GATEWAY CASE" Up
IN FINAL CONTEST
important Railroad COntTO,
VerSy Is Being Argued in
Washington.

Washington, Feb. 23.-What purports TO
be the final contest over the famous
Portland Gateway case took place to-
day before the supreme court of tho
United States, when counsel for both
sides of the controversy argued the dis
pute. Charles W. Dunn appeared for the
Northern Pacific Railway company, and
Wade H. Ellis. assistant TO the attorney
general for the government.
The controversy is whether the order OF
the interstate commerce commission re-
QuiTing the Northern Pacific TO enter into
joint rates between Puget Sound points
and eastern points, via Portland, Ore
is to stand. The principal involved, it IS
said, reaches every section OF the cOun-
try.
The Northern Pacific is resisting ths
order on the ground that the commits
sion had no authority to issue It, This
attitude is taken because, it contends.
there already existed its own "satisfac-
tory and reasonable route 10 and from
Puget Sound points, by way of Billings,
Mont, or St Paul. Ii claims that tine
order is unjust because # turns over 10
competitor, the Union Pacific, bushes
which it had provided facilities for doing
itself.
Counsel for the government contends
that the order cannot be set aside by the
courts, merely for the reason that the
courts, if placed i'm the position of the
commission, would not nave ordered tbs
through route by Portland
II is claimed that as far as a consider
able portion Of the public is concerned.
the Northern Pacific route may not be-
satisfactory and reasonable at all sea-s
sons Of the year, and under all Circum-
stances.

ON AMENDMENT

SOME QUIET SARCASM
MAKES STRONG CONSTITUTION
Al AMENDMENT,

Washington, Feb. 2l.-Admitting that
he had greater respect for New York in
the Senate than for New York out of the
Senate" Senator Brown of Nebraska
author Of the income tax amendment,
today joined the debating society com
posed of Governor Hughes on the one
side and some of the members OF the
United States Senate on the other.
Mr.. Brown spoke in the Senate TO the
resolution of Senator BOrah directing
the Senate committee on the judiciary
TO make an inquiry concerning the legal
effect upon state securities of the adop~
ton of the income tax amendment to the
constitution.
He devoted his efforts especially TO
demonstrating that the New York gov
ernOr had been wrong in his assump-
ton that the amendment would have the
effect of laying a burden on the states.
Accepting the governors pronounce
ment as an evidence of opposition, Mr.
Brown declared that, in his antagonism,
Governor Hughes stands alone among
all the governors who have addressed
their legislatures on the subject of the
amendment
President Taft Quoted.
Alabama. Ohio, Virginia, New Jersey
and other states have governors who
not only favor comforting the power,
he said, but favor the proposed amend
ment, which, if adopted, Confers the
power. 1t cheers our hearts TO read in
the press that President Taft agrees
with the governor of New Jersey, who,
in his message to his legislature on Feb
ruary Z, and since the New York mes
sage was transmitted, took immediate
and direct issue with the governor OF
New York
Calling attention to the fact that no
one in Congress or out had pointed to
the possible effect of the amendment
on state affairs, Mr.. Brown said:
In this body the state Of New York
enjoys representation of the highest
character and most eminent ability, and
vet New York, on the roll CALL as
shown in the Congressional Record, was
in favor of this amendment as it passed
Congress and was silent as to any sug-
gestiOn that the language was faulty.
have greater respect for New York In
the Senate than 1 have for New York
out of the Senate on this question.
Governors Cut No Figure.
The fathers provided that amend
ments to the constitution should be rat
ifieG by state legislatures. Approval OF
the governors is not required. They dc
not even have the power to veto a legis-
lative ratification resolution of any pro-
posed amendment, although l suppose
as a friend of the state, a sort of anxious
Curiae q governor may volunteer a
