that the candidates for Governor this

that resolutions to this effect be pass

Senator Beyeridgo or
 Arizona Consultation

Senator Beveridge, in explain ing the position of congress on the change in the statehood bill and requiring congressional ap- proval of Arizona's constitution, said:
 The reasons for this, briefly stated, are two. The first one is that by returning the constitu- ton to the president and 10 con gress there is afforded a safe guard as to the wisdom of its provisions. A constitution is nc light thing. It cannot hurt any body to have q consultation care. fully drawn; it. may help won derfully to have it reviewed. Ii is sure to be not less thoughtful on that account. Also, the na- ton is as much concerned as the state, for the state is to become a part of the governing power oI the nation"

Cuts Freight Rates

Washington, June 29.-Decis- ions were handed down by the interstate commerce commission today in what are popularly known as the Pacific coast cases, affecting freight rates on all the transcoDtjnental lines. These are cases of immense importance, not only to the railroads bat to the shippers, and the commission prepared opinions with great care. In every instance reduc- .tions in the rates complained ot were made in some cases amount ing to nearly fifty per cent.
 The famous "hack haul7 rates involved in the Spokane rate case and similar cases applying to Reno, Portland, Oregon, Ia coma and SeatIie, are among the cases decided.
 A reduction of approximately .30 per cent Is ordered in all class
 freight rates from eastern points to Phoenix, Arizona.
 1. In all cases decided the pres ent rates are declared in fifteen instances to be unreasonable anC unjust.
 A petition for a rehearing was filed in the supreme court today , by the railroads involved in the Missouri river rate case.
