dren during the months OF July

only three cities in the state of

grounds and that the city OF Sa-
lem is not spending one cent for
this purpose.
A temporary budget of $500
was thought by advocates of the
proposition to be sufficient to pay

Mr.. Erixon said, and suggested
that the Rotarians appropriate
$125, a similar amount to be ask
ed OF the Kiwanians.

REDUCTION OF
STATE FREIGHT
RATES NEEDED

Olympia. Wash, June 21,-De-I
claring that discrimination of two
sorts will exist should state rates
be not reduced, effective July 1, to
the level recommended by the in
terstate commerce commission re-
Gently for interstate rates, o. 0.
Calderhead, rate expert for the de-
partment of public works, opened
the hearing before the department
called to determine the disposi-
tion of state rates here this after
noon with a statement of the sit
uation.
such commodities as move in
volume both state and interstate
in this territory would be discrim-
mated against when movement is
entirely within the state" said
Mr.. Caldehead, who pointed out
that the present interstate rate
from Portland, Or, to Connell,
Wash, is 80 cents, which is the
same as the rate from Seattle to
ConneIl, the distance being ap-
proximately the same. The inter-
state reductions would mean that
the Portland -Connell rate would
become 27 cents while the rate
from Seattle would be as at pres
ent, thus discriminating against
Seattle, it was indicated.
"If state rates are not~decreased
to the interstate level, the state
traffic will bear and contribute
to the aggregate revenue of the
carriers an amount proportionate-
Iy greater than that borne by IN
terstate commerce in the same
territory and state commerce as a
whole will in that respect be dis
criminated against and in favor ol
interstate commerce." he con
tinued. Last year the interstate
freight revenue of the Greai
Y Northern within the state wai
s5,O32,705 and the state revenue
SS,669,621, the ratio of freighi
revenue being 5S per cent inter
state commerce and AZ per cen
state. BY assuming that 10 PEI
cent reduction in interstate rate
is to be accomplished the inter
state revenue would be only So pc
cent and the state revenue proper
ton AS per cent"
