On Alberta Ave. Dial 372-2251 Nyssa, Oregon Freight Rates Are Based On Railroad Costs Old Oregon Law Now Inflates Railroad Costs All railroad freight rates are subject to approval of the Interstate Commerce Commission which can investi gate, suspend, and in some instances prescribe specific rates. Since the Interstate Commerce Act was amended in 1958, the primary consideration of the I.C.C. in arriving at rate case decisions has been actual railroad operating costs. The operating costs of Oregon railroads today are in flated by about $5,000,000 each year for unneeded firemen and brakemen required on freight trains by the 1913 Oregon Excess Crew Law. Repeal of this ob solete law is now being considered by the 1965 Oregon Legislature. It puts an unnecessary cost burden on every consumer and shipper in our state. In all the nation only four other states still have laws requiring six-man crews on freight trains. Remove this handicap to Oregon's industrial growth THE RAILROADS OF OREGON Dr. B. E.
