companies such full, convenient and
ready access to the buy and terminal
facilities thereon that each company
will be ,able freely to compete with
the other, to serve public efficiently
and to accomplish the purpose of the
IcglHlation under which it wus con
structed. And a like course'Should
be pursued In .dealing with tho lines
extending from San Francisco Bay to
Sacramento and Portland, Oregon.'
"Operation of the Central Pa
cific a's an independent line would
afford two competing railroads be
tween San Francisco and Portland
through Joint and common use of
separately owned tracks. Such an ar
rangement is In pructlcal operation
between Portland and Seattle, where
three railroads are using the same
tracks. It would not mean increase
In rates or less service, but 'would
reason Just to the contrnry. ,
"The possibility of further railroad
construction through Eastern Oregon
and competing lines between Oregon
and California should be carefully
studied und considered In the inter
est of state development."
The following is a statement by
President Sproule of the Southern
Pacific railroad on Pacific railroad
acts:
"The Pacific railroad acts are re
ferred to by Mr. Gray in his recent
statement as to the attitude of the
Union Pacific on the supreme court
decision in the Southern Pacific-Cen
tral Pacific case and in which he ex
presses the desire of the Union Pa
cific to ncqulra the Central Pacific.
That desire in udvanced with tho sug
gestion that since the Dillon Pacific
and Central Pacific were constructed
under the Pacific railroad act3, these
acts require a continuous line.
The fact is congress contemplated
that the through line might be oper
ated in separate .ownership by two
companies for congress by the act of
May 6th, 1870, fixed the common
terminus and point of junction of
Union Pacific with Central Pacific
at a point near the station at' Ogden
within the limits of Hue sections of
land described In the act, and au
thorized the two companies to enter
upon and possess these lands In equal
snares. ' , '
The Pacific railroad acts require
simply that the line from Omaha to
Ogden and front Ogden to San Fran
cisco be operated is a physically con
nected line, not in the sense of own
ership, but as a matter of not break
ing the line by putting obstacles in
the way which would prevent unob
structed movement. They were to bo
operated without discrimination of
one road against the other, no mat
ter who operated them. When the
Union Pacific system in Mr. Harri
man'8 time got control of the South
ern Pacific the position of the Cen
tral Pacific was unchanged. The
traffic was handled during that con
trol and it has been handled since
that control ended.
It is to be noted that when Mr.
Harriman controlled both Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific he never
attempted to take away the Central
Pacific portion of the Central Pacific
or the Central Pacific portion of the
Southern Pacific from the latter and
attach it to the Union Pacific. Tht
Pacific railroad acts were intended
to provide for that kind of operation
which the laws have since made uni
versal. These were the days before
shippers enjoyed the right to route
their freight. The railroads at that
fine designated the routing.
The present long distance ticketing
too, was largely unknown. Today on
the contrary, every shipper routes his
freight over the line he designates,
requires a bill of lading showing that
routing and it is given him without
question. This the law requires and
it could not be withheld oven if the
railroads wiohed to withhold It. Re
member, however, the court did not
Justify its recent decision by reference
to the Pacific railroad acts, neither
did the court take cognizance of the
transportation act of 1920. The de
cision was expressly placed upon the
court's construction of the Sherman
anti-trust act and that aione.
That tho Southern Pacific has at all
tides performed its duties and obli
gations under trie Pacific rai'roads
acts was acknowledged by the Union
Pacific officials in their testimony in
court. Faith has been kept with the
Union Pacific, the government and
tho people. As to the closing of the
gateway, that Is a mere figure of
speech! The laws have robbed any
rairoad of the power to close a gate
way. The only control a railroad
has ove rits traffic is the moral con
trol that Hprlngs from tho good will
and favor of the shipper or traveler
who uses the railroad. ' The South
ern Pacific aa now constituted could
not of its own motion divert a ton
ot freight or one passenger from the
Union Pacific neither could the Union
Pacific of its own motion, only the
shipper or passenger can dot It.
The same policies and public neods
and legal- requirements which have
obtained compliance with the terms
OL lite rttcinc "lauiuau ui;io uuniift
the past fifty years will enforce com
pliance during the years to come.
The flow ot traffic over all lines "
by any route is fre arid open .
wherever the tariff rates are In effect
as tho law requires. x
Hence the suggestion that In order
to comply with-the Pacific Railroads
act the Central Pacific must be torn
front the Southern Pacific is without
mai-lt anil nmoninllv Ul with HtlA lft-
gard to teh public Interest. The pub
lic are Interested in the best railway
service given them with the'greatest
convenience to them. The puDlic :
hiii'a unfiling- tn Grain hv forcing the
Southern Pacific into two when the -lines
as a unit are best fitted for the
service required.
