The hearing opened tha Introduction of teetlmony on tha case Instituted by tha Ogden Grain exchange to test tha reasonableness of rates for tha transportation of grain and grain products from Colo rad a, Idaho Utah, Montana, Oregon and yoming to Arisona, California, Oregon and Washington. Mr. Prickett presented numerous rate schedule, at all tics on railroad and inoomea and tha operations, movement of grain and grain products to show that tha present rale are unjust and unreasonable and prejudicial to Utah and Idaho. Solution of tha discrimination and tha establishment of a fair and equitable rata basis for territories affected aould result la tha adoption of tha schedule baaed on a the Oklahoma Arkansas scale, Mr. Prickett said Extensive evidence of the ailltng-nea- s of the Union Pacific avsiera to respond to requests of Utah and Idaho millers and wheat producers was presented last night by Harry K Godwin, general freight agent of the Oregon bhort Line, Union Farlio Aem, with headtjv&rtere in bull Lake Mr Godwin tuld of the efforts of the Union Pacific system to bring about satisfactory adjustments of rates and cited numerous rates to show the reasonableness of present transportation charge -- -- CITES REDUCTION CASES. Mr Qodwln cited examples of voluntary rate adjustments by the Union Paolflo from an exhibit showing the relation of rates from 1910. He took for examples the rates from Pocatello, representative main line point of the Oregon bhort Line, and Drumbranch line mond, representative point, to various main points of desIn all Instances cited the tination Union Pacific voluntarily lowered the rates on grain and grain products under die rates established by the Inon terstate commerce commission January 4. 1922 Theee voluntary reductions lowered the rats 7 cents per lof) pounds from Pocatello to Sen Francisco and Lo Angeles under 1922 charges, 2 cents from Pocatello to,. Portend, 2 cents to Astoria aid 4 cents to Seattle Reductions made from Drummond to various points from the J922 rates were 11 cents to Ban Francisco and Los Angeles, 6 events to Portland, 6 cents to Astoria and cents to Se- attle Another exhibit presented by Mr. Oodwln showed the revision of rates to the present level to be so adjusted as to permit Idaho and Utah mill-er- a and producers to compete in all markets of the United States This statement was based on the wide distribution of grain and grain products from originating points in Idaho and Utah. TON-MIL- S EARNINGS. Mr. Godwin's testimony also showed that the ton-miearnings of the Union Pacific on wheat, flour and coarse grains are not out of line or e disproportionate with the earnings of other commodities westbound and In comparison with transportation earnings in various other sections. Other exhibits showed that the production of wheat and the acreage planted to wheat la Idaho had more than doubted In the period 1913 to 1923, according to statistics of the United States department of agriculture The doubling of production and acreage in 1923 over 1913 was shown to have occurred under similar conditions In the two years such as practically equal average yields per acre Another exhibit presented bv Mr Godwin demonstrated that freight rates do not control the pi Ice paid the producer for various grades fvf w he&L This exhibit compared the of wheat per bushel at shipping price points and principal market points of destination ton-mli- V. S Andrus, S A assistant superintend- ent of transportation of the Southern Pacific, testified aa to the physical characteristics of the Southern Pacific from Ogden to San Francisco and the resultant increased operating costs caused by the high percentages of curves and grades Similar difficulties are experienced by the, Western Paciflo and the Union Pacific in Wyoming, Mr. Andrua said FIXES FAIR TARIFFS. Mr. Prlcketta proposal calls for the establishment of rates to Portland, Beattie and Astoria that would be 104 per cent of the Oklahoma-Arkansascale, while hla proposed rates to of Calipoints in the Imperial valley t fornia and in Artaona are 110 of tire scale and 104 per cent to other California point In support of hla contention that Utah and Idaho are being discriminated against, Mr. Prickett presented an exhibit showing comparisons of rates westbound from Utah, Idaho, Kansas and Colorado points The exhibit showed the through rate from Denver to be 69 cents per lfttf pounds to California points, including ban Francisco and Caiexico, distances of 1369 and 1436 mile respectively, and to Phoenix, Aria, a distance of 1123 miles. Tha through rate from Wichita, Kan , to the same points was shown to be 48 cent Mr. Prickett then compared these rates with the charges from Utah and Idaho point including Delta and American Falls, Idaho. The rate from American Falla to Ban 76 4g rents to Francisco Is 60 cent Calexieo and 904 cents to Phoenix. The rate from Delta to San Francisco cents, 66 cents to Calexico and 80 cents to Phoenix. Mr. Prickett asserted that since the American Falls rate to San Francisco is 60 cents, or 9 cents under the Denver-Ba- n Francisco rate, the present rate from American Falls to Fresno Cal., of 66 cents should be reduced to the level of 60 cents. As the basis for his proposal of ratee resulting from application of 104 per cent of the Oklahoma scale to Portland, Beattie and Astoria Mr. Prickett presented rate computation showing the present rates from Oregon Bhort Line territory to Denver and Pacific coast ports to be front Io0 to 104 per cent of the same scale. Other present rates from Montana to Paciflo coast ports wars shown to be less then 100 per cent of the scale, while the rates from Denver to Missouri river points are 94 per cent of the scale and the Montana rates to (on aha, Denver and Missouri liver cent of the seal points are 100 perfcis In support of proposed Tates x per-cen- M As . w , from Utah pnlpts to California, Mr. Prickett citwd the rate from Nephl, which is 104 per cant of the a-Arkansas scale upon which Mr. Prickett baked all of his compulations on present tad proposed rale CITES DIFFERENCES. The principal witness for the complainant cited comparisons of ratee from Montana and Idaho points to Portland to show dtavimination. Mr. Prickett said that the grain and grain products rale from American Falla to Portland on the Union Partflc was 6 oeijx higher than the rats on the Oregon- - w ash Ington Railroad 4k NaviUnea and the Chicago, gation company Milwaukee 4k Bt Paul from an equidistant point In Montana to Colorado, while the class rates on general comA mark an modities from Falls to Portland are lower than those from equidistant points in Montana to Poruasd. Joseph M. Parker, .Ogden, manager of tho Bpprry Hour company and prescient of the fgden Grain exchange, and R. R Alton, Ogden, manager of the Globe Milling A Elevator company, testified as to the source of competition for Utah millers the distribution of the of their mills, and the alleged products necessity for an adjustment on wwathound transportation charge Similar testimony was offered by Iwvld RoJibins, Balt Laks grain dealer J.

Topeka A Santa Fe. on cross examination of Mr Prickett, objected to ths routing used by Mr Prickett on hla rate comparisons in determining percentages of ratee under the Oklahoma scale The attorneys of the carriers asserted that the wrong routings had been used by MT Prickett and that application of the Oklahoma scale would be wrong as an arbitrary rate structure based on a strictly mileage basis.
