Spokane Shippers Plan to Demand Re-
fund Of ROndS

Demand $2,000,000 excess freight paid
by Spokane and Inland Empire shippers
during the last two years, from the
trauscontinental railroads.
Carry the claims to the interstate
commerce commission and through the
federal courts until a final favorable
decision Is received.
Invite all intermountain cities and
communities in the United States
which, like Spokane, are paying un-
reasonable and discriminatory rates, to
join in the movement.
THIS Is the ambitions and aggressive
program planned by Attorney II. NJ.
Stephens and approved by the Spo-
Kane Merchants Association which
has been offered to al shippers of
Spokane and the Inland Empire, ire
spectivs of their membership in the
merchants association.
"It means carry the fight into the
enemy's territory and making the rail-
roads pay for the delay they have
caused in the final decision of the Spo-
kane rate case, said A. w. Doland.
chairman of the joint rate committees
of the Spokane Merchants Association
and Spokane Chamber of Commerce.
1.-The Merchants Association Will
handle the claims of all shippers on
a reasonable contingent basis, the same
basis on which claims of its own mem
bers Will be handled Attorney Ste
phens will take charge Of all claims.
The fight will not cost shippers cent
unless the association is successful.
There Is no reason why every city
and community of the intermountain
country. situated like Spokane and the
Inland Empire and compelled to pay
unreasonable and discriminatory rates
for a mythical 'backhaul,' should not
inaugurate q similar fight for repara-
tion."
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1911-12-23
Little Talk Ivy Red Top
TO THE FARMERS
1.-THE PRODUCERS

county people have a right to live
here without being fined for it. The
Great Northern travelling freight
agent, Jno. C. Maher, was here this
week trying to keep the merchants
from throwing their shipments to
other lines, but the merchants stood
firm; nothing doing for the Great
Northern. We must stand firm, to
win. The Great Northern wants us
to keep quiet until the commission
has given formal notice to the rail-
r2od, and then until the railroad has
decided what it will do. In other
words, it wants us to be good, keep
on paying this 3R per cent extra
pocket money for Jim, until some
thing happens, perhaps, maybe, in
The dim and distant future when the
wheels unwind their red tape and
bring deliverance IN promises. Looks
good-only it don't.
After nearly seven months the
railroad commission has offered us
nothing but the assurance of it's aid
and rough draft of the proposed
change. No official order has been
made to the Great Northern road,
and that road of course will do moth
ing until it is fArced to-either by the
commission, or by us. WHY NOT
BY US?
The points in the Palouse country
served by the Northern Pacific charge
$1.95 per 100 pounds for first class
freight from Seattle, Tacoma, Port
land and Everett. Colville, from the
same points, is Obliged to pay into
