WHO CONTROLS TRADE?

The Pacific coast objects to lower
rates to intermediate points will cause
intermediate points to buy direct from
the east instead of through the Pact
fic coast as heretofore, thereby causing
loss Of business to them.
The fight has. in u large measure.
resolved itself into a community dis
pute as to who Is to control the trade
of the intermountain section. So far
as the carriers are concerned, it Is the
belief that they have, in a large meas
ure, become reconciled to the decis-
ion of the interstate commerce com
mission that the rates to the inter
mountain points should not exceed the
percentage prescribed in fourth section
order 124.
In the meantime. the intermountain
territory is compelled to pay higher
rates from the eastern points than is
the coast. In other words. the inter
mountain territory is helping to pay
the freight charges of the Pacific
coast for the privilege OF competing
with them. simply because the govern
mcnt chose to build the Panama ca
nal. From this viewpoint it Will then
appear that the Panama canal was
built solely for the benefit of the Pa
cific coast, and that from a transporta-
ton standpoint no benefits should ac-
rue by reason of the Panama canal to
the intermountain territory.
ut necessarily follows that il the
rail rates to the coast pay only some
thing slightly over out of pocket cost,
and IL the rates to points 300 to 1000
miles shorter haul pay more than the
rates to the coast. that the profits Of
the carriers come from the interior:
if this is not true, and the rates to the
coast are remunerative, then the prof
it's from the rates to the intermountnln
territory points are excessive"

timony that may save his fathers life
The boy, his eyes filled with wonder
ment, occupied seat near his father
and his aged grandmother the mother
of the accused.
SCREAM is EXPLAINED.
The testimony brought out by the
defense today cast doubt on the strong
points brought by the states wit
nesses. Five witnesses testified to
matters tending to show that the
scream heard about the time Mrs Nc
Daniel Is alleged by the state to have
been murdered. was the scream of
Mrs. Della Leslie, frightened when
she was thrown too high in a swing"

when the swing was pushed too high

The fight for lower freight rates for

day of this week at Salt AXE the Ida
no public utilities commission will
make the stand in behalf of these rates
before Examiner Thurtell of the inter

Of the most important to Idaho ship
pers that has been inaugurated for
years.
The two commissioners will stop at
Rupert Monday to hear evidence on
application for convenience and neces-
sity after which they will go direct to
Salt Lake.
Speaking of the Importance of the
hearing Commissioner Ramstedt said
last night:
These hearings are of vital inter
est to the people of Idaho. Upon these
hearings depend. in a large measure
the future prosperity of the inland en-
pire.
WANT EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENT.
The fight for an equitable adjust
ment of the rate situation as between
eastern points and points in the in
termountain TERRITORY as compared with
Pacific coast points, has been waged
for years, and thousands of dollars
spent in litigation. The intermoun-
tain territory contends that its rates
should be somewhat less than the
rates to the coast that if the rates
to the coast yield a profit. the same
rates to points 500 to 1000 miles shorter
distances should yield larger profit.
The carriers contend rates made by
water carriers are extremely low, and
necessitates corresponding low rates
by railroad carriers from eastern sea-
board territory, and that low rates so
imposed from eastern seaboard neces-
state corresponding low rates from
Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago, st. Louis and
Missouri river territories to permit
rail movements of traffic from those
points to the Pacific coast in compe-
tition with sanae or similar commodi-
ties moving from the Atlantic sea-
board. and in order to comply with the
requirements >of the fourth section,
which forbids carriers from making
greater charge from intermediate
points than from more distant points,
the more distant points in this case
being located at or near the Atlantic
seaboard.
THE shipping interests of Chicago.
Duluth, Minneapolis, st. Paul. St.
Louis and Missouri river support the
carriers contention upon the grounds
that if water competition is recog-
nized only from the Atlantic seaboard
it will divert the business between
those cities and the Pacific coast to
the Atlantic seaboard.
