The Public Service commission has
addressed letter to Director General
OF railroad McAdoo calling his atten-
tion to the fact that the proposed 20
rrr cent increase in freight rates will
hit The Pacific coast much harder than
other sectionsssIt is pointed out that
the country is sparsely settled, and that
.ha first class late in Oregon is 81 cents
l5r 10 miles. while between Chicago
and Cincinnati, it is but 45 cents. Not
only is Oregon already paying double,
ii more, the eastern rates, but the 20
psf cent incl case is also double that
placed on the eastern shippers. In other
worus The increase is on double the
,tum and e1@G.A a so per cent increase
ia eastern shippers. The commission has
appointed Commission Max Thelen, of
California to prtstft Oregon S case to
McAdoo. 1t is also suggested by the
commission that the first class rate in
Oregon applies mostly to raw materials,
while in the east the manufactured pro
duct which is better able to pay the
higher rate, is about all that has to
bear it. Tn conference with Director
MeAdoo will be held at Washington,
June 3, and it is expected the coast will
be given some measure of relief on ac-
count of the conditions above named.
