WHEREIN BUSINESS ASSAULTED?
Evening Telegram1


Business men, and especially those
engaged in the conduct of large af-
fairs. have been insisting for three or
four years that the one legislative need
of the time was the amendment of
the sherman act. They averred that
under that act and its Interpretation
in the courts, they did not know
where they were. Congress under
takes to oblige business men, and es-
pecially those engaged in the conduct
of large affairs. 1t essays to enact
trust laws that will be definite, clear
cut and that will strike at unjust anl
hurtful monopoly. Are the business
men, and especially the big fellows,
satisfied? obviously not.
Quite to the contrary, there is an
industriously stimulated and circulat-
ed outcry against an alleged assault
upon business. The business man
who has not heard of it is off the main
line of business communication. If
he has not realized that he in common
with the rest of the country is in
danger. he is notified by the men on
the watchtowers to get in and howl.
And the burden of his howl is to be
this self-same allegation of assault up
on business.
Suppose the pessimistic gentlemen
who are alarming the country to pre-
vent legislation the more powerful and
less scrupulous of them DO not like
were to explain wherein business Is
assaulted or ahout to be assaulted
would not that be something to the
purpose? To do this coherently and
convincingly, and at the same time
furnish stimulant for their inspired
propaganda Of pessimism would be a
feat to put their genius to the test.

Transportation rates are of intense
importance and the final decision By
the supreme court in
Two Important the Spokane rate
Rate Cases case viii mean much
to the inland empire
and in fact to the whole interior west
court in the land upholds the principle
en- which the commerce commission
has been acting The decision has
been long time in coming but it is
nevertheless welcome
AS a consequence of that decision
the freight tariff ordered will
stand and railroads will not be allowed
TO charge more for short haul than
for a long haul 1t means granting
justice. after a fashion, to interior
points. There is still great favoritism
shown the terminal cities of the
coast Perhaps it is too much TO ex-
pect this to be wiped out at once. Yet
there is good evidence that the day
will finally come when freight rates
will be adjusted in accordance with
the cost of service. This is the only
sound principle to rely upon.
In the Astoria rate case on which
a hearing is to be given by the inter-
state commerce commission in Port
land next week this principle is being
invoked. In an editorial upholding
the Astoria claim the Portland Jour
nal last evening said:
There is violation of every
law of transportation in the pres
ent rate arrangement. In spite
OF the known law that cost Of
haul is a most important factor
in fixing rates, that law is abso-
lutely overlooked in the present
rates.
Thus, a locomotive will haul
but eight loaded cars from the
Columbia basin over the noun
tains 70 Puget Sound points, and
will haul one hundred cars down
the Columbia TO Portland and
Astoria II Is an enormous diff
ference in the cost Of haul, but
the freight rates are 80 cents a
ton higher to Astoria than TO Ia
coma and Seattle It is dis
crlmination in violation Of every
traffic maxim, natural or moral.
'The increased charge caused
by dragging loaded cars Of wheat
over the Cascade mountains to
Puget Sound has to be paid by
the producers Of the Columbia
basin II. instead Of being arti-
ficialy fixed by man. the rates
were regulated by the cost OF
haul. the charge down the Col
umbla would be far lower, and
the producers Of the region would
get the benefit"

came near being a brisk blaze. the
trouble was in tenement occupied
