Rates Handed Back to Explain Fairness in Pacific Route
The interstate commerce commission ruled that San Francisco to Portland freight rates, though driven by water competition, were partly less than normal and fair. It authorized the railroad to further explain the propriety of higher rates to intermediate points. The decision allows justified city favoritism only when cities are differently situated and transportation forces vary. Also, the ICC rejected a proposed rise in minimum freight charges for small shipments east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio as unjustified.

NEW WOOL TARIF F BILL IN EARLY REVIEW
Washington reports strong pressure on democratic members of the house ways and means committee to report a new wool tariff revision bill soon. The sugar bill may be sidetracked to allow the wool bill to proceed as experts compare reports with the vetoed measure. President Taft vetoed the prior wool bill, and there is hope for greater consistency between the two proposals. Internal tax talks arise to offset revenue losses from tariff reductions.
