The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1911-12-23

IdTiuCrS VI OICNCHS COUNTY, LUZ
many months the Examiner has been
engaged in an effort to get ust
railroad rates on the S. F. & N.
branch of the Great Northern which
runs through Stevens county. The
railroad, and the railroad commits
sion, have been asked to give this
section justice in rates. So far we
have received nothing-in considera-
BILE quantities.
Do you realize that this fight is
for the FARMERS?. 1t is not for
the merchants-they will not gain di-
rectly gain by lower rates. Do you
realize that all taxation comes from
the workers = the producers-the
bedrock of our social system? When
tax is levied, the PRODUCER
pays it either directly or indirectly,
or both-mostly both. The middle
men may seem to pay a part of it,
but they collect it back again from
the producer.
So here is the present case. The
merchants and business men are the
ones now most directly engaged in
pushing this fight for lower rates
not for their own personal direct
benefit, but that this country may
open up, populate, produce, and
thrive, and that they may sell cheap
er and compete with other selling
points.
How can the farmers help? Sup
pose every resident of Stevens coun-
ty refused to travel over the Great
Northern line east and west from
Spokane? Suppose every farmer re-
fused to buy anv goods shipped in
over the Great Northern east or west
from Spokane? What would happen?
Don't you think Jim Hill would be
here in hurry with the lower rates?
Don't you know that financial pres
sure will do things that pleadings
and tears will not bring?
This railroad makes Stevens coun-
ty producers pay an average of 32
per cent more freight on everything
shipped in here, than any road in
any other part of the state equally
distant from Spokane. YOU, the
farmer, are paying this 32 per cent.
Who gives it back to your Do you
get it back in increased prices for
your products? (Laughter.)
The wholesaler pays it first; he
gets it back from the retailer, who
gets it back from the customer, who
GETS it back from the producer or
farmer-who gets it in the neck
every time.
This is your fight, farmers. You
are paying this 32 per cent, and no
one else. What are you doing to-
ward getting the rate cut? Have
you written the railroad commission.
which is in power by grace of your
republican governor? Have you told
the Great Northern officials what you
think of it, and what you intend to
do? Have you told your merchant
how he must ship his goods in order
to retain your trade? Have you told
your neighbor about your fight for
justice? If you have not, you have
not done your part. The farmer of
this nation cannot expect aid to come
to him without effort on his part, and
the knowledge of this fact is the
cause of the great grange movement
which is uniting the farmers of this
country into unit for protection and
betterment.
Now these are plain facts. Stevens
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1911-12-23

The facts in the freight rate
case are easily shown in the
following simple table, which
gives the freight classification,
the price in cents per 100 pounds
from Spokane to Colville on the
S. F. & N, the price in cents per
100 pounds from Spokane west
ward on the Great Northern, and
the price in cents per 100 pounds
out of Spokane on the Northern
Pacific. The average is 30%
discrimination against Colville:
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1911-12-23

This discrimination against Col
vile shows that the Great North
ern and it's grating tributary
the S. F. & N. have no time for
Colville or for Colville's inter-
ests. And inasmuch as the same
rate of discrimination is applied
to EVERY station in Stevens
county by the S. F. & NJ, the
Stevens county people can see
just how dearly the Great North
ern loves Stevens county-and
Stevens county's money.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1911-12-23

enables Jim Hill to carry on the war
fare before the state railroad commits
sion whereby he keeps the present
exorbitant rates in effect, at the same
time retaining a comfortable margin
in Great Northern dividends. Is it
any wonder that Colville people re-
fuse to buy across-country passenger
tickets on his corresponding line?

Paris, Sept. Claude Casimir Pc
rier, son of the former president of
the republic, is making campaign in
favor of substituting Brest for Havre
as the French port for steamers
from the United States. He admits
that the inferior place held by French
steamers in Atlantic traffic is due to
the activities of the Germans and
English in building larger and faster
steamers but contends thatthe French
could better their position by reducing
the distance between France and New
York which a change to the more
westerly Brest would bring about.
The distance from Brest to Paris Is
considerably longer than that between
Hare and Paris. Nevertheless, NJ.
Perier declares, the Inauguration of
series Of fast express trains would
notably decrease the existing train
voyage and the total saving of time
between Paris and New York would
DC at once a distinct advantage to
French Transatlantic travelling.

PENSION BOARDS
MEET MONDAY
Mississippi is Most Liberal in Caring
For Her Old Soldiers.

The county boards of pension en-
aminers will meet in the seventy
eight counties of the state next Mon
day for the purpose of revising the
pension rolls and passing on new ap.
plications.
1t will not be necessary for pension
ers now on the rolls to submit new
applications. Pensioners who have
died since last year will be stricken
from the rolls, and new applications
considered.
Mississippi's annual appropriation
for pensioners is 100000, and there
are now 5000 pensioners on the rolls.
1t is quite likely that there will be a
considerable increase this year, as the
veterans are growing aged and in
digent, the number OF applications
from year to year exceeding the re-
movals caused by death.
