The fight over lemon rates has been
in progress since 1902, and originally
involved the question of competition
with Sicily 1t has been bitterly
fought and became one of the first
causes of conflict between the inter
state commerce commission and the
new commerce 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 competition and remanded
the case for rehearing-
The decision given today holds the

INSPECTION Law GOOD
But It Applies Only to Grain in
Elevators.

The special commissioner appointed by
the supreme court to make findings Of
fact in the grain inspection case has re-
ported in favor of the constitutionality OF
the law. He finds that the fees are not
excessive and that 70 per cent of the
grain that enters Kansas City from Kan
sas goes into public warehouses and
ought to be inspected The suit was
brought by the attorney general at the
instance of the state to enforce the grain
inspection law passed by the last leg1s-
iature The railroads and elevator conf
panies resisted the collection of fees I'M
der the law. alleging that they were ex-
cessive and that the law was unconstitu'
tional.
The state grain department at Kansas
CITY has been crippled by the action of
the defendants in this case and had to be
helped from the governors contingent
fund The grain department is sustained
from the fees it collects for weighing and

One point in the commissioners finding
in favor of the elevator and railroad COM
panies is that no grain need be inspected

BETWEEN TWO FIRES
President Is Bombarded by Opposing
Pulp and Paper Interests.

Washington, Dec. 29.-American pulp
and print paper manufacturers are
bringing pressure to bear upon Presi-
dent Taft TO induce him to refuse to
yield to the demand of certain European
governments for the free admission of
their pulp and print paper on terms
of equality with the foreign products.
The disposition of the administra ton
has been to let his matter be determin-
ed by the courts, but as this involves
large delay. the Diplomatic protestants
are by no means satisfied and are
adopting measures to show their re-
sentmert.
Count van I3ernstorff, the German am
bassador has informed the state de-
partment that Germany would not ac-
cord to American exporters the reduc-
ed duties, on tools, steel and hard rub
Der accorded to Swedish and Japanese
exporters. under their special treaties,
because America did not admit German
wood pulp and print paper free OF duty.
The ambassador was reminded that
the German exporters would not suffer
by the delay If their claim was just
because they had paid the duties into
which give them the right to recover
in case the court of customs appeals
should decide in their favor, as is ex-
l,ected.
It was thought at first that this ex-
PLANTATION was sufficient but it now ap-
