HOYT TOUCHES ON
STATES RIGHTS
Defends Root in Argument
in Colorado VS.. Kansas
for Waters of a River
RIGHT OF THE NATION

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-In explain
ing the Government attitude in the
suit of Kansas TO compel Colorado TO
submit to division OF the waters of the
Arkansas River for irrigation purposes.
under argument in the Supreme Court
of the United States, Solicitor General
Hoyt made an argument today in sup
port of national interference in state
matters.
.The extreme Colorado claim based
on her sovereignty must fall" he said,
not a sovereign nation.
In the last analysis the claim means
the right to make war. which was sur
rendered by the States along with the
power of compact The very fact that
the controversy is justifiable in this
court is proof that State has not such
absolute right to do what she pleases
with what she conceives TO be her
own
In conclusion Hoyt made reference
TO Secretary Roots recent speech on
the subject OF the rights of States,
agreeing with suggestion by Justice
Harlan that the Secretary had been
misunderstood.
The Secretary's critics, said Hoyt.
regard his premises and disregard his
conclusions. His position is that the
States should awaken to their respon-
sibility-that there should be greater
State rights. not less"

DO the Japanese intend to make
trouble?" was asked Mr. Stead.
Eyes Have you seen the latest To-
kio cartoons? One full page picture

John Bull and Uncle Sam into cooked

But" added Mr.. Stead with empha-
sis, Let no American imagine that
England can be drawn into a war be-
tween Japan and America, unless 1t is
on the side of the latter. If we had
fifty treaties we would not fire shot
against the Americans. AS matter of
fact. we have no treaty which involves
such contingency. 1t is possible that
II America, without provocation,
pounced down upon and bombarded To-

HILL ON THE STAND
Testifes Outside Conditions Are Re-
sponsible for Car Shortage

MINNEAPOLIS, Dee. 19.-The Inter-
state Commerce Commission, repre-
sented by Franklin 4. Lane and John
s. Harlan, adjourned it's hearing on
the car shortage in the West tonight,
to reconvene tomorrow morning in Chi
cago.
The feature of the proceedings today
was brought forward in the testimony
OF President Howard Elliott of the
Northern Pacific. during which Com
missioner Lane and President Elliott
had a lively tilt. on the subject of re-
ciprocal demurrage. President Elliott
was unmovable from his position as
opposing reciprocal demurrage, on the
ground that it would not move freight
faster. He said the railroads collected
demurrage for the purpose of facilitat-
ing freight.
President James J. Hill of tn
Great Northern took the stand late in
the afternoon. He came to the hearing
fortified with a mass of figures to
prove that conditions outside the con-
troll of the railroads were alone re-
sponsible for the shortage.
What do you think of j. w. Midge-
ley's scheme for an equal exchange of
cars between roads, or the penalty of
a fine for each car over an equal ex-
change in the service of q company -
asked Attorney Marble.
II don't think there is anything in
it. Fifty cents day on a car in times
of shortage is not going to solve the
situation"

SHORTAGE or CARS.
IS ALARMING
Interstate Commerce Com
mission VIII Make Report
Of Facts to Congress
DISTRESS PREVALENT

WASHINGTON, Dec 19.-The annual
report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. made public today, does
not present any recommendations for
further amendment of the act passed
at the last session of Congress to regu-
late interstate commerce. The commits
sion states that such amendments as it
may conclude are necessary will be
submitted in special communication to
Congress during the present session.
The results of the pending investi-
cations with reference to the prevail
ing car shortage. the report says, will
be communicated to Congress at the
earliest possible date. car famine
prevails, the report says, which brings
distress in almost every section, and In
some localities amounts to a calamity.
The extraordinary prosperity which
everywhere abounds. with high prices
obtainable for all classes of commod-
tiles, have so stimulated production as
TO yield a volume of transportation
business which far exceeds in the ag-
gregate the carrying capacity of the
railroads. In a word, the Commission
ers say, the development of private in
duStry has of late been much more
rapid than the increase of railway
equipment.
The conditions now existing In the
Northwest, where large quantities of
grain require immediate shipment, and
in the West and Southwest. where tens
of thousands of live animals are denied
movement to the markets, the Com
missioners regard as alarming. while
throughout the Middle West and on the
Atlantic seaboard the shortage of cars
for manufactured articles and merchan-
disc has become a matter of serious
concern.

LAWS TO PROVIDE CARS
Senator Hansbrough Prepares Outlines
of Remedial Legislation


WASHINGTON. Dec Ex-senator
Hansbrough of North Dakota, who has
taken an active interest in steps to
remedy the situation caused by the
car shortage, particularly in the North
west, has prepared the outlines of leg
islation which he believes. IL enacted
into law, will tend to prevent a recur-
renee of the present congestion of traf-
f1c. They contemplate legislation along
the following lines:
Giving the Interstate Commerce Com
mission power to inquire into the
equipment capacity under stress OF ex-
traordinary requirements of all inter-
state railroads so as to Judge as to
their ability to move traffic under ex-
traordinary conditions: giving the COM
mission authority to require shippers
holding cars in demurrage to unload
and reload such charge within twenty
four hours after the cars have been
placed in position to be unloaded maxi
ing it a misdemanor for common car
riers to compel trainmen to attempt to
move trains containing tonnage in ex-
cess of the registered capacity of the
engines hauling such trains; authoriz-
ing the commission to require the tenn
porary use of idle equipment of one
road to supplement the overtaxed
equipment OF others.

BLAME MANUFACTURERS
Railroad Men Plead Inability to Secure
Sufficient Cars

ST. LOUIS. Dec. 1s.-The investiga-
ton by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission into the general shortage of
freight cars was resumed today Ac-
cording TO the testimony of railroad
men. who testified, the present famine
in railroad cars is due to the inability
of ar-manufacturing plants to meet
the demands of railroad companies
A. B. Starr, general superintendent
of the freight traffic of the Pennsylva-
MIA lines west of Pittsburg, said he
favored a law that would require rail
roads to provide equipment enough to
meet their traffic needs.
S. H. Cowan, representing the Ma
tfonal Livestock Association and the
Cattle Raisers Association of Texas,
read extracts from letters to prove that
thousands of cattle had been sold at a
sacrifice because cars were not pro-
vided.
Commissioner Prouty departed to-
night for Kansas City, where the hear
ing will be resumed.
