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."

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.
