RATE HEARING
IN SPOKANE
Interstate Commerce Commission
Gives Notice

Spokane, Wash, Dec. THE
hearing by the Interstate Commerce
commission of Spokane's claim that
the Inland Empire is being discrim.
mated against by railroads in favor
of Portland, Seattle and other Puget
sound points will be held in this city
some time between the middle and
the latter part of January. Members
of the commission will hold a session
in Spokane and receive testimony as
to The validity of the claim, and
plans are already under way for the
meeting.
E. M. Stephens, the attorney rep
resenting the chamber of commerce
in its battle to have the Inland EN- !.
pire's rights recognized by the rail-
road companies and secure for this
section of the state terminal rates in
equality with coast cities, has receiv-
ed letter from Chairman Knapp of
the Interstate Commerce commission
which indicates in general way that
members of the commission will make
a western trip in January and will
be in Spokane that month. The en-
tire membership of the commission
will not undertake the trip and but
two or three members will be here.
Sessions are to be held in Spokane,
Portland and Seattle, and meeting
will be held in Denver, the Colorado
metropolis having a claim up for in,
vestigation.
1t will be shown by the Chamber Of
Commerce, which is battling for the
Inland as a whole, that the railroads
have been taxing Inland Empire
points with the same rate from east
ern points as is charged to the coas
cities, plus the return rate from thu
coast. They will not ask a lower
rate than that given the coast cities
but will insist on receiving the sam
rate.
