CIRCUIT COURT DECISION
is ADVERSE.

The circuit court decision In the
famous Missouri River rate case, made
public yesterday, Is a setback for the
Salt Lake commercial bureau which
has appealed to the Interstate Com
merce commission, and is an uphold
ing of the railroad contention. as the
points decided bear directly on the
Salt Lake grievances.
The railroad people, in the Salt Lake
case, defend their rates, by claiming
that, for example, on a commodity
shipped from Pittsburgh 10 Salt Lake
City, the rate Is perhaps a comblna-
tion of the rate from Pittsburgh TO
Chicago plus the rate from Chicago
to the Missouri river, plus the rate
from the Missouri river TO Salt Lake
City. AS a rule. the sum of these
local rates Is less than the SUM OF the
rate from the East TO the Pacific Coast
plus the local rate from the Pacific
Coast back TO the inland point But
ii the rail lines make q reduced
through commodity rate TO meet
water competition it may happen that
the new through rate from New York.
or Pittsburgh or Chicago TO the coast
plus the local rate back to Salt Lake
City for example. Will be lower than
the combination OF the local rates dl-
rect 10 Salt Lake City.
The Railroad Gazette, speaking of
the salt Lake complaint. says:
There are through aIl-rail rates
from the Atlantic seaboard TO the Pa
ciAc coast. There arc also through
watcr-and-rail rates from the Atlantic
seaboard through the Atlantic and
Gulf ports TO western inland points.
1t Will naturally be asked why through
nll-rail rates are not also made from
the East to western inland polnts bas-
Ing on Pacific Coast terminals The
reason Is this: The lines east of Chi
cago and the Mississippi river ac-
ceDt very low proportions on traG C
destined to tho Pacific Coast They
do this because unless low rates are
made to the coast the traffic viii move
by water, But traffic from tho East to
Utah, cannot move by water-at least,
not all the way. Consequently the
eastern roads refuse To unite with the
western roads In making through all
rail- rates TO points in these and other
interior western states, but insist on
having their local rates. or proportion
al rates only slightly lower, to tho up
per Mississippi crossings. Tho stand
of tho eastern roads seems Justih-
able. Since they take thls stand. tho
western roads naturally desire to
maintain their local rates, also, for If
they did not thoy would have TO alb
