QUESTION IS BEYOND
The SUPREME COURT
CONGRESS ALONE CAN PASS ON
REFERENDUM.
Court Rules Tax Imposed Under Initia-
tive and Referendum Contained No
Justiciable Question.

Washington.-Only congress, and not
the supreme court of the United States,
may object to the initiative and refer
endum method of legislation in the
states, 50 the court itself decided Mon
day.
The tribunal held that the question OF
whether o state still maintained q re-
publican form of government, guaranteed
by the federal constitution, after it
adopted the initiative and referendum
method, was a political problem for con-
gress, and not q judicial one for the
courtG
Inc decision was based on the claim
of the Pacific States Telephone and Tele-
gfraph Company that a tax upon it, i'm
posed by the initiative and referendum
method In Oregon, was unconstitutional.
The initiative and referendum provisions
in Missouri, California, Arkansas, Colo
RADIO, South Dakota, Utah, Montana,
Oklahoma, Maine and Arizona hung in
the balance. An adverse decision would
have effected proposed legislation OF that
character in many other states.
Chief Justice White announced the de-
cision Of the court. None OF the justices
dissented.

Mr.. Bright said to Mr.. Peabody,
"Have you three half-crowns? have

KNOX WILL NOT
VISIT COLOMBIA
COLOMBIAN MINISTER SUGGESTS
TIMF is INOPPORTUNE."
Minister'S Suggestion Taken in DipIo-
matte Ci.c.ae as Personal Afiront
e This Government.

Washington.-A grave diplomatic SIT
uRtion between the United States ana
Colombia has been p~recipltated by The
publication OF a letter which Senior Pedro
Mel 0spina, the Colombian minister, has
written to Acting Secretary Huntington
Wilson OF the state department, suggest
ing that it might be "inopportune' for
Seer ,tary Knox to visit Colombia during
his projected tour OF Central America.
The Colombian minister, first drawing
attention to the TACT that the views are
his own and not officially those OF his
government, seriously criticises the
United States for not submitting to
arbitration the differences with Colom-
bia growing out of this governments
acquisition Of the Panama canal zone.
lnasmuch az the letter, admittedly, Is
the personal expression OF the minister,
written without having communicated
with his government, it was received at
the state department in the nature OF a
personal insult to this government.
Acting Secretary Wilson had advised
Senior Ospina Of the probable itinerary
of Secretary Knox. What is said to have
particularly aroused the Colombian min
lister was a reference TO the republic Of
Panama in the itinerary, a country
whose independence Colombia never has
recognized. He makes yelled reference
to the long delay of the United States
in answering several notes addressed to
it, seeking arbitration, and charges that
this government has Disseminated
against Colombia In falling to give to
her arbitration, which the United States
is now offering to other members of the
family Of nations.
