RATES ARE SUSTAINED.
Judge WoIverton UphoIds Oregon
Railroad Commission.


Portland, Sept. 29.-Laws establish
ing the Oregon State Railroad com
mission and the schedule of railroad
rates established by that body, were
declared valid in a decision handed
down yesterday morning by Judge
Wolverton, of the Federal court.
One important result of this decision
will be to force the Oregon Railroad &
Navigation company to refund about
Ia per cent of the money the company
has collected while the case decided
yesterday before Judge Wolverton has
been pending, since May 26, 1908, for
freight carried between Oregon sta
tions.
Judge Wolverton's decision was in
the form of an order dissolving the
temporary injunction granted the Ore
gon Railroad & Navigation company
preventing the commission from enforc-
ing its schedule of rates within the
limits of the state. The restraining
order was requested on the assertion
by the company that the Railroad COM
mission was organized in violation of
the state constitution and that the
rates established by it would influence
interstate commerce illegally.
1t has been charged by the company
that the penalties provided by the
State Railroad commission were exor-
bitant, but Judge Wolverton did not
agree with this statement. He had
compared the penalties in question
with those in other traffic laws and
was unable to find that the Oregon
penalties were unjust.
