Three groups of railroads control the water- front, the Oregon-Washmngton and Milwaukee on the south, the Northern Pacific in the central or “old hamlet” section, and the Great Northern at the north. None of these railroads loves the offer. Hence, a shipper pays THREE SWITCHING CHARGES in some instances to transfer a car of freight from the Milwaukee terminals to Smith's Cove or Ballard, and vice versa. Switching conditions are in a terrible chaos here, and have been for years. Some shippers are exempted from switching charges and others are soaked double. The Port of Seattle's magnificent public wharves lose a large volume of profitable busi- ness thru these discriminatiory charges. Almost four years ago the Port Commission tried to per- suade the railroads to form a single terminal com- pany. The railroads made an evasive answer— and did nothing. The Port Commission now proposes to do LAST SUNDAY 1 TOOK DINNER WITH THE SMITHS. MY Goodness ExT THEY Do Ser 4 Poor’ Tame! 4 TWAT FINDS FAUCT WITH OMER PEOPLE THAT ENTER?

With the belt line established, the port would do all the terminal switching from all the railroads, for one, instead of three, rates. That's the whole thing in a nutshell. Such a line would connect all the port's wharves, warehouses, and other terminal facilities with all the trunk railroads. If the belt ine is approved, it will tie together the port utilities already built with public funds, and be operated for a FAIR AND UNIFORM switching charge This plan has been working for many years in three of America’s greatest ports, San Fran- cisco, New Orleans and Montreal. It will permit other railroads to enter Seattle. No new bonds will be required. The saving in bonds already authorized for terminals will finance the thing.

Men with too much money imagine themselves able to discuss ANYTHING intelligently—they are helped to this comfortable delusion by others who listen with respect and AWE—listen to the clink of gold behind the voice.
