MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.

Walla Walla, La Grande and othe'
towns of the Inland Empire with
ambition to become distributing
points. or TO secure for their mer-
chants the lowest rates from East
ern points, are joining in with spo
kane in the great fight for justice to
the inter-moIn ain region. THESE
towns are becoming parties with Spo
kane in the big suit that is to be
heard TO determine the justice Of the
demands made by Spokane, ant
which were partially decided in hei
favor a few months ago. If Spokane
wins in the big hearing, all towns
that join in the suit will surely
be named as beneficiaries of the
lower rates as well as Spokane.
The present status of the fight
and the great interests at stake ar,
admirably set foth in this editoria
from the Spoke e3man-Review, headed
"A Million Dollars a Year:
A Mi lion Dollars Year.
If the Inland Empire had termina
rates its freight bill on merchandise
shipped from the east would be Gu
down 81 100000 a year In the last ~
years the people of the Inland En-
pire have paid out, at conservative
calculation, $4,000, 900 in excessive
rates on shipments from the east
alone.
If it should cost Spokane $780,
to carry to s1cce issul completion its
| fight before tle interstate commerce
commission the cost would be but a
fraction of what this city pays every
year in exces iiye freight rates.
But the sums a. a.tually paid in ex-
cess of reasonable charges are only
small part OF the real cost of un-
just rates levied upon this city and
the slrro olnding country. Discrimi
nation in favor OF the Coast cities
throttles business in the interior,
makes slow growth for the country's
Industries and prohibits in a large
measure the building up of manufact-
uring.
In the course o. the last 10 years
hundreds of manufacturers who con-
templated the building of plants in
the Pacific northwest have come into
the Inland Empire and found the
field inviting, but, when their investi-
CATION showed that freight rates
were burdensome. went on to the
Coast and located there.
Railroad discrimination. and moth
ing else, has put two-thirds of the
population of Washington state upon
less than one-third of the states
area west of the Cascade mountains.
Eastern Washington has the agri-
cultural wealth; it grows 80 per cent
of the states wheat yie'd; it has all
the rich irrigat I'd lands, the big CON-
mercial orchar,s. the live stock and
the mineral we lth, but these re-
sources have been handicapped by ex
cessive and di eliminating freight
rates.
