CENTER THE FIRE.

| IF any business man in the city
doubts the ability of the Walla Walla
| Commercial club to attend to the busi-
ness interests of the city, single at
tendance at the club meetings would
surely demonstrate his mistake. The
officers and members of the club have
gone ahead without any crossing OF
| wires, or mixing of factions, and have
accomplished great things already for
this booming city.
Nothing that has spice of merit
as a business proposition, looking to-
ward the advancement of Walla Wall
la commercially, has been overlooked
and the success attained is certainly
deserving of commentator. The VIC
tory in securing better railroad rates;
the pending readjustment of insurance
rates; the floating of the gas and oil
company to prospect for those valua-
BILE commercial adjuncts; the taking
up of the proposition to secure a new
city charter; the active boosting of a
hundred and one other plans for adj
Observation-Disclosures beyond per-
adventure. the activity, resourceful-
ness and capability of the club and its
officials.
In connection with this successful
era of boosting, it is pertinent at this
time to take one more step toward
concentration of our commercial ener-
gy by abolishing that morbid creation
of job getters-the $4,000" club. The
contributions of business men to that
decayed organization are merely
scattering of ammunition, the chief
result of which is to supply an incof1n-
few meal tickets.
Nothing has been accomplished by
the ragged remains of the $4,000
club which now is composed practi-
cally of an isolated secretary, strolling
lonesomely and aimlessly about, trying
to collect an unearned salary and

At one time there appeared to be
hope of the $4,000 club doing some
good for the city. The lamentable
choice of secretary, the lack of bust
ness training and commercial stand
ing, the ability to dissipate the appro-
priatiOns without adequate returns,
have demonstrated it's and his useless
ness.

however the matter may be adjusted
the country is indebted to President
Stickney for his exposure of the I'M

STICKNEY ON RATE MAKING

Mr.. Stickney's exposure of the busi-
ness of railroad rate making not only
reveals how determinations and re-
bates have been made, but empha-
sizes clearly the duty of the interstate
commerce commission to supervise
publication of railroad rates and re-
quire uniformity in the form of pub
LEGATION as we'll as simplicity of state
ment. Mr.. Stickney contends that rate
sheets should be issued substantially
in the same way that official time Ia
bles are published, the old sheet being
taken up and destroyed when a new
rate is made and an entirely new set
of schedules published in it's stead.
What he objects to particularly is
the practice of railroads of issuing sup
Elementary sheets and leaflets without
number modifying existing ratesheets
in various details until the mass of
published matter pertaining to rates is
so great and in the confusion On ac-
count of new rules of application,
changes in classification and special
rates made good for limited periods,
the whole question of rates is so COM
plicated that no one but an expert can
make anything out Of it, says the
Minneapolis Journal
1t is through this system, or rather
lack Of system, of scientific rate MAX
ing that, according to Mr. Stickney's
estimate, rebates to the amount Of a
billion dollars have been allowed to
favored shippers during the last fif-
teen years, while during that time
penalties amounting to only $4,000
have been paid where cases of actual
discrimination have been proven by the
| records.
With such slight chances of the de-
lection and such remote danger OF a
penalty, it is no wonder that the efforts
of the government to prevent discrim-
ination by secret rebates have been
practically without result. The rate
sheets are in such a state of confusion
that even the managers themselves are
often unable to detect determinations
which they might be inclined to avoid,
Mr.. Stickney's remedy is the publ
cation of rates in a book much as the
time cards of the railroads are pub-
llshed in the official railway guides is
sued monthly. and he contends that
the rates can be made to be as easily
ascertained as the time of arrival or
departure of a train.
The chairman of the interstate COM
merce commission admits in general
the truth of President Stickney's
charge of failure on the part of the
commission to require uniformity of
rates and the publication of them in
the manner indicated, but thinks some
modification of the Stickney plan
ought to be adopted to begin with
that instead of requiring the roads to
reprint their entire schedules every
time they made a change they should
| be permitted to issue no more than
five supplementary sheets or amend
ments, after which republication of the
