STATEHOOD CONFEREES
STILL FAR APART
Nothing Accomplished at First Meeting
Today, and Breach Is Wide
as Ever.

At today's meeting Of the Statehood
cOnferees. held in the committee room
OF Senator Beveridge, the breach be-
tween House and Senate became clear
ly defined. 1t was indicated that the
conference would be long with a pos
sible chance OF the measure dying
without having been settled
The House conferees clearly indi-
Gated that they would be emphatic in
their intentions that the bill as passed
by the House in so far as 1t pertains
to joint Statehood for Arizona and
New Mexico must be adhered to- They
did not indicate that they objected 20
minor amendments to the bill that
were made prior TO the striking out Of
the Arizona-New Mexico portion.
Nothing was accomplished. however
at the meeting which would indicate
which side would have the better Of the
argument. Another meeting will be
held on Wednesday forenoon. and the
real work OF the conference begun.

NOT ANTAGoNIsTIC.

The recent furry I'm the Omaha Grain
exchange over the proposed election Of
the new secretary is said to have sprung
from a feeling on the part Of some Of
the grain men that the active manage.
ment of the Grain exchange should be
free from all participation by the whole
salers and jobbers, who dominate the
Commercial club. This feeling is sup
posed to refer more particularly TO the
relations between the Grain exchange
and the railroads in the fixing of the
grain rates, where the interests of the
Omaha grain market are at stake as
distinguished from the general freight
rates governing the transportation Of
general merchandise.
The Bee fails to see any good reason
for antagonism between the grain men
and the Monogram men in the Grain ex-
change. The grain market at Omaha
was made a reality only by the com
bined efforts of the entire business COM
munity. Eventually the interests of
the grain men will. without doubt be-
come so preponderant that membership
will come to be held only by men
actually engaged in the buying and
selling of grain, but until that time ar.
rives, the help Of every one interested
in the development of Omaha as Il grain
market will be needed to defend 1t from
outside attacks and give it the en-
trenched position it should have as the
natural market for all the grain grown
within Omaha's tributary territory.
So far as favors from the railroads
are concerned. Omaha may count on
securing fair treatment in the future as
in the past only to the extent that it is
prepared to fight for it. Whenever IL
comes to fight, the assistance of the
jobbers and other heavy shippers will
come in right handily for the grain
men.
be adequate to present den. ands, and the
next thing is to establish a milling in
dustry that will create larger demand
for local consumption. On this side the
Grain exchange will again come in
closer contact with the jobbing houses
which must market the product Of the
mills and factories. The policy of the
Grain exchange should be constantly to
unity and strengthen all the interests

THE WEST AND THE COMMISSION.
IL is inevitable that the character OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
will receive serious consideration as
soon as legislation shall he enacted in
creasing its powers over transportation.
and in view of the growing probability
that that time is now not far distant
objections are already being raised to
the commission as at present cOnsti-
tuted. The west certainly has ground
for complaint and in due time will make
itself heard for more adequate repre-
sentation.
The FIVE members Of the commission,
together with its secretary and assistant
secretary, who are almost as important
as members, are as follows:
Martin A. Knapp IN. ". chairman.
Judson c. Clements, Georgia.
Francis NJ Cockreli, Missouri
Charles A. Prouty. Vermont.
Franklin lane, California.
Edward A. Moseley, (Mass), secretary
Martin s. Decker IN. 70 assistant secre-
tary
4 glance shows that the distinctive in
terests Of vast region of the west have
no direct representation on the commits
sion. New York and New England in
the extreme and narrow northeast have
two members besides the secretary and
assistant secretary. while the southern
states have two members. The remain
ing member is from California, which
has special transportation and sectional
interests of its own entirely apart from
and in some respects antagonistic to
those Of the great transmissouri region
commonly and properly known as the
west
II is not n safe representation which
allots such disproportionate influence on

England, the section of capitalistic and
! speculative interest while that enor.
nous region north Of the Ohio. including
all the great commemorative of the
upper Mississippi and Missouri valleys,
single direct representative. Precisely
within this region lies the bulk of the
railroad mileage, the freight, the travel
and the business of the continent. With
the broadening of the powers of the
commission to include rate making, in.
vOlving vitality sectional interest as well
as the irrepressible conflict between the
various stock and bond interests on the
one hand and the freight-paying inter
ests on the other, 1t will be incomparably
more necessary for the west to assert
itself when the time comes to recon
stitute the commission as the pending
rate bill contemplates shall be done.
Mere arbitrary geographical lines. t.
be sure, are not to be insisted upon toe
far. Distinguished ability. character and
special fitness are required for the grea'
tribunal that Is to deal so momentously
with transportation. But transportation
interests fall within distinct groups anC
largely within definite zones, thost
OF the west certainly being inferior Il
no other section and in this respect jus
tice and square deal require western
representation.

SENATOR ALLISON IN TIE OPEN.

SENATOR ALLISON IN THE OPEN
The appearance of Senator Allison OF
Iowa on the floor of the senate in active
support OF the administration in the con-
test over the rate measure is one among
multiplying signs that the lines are be-
ing drawn more closely. There has, In
deed, been no doubt in well informed
circles as TO where the senior Iowa SEN
ator stood on the main issue, but the
junior senator - Dolliver - has been
pushed to the front in the open fight, as
he has repeatedly and publicly stated,
with the advice and counsel of his col
league all the way through.
But 1t is reassuring to the friends OF
efficient rate control that Senator ALI
son. than whom there is no more ex-
perienced, skillful and influential mem.
Der Of the senate, should conspicuously
signify his cooperation at this stage OF
the controversy when strategy and wis
dom may be as important as zeal for
success Experienced observers are
now quoted as anticipating that the sen,
ate debate may run on for another
month or even longer. But 1t has lat
terly seemed to fail in zest and interest
and to be concerned more with techni
calities and fine-drawn distinctions. In
short, the real struggle in the senate
seems now to be entering upon the
period of practical arrangement.
The judicial review amendment
which was generally credited with the
presidents approval, was decided upor
last week clearly with view to tactical
advantage. and IT was in connection
with that amendment that Senator Ali
son came out openly on the administra
TONS side.
