Characterizing the prison system at

TO
Medfcrd's Contention That Oregon
Boundary Line Should Not Be Ba
sis of Increased Charges and That
Rates Should Be Uniform.
Material Reduction in Interstate
Traffic Charges Will Follow tft
Benefit of Medford Shippers.
WASH1NTON, Juno 11. Tho In-tcr-stato
commorco commission sus
tained today the contention of tho
traffic bureau of Medford, Oregon,
that the rate of tho Southern Pacific
railroad from Medford to certain
points In California, including Horn
brook nnd Edgewood, was unreason
able. This caso was brought In the Fall
of 1910 when Commissioner Prouty
took testimony In Medford. Wit
nesses for Medford wero II. C. Gar
nett, E. A. Welch. J. F. Iteddy and
Gcorgo Putnam. Tho caso wait
handled by Frank II. McCunc, rate
expert for tho bureau. All tho di
vision and goneral operating offi
cials of tho .Southern Pacific ap
peared for tho railroad, Attornoy
Fenton conducting tho caso.
The Medford evldcnco showed con-
I clnslvnlMJtf U mUfcltrgcMtuOros
gon wero higher thnn those charged
in California for tho samo distance
and that tho Oregon boundary lino
was used as a basis in rato making.
Tho statement of tho caso as pre
sented by Medford bureau was as
follews:
"The rate structuro of tho South
ern Pacific Company for business
crossing tho Or-egon-Cnllfomla state
lino is abnormal in that it uses tho
state lino as a basing point, whereas
rates should bo sot to a scalo ot
through mlloago without regard to
an Imaginary political lino which of
fers no rcslstanco or oxpenso to
transportation in crossing it. Tho
rato structure Is further abnormal to
tho extent of having two dlfforent
scalo of rates on either sldo of this
Imaginary political lino.
"Tho complaint is made against
this rato structuro dividing on a
basing point nt tho stato lino instead
of uniform graduation on through
mileage ami against tho combination
rate niado up of a high rato for tho
Oregon mileage and tho normal ad
justment established by tho South
ern Pacific Company for California.
Tho contention Is that tho samo scalo
of rates should bo applied for tho
entlre mileage without rogard to
political states and that tho read
justment should bo niado la con
formity with the scalo of reusoaablo
rates la iiso by tho defendant at
other points on Its line.
"This abnormal adjustment pro
hibits distribution ot morchandlso
from such a natural geographical
supply point as Medford to tho noar
by towns In California and enforces
tho drawing of supplies from distant
markets at rates la excess of what
should bo reasonable inbound car
load rates to Medford and rouBonablo
outbound less than carload rates to
destination, which Is tho economy of
transportation both to tho carrier and
tho purchaser of transportation."
