Commissioners All at Sea-

The entire controversy emphasizes
the feeling among politicians that the
commission is still at sea regarding it's
functions. The employment of an ex-
pert to define joint rates is indicative
of a temerity to handle the subject
without the aid of some one familiar
with railroad traffic matters. Members
of the commission have repeatedly
shown that they are free to confess
lack of familiarity with railroad mat
tiers.
There mas never been an opportunity
to question rate ruling of the COM
mission, but this inhibition is given in
the commission law: mo commissioner
shall, while sucn commits
sioner, engage in any occupation or
business inconsistent with mis- duties
as such commissioner" Mr.. McMi1lin
is still president of the Roche Harbor
Lime company, shipper by rail lines
of this state, and Mr.. Lawrence has
wheat interests which make him a
shipper. The question of patrons of
the roads sitting in judgment on rates
that might affect them has not yet been
adjudicated either by the commission
ers themselves or the courts. 1t may be
an interesting point in the coming lit
igation.

DEVELOPMENTS IN
TEST CASE AGAINST THE
o. r. g. N. COMPANY.
Railway Commissioners Are All at Sea
Need an Expert to Direct
Their Proceedings,

The quarrel between the railroad
comission and the attorney general de-
develops the interesting fact that the
commission is proceeding in it's joint
fight without waiting for anyone to en-
ter formal complaint against railroad
rulings. The commission has in
structed a member of the attorney
generals office, selected by itself, to
present a complaint that the commits
sion may nave something to hear.
Business is dull and the commission
will boom things on it's own account,
is the report that comes from the
Sound.
If the statement of the attorney
generals views gives the facts in the
case the railroad commission has moth
ing but common rumor upon which to
base an action. There are no facts of
record, and if the railroads questioned
the statement in the complaint the
railroad commission mas caused to be
drafted that joint rates were refused,
the commissioners would be compelled
to state that someone had told them
such a condition existed.
Complaint Is Defective.
Assistant Attorney General Macdon-
aid, whom the commissioners appear to
nave selected as their own representa-
tive, was designated as the governor
legal adviser That is the nearest he
has approached an appointment by the
attorney general to look after litiga-
ton before the railroad commission.
Attorney General Atkinson has assert
ed it to be his duty to look after the
states legal business, and in refusing
to sign a complaint he knows to be de-
fective, he is only performing that du-
ty, says the Seattle Times.
On it's first trip into eastern Wash
lnSlOIl someone COlO the commissioners
that the railroads refused joint rates
on coal shipments from Rosyln to Col
fax. Someone else told the commits
sion that the o. r. & N. did not pro-
pose to grant any such rates.
On this understanding the commits
sion has decided a hearing is necessary.
At the informal meeting held in Seat
tie the commission decided it would be
advisable before having any hearing
to employ an expert to tell the Mead
appointees what joint rates really are.
Without the necessity Of soliciting
such advice the attorney general has
proffered the suggestion to the COM
mission that it would be we'll to ascer-
tain as well whether the joint rate
issue mad been raised, and to see
whether the railroads really declined to
grant the desired tariff.
