Lemon Growers Are
Given Lower Rate

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - American
lemon growers today won signal victory
over foreign competitors and the trans
continental railroads when the Interstate
Commerce commission reaffirmed its
previous order, upset by the new com
meroe court, reducing freight rates on
lemons from California to all other points
In the United States from s1.l5 per 100
pounds TO ST.
The fight over the lemon rates has
been In progress since 1909 and originally
involved the question OF competition with
Sicily. II has bitterly fought and be-
came one Of the first causes OF conflict
between tho Interstate Commerce com
mission and the new commereo court.
When the commission originally or
dered the reduction its order was stopped
by the commerce court, which held the
commission had no right to take into
consideration the question Of foreign com
petition and remanded the case for re-
hearing.
The decision given today holds the rate
OF Sl.l5 unreasonable and unjust irrespec-
tive OF the question OF competition, and
orders the carriers to make effective the
lower rate on February Is.
The case was brought in the name OF
the Arlington Heights Fruit exchange
against practically all the transeontI-
mental lines.

La Toilette Argues
Direct Primaries at
s. North Baltimore

NORTH BALTIMORE O.. Dec. 2e.--
Senator r. NJ. La Toilette, on his third
day of progressive missionary work in
Ohio, came here today from Toledo. He
stopped about three minutes at Bowling
Green, where the senator spoke briefly,
saying the time had arrived for the gov
ernment to be restored to the people.
The progressive meeting here was held
in a somewhat picturesque environment,
in a roughly constructed tabernacle that
had been used for relig ,ous revival,
having been turned temporarily to pollt-
ical uses.
The initiative, referendum and the re-
call, the progressive movement in Wis
consin and combinations and trusts were
again discussed, but the main tenor of
his remarks here were on primary elec-
tons in government.
''The very back bone of the true repre-
sentative government is direct primary"
the speaker declared. 1T is the direct
participating in the affairs OF govern
ment by the people through direct prl-
maries for the nomination of candidates"
He said old machine politics have al
ways opposed primary elections.
He said:
'The national republican committee is
almost wholly composed of men opposed
to the primary principle. In its recent
meeting In Washington this committee
went on record not only as opposing
voluntary primary elections in states
where there is no law providing them,
but by failing directly TO recognize the
law in those states that have provided
for the election OF delegates 20 the ma
tional convention In primary elections. +"
