MATERIAL REDUCTION IN FREIGHT RATES
 ORDERED
Back Haul Tariffs From Pacific Coast Points Wiped Out and Service Based
 On Long and Short Haul Clause

Prescott and Phoenix railway company and other carriers.
 Inasmuch as the cases generally dovetail into one another, the com mission announces it's decision in two opinions. In brief. the commission takes the view which it took in its opinions of the same eases announced year ago last June. At that time the commission said it would make no order respecting the rates which it suggested might be put into eff. feet until it had had opportunity to determine from reports made to it by the carriers of the probable effect of the suggested rates. Meantime the carriers have submitted to. the com mission their earnings under the old rates and what would have been their earnings under the rates proposed by the commission. These tabulated statements convinced the commission that the rates determined upon by the commission in it's decisions of June :, 1910. are generally fair and reasonable. The commission says that there is no reason why those rates should not now be established.
 "Since the promulgation of that opiniOn,' the commission says, "the fourth section (the long and short haul prOvision) has been amended. h. asmueh as the gravamen of the com plaint of the city of Spokane and to some extent of Salt Lake City was directed against the violation of the fourth section. it is necessary again fa snn,,aro ed fourth section, the relief to which these communicates are entitled can now be granted.
 "The cOmplainants contend that the provisO in the amended section per mitted the committee to authorize in particular instances the charging of a higher rate at the intermediate point. is void as a delegation of leg islative authority; that it had been rejected and the section applied by the commission as though it were an absolute long and short haul, prohibit tion. This contention is not sus- tained.
 "The defendants contend that the only effect of the amendment is to east upon the carriers the burden oI dSSuHliuS the lultldbANc III JuSlAlS ing the higher rate at the interme diate point. If upon investigation it is found that competition exists at the more distant point and not at the intermediate point, the eommis- sion must without further inquiry grant the relief asked for; if no such competition exists it must deny the application. This contention is not sustained.
 "In amending the fourth section by striking out the words similar and conditions, congress intended to invest the commission with authority not only to determine whether a wrong resulted from the disregard for the long and short haul provision, but also to correct that wrong if it was found to exist.
 "In determining whether the ear riers shall be permitted to make the higher intermediate charge the com mission cannot act arbitrarily, bur must apply the principles witch con trol it in the administration of other portions of the act. l. r.rst inquire whether the maintenan"f of the higher intermediate rate VT result

 HEARING
Editor Repeats Story Of Bribery in Illinois
 Legislature
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON. D. C., July 24.- A detailed account of the reputed at tempt to buy enough democratic votes in the Illinois legislature to re-elect Albert J. Hopkins to the United States senate was told on the witness stand before the Lorimer senate in vestigating committee by James Keeley, general manager of the Chi cago Tribune today. The sensation of a day of sensations following Keeley's testimony as to how he happened to buy the confession of Charles A.

Keeley said that the Springfield correspondent of the Tribune and Congressman Copley.
 According to the story told to him, Keeley said that fifteen or twenty democratic votes were to be bought and that Speaker Shurtleff had the names and prices to be paid. The list was headed by Nanny Abrahams, the FBellwether" He said that Shurtleff threatened to suspend roll call if Abrahams voted for Hopkins on the next day. and read the list.

Dy ASSOCldlcu EAcSS.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., July 24.- In what are popularly known anC spoken of as the Pacific Coast cases the Interstate Commerce Commission today ordered a material reduction 1T the freight rates from the east tC points between Denver and the west ern terminals of the transeontinenta railroads The commission recognize: the right of the roads to meet the water competition to coast points buI practically wipes out the back haul rates to the intermountain interior It also lays down the important prin. eiple that it prefers the railroads not to fix the arbitrary market limits and that commercial conditions rather than the will of the traffic managers of the railroads shall control the transcOntinental rates. The decision will affect directly all the rates be- tween Atlantic and Pacific coast points. Hereafter the rates will be governed according to a strict inter pretation of the long and short haul clause
 The net result of the decision will be to give lower rates on all west bound transeontinental traffic to cities in the inter-ROcky Mountain territory. To all intents and pur- poses the back haul rates from Pacific coast terminals to cities in the Rocky Mountain territory are wiped out and the service rendered by the carriers will be paid by shippers sub- stantially on strict interpretation of the long and short haul provision of the existing law.
 The commission holds in the so- called Reno case, that traffic origin ating at Chicago and in Chicago ter ritOry moving under commodity rates may have a rate seven per cent high CT to intermediate points than that imposed on freight originating in Chicago and the Chicago territory destined to the Pacific coast termin- als. From BuffalO-Pittsburg territory the rates may rise above those de- manded from the same points to Pacific coast terminals to the extent of fifteen per sent; while from New York and trunk line territory, trunk rate charges shall not exceed twenty tuIet per cent over GdclIlc cOdSC terminal rates.
 These are the first decisions an- nOunced by the commission in which a definite principle in respect of the long and short haul provision is laid down. While the opinions fully rec ognize the influence of water com petition, to a marked extent they draw line upon indiscriminate "market' competition.
 "The effect of the decisions will be to notify the carriers that they will be allowed to meet water com petition to a reasonable extent, but that the location of markets hereafter will be left more to the play of com mercial causes than to the will of the traffic managers of railways. The cases involved are those of the City of Spokane against the Northern Pa cifie railroad company, known popu- larly as the "Spokane rate ease, [" the commercial club of Salt Lake City against the AtchisOn, Topeka and Santa Fe railway company and others, the railroad commission of Nevada against the Southern Pacific and others, and the Maricopa County Com mereial club against the Santa Fe.
