Portland.

The statement is seriously made that
since Portland is on parity as TO rail-
road rates with Puget sound she has no
interest in joining with Astoria to force
concessions from the gigantic railroad
combination now holding the entire
Northwest in a dead cinch. How such
a claim as this can be put forth is a
mystery TO every discerning mind She
may have equal railway rates with Sc
attic and Tacoma II is true but is this
all she is entitled to claim for the ad-
vantages Of her position and relation
in point of distance and railway grades
with the interior area Of production?
What compensation. in other words. does
Portland receive for the rights she
gives up in accepting a parity OF rail-
way rates with the Sound? The fact is.
with everything else equal, Portland
should not be content with a mere
equality Of railroad rates with the Sound.
There certainly must be something
wrong with the influences now controll-
ing the trade organizations and COM
mercial policies of that town. What is
the matter with her people that they
are so blind as not to see this? Is II
because not reading them In the Ore
gonian they do not know or believe
these facts? But, assuming that Port
land is entitled to claim no more than
equal railway rates with the Sound. does
this place her on a Commercial" parity
with the Sound. so that her business
men have no '1nterest" in changing rail-
way and other existing conditions? Let
us see. Portland gives up the advant-
ages OF her geographical position and
permits Seattle and Tacoma TO enjoy a
parity with her on railway transporta-
tion. She gets in return for this-nothlng.
But what do Seattle and Tacoma
get in this mastery adjustment Of
what ahe oregonian pronounces
railroad prOpOsition?" We will let the
Tacoma Ledger answer this question.
