TONER RATES SHOULD
Be GIVEN THIS PART
OF THE NORTHWEST
Rate Expert With Public Utili-
ties Commission Writes His
Views to Lewiston CONNER
cial Club.

That Idaho and the intermountain
country is entitled to lower freight
rates, is the opinion of Leonard Way,
rate expert with the public utilities
commission, as expressed in letter
by him to the Lewiston Commercial
club.
Discussing the subject, Mr.. Way says
therein:
Generally speaking, the people of
Idaho have not been fully conversant
with the situation in respect to the
transcontinental rates. 1t Is surprising
that this is true. The merchant or
shipper usually calls for his freight
bills, pays the bill and asks no Ques-
tons. l doubt in the past, when that
condition prevailed, that these same
shippers knew that the freight on a
box OF books from New York cost them
$3.50, while the same box Of books
might be shipped to Portland. some
several hundred miles beyond for 81,
the carriers performing some 800 miles
less service Tor $3.50 than for 81. Il
doubt If the shippers in Idaho attach
sufficient Importance to the bills now
pending before the senate and house
OF representatives-bi intended to
correct this evil, making it impossible
Tor the carriers to charge more for the
short than the long haul, and | am
surprised to find that this bill is in
grave danger of being killed.
OLD, OLD STORY.
Transcontinental rates have been
before the interstate commerce COM
mission, the United States senate or
the United States railroad administra-
ton in some form or other for great
many years. 1t is true that by diligent
efforts and great expense we have Sc
cured temporary, beneficial change
q
70 the intermediate point that Is no
higher than the rate to the Pacific
coast, but we are not satisfied with the
same rate to the interior that applies
to the Pacific coast. 1t Is automatic
that as the distance increases the
charge for performing the service
should also increase, and we believe
that II the present rate at the Pacific
coast is reasonable that the rates to
the interior are unrea sonable, and that
our rates should be proportionately
less. 1t was with the idea in view of
trying to secure less rates for the in
termediate points that this exhibit was
prepared.
I'VE would like to form a more CO.
heslve body for the purpose OF pre-
senting more united front when
these cases come up again in further
proceedings before ahe interstate COM
merce commission. l feel sure that as
result of the hearings before the
Interstate commerce commission that
we VIII obtain graded rates; that Is,
our rate will be made less than the
rates to the coast. | fear, however, that
unless the present fourth section is
amended, that as soon as the boats
again resume operation through the
Panama canal that the Pacific coast
will try the water competition and ask
that the case be reopened, and we Will
be again milling around as we have for
the past 20 years.

BULL CITIZENS HERE.

Ernest Mollander and George A.
Childs Of the Bull Highway district,
and Joseph w. Tanner. secretary of the
Buhl Commercial club, were in the
city today to confer with w. j. Hall,
state commissioner of public works,
and ID. p. Olson, state highway direc-
tor. regarding the possibility of obtain
ing federal aid for certain highways
in the district. The district proceeded
to build gravel road with the under
standing that federal aid would be
available for it. only to learn that fed
eral aid would be available only for
paved roads. Some means of financing
the expense which it was intended
should be met by federal aid is now
sought by the district. A bond issue
Tor this purpose may be necessary.
