RUSSIAN TREATY
. HAS TERMINATED
NO AGREEMENT EXISTS
For the First Time in Eighty Years
Two Nations Are Without Agree
ment Governing Their Trade Rela
tiOns--Busincss Interests of Both
Countries Are Interested.

Washington, Dec 23-The termi-
ton of the Russian treaty abrogated
by congress because Of Russias atti-
tude on the passport question which
becomes effective January l, leaves
the two nations for the first time in
so years without an agreement to
govern their. trade relations and
presents situation unprecedented.
Naturally the great business inter-
ests of both countries has displayed
the greatest anxiety to know on what
footing they may continue their op-
erations after December 81.
The result of many months of care
full consideration of the subject has
left the officials here in the dark ex-
cept as to the broad conclusion that
status quo SO far as it relates to
trade may remain unchanged. provid-
ing neither country does anything
that might be regarded as discrimina-
tory against the other. 1t appears
that the sole effect of the termina-
tion of the treasy as to the United
states VIII be to deprive Russian con-
suls of the right to administer es-
tates of Russians dying in America
and to deal with disputes between the
captains and crews of Russian YES
sells in American ports. The great
volume of trade between the two
countries is expected to remain unim-
paired. though there are indications
that the Russian overnment contem-
plates some change in its tariff law
that may affect unfavorably the i'm
portation of agricultural machinery
hardware and perhaps cotton. So
long as these, increases are not direct
ed specifically against American pro-
ducts they cannot be regarded as dis
criminatory and as warranting retail
iatory measures.

Washington. Dec. 23.-Railroad
companies and steamship combina-
tions control the regular steamship
lines of the United States and have
destroyed competition on many of
the water highways of commerce
declared Luther Conant Jr., commits
sioner of corporations, in a report to
President Taft.
The revelations Of the report, based

In practically all the coast waters
of the county it is declared, rail-
road or steamship consultations

control of both through passenger
and package-freight trade is especial
ly striking, says Commissioner Com
ant on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
aa1 on the Great Lakes. Water lines
along the eastern seaboard, he adds,
have become TO a large extent auXil-
iaries or subsidiaries of railroads.
While competition exists in greater
measure on the Pacific coast, the
commissioner points out important
instances of railroad control there.
1t is a striking fact. says Commis-
sioner Conant that between number
of the more important ports on the

RECOMMEND M|LLAGE TAX FOR O.A.
c. AND UNIVERSITY OF OREGON

Recommending that provision be
made for the maintenance of the
University of Oregon and Oregon Ag-
ricultural college by a millage tax
and that the county school supervis-
ion law be tried two years more were
the two most important actions taken
by the school officials of Umatilla
county who met in an annual con-
vention in this city Saturday. Other
resolutions upon which the teachers
also voted We're adopted.
Only two votes We're cast against
the mil!age tax resolution on the
grounds that the people had already
settled that question at the polls.
However, other speakers pointed out
that the defeat of the bill was caus-
ed, not by opposition to the principle,
but because OF the clause which pro-
vided for a single board of regents
as well as a millage tax
The resolution to continue the ru-
raj supervision provoked much dis
cussion, a number of speakers con-
demning the practice, while others
championed it as stronly When put
