figures
and illustrations employed by counsel for Medford in the
evidence and argument made in her cases. The federal
court dismissed the application of the Southern Pacific
Co. but the railroad commision finds itself unable to draw
thetsame deductions against the Southern Pacific Co. in
behalf of Medford as the federal court drew from them to
support reductions in rates from Portland which Medford
asked to have duplicated for her use.
What avail is further "elaborate, comprehensive and
exhaustive" investigation? It is simply further evasion
of justice and dragging out of time to prolong the iniqui
tous duplex rate system by which Portland jobbers are
milking interior commerce, and in effect is the same meth
od adopted by the commission when it had the interstate
commerce commission plocc on its suspended docket a case
which it had brought against the Southern Pacific which
had increased transcontinental rates to the sum of the local
rates in and out of Portland that had heretofore been of
advantage to Salem and other valley points. The advanced
rates favored Portland jobbers, and the suspended case
was of great assistance in delaying a decision, and the rail
road commission case would probably been still on the sus
pended docket had not the Gile case forced it to a hearing,
the same as the People's Equitable Rate League is forcing
tin issue that one man's 'dollar should buy the same num
ber of miles of transportation as another man's dollar for
the same service.
