bors until the long and short haul
provisions of the fourth section of
the interstate commerce act shall
have been made absolute.
In case that the transcontinental
carriers file an application for fourth
section relief, the association has
asked that the interstate commerce
commission hold hearings at Spo-
City, Ore. Boise, Idaho, Salt Lake
City. Utah; Reno, Nevada; Phoenix,
Arizona. and San Bernardino, Calf.
The association also passed resolu-
tons against the section of the trans
portation act which forces the inter-
state commerce commission to fix
such rates as will insure a return of
5h or s per cent of the aggregate
value of railroad property: against
centralized federal control over in
tqrstate commerce, and against the
placing in the hands of the inter-
state commerce commission of ex-
elusive jurisdiction to grant or deny
certificates of convenience and neces-
sfty In the construction of railroad
lines and facilities. or the abandon
ment or discontinuance of such lines.
To carry on the work of the asso-
citation. it was decided also to raise
$4,000 for the present needs of the
organization. This sum is to be
pro-rated among the various states
represented in the association in the
following amounts:

FAVORS REDUCTION
IN ASPHALT RATES

That the freight rates on asphalt
from California producing points to
Arizona destination points are unduly
prejudicial in that they exceed the
rates contemporaneously maintained
to Denver and other group points
Is the gist of a tentative opinion
handed down by Richard t. Eddy. ex-
aminer for the interstate commerce
commission. Notice of the opinion
was received yesterday by Roland
Johnston, manager of the traffic bu-
reau of the chamber of commerce.
If the interstate commerce commits
sion hands down formal decision
along the lines suggested by Exam
liner Eddy the effect will be a reduc-
ton in the rates on asphalt to So
cents hundredweight from all Cali
fornia producing points to Phoenix.
as against the present rate of rs
cents from San Francisco and It's
group points and 621s cents from FL
Segundo and other points in the Los
