lines from the railroad is an advant
age of 80 per cen, over the rate
charged by the ailroad. That IS to
say, the boat lines ask the railroad
10 charge on each dollars worth OF
passenger tickets sold 80 cents more
than the charge on the boat lines 1t
is claimed that this is the universal
rule throughout the country where
rail and water lines compete. The
OBJECT of the differential is to equalize
the boats with the superior speed and
convenience of rail travel. A percent-
age OF 80 per cent has been fixed
for years by traffic experts as the
fair amount which should be conced-
ed 10 attain this equality. 1t is
claimed that the fight now going on
on the Columbia river is without PAR
allel in the history OF modern trans
portation. 1t Is said the A. & e.
road is unwilling to abide by the
universally established custom. Is
unwilling, in fact, to allow the boat
lines any differenual. The boat Inns
resent this attitude of the railroad as
manifesting determine ton 10 drive
them out Of business. They insist
that they had their investments made
and were conducting traffic between
Astoria and Portland long before the
a. q c. road was built. They see no
reason why they should sell out to
the a. & C. road and retire from
business, thus closing the river to
navigation and surrendering to that
roao monopoly Of the transportation
business between Astoria and Port
land. They argue that it is not only
unreasonable for the railroad 20 ask
them to suspend their operations, but.
from the peoples standpoint, it would
Be extremely impolltic to allow them
to be forced out Of business. The O.
r. * N Company denies that the
fight between 1t and the railroad
relates or can relate to any other
question than this river differential.
The railroad company lntlmates the
fight has to do with some re-
mote question, The nature of which
ii does not disclose. The dispute
raises an issue which can with the
utmost propriety be made the sub
jeet Of full inquiry by Astoria's
commercial organizations or business
men. Every business interest in AS
toria is sufferer more or less from
the ridiculous passenger rates charged
between Astoria and Portland. If
Astoria is TO be made a suburb Of
Portland 1t might as well sure lder
its independent town organization.
The transportation company respon-
sible for the continuance Of the war
is no friend Of Astoria. In order that
justice may he done in the discussion
of the question, and that proper meas
ures Of retaliation, If necessary, may
be brought TO bear 10 restore normal
trade conditions, steps should be TAX
en- to ascertain the truth Of the stu
alton and TO fix the blame where 1t be-
longs. If Astoria's commercial organ
izations are under such restraints as
forbid their dealing with the matter,
let the business men organize and
send committee to Portland to make
the necessary investigation.
