COMMISSION, IF UPHELD, WILL
BE A GREAT BENEFIT TO IN.
LAND TOWNS.

Spokane, Wash, June 26.-Commer-
cial bodies in interior cities and towns
west of the Missouri river and south OF
the Canadian border to Mexico have
been invited by the interstate COM
merces committee Of the Spokane
chamber of commerce to organize for
the purpose of resisting the efforts OF
the transcontinental railroads to upset
the recent decision of the interstate
commerce commission in the Spokane
rate case, also to send delegates to the
hearing in Washington, D. c. 1t
is declared that. If upheld. the ruling
by the commission will furnish pre-
cedent for every inland city to obtain
reductions on excessive freight rates,
and will also revolutionize rate making
all over the country.
Shippers in Spokane are paying on
west bound shipments from Chicago
and Missouri river points. the rate to
the Pacific coast, plus the rate back
to Spokane. They have been doing this
the last 20 years. and believe they are
entitled to coast rates at least, while
others insist that the charges should
be placed upon a service basis. regard
less Of so called water competition.
The establishment Of coast rates
would save the shippers in interior
western cities millions of dollars each
year.
| Service is all that can be legally
charged for" said A. w. Doland. chair
man of the committee. "and by this
rule the shorter haul would get the
lesser freight rate. Railroads are COM
mercial ventures. However, in effect,
the government is subsfdixing roads
running to the Pacific coast to enable
them to compete with the boats, and
thus 1t is assisting them in driving the
shipping OF this country off the water.
The government Is virtually subsidiz-
ing tho railroads by allowing them to
tax the people Of inland cities with un-
just freight rates to enable them to
fight the shipping interests success
fully.
