MoNTANA's JUBILEE YEAR

In urging the propriety of celebrat.
ing the semi-centennial anniversary
of the organization of Montana as a
territory, the Butte Post gives an in.
teresting review of early day history.
Fifty years ago while the north and
south were engaged in that titanic
struggle on which the fate of the ma
ton depended the territory of Mon
tana was born. Gettysburg had been
fought and won by the union army,
but the tide had not yet turned in a
decisive way. The confederacy was
not beaten; there still remained the
chance that the stars and bars
would prevail. At this period the at
titude of the northwest was important.
Removed by vast distance from the
scene of conflict, it yet was debatable
ground. For while 1t was northern
territory its population included many
s~outherners, many of whom hoped
that the cause of the confederation
would prevail. The possibility that
the northwest, or portions of it, would
join the south, in the event the rebel
armies carried the stars and bars
north of the Mason and Dixon line,
was ever present at Washington. The
government, however, had more i'm.
portant matters to command its at.
tention. It could only rely upon the
loyalty of the pioneers of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho to preserve
the territory to the flag.
This was the situation when Sidney
Edgerton, formerly of Ohio. who in
1868 had been appointed chief justice
of the territory of Idaho, went to
Washington to petition congress to
create the territory Of Montana. He
had been selected by the people for
that task and very well he performed
his mission. Idaho then included

OFFICIAL PAPER OF cHOUTEAU COUNTY
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY IA, 1914
RAILROADS AND THE PUBLIC

An order recently made by the state
railroad commission, which contem-
plates a substantial reduction of dis.
tributing rates in Montana, is the sub
ject of newspaper comment in various
parts of the state. The action of the
commission is commended by some of
these newspapers as a relief from
charges that are unreasonably high,
while others express the opinion that
the proposed rates will deprive the
railroads of revenue that is necessary
to make their business profitable.
One of the propositions advanced by
opponents Of the proposed lower rates
declares that the smaller compensa-
ton will discourage railroad develop
ment in Montana. 1t is intimated that,
by allowing the high rates to remain
in effect, the railroads will be tempted
to seek Montana business, and after
enticing them to enter the state to
share in the large profits of the trans
p~ortation business, it will be time to
cut the rates to a more reasonable
basis.
It is foolish to assume, however,
that astute railroad managers a be
deceived by such a confidence game.
They know the conditions, and will
govern themselves accordingly. They
will seek business in Montana and 9TH
er states in which prospects favor
profitable returns, and will have ade-
quate protection against any order Of
q state commission or enactment by
a legislative assembly that deprives
them of a reasonable return upon
their investment.
The rate reduction recently ordered
by the Montana railroad commission
is said to call for charges that are 26
per cent lower than those in effect in
the state of Washington, but which
are 10 per cent higher than rates for
similar service in North Dakota. If
this comparison is correct it indi-
Gates a wide discrepancy in local
freight rates in these two states, by
railroads that do business in each ot
them. 1t would be interesting to learl
why a shipper in Washington SHOULD
pay about IS per cent. more for a hau.
of 100 miles, than is paid for a simil
ar service in North Dakota.
AS to the proposed new rates in
Montana, the state railroad commits.
sion is said to claim it is prepared to
defend it's action and prove that the
reduced charges are reasonable and
just. This allegation is contested by
the railroads affected, with the init
nation that the matter will be ap
pealed to the courts. In such event
1t will be up to each party to the con
troversy to present evidence to sus
tain it's position.
There is no disposition or desire
among the general public to treat thu
railroads unfairly; they are a neces
sary element in the promotion of til,
general welfare, and are entitled to
square deal. Some of them, it mus
be admitted, are not in good reput,
by cas- of the methods in vogu,
years ago when there was little pro
lection to the public against unjus
charges and determinations, but tn,
past should be forgotten and bushes,
relations be established between tn,
railroads and the public that are baset
upon absolute fairness to each inter
est affected.
