Freight Rates

SAN FRANCISCO, June %. W.H
The state railroad commission re-
fused today to reconsider its auth
Qrization of what amounts to a rate
reduction in freight shipped from
Los Angeles to San Francisco.
The reduction was effected when
the Los Angeles Steamship Com
pany instituted truck service
from the shippers door to loekside,
maintaining however, virtually the
same rates which had formerly pre-.
vailed at San Pedro. Under the
new service, the shippers truck
haul to the siding at Los Angeles
and the rail haul TO San Pedro were
eliminated.
Four other companies protested
the innovation, calling it unfair
competition.

like the work of the District Attorneys office
and believe that have fair degree of aptitude
therefor and with my experience feel that
| can render efficient and satisfactory service
to the people.
From my past record believe that YOU can
be assured that | will cooperate in every way
with all county officers, and otherwise conduct
myself SO as to assure harmony and teamwork
in the administration of the affairs of county
government.
The District Attorneys office is not, and
never was, Intended to be made a means of per-
Secution; neither was it intended as a haven of
refuge where the lawless might seek shelter
The office of District Attorney was intended
ana should be an office through which the dig
nifty OF the law may be upheld and the District
attorney should be man whose efforts are
directed to that end
AS District Attorney, my purpose will be to
BRING to bear every legitimate means afforded
me to see that the law vioatorS of Imperial
County are punished in the exact manner that
the will of the people has prescribed.
| solicit the vote and active support of every
citizen OF the county with the distinct undt
standing that am under obligation to no one
that | am now, and will be and remain free to
perform the duties of the office fearlessy and
impartially and will accord to each and every
cilizen OF tne county, the same falr and impair
tial consideration in administering the affairs
of the office
Conditions are such that it will be impossible
for me to make an extensive campaign, and l
may not see you before the August Primaries,
but earnestly request that you give my can
didacy full and fair consideration, and if you
favor honest, conscientious law enforcement
and continuous warfare on lawessness of every
character, shall greatly appreciate your sup
port.
Respectfully submitted,
ERNEST r. UTLEY.
