Early In tbe winter of1916 the
business men of this city, thru the
Klamath Commercial Club and the
Business Men's Association commenc
ed an action at San Francisco for an
alleged discrimination of class, rates
over the branch line from Weed-to
Klamath Falls.
The case was heard before the Cal
ifornia State Commission, and a ma
terial reduction of the rates was or
dered. A number of moves were tak
en by the Southern Pactle eompaay
to have this verdict set aside and to
delay tbe rates from going Into ef
fect. In sgite of this opposition, how
ever, tbe new rates weredeclared,
but as tbe matter was decided' before
the California Commission, its Juris- .
diction only' extended to the state
line, and while the tariff reductions
were put nto effect all the way- up,
Including Dorrla;?" Klamath Falls,
twenty miles amrtb, was over the
state line, the railroad, company re- ,
fused to grant proportionate rates to?
this point.
As the rate reductions, ordered by1
the commission were In some cases as
high as 40 per cent, and aa most of.
tbe shipping over tbelocal branch Is
made to Klamath Falls, the reason
for the company's action in this mat
ter was believed to be,obvlous.(
Tbe case was thereupon appealed
to the Interstate Commerce Comml-
slon, and will now be heard at Klam
