Tho express company Is ordered to
operate s.lx months on tha commit-
almi's rates which are on the average
IB per cent below those heretofore ax-
acted and then submit a statement of
It earnings. If It reela the rates are
not Justified. At present the com-
mission finds the enmpsny makes a
net yearly profit of 8ta.07. oh a
property valuation estimated at I16.-
2J3. or 116 per cent on Ha Investment.
Tho finding pronounces the company
a "parasite" on the railways nnd sug-
gests that Instead of appealing to tha
Interstnte coniirierco comrnlmlnn for
permission to Increase rates the rail
roads "look Into this express situa-
tion." "Quite possibly" pays tho opinion
"they will find relief from at leaat a
part or the financial ilirftcultlea
which they maintain beset them.
"We do not see." the opinion con-
tinues "why the railroad companies
If this service I a public necessity ss
it seems to be. could not furnish snd
maintain tho comparatively small
amount of addi lonul terminal equip-
ment whl.-h Is necessary to carry on
the pick-up and dcllvny business of
the express company."
liiUi-onrporate HclatlanMltlp.
The cnmnilaslnn finds a sidelight on
this very question in Intercorporate re-
latlnnahlp bc'ween railroads and the
express companies which. It says.
"makes fraud possible up. in both the
railroad and the public."
It cites the fact Ihst the Wells
Fnrgo company pays to the Atchison
Topeka nnd Santa Ke railroad RS per
cent of Its gross earnings on that line
and to the Southern Pacific railroad
only 40. K per cent of Its like gross
earnlnns. This the finding asserts
"enables irm Southern f'aclflc to sac-
rifice its own earnings to swell the
Wells Cargo company's earnings" and
the commission points out as signifi-
cant the fact that neither the Santa
Fe nor lis principal stockholders are
heavily ir at all. Interested In Wells
Fnrgo and company and that tha
Southern Pacific nrriclals and Its
principal stockholders are. The offi-
cials of the Southern Pacific the com.
mission says did not have control at
the time lis contract with the express
compsny was msde.
Homebody (retting Hurt.
"That somebody Is getting the worst
of It there Is no doubt" says the com-
mission In commenting on existing
rates. It estimates that the Southern
Pacific In effect pays to the Wells
Fargo I2.S00.000 annually morn than
It ahould on all business In California.
This amount the commission says
muat come out of the rsglriutd's othsr
activities and hence In tho long run
from its pntront.
The commission differs frem the
Interstate commerrn commission In '
that the Interstate body found the eg.
press company to be proper bodies for
carrying on their business while tha
California commission holds that they
are "parasites" and that the railroads
or some ithcr agency could bo substU
luted to belter advantage.
After liong Investigation.
The decision follows two and a half
years' Investigation during which
over 2300.000 waybills wars sera
