SOUTH DAKOTA SENATOR FAvORS
THE TRAFFIC AGREEMENT
AMENDMENT.
ADDRESSES THE SENATE
Permitted to Enter Into Understand
ings Relative to the Hauling OF Goods
Garter Of Montana Supports Da.
kotan's Position on Matter.

Washington. April 22,- Senator
Crawford of South Dakota addressed
the senate today In support of the
proposition that the railroads be per-
mtted 10 make traffic agreements.
He quoted from three messages Of
President Roosevelt In support of his
contention and said the republican
platform Of 1908 declaring for agree
nicnts made subject to the approval
OF the interstate commerce commits
sion" was in accord with the Roose-
welt views.
Senator Clapp pointed out the Roose
welt declaration had specifically fav-
ored the previous approval of the
commission. Mr.. Crawford said no
lawyer of standing would contend that
nnder the pending amendment, work.
ing agreements subject to the ap-
proval of the commission would be ef-
fective without such approval Mr.
Clapp answered that both Senators
Aldrich and Elklns had so construed
the possibilities. In reply to a ques-
tlon from Mr. Crawford. however, Mr.
Elkins said he had been incorrectly
quoted.
Mr.. Aldrlch was not then In the
chamber Mr.. Crawford said he and
the minority committee on interstate
commerce differed as to the prac-
tlcabllity of having the commission
pass on every Item In rate schedules
made In conformity with traffic agree
ments
But II the rates are unreasonable"
interjected Senator Jones of Washs
ington. "the public must go on paying
them
Supports Crawford.
Senator Carter Of Montana, sup
porting Mr. Crawford's position. would
have the rates filed with the agree
ments. Senator Elkins called atten-
tion to the fact that II found unrea-
sonable any schedule submitted to the
commission could be suspended. under
the terms Of the bill The agreement
would bind only the railroads. He said
II followed to It's legitimate conclu-
zion the Cummins amendment would
allow the commission to fix rates all
over the country and tear down any
community at will.
Mr.. Crawford, resuminG his speech,
said his purpose was to bring the rail-
roads under the supervision of law IN
matters In which there were abuses
under the present law. He said that
not until the bill was entirely com
plcted could he say he was for the
measure as an entirety.
After the South Dakota senator had
concluded Mr., Sutherland spoke In ad-
vocacy OF the Crawford amendment.
He agreed with the view expressed by
Mr.. Carter that necessarily the com
mission would require the filing with
each agreement of the rates provided
under 1t and that In many eases the
rates would be examined before the
approval of the commission.

 Mohave Miner: The census re- turn of this county gives the poor est showing of any county, not be. cause there has been a decrease in population, but because of the in- competency of the enumerator hav- ing the most populous district un- der his charge. The population of the county as given by the twelfth census was something over 3,400, while the thirteenth census will give us little over 3,773, an increase of three hundred. We learn that between Kingman, Goldroad, Oatman, the Colorado river bottoms and Union Pass there was an enumeration of 2,000. Now does any one believe there are but one thousand people in all the balance of the county, embracing Littlefeld, all the north part of the county, Gold Basin, White Hills, Chloride, Virginia and other camps in the river range, Mineral Park, Layne Springs, Todd and Union Basins, Cerbat, Stockton Hill, c. o. D., Blackberry, Peach Springs, the cattle country south of Peach Springs, the Big Sandy, Signal, Copperville, Yucca, Cedar, Planet and all points along the Santa Fe between Peach Springs and the Colorado river. We be- lieve that these sections had far in excess of two thousand people. It looks to us as though the coun- ty had suffered a great injustice, but just now we will have to stand it, as we have no remedy unless it is to obtain a new enumeration.
