This was voiced in nn interview
hero today by jr. .Milnkoff, loader of
tlio opposition in tho Dumnnnd one

"The allien," ho said, "mndo their

''I nm convinced that peace will

it is almost certain that the fruits

the Unitarians should insist on tnk

NONE SO BLIND AS
THOSE WHO WILL
NOT SEE-GARNETT
II. t Giuiiett of the Medford Traf
fic bureau today expressed himself
as follows on n recent editorial on
the now rnte bill passed by the jeople
which appeared in the Orcguitinii:
"If the rate makers of the Oregon
railroads and its railroad commission
would get it bunch of high school
girls who know the multiplication
tables und could figure interest, to
prepare the tariffs for them, they
would not have any trouble with the
new rate bill." declares Mr. Garnott,
"but hceiuic tho lneaoure i not
written in the langunge of some rail
road attorney and because it docs
not use 'aforesaid patty of the first
part,' or because it does not proscribe
just what should not, or should b
done, it is a poor piece ol Knglili--so
says the Oregonion.
"Section 2 of the measure sn.vs n
minimum carload weight shall be pro
vided for each article, but inasmuch
us the classification does not issue
weekly or monthly it is natural (.
assume that in this growing state
where new factories nru expected to
spring up-that articles nut Mentioned
in the last classification would be
offered and in each of those offered
the minimum would be 30.0110 pounds,
provided that much of the commodity
could be put in a car. If not itn,
minimum would be the amount a car
would hold. That any one could
construe this 'each to mean every
article shipped is simply rot.
"If the S. P. and O. W. R. &
railway- were as friendly to Medfjrd
and Hakcr as they are to Portland
this law would ho worked out Jo r.
nicety. U onr railroad comini-sn-.n
wished to see all iniiiits in Oregon put
on the same basis no trouble would
be found. Ko one is so blind as those
who will not see.
"The measure plainly says tba'
no carload rate shall be greater than
n certain ior cent of the class rate.
Those who framed and put this tnen
sure before the eople had no intou
tiou of disturbing the special or com
modity rates. These rates are sik'c
tally made by the railroad for a spec
ial purMse and arc approved by M.o
railroad commission. It is cited Hint
small mills dependent on railroads '(
haul their logs will Ko nut of busi
ness, the Salem Tile factory likewise.
They forget to call attention to (ho
fact that Ashland, Phoenix, Medfjrd.
Central Point, Fugle Point and muny
other inland towns have lame wel
equipped flour mills which hnxo been
put )iit of business, likewise the
wheat industry of soutlic.-ii Oregon,
becuiiso of a special or commodity
rate on flour frum Portland to Med
ford and above mentioned points
u mill in transit rate nt that. Sever
al idle breweries in southern Oregon
made idle for the same reason. They
forget to mention that on uccouut of
the rate on scrap iron being so high
and the sash weights rate so low that
our well cquipiK'd foundry t-nn not
make sash weights und complete with
Portland.
"Attention is called to Medford's
green fruit rate, the rate in both car
loads and less arc sH'cin and re
mains until such time us the S. P.
chooses to put it back in the clnsies
and if Portland raised fruit it would
noon ko there
"Attorneys say that fruit cunnot
take one carload rate und some other
first class article tuke another. Rot!
It docs now, always did und tho new
law cannot bo properly construed to
menu such stuff, but any one knows
that tho ruilrond can if it is foolisn
enough lo place such a construction
on it but wo hardly think it will.
''The new bill will materially lower
all carload rates not commodity nitet
and they should be lower. When tho
spread between less than carload and
car loads is only .09 something U
rottou und nowhere, only on the Pa
cific const, do such conditions exist.
Somo of tho iHO.OO per month rail
roud clerks writing tho editorials for
tho Orcgouiuu would try to have ou
believe thut Medford and other cities
outside of Portland did not have the
constitutional right to aspiro to bo
.jobbing centers anything that would
come in competition with our great
and glorious Portland is u prima ami
must bo declared unconstitutional.
"If the people of Oregon knew that
a carload of freight loaded in San
Francisco and hauled by tho S. P.
ruilroad to Medford cost .07 per 100
IMMiuds, nnd the sumo would be taken
to Portland, 320 miles further nnd
hnulcd back to Medford another 32'J
mileH for tho sum of .08, a snving of
.20, they would likely Kay, 'Who in
tho world made such rates' und tho
untwer Would como from Portland,
'tho wuter inukca thut ruto,' but tho
water does not compel tho 8. P. to
haul the ear 058 miles in order to
muko the rate .20 less but they huvs
