INTERSTATE COMMISSION HEARS
TESTIMONY
Hill and Hartman Lines in North
west Are Alleged to Have Entered
Into Agreement to Plumber
Mill Owners

BY Associated Press .s
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11,-Rate cases
involving larger financial interests
tban any ever heretofore brought 10
the attention of the interstate COM
merce commission now are being neafo
by the commission.
while only four complaints are IN
oluded directly In the present hearlhs
seven others are dependent upon tne
findings in the pending cases.
In brief the railroad lines OF tHe
vast and northwest determined several
months ago to advance their rates on
manufactured lumber from nor
pacific points, Oregon and Washlhstoti
and Montana, to the east and south.
The rates proposed were made eHec-
two on November / of TINS year. ~
the regular way these rates were hie'
with the interstate commerce colii'his
sion. They showed an increase OIL
from five cents to ten cents hunulcu
mounds on lumber shipped from north-
west Pacific points to eastern points
and a much larger increase from ore
con and Washington points to san
Francisco bay points.
these proposed rates the shippers
declare TO be unjust, unreasonable, uls-
criminatory and prohibitiVe. Ihey as
sert that If these advances III rates are
nut into effect they would have TO go
ont of business. In fact 1t was' stated
in the hearing today that the lumber
mills of Oregon and Washington had
been compelled to close down because
thew were unable to ship their products
on account of the advance in freight
rates.
Advance Unreasonable
One of the complaints alleges an un-
reasonable advance in rates on forest
products from the northwest Pacihc
states to various other points in the
United States and defendants in the
case include the most important lines
Of railway in the west and northwest.
1t was stated in the opening OF the
hearing that the complaints would
nrove that the so-called Hill lines and
Harriman lines had entered into that
combination or conspiracy to advance
the rates on lumber products through
the medium of the transcontinental
freight bureau and that the rates were
made without any reference to COM
petitive or financial conditions.
The former rates in force were de-
clared to be fairly compensatory to the
railroads, while the new rates were de-
cJared to be the result of an unlawful
conspiracy in restraint of trade, and
made for the purpose of extortiag from
the lumber men of the north Pacific
states a large percentage OF their
profits.
The advance in rates was declared to
be abnormal, and it was said they were
put into effect for the purpose OF de-
pressing the price of lumber.

as to the success of the undertakings
as a whole.
Mr.. Maltbie is one of the members
of the newly created Public Service
Commission for Greater New York
This body has the widest powers and
the greatest responsibilities OF any
commission to which the regulation of
corporations has been entrusted up to
this time, in the United States MT.
Maltbie spent six months in Great
Britain supervising the work of the
expert accountants and engineers. lie
gays that municipal operation of public
utilities in Great Britain has passed
the experimental stage. He declares
that the gas and electric plants oper-
ated by municipalities generally give
a superior service at relatively lower
cost, as compared with the privately
owned companies. This condition he
finds to be due principally to the higher
rate of interest and profit and the
greater amount OF liabilities of the
private companies.
BY far the most interesting part OF
Mr.. Maltbie's conclusion, however, il
that actual ownership and operation Is
not necessary for the success OF the
municipal ownership idea He says
that the power to operate, II necessary
or desirable, in many Instances, has
heen rs effective as actual operation

eff one company may be succeeded
only by another or only hedged about
by restrictions, there come times When
action, not repression, is wanted, and
then no remedy Is adequate unless II
be the power of the city TO step In
and operate the undertaking itself. But
the mere fact that 1t has the power
often makes its exercise unnecessary
and what the Britisher desires Is not
the universal adoption of some method
of producing results, but the results
themselves.
The reasons that have led to British
manipulation, Mr. Maltbie finds,
are many. First among them, although
not the most general nor the most i'm
portant, is the desire to secure for
the public the financial profits OF the
undertaking. Second, there Is the de-
sire to Keep the city from being mulot-
"a by private company, and, third,
the general demand for better service
at lower rates lie mentions, also, a
fourth case, which has played a pro-
minent part In the United States, aud

which is not unknown in Great Brit
ain, namely, opposition of privately
operated public utilities companies to
the welfare Of the city. A fifth fact
or has been the belief that municipal
operation would permit the co-ordina-
tion of public services in a way that
is not possible where different services
are operated by private companies.
Edgar and Clark favor some form OF
regulation of private companies rather
than the adoption of the municipal
ownership idea. They declare 1t to be
plainly proved that municipal owner
ship Is productive of many and serious
ills with little or no compensating
good. They hold that the solution
of present difficulties is to be found,
not in municipal ownership and opera
ton of the public utilities, but in the
election of municipal officers who viii
protect the governed against injustice
on the part of individuals or corpora
tons.

But in every way Americans have
kept M with the development of the
interest in the game, which has shown
the most remarkable growth this year.
President Theodore Roosevelt and his
Lawn Tennis Cabinet" both at
Washington and oyster Bay, upon his
finely kept courts, have made it evil
dent that a strenuous President re-
cards the game as worth something.
.But with the spread of the game
throughout the globe the experts OF
this country may well feel elated, as
everywhere there is the effort to play
what is called "the American game.
England has been quick to pattern
the inventive plays Of the leading
Americans, and it is freely said in the
tight little island that the famous
Doherty brothers improved fully 30
per cent after their first visit to this
country. According to their own
statements Holcombe Ward and

them how to lobb. Afterward they

AUTOMOBILES
NOT IN FAVOR

Under new ruling which has just
been issued by the postoffice depart
ment there will be no automobiles
used by carriers on rural routes
throughout the state OF Iowa. The
ruling will not greatly affect the car
riers as but few would be able to
afford the investment required to pur-
chase and maintain an automobile on
the salaries received. The depart
ment In its ruling which has just been
received here holds that man with
an automobile Is an uncertain guam
tity and that while the general de
livery time might be shortened there
would be times when the carrier
might well be day late, Under this
theory the department refuses 10 per
nit the use Of ant0s.
