ACTIVE FIGHT FOR
RATE REGULATION
Supporters of Stetson Bill to
Go Before Judiciary Conn
mittee and Senate
Constitutionality of Absolute
Tariff Clause Considered
Matter for Courts
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

CALL HEADQUARTERS. CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING. SACRA-
MENTO. Feb. 17.-Supporters of the ad-
ministration railroad regulation meas
ure are not discouraged because of the
adverse report on the Stetson bill sub
mitted by the committee on corpora
tions. They are now preparing for the
fights in the judiciary committee and
IN the senate, where the constitutions
ality of providing for absolute rates
VIII be threshed out. They. contend
that even If the provision is declared
unconstitutional by the courts, the
people will have had an opportunity
to test it, and the remainder of the
law providing for the system of maxi
mum rates as provided for in the other
measures before the legislature, will
stand.
In my opinion" said Senator E. O..
Miller this afternoon, the Stetson bill
Is incomparably better for the people
lhan any other measure on the subject
before the legislature. 1t is true that
as an attorney l entertain some doubt
as TO the constitutionality of the clause
providing for absolute rates 1t is a
nne point which the courts may con-
strue one way or the other. If the
courts decide that the clause of the bill
Is constitutional, the people will be i'm
mensely benefited because the fixing of
the rates absolutely precludes chances
Tor discrimination by the railroads On
the other hand, if the courts hold the
clause unconstitutional only this por-
ton VIII be declared void.
The Stetson bill is the only one
which will bring the question of con-
sututionality of absolute rates into the
courts for decision, and we ought to get
it there
Attorney General Webb and Senator
Stetson have announced that they will
not compromise on the question of
absolute rates.
There is no question in my mind
that the power to fix rates absolutely
is vested in the commission by the con-
stitution, said Webb this afternoon
But II there is doubt, how are we
ever going to arrive at the real facts
until the courts decide? The fixing of
maximum rates affords but little pro-
lection to the public because it leaves
in the hands of railroads the power to
discriminate within certain fixed
limits"

MENTO, Feb. 17.-Grove L. Johnson
pleaded the cause of the Pacific Mail
steamship company and the transconti-
mental railroads in the assembly today,
when Assemblyman A. NJ. Drew called
up for consideration Senator Sanford 5
joint resolution asking for a govern
ment line of steamships on the Pacific,
to offer relief from the increase in
rates recently put into effect by the
transcontinental railroad lines. Drew
insisted that the Pacific Mail is not
trying to compete with railroads, but
is operating with them.
do you think that we should adopt
this resolution in its present shape?'
argued Johnson. Il am not in favor
of the government owning a line Of
steamers"
Johnson proceeded to cast aspersions
on Joseph L. Bristow. who, as special
Panama railroad commissioner, recon-
mended a government line of steamers
between San Francisco and Panama.
He called Bristow "a muckraker" and
charged that he had misrepresented the
California senators. He added that he
was opposed to the governments going
into either the railroad or the steam
ship business.
Rushing again to the defense of the
Pacific Mail company, Johnson moved
to strike out two paragraphs of the
resolution-one in which il is charged
by Bristow that the company is domi-
mated and controlled by the trans
continental lines, the other in which
congress is urged to give speedy at
tention to Bristow's report and the
recommendation for the establishment
of the government line.
Drew hotly opposed the amendments
and insisted that Johnson knew that
the Pacific Mail was a part OF the
transcontinental lines and dominated
by Herrin. At this stage of the pro-
ceedings it was decided to continue
consideration of the resolution and the
amendment until tomorrow.

two centuries ago would in no wise
have warranted even the most hopeful
to prophecy its mighty present; and
yet, as shown by number of speakers,
its morning has just begun to dawn.
Many plans and methods for more
effective work in this county were
presented and adopted, and the var
ious departments of county service
perfected.
The county has been divided into
four districts; each district is to be
superintendent and worked by an active
vice president and secretary who are
to work jointly with the county
president, A. G. Saxton, and its Sec
rotary, George M. Reek, Assistant,
Rev. Herbert Jukes. Superintend-
ents were also chosen for the following
departments: Teachers Training, .
T. c. Adams, Sites; adult Depart.
ment,' F. s. Munro; "Elementry
Department" Mrs Boulard, Grange
vile; Temperate Work. L. c.
Chadwick; Home Department" Mrs
a. b. Graham, Grangeville. With
the county thus organized, we are
looking forward to an excellent years
work, and convention one year hence
attended by representatives of every
school in the county.
For the perfecting and carrying
forward of the work Of the 81 Sunday
schools in the association, nineteen Of
the number represented at the conven.
ton raised $1,000. 1t is quite Ger.
tain that the schools not represented
will also contribute to the work before
the close Of the year.
Among the resolutions adopted by
the convention are the following:
"Be it resolved that it is the sense
of this convention that the present
local option movement is for the adj
yancement in every way of oul
county, state and nation, that this
convention heartily indorses the move
ment and will do all in its power t.
further support the local option
movement"
"Be it resolved that we endorse ant
recommend general cooperation will

and Aid Society, with Rev. S. B

"Be it resolved that we extend ,
vote of thanks to the president. Rev
A. G. Saxton, for his faithful ant
efficient work in arranging for ant
conducting this convention" A mo

ton also prevailed that the convention
send the president to the Inland
Empire S. s executive committee
meeting to be held in Spokane some
time in September. The convention
then raised more than sufficient means
to pay all expenses Of the trip.
The convention by unanimous vote
expressed its thanks to all the Grange
vile people for their hospitable enter
tainment, and excellent support, as
was manifested by the large attend
ance at each session and their willing
ness to help.
Some of the good things of the con-
vention were lost in that Mrs. j. |.
Overman, Mrs. r. Hattabaugh and
others were not able to appear
on the program.
The climax of the convention was
reached at its close when l.. G. Chad
wick gave a rousing address on tenn
perance. The address was received
with repeated applique and his argu-
ment was unanswerable. At the late
hour of 1920 the largest and most
successful Sunday school convention
ever held in Idaho County was closed
by the prayer and benediction Of its
president and the enthusiastic hand
shake and hearty GOODIES could be
seen and heard all over the hall, as
the delegates parted to meet June 10,
1910, at Westlake, Idaho.
