Telephone 3173 for a demonstration Oregon's congressional delegation is due soon to receive a barrage of let ters from Hood River orchardists in protest against the existing federal act . . t. I L. .. Km . . . which presences a rule 01 ireignt rate making. In a letter to the approximate 800 affiliated growers of the Apple Grow ers Association, A. W. Stone says: "The high freights form the most serious problem that we and other Pa- I'lhC (xast frilif trr(.wfrs are cnnfmntiul with todav. Since normal timpa uo have had imnn, I Iwn ndvanwu fiml one of 25 per cent and then an increase of 33$ per cent on the original rate plus the 25 per cent. "The original freight rate was prac tically 50 cents per box on apples shipped to the middle west and Atlan tic Seaboard. The mninr nnrtinn nt our apples take this eastern rate, hut on taking into account those that take a lesser rate, we find that the average auvance or treiunt on all ot the apples grown in Hood River valley is nt leant 25 cents ner ho. Thp uwtM viol of apples produced per acre on the average orchard place here will reach 300 boxes on tracts 10 vears of hita uns older. The additional tax this in creased freight rate has placed on the average orchard is therefore a tax of .- per acre. Us means that thia in. creased freicht rate has iiIhcpH orchards an obligation equal to a mort gage of more than $1,000 per acre at 7 per cent per annum, and this without any prospect of being able to secure any higher price for our fruit bv reason of the inrrcHseri mte Thia a direct and perpetual tax on the fruit industry of the Pacific coast which must of necessity absolutely annihilate the business unless we can be relieved oi tne excessive burden. "in addition to this increased freight rate an attempt was made last year to away irom us me privilege or stor age-in-transit. This would be an addi tional serious handicap. A trial of the merits of the storage-in-transit case was held in Washington last Novem ner. l ne writer was oresent m nr. ticipated. We have just learned that the sU)rage-in-transit privileges have "The advanced freight rates, how ever, are protected by an act of Con gie, now in iorce. in order to se cure release it becomes necessary to repeal this act. It is true that the principal Pacific coast organizations have joined hands to secure such a re peal, but this is not enough. We must bring pressure to bear upon our repre sentatives in Congress through our growers, and we should therefore have a letter directed from every Hood River grower to every member of the Oregon congressional delegation, show ing the necessity of relief." Citing the provisions of the law, giv ing the railroads the r itrht to mmm m aggregate net operating income of six per cent per annum on the aggregate value of the railway property held for and used in the services of transporta tion, Mr. Stone in his letter to growers continues : "In determining the value of rail road properties the present owners have caoitalized the huim nf thoir predecessors and even though a given railroad has no potential earning power, is badly located and has no tratfie available, the method of valua tion is such that it may be considered as if it was a going concern. Its ac tual cost of reproduction, now, or its cost of reproduction less depreciation, is the basis on which the revenue is figured. It is equivalent to saying no matter how unwise the luiKinpsa hvfw. ment of the promoters in constructing a railroad through a territory in which there was no tonnam availatilp am) th building of the railroad was not war ranted, yet because the promoters elected to build a road through such a territory it becomes a public charge and must have a rate schedule that would secure a liberal return on a val uation that is wholly fictitious. This applies to railroads that have gone through receivers' hands and which have been bought up for many times less than their actual cost. These bur dens in the end fall on the producers. "In the present rate making the Interstate Commerce Commission ia bound by the provisions of the act and the object of repeal is to return to the Interstate Commerce Commission the power to make rates based on what the product will stand, an authority they formerly enjoyed. When the act is repealed the contest will be trans ferred to the Commission and we will have an opportunity to protest the rates." Stu Rer deba Special-Six UST imagine buying a car like the SPECIAL-SIX at its extreme ly low price with such high quality features as: 0 119-inch wheelbase; 50-h. p. detachable-head motor ; Intermediate transmission with built-in thief -proof lock ; Flexible Coupling; Cord tires, front and rear ; Body of beautiful design ; Upholstery of genuine leather; Gypsy Top with beveled plate glass windows ; Taper Roller Bearings throughout ; Finest Alloy Steels ; High gasoline mileage, even on low grades of fuel. Its performance in owners' hands puts the SPECIAL-SIX in a class by itself among five-passenger cars. It is not only the finest car within hundreds of dollars of its price, but the greatest value on the market among five-passenger automobiles. See this wonderful automobile compare it, point by point, with other cars on the market and we'll rest our case with you.
