pected decision will be rendered
some time this month or early in No

Concerning the effect of this de-
claration on part Of the carriers,
Frank II. McCune. rate expert for
the Spokane chamber OF commerce.
in the Spokane case now pending
before the commission, said yester
day:
The law. as interpreted by the
commission. takes cognizance of the
voluntary acts of the transportation
companies in matters Of publication
of rates and protects them in such
act; therefore, II Is reasonable to as
sumo that when they voluntarily af-
firm a principle, long contended for
by the incorporation of such in its
tariffs, that the railways intend their
acts to constitute fair basis at law.
of which the law is supposed to take
full cognizance when all its require
ments are complied with.
"In the adjustment of rates to
Spokane the railway shave been wont
10 contend that a higher rate should
obtain to Spokane from eastern ter
ritories than to the coast, and that
Spokane was entitled to the same
rate on forest products to the east
as the coast. This certainly is an
anomalous pasition. On the other
hand, Spokane has contended that it
is entitled to a lower rate from and
to the east than the coast cities. This
also is a proper contention.
The railways have now settled
the controversy and admitted the
correctness of Spokane's contention
by the publication of S. r. Tariff No.
963, effective November l. fixing a
differental of five cents in favor of
Spokane as against the coast on for
est products eastbound. BY this vol
untary act the railway companies
have established basis of which the
law itself must take cognizance.
This fact can no longer be denied.
No argument can be set aaginst it
TO overthrow it. The principle of
equality is established; in fact, il
may be said it is legalized That
traffiee to and from Spokane and
eastern points can be handled profit

of authority to fix rates This Is re-
garded as one of the results of the
agitation by which the national con
gress last year passed the new inter
state commerce law In some Of the
states. notably Alabama, proposed
railroad legislation was made a cam
paign issue last year. In that state
Braxton Bragg Conner made a cam
paign for the governorship on the
issue of increased powers for the
state railroad commission. He had
served as a member of the commits
sion at a time when the other two
members were classed as ''pro-rail-
road" and for two or three years the
commission divided on all Important
matters before it, two To one, with
Conner in the minority

admit the truth of Spokane con-
tention for a lower basis of aates

the Pacific coast by the publication
Of new tariff, effective Nov. /, on
lumber and forest products for ship

alton, approved by the highest Off

on the threshold of an enormous in

BY litigation and appeal to the ex-

the transportation companies should
recognize the principle OF rate diff

1T must nullify the argument and
testimony as set forth in the Spokane
SAGE as presented by the defendants.
The interpreters of the law must ne
cessarily take cognizance of its acts,
and in the acceptance Of the new tar
if as lawful act of the transporta-
ton companies in affirmation that
Spokane is entitled to lower basis
of rates than the coast the commits
sion will ignore the fundamental
principle involved and decide adj
versely against Spokane. The rail-
ways have enforced the findings OF
the commission in 1892, when it was
ordered that Spokane was entitled to
rates equal to 50 per cent of the
coast rates
I'm view of the litigation now
pending before the commission for
the adjudication of the principle of
lower rates to Spokane than to the
coast, and that the publication of
advanced rates on forest products
would involve the railways in fur

assume that no lesser authority than

by the issuance of such authority
from the highest official it empha-
sizes ilifutable fact that these men
realized it could no longer be main
tanned and that a higher rate to
Spokane than to coast cities was an
equitable adjustment. They must
have known that the publication Of
this lumber tariff would enunciate
the principle for which Spokane is
contending, and that it must have
direct and potent effect on the COM
missioners in guiding them in their
deliberations and findings.
"Whie the publication OF this tar
if will no doubt involve the lumber
interests in litigation and loss, it is
opportune that it's publication an
nounced at tbs time when the CON-
missioners are laboring for decision
in the Spokane rate case, as the vol
untary act of the transportation COM
panies gives hem a basis for deter
mining better than terminal rates for

now established a legal basis from
