|OA receives praise for the
EzsSA1 selection of the Alaska
'Views En- Route to
the Klondike," as the papers
to its yearly subscribers.
This edition is the first to appear
IN the West, and although great
haste was made in printing and
binding the book, it's a marvel Of
neatness and taste in binding, and
the half-tones are better than any
book printed the last year. It
is not required that you be a
"boomer" for the KIondike to
this work. The actual
scenery Of the country, with its
wild passes and trails, is pre-
scented faithfully--no retouching
is done to make the route appa-
rent,y more easy to travel. The
pictures do not lie. You will
find pictured

4 valued contemporary. discussing
railroad rates, rises TO remark that the
posi-fnteilIsencer in recent article un-
derstated the difference between the
Eastern and Washington state sched-
ule, and maintains that the farmers Of
the Pacific Northwest are paying the
railroads six times as much as is paid
for the same service between Chicago
however. that conditions are not the
same, and that the Cascade mountain
haul Increases heaviIy-probably dou-
bies-the cost OF train operation In this
country. But. even then, It is certain
that an enormous margin Of profit re-
mains to the railroads, and that the
grain schedule should be materially
lowered
The truth is that the Washington
farmer and shipper Is made TO pay an
excessive figure on his goods and prod
nets 10 compensate the railroad for its
improbable haul through states like
Idaho. Montana and North Dakota.
All this is most unfair and unjust. and,
under recent decision Of the United
States court In a Nebraska case. cannot
be taken into consideration by the court,
and need not be by "A state legislature,
In determining what is an equitable
freight rate. Broadly stated. the courts
will protect a railroad against legis-
lative enactment that scales freights
and fares down 10 an Improbable
point; but the terms of the statute need
contemplate only the railroad situation
within the one state. and disregard
wholly the needs and conditions of the
same railroad SYSTEM In an adjoining
state.
II will therefore be incumbent on the
next Washington legislature 10 sscer-
tain as nearly as possible the expense
of railroad operation within this state,
To make allowance for a fair margin
of profit. and To fix a minimum grain
rate accordingly. The question of
reasonable passenger fares may like
wise be profitabiy considered
