THE SPOKANE
FREIGHT CASE
Arguments Are Being Heard
in the Supreme Court on
Controversy

Washington. Fob. 2%-Argument was
begun today In the supreme court by
attorneys for Spokane. WASH. and
other inter-mountain cities to obtain
final judicial ruling on the order Of the
interstate commerce commission
granting to those cities freight rates
lower than are granted to Pacific
points on shipments from the east. The
arguments mark the closing phase OF
a*hsht that has extended more thsn
twenty years. -.i
J. A. Fowler, assistant 70 the astor-
ney general enReared for the govern
fnent. H6 outlined the c416, touch
ing on tho constitutionality Of the
long and short haul clause Of the in
terstate commerce law, the validity
Of the interstate commerce commits
sion's order and the action Of the COM
merce court In enjoining enforcement
Of the order ON the ground that the
issue such general instructions.
Mr.. Fowler declared that with
freight rates on shipments from the
east to Spokane as high as to Pacific
coast cities the latter could compete
with Spokane In its natural territory
and thus rob Spokane Of the advan-
tage due to 1t by reason Of its geo.
graphical position. He insisted that
authority to curb the railroads pow
er to advance or retard the growth
Of cities through the manipulation Of
freight rates must rest with some
agency. -
The court will hear further arsu.
ments on Monday.

CRISIS NEAR IN
CUBAN AFFAIRS
Office Hungry Veterans May
Start Trouble Over Su-
prerne Courts Decree

Washington. Feb. 24.-Another cri-
sis In Cuban affairs is apparently at
hand. Reports from the island indi-
cate that the unrest, which was tenn.
porartly quieted by Secretary Knoxs
recent nose of warning. is about to
break out anew as a. result of the
Cuban supreme courts decision in
validating the law outsing the ONCE
holders who were Spanish syn1pathiz-
ers during the revolution.
The literal execution Of the courts
decree would involve the reinstate-
ment Of large number of displaced
omceholders and the dismissal OF the
so-called veterans who were put in
their places.
With this In prospect the leaders
OF the Vetera association are said
to be IN an ugly humor and II they
should attempt to resist the decree.
serious trouble would ensue.
The veterans who are both many
and powerful, abated their demands
for the complete expulsion from gov
ernment positions of all Spanish sym
pathizers only under the pressure Of
the implied threat Of American in
tervention contained in Secretary
knox's note informing the Gomez ad-
ministration that the United States
would insist on the maintenance Of q
republican government In Cuba.

that In his Lincoln's birthday speech
the president argued the people are
not fitted for self government Presi.

sion which could possibly be tortured
into any such construction.
The speech in which the president
made reference to popular govern
ment was delivered at the banquet Of
the state bar association on the night
OF January 20. What he then said
on this subject. and 1t was correctly
quoted In the newspapers the follow
tng day. was this:
Popular government We all be-
lteVe In. There are those among 10
who do not believe all the people are
fitted for popular government. The
fact 10. we know they are not. Some
Of US do not dare so so. but I do and
the question whether a people Is fitted
for popular self-government 80 as to
make that government the best for
that people is determined by the ahil-
ity Of the majority of that people to
place upon itself the restraint by
which the minority shall receive JUS
tice from the majority. It Is the uues.
tion Of self-imposed restraint that de-
termines whether a people Is fit to

position which he declared today ex-
listed ''in some quarters" to discoura se
enlistment in the national guard. ifa
expressed that opinion before the
members of the first battery, field ar
tillery of the national guard of the
District of Columbia. The president
characterized this branch of the ma
tional defense as prime necessity
for war.
IF ever the country is called to
war;" he said. I'VE would need more
light artillery. and because congress
has recognized this it has provided
guns but not enough. to be used in the
national guard Of different states.
There is, in some quarters, a dis
position to discourage enlistment in
the national guard. That is unpatrio-
tic and ought to be frowned UPON.
Every man who enlists should be
made to feel that he Is preparing his
country for a possible emergency"

TARIFF PROGRAM
Being I PLANNED
All Factions and Parties Are
Outlining Their Future
Courses

Washington. Feb. 24.-The tariff
legislation program, in the senate will
be framed at conference with the
Democrats. the progressive Republi-
cans an dthe regular Republicans are
planning to hold very soon after tho
finance committee concludes its hear
ings on the house steel revision bill.
That will be early in March.
Democratic leaders virtually have
decided to make q first stand for the
house measure with perhaps a modi-
f1cation which would not interfere
with party solidarity in congress. and
then having gone on record for the
straight Democratic bill to endeavor
to reach some common ground with
the progressive Republicans.
The regular Republicans have not
yet had a final conference on the
committees procedure, but in all
probab bility will rest on the absence
of a report from the tariff board
and simply bring in an adverse report
on the house measure. They are not
unanimous on that point however.
Some insist that the committee could
report Republican substitute for the
measure passed by the Democratic
house.
Progressive Republican senators
have talked over the situation infor-
mally and while there abs been NO
general conclusion reached. the plan
of some of those most active is to
make some concessions for the Dem
ocrats If the concessions asked are not
too great. The progressive demand
Is for reduction of the duties but
not such reduction as will carry
the tariff below the protective point.
Some Of the more conservative pro-
gressives however, are already dis
cussing the advisa ability of waiting a
reasonable time for the tariff boards
