RAILROAD
COMMISSION ACTIVE

Some states have railroad commits
slons that are like an extinct volcano
they do not oven smoke. But the
Oregon railroad commission Is only
two-year-old and feels the vigor Of
youth. During the past year II has
revised freight rates ON the o. X.
a. n. lines. reducing them from The
Dalles east. and reduced rates In the
case OF the city OF Milwaukee from
10 cents to 5 cents. Both these de-
cisions are hung up In the higher
courts. IL has the grain rates In
this state under consideration now
and the Wells Fargo and Pacific EX-
press rates, and the subject OF the
physical valuation of railroad prop
critics To ascertain the original
cost of the railroads. the present
values and the market values is a
big undertaking. and the Oregon
commission may ask the legislature
TO give them an engineer 10 check
over these values. The commission
Is composed o. three men well fitted
for the places Campbell, Aichison
and West-the first named. being
chairman OF the board.
