Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
THE United States supreme court
rules that the Union Pacltlc rail
road can not be compelled to build a
railroad across the state of Oregon.
Thus ends a celebrated case.
BEARING on this' decision, here la
an Interesting comment from
Charles rf. Thomas, public utilities
commissioner of Oregon:
"If tlmea- had continued aa they
were at the time the case was started,
the position of the citizens of tho
tteft cm tits question (the cwe-stae
Htteoad) weuM heme been sustafned."
TUs re te say, la Commissioner
THomee' Judgment, the decision of the
supreme court was a "legislative de
cision." WHAT Is meant by "legislative de
cision?" Well. In plain words, It Is something
like this: The supreme court prob
ably reasoned: "The railroads are not
in good financial condition. This
road will coat approximately eleven
million dollars. That amount of
money would be hard to find right
now. And railroad men assert that the
new line would show a steady loss
Besides, transportation conditions are
changing so rapidly that It may be
this territory can be served by trucks
more cheaply than by railroads."
So, since there may have been
doubt aa to the compelling nature
ef the provision of the transporta
tion act In such cases, the court may
have decided that it would be wiser
publlo policy to rule against the com
pulsory extension.
Hence the term "legislative de
cision." npHB colebrated cross-state. -railroad
1 was planned originally by E. h.
Harrlman, as a part of a great project
for the development of Oregon. Then
Harrlman died.
After Harrlman's death, anti-trust
proceedings were launched by the
government against the railroad sys
tern that he had built up, and dlssoiu
tlon of the Union Pacific-Southern
Pacific merger was finally ordered.
One of the resulta of this dlssoiu
tlon order was the abandonment of
the cross-state railroad In Oregon.
SEVERAL Interesting developments
In railroad history, and in the
attitude of the government toward
the railroads and the problem of
railroad transportation, are Illustrated
by the history of this cross-state case
For example, the anti-trust suit
against the Union Paclflo and the
Southern Paclflo was Instituted by
the government, which was then try
ina to pry existing railroad mergers
apart and make the Individual lines
highly competitive.
Now the government 1 trying to
force the railroads to MERGE Into
a few great systems.
Quite a change in policy. Isn't It?
rpHE cross-state line was abandoned
X. as a" result of a suit by the gov.
eminent to compel two railroad
systems to unmerge.
Later on, one of the powerful
agencies of the government, the In'
teratate commerce commission, OR
DERED the Union Pacific railroad to
BUILD this same rail line which had
been abandoned because of the op
position of the government to mergers.
It wsa this formal order of the
Interstate commerce commission
which was reversed by the supremo
court decision of yesterday.
Another considerable change, you
see.
IT ISN'T merely' laws and govern
mental policies that have changed.
CONDITIONS have changed also.
The railroads, once the sole reliance
for Interior transportation have
now become primarily long-distance
haulers. The short-haul business Is
being pretty largely absorbed by the
truck.
The railroads are not doing much
opening up of new territory. That
Is being left to the modern highway
and the new transportation systems
It has made possible the truck and
the bus.
Changing conditions have affected
In a strangely Interesting way the
fate of this cross-state rail line in
which Oregon has been so keenly in
terested for so many years.

Denunciation of published threat

American Legion, several members
pointing out the harm being done

MILK WAR FLARES
ANEWINMEDFORD:
PRICE 5CTS. CASH
The drastic reduction in the price
of milk by Medford's three largest
creameries to pay-ln-advsnee cus
tomers waa branded as a "price war
against the milk depots" today by the
Oilman Dairy in a atatement, in which
the dairy refused to join the move
ment.
The price on milk was reduced
this week to five cent a quart to
customers paying in advance for their
product. The price equals that pre
viously charged at milk depots, where
customers were required to call for
the milk and to bring their own con
tainers. Provloua to the reduction,
milk delivered in the bottles was
selling for nine cents. The price to
charge customers has also been re
duced to eight cents.
The Oillman dairy, in opposing the
reduction today, stated, "Such a re
duction Is necessarily temporary, and
the purpose could only be to put the
milk depots out of busln-ss.
"We understand the majority of
these depots are operated by farmers
who are endeavoring In this manner
to find a market for thetr milk at
a reasonably fair pri.ee.
"We have no quarrel with these
men, and are not trying to eliminate
this competition by selling our milk
at a loss until they are put out of
business.
"From 10 years experience we know
our cost Is approximately 17 cent
per gallon to produce the milk on
the farm; and approximately 12 cent
to refrigerate, bottle and distribute
grade A milk.

DANGER SEEN IN
ON COURT HOUSE
To the Editor:
The headlines of the morning paper
to the effect that Lowell Zundell pro
poses to lead a mob of 3000 citlmns
upon the courthouse and there to
demand the resignation of certain
county officials can only arouse In
the minds of thoughfui and tempe
rate citizens a feeling of alarm.
With unemployment and depres
sion and hunger abroad in the land.
this Is not the time for that sort of
assemblage.
Perhaps it would be well to here
set out the Oregon law on the subject
of riot and unlawful assembly. Sec
tion 14-601:
"Whenever three or more per
sona assemble with Intent, or
with means and preparation to do
an unlawful act, which would be
riot if actually committed, but
do not act toward the commis
sion thereof, or whenever such
persons assemble without au
thority of law. and In such man
ner as is adapted to disturb the
public pence or excite public
alarm, or dkgnlsed la a manner '
adapted to prevent them from
being Identified, -such an os
lembly Is an unlawful assembly.
Section 14-603 prescribes the pun
ishment for participating In a riot
and fixes the same from three months
In the county Jail to 15 years In the
state penitentiary, according to the
gravity of the offense.
Such an assemblage can have for
Its object one purpose and that to
bully and intimidate the duly elected
officials of this county to resign the
offices to which the people elected
them. The law provides ample
remedy to the people In the recall
of public officials. Any other method
of removing them from office is un
lawful and seems to take away from
the official the opportunity of de
fending himself, and having his day
in court, or before the people.
This business of inciting' people to
take the law In their own handa la
an extremely dangerous proposition,
and may well result in no little blood-
shed. I believe that this situation
demands prompt and vigorous action.
Wr. Lowell Zundell and any other
person responsible for this idea
should- be hailed before the grand
Jury forthwith, and if the facts are
as stated in the morning Paper, should
be promptly Indicted for inciting riot.
Very truly yours,
E. E. KELLY.
STATE BOUNTIES
SYSTEM FAULTY
PORTLAND. Jan. 10. (AP) The
circumstance that the state no longer
pays bounties on cougar and wolves
doesn't mean that the state game
commission has lost Interest in preda
tory animal control.
Prank B. Wire, state game super
visor, declared today that the bounty
system has proven ineffective and
that the paid hunter system has been
found the most efficient where funda
are available.
But. he said, "in addition to out
right abuses of the bounty system,
revealing cases where fraud was at
tempted, it has been found that more
than 75 per cent of the cougar and
wolves taken were accounted for by
what are called 'occasional killings."

EX-COUNTY HEADS
To the Editor:
In view of the fact that consider
able publicity has been given to the
failure of the former county court
to provide In the budget the neces
sary funds for a general audit of the
books of the county, we feel that in
justice to the tax payers and clttzena
of the county that the matter should
be fully explained.
At the time the budget for 1938
was adopted, the advisability of mak
ing a general and complete audit of
thoroughly considered by the former
the entire booka of the county was
county court. There were no funds
available for auch an audit, and It
would have been necessary to provide
the funds by general taxation. The
budget committee, consisting of B. E.
Harder George B. Dean and Henry
O. Enders and the membera of the
then county court, considered that
they were not Justified in Increasing
the tax levy for 1933 by including
the amount necessary for such an
audit:, however, the budget does in
elude an Item of $600 to pay for the
semi-annual audit of the county
books, which audit la provided by law
and which has been taken each and
every year by Mr. E. M. Wilson, a
certified publlo accountant.
In addition he hu made monthly
reporta to the county court, these re
ports covering a complete audit of all
tx receipts, licenses, justices' re
ports, receipts and settlements by all
officers and statements of all funds.
His annual reports made In addition
to his monthly reports included com
plete inventories of county property,
machinery end equipment, and much
other detail required In such reports,
which reporta are on file In the office
of the county clerk.

SANTA MONICA, C1., Jan. 9.
To Mra. Coolldge:
Mrs. Coolldge, your husband's head
rests today not alone on hla Vermont
soil, but pillowed on the sincere trib
ute of the millions he had served.
Every writer has written of the
amazing hold he had on his country
men, and they attributed It to vari
ous causes. Now that he la beyond
the receipt of more honor, what
about the "amazing hold" you had
on your people?
Naturally 7311 tided your hivn?!
career. All wives do that. But what
made you so beloved by the people?
Overnight you were swept Into the
highest position that can be held by
an American woman. Other "first
ladles" had perhaps greater advan
tages, training, background and social
distinction. But you showed that
which travel and social association
can't compete with, something that
waa born In you, ft native dignity,
sincerity, a modest graclousnoss ihaG
endears you to all.
Calvin Coolldge left ft great lesson
to our government in "common
sense." Tours is Just as great ft lesson
to your sex, In ft homely loveliness
and, above all, ft consideration for
the feelings of others, which consti
tutes ft "real' lady, be she pauper or
queen.
Tours,
