Canadian Immigrants
To Get the Preference

The Eastern trunk line railroads and
their transcontinental connections here
after will haul immigrants from New
York and other Atlantic ports to their
destinations in British Columbia at q
considerable lower rate Of fare than II
charges immigrants who go to Pacific
coast points in the United States.
The reason is that the all-Canadian
Pacific railroad hauls them from Mon
treai and other ports to British Colum-
bia for less than the American roads
charge, and the latter want to grab the
business.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
today granted the request to put in the
lower schedule of fares, the railroads,
however. being at pains to stipulate In
their petition that the low rates are
available only to Canadian settlers en-
tering by United States ports.
Hereafter It will cost the Slav for q
ticket from New York to Spokane 81 10
more than 1t costs his brother who de-
cides to settle at Nelson, D. c., about
the same distance from New York.

providing for direct vote for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United
States at party primaries to be held the
first Tuesday In April.
The Cavanagh bill provides that five
hundred voters may file petition with
