The oregonian has so far had nothing
to say about the bill now pending in the
Oregon legislature, ostensibly designed
TO put a stop to the outrageous exiortion
now practced by the o. r. & y. Com
pany on inland producers Whether the
bill as introduced is intended in good
faith is open to serious question, since
the rate proposed for MAXIMUM charges
is out OF all reasonable proportion. The
question Of freight charges on American
railroads was recently exhaustiyeiy con-
sidered by one Of the New York COM
mercial journals. From tabulated r.
turns gathered and published by that
paper it is shown that the average rate
charged on the middle western. and east
ern roads is q cents per ton for each
1OO-mile haul. The bill proposed at Salem
provides for maximum charge Of one
dollar per ton for each lCO-mile haul
four times as much as the voluntary
charge made by eastern roads. The Ore
gon bill is probably inspired by the rail-
roads, which take this means TO fore
stall movement they know Is impending
and which they hope TO mislead in the
direction Of the least harm TO them
selves The BILL OF course, is open to
amendment, and It is to be hoped that
the Legislature will not act hastily.
but will take steps to investigate the
matter thoroughly before final action.
A prominent railroad Official Is authority
for the statement that the o. p. & N.
Company can haul wheat over its down
grade from Pendleton to Portland, a dis
tance Of 23l miles, at one dollar a ton
and make IS cents a ton profit on its
operating expenses.

Two years before the war Of lSi2
broke out American ships carried sll
per cent OF the total foreign commerce
Of the United States, while only one
ninth Of that proportion is now carried
in American ships. This. in a measure,
explains how I, comes to pass ;ha, in
the year 1885. the tonnage OF American
shipping in the foreign trade IS less BY
iSsooo tons than It wss In iSia. Surely no
patriotic American can look at these
contrasts without deep humiliation.
