Commission Has No Objection to
Railroads Reducing Tariffs
DEMAND FAVOR FOR WALLA WAA
IL PLAN is CARRIED OUT REVE-
NUE. OF RAILROADS WILL BE
CUT DOWN $1,000, 900.

The state railroad commission will
not undertake to enforce the distribu-
ting rates that are soon to be promul-
gated. A departure from the published
tariffs to afford protection to jObbing
centers will be permitted. through a
policy of ignoring reductions. Such
a stipulation cannot be entered into by
the commission, but the roads have been
definitely informed that the commits
sion will be satisfied when a distance
tariff is promulgated if exceptions are
announced which will favor the big
jobbing centers.
1t is demanded by the commission
that the jobbing rates shall all read
between" certain points. instead OF
from the jobbing centers. At Seat
tie, Tacoma and other west-side job
bling centers such schedules prevail. At
Spokane the rates read from the
Falls City, and on shipments into
Spokane the rates are considerably
higher.
Members of the railroad commits
sion claim that the roads would lose
nothing by making the rates in both
directions Identical. 1t is argued that
the commodities the rates cover could
Oh; ,Vf~ fIn inh
tiers, save in isolated cases and that by
removing the alleged discrimination
better feeling would result without
any loss in revenue to the roads.
The demand is made by the railroad
commission that the roads change the
Spokane tariff and give jobbing rates,
slightly higher, to Walla Walla. A
distance tariff is also specified and the
commission wants a reduction Of ap-
proximately 40 per cent.
1t is estimated not more than 25 per
cent of the traffic in the state would
be affected by a reduction in the dis
lance tariffs. Everything else is COW
cred by exceptions and special class
rates. The proposed reduction, how
ever, would mean a loss of about ST.
100000 in revenue to the Hill and Har-
riman lines
The Portland compromise the roads
offered was to raise Spokane distrib-
uting rates slightly; promulgate a
general distance tariff and give Wal
la Walla distributing rates lower than
the distance tariff. but slightly higher
than Spokane's. This has been re-
jected.

Alcohol as a Fuel.


NEW. YORK, July 23.-An investi-
cation into the possibilities of alcohol
as a fuel in small gas engines is about
to be begun by Prof. Charles Lucke, of
Columbia university, for the United
States department of agriculture in the
laboratories at Columbia.
At the last session of congress the
internal revenue tax was removed
from denatured alcohol so as to permit
of its use for industrial purposes. This
law goes into effect January 1, 1907.
AS a result it is expected that very
large quantities of this alcohol will
be used for small engines. 1t is ex-
pected that this will increase the pro-
ducts Of the farm, nearly all of which
can be utilized for alcohol manufac-
ture.
Professor Lucke will collect the re-
suits Of the experiments conducted on
the use of alcohol in engines which
have been carried out, both here and
abroad, and will expand the informa
ton by further experiments. All of
this data will be issued by the de-
partment of agriculture in the form of
bulletin for free distribution this
winter

is one of the best known officers of his
corps, and was for a long time on duty
in the bureau of yards and docks as
an expert in ventilation and heating,
and as such had charge of the specifi-
cations relating to those features of
the buildings erected at navy yards
and stations. He has been on duty at
the naval academy for a year or more,
and is eminently fitted to succeed to
the place at the head of the depart
ment of English and law, in which
Professor Rawson has attained consid-
cradle distinction.

100 pounds. Local railroad men say
they do not remember White. The
amount of the estate awaiting White
was not stated by Chief Frans but that
it is considerable is evidenced by the

aloft her torch she has been exposed
to the salt winds of the Atlantic. and
their action has begun to affect her

That Will Be Next Move Of Rail.
way Commission.
IS NOW PLANNING FOR MOVEMENT
CLAIM THAT THE MAXIMUM TAR
IFF is EXCESSIVE FROM
EASTERN WASHINGTON.

The next question that the state
railroad commission will take up is
rates between the wheat localities and
tide water. The reduction that will
be asked is from 1914 cents to ap-
proximately 17H cents. Plans for
making the demand have not yet been
fully matured. but the commission is
devoting much time to the question.
The commission claims that the
maximum rate can be shown to be ex-
cessive without much trouble. After
the order of the commission resulting
from the Colfax and Walla Walla
hearing is promulgated, the commits
sion believes that it can force a re-
duction
The commission contends that about
80 per cent of the grain moved in
Washington is moved under the max
imum rate From Walla Walla to Sc
attic the rate is 15A cents. Rates to
Bellingham and Grays Harbor country
is 2k cents higher than the rate to
Seattle. Grain is moved from the Pa
louise country and from the Spokane
belt below the maximum rate. The
present wheat rates were promulgated
more than four years ago, when ]. ].
Hill of the Great Northern, c. S.
Mellen of the Northern Pacific and A.
L. Mohler of the o. r. &, n. met the
farmers of eastern Washington and
approved a 10 per cent reduction. The
reduction was part of the plans Of j.
]. Hill to offset the widespread de-
mand among west side politicians for
radical railroad legislation. Traffic Of
ficials on the west end of both the
Hill and Hartman lines opposed the
reduction at the time it was made.
At the next session of the legis-
lature, when the railroad question was
agitated again, the attorneys for the
railroads declared that the grain rates
had reached the minimum point and
that if the legislature attempted any
further reduction the matter would be
carried into the courts.
Although the commission considers
this a favorable time to make it's de-
mand. it does not overlook the politi-
cal effect Of saving the reduction as
a campaign issue for the next cam
paign. 1t would be valueless, as the
east side has never taken the railroad
commission seriously.
If demand for a rate reduction was
made just before the campaign opens
many willy politicians declare it would
catch many votes on the other side of
the mountains. However this may be,
the commission is giving the proposed
demand for rate reduction serious
thought. They consider it a strong
card, and as they have run out of
business may make the demand at any
time.
