IHE announcement of fen ner
cent reduction of freight rates on
grain is most gratifying to the pro-
ducers of the inland empire, as it
puts the rates one step nearer the
point our people consider fair and
equable. There is of course a limit
to which the railroad company can
go III reducing the rates, just as
there is limit to the rate the far
mer can pay and yet make a profit
on his crop, and this reduction
brings us just that much nearer to
the happy medium where the trans
portation company can make the
haul to tide water at a fair profit,
and yet leave some margin of profit
tor the producer. And commendable
as is this conference of the railroad
magnates and the farmers, and as
appreciate as is this reduction, we
tail to see that it in any way re-
lleves the necessity for, or the ben
etits to be derived from a railway
commission along the lines advo-
Gated by Governor Mcbride. The
transportation companies have moth
ing to fear from a commission.
While it will have the power to re-
ducerates if they prove extortionate,
1t would investigate every phase of
the rate question to the end that all
interested parties be given exact JUS
tice. A commission is not neces-
sarily antagonistic to railway inter
ests. 1t serves more as a compen-
sator of friction between the com
mon carrier and the people.
