all to combine and work to this one
end. AS lar as We are concerned
We do not want to see the railroads
treated unfairly bu' We want them to
treat us square and We are not under
any obligations to them in the way

ing a county or state Office SO that W.
might be able TO ride on a pass, nor
are we asking any special favors

fair deal with all which will allow
every one 10 enjoy the same rights.
The larger cities have been and
are now making a strong tight to
have the rates properly adjusted and
have accomplished much good along
these linrs. and there is no reason
why the smaller places should not
combine and work to accomplish
some good for themselves, as they
ave the ones who contribute the
biggest per cent towards the big
dividends of the railroads.

THURSDAY. JUNE "A. 1909

The steps taken by the hardware
dealers in this section of the state to
get more equitable adjustment of
the freight rates on this AMI Camrs
prairies, will if followed up result in
a benefit to all the people residing in
the effected country. These excessive
freight rates extend, not only to the
hardware men and the merchants,
but to all the farmers and every Que
living on these two prairies. If the
hardware dealer or the merchant
has to pay more freight the consumer
will have TO pay more for his goods.
II the farmer has to pay more for
shipping his stock out OF here he has
to ,as~ less amount for his stock or
in others words Re has 10 deduct the
freight rate from the price of his
stock in order to compete with thu
stock that arrives at the same place
that have been shipped from points
where this rate is less. There is no
question affecting the country more
than this one at the present time and
there is no question in which all the
people should be more deeply in
terested.
The operation of the railroad in
discriminating against points like
this and Camas prairie affords some
of the strongest reasons Why We
should have railroad commission
or some sort of legislation in order To
prohibit such unjust discrimination
and prohibitive freight rates. For
example the way the roads work
these outside points or inland towns
We cite the following facts and COM
parsons It costs more to ship a car
load of twine from Portland, Oregon
10 Grangeville. this state, distance
less than FIVE hundred miles, than it
hoes to ship the same car from Ply
mouth, Massachusetts, to Port
and Oregon a distance of about
3 900 miles. Take the rate on stock
shipped from Grangeville to any
point on the outside and you will
ind that they are charging twenty
iour dollars more for a car from
hat place than they do from Sites.
Town on the Clearwater line, where
he distance is almost the same.
We might go on and compare
'ther rates and show how badly We
IRE being Disseminated against, but
his is sufficient to convince any one
We are not getting square deal and
