Montana Board Protests

HELENA, June 7.-TariRs incress.

Montana to points in Wisconsin, ILL.,

tive July l, have been filed with the
Montana railroad commission. The
increase amounts to about q over
present rates.
The railroad commission promptly
protested to the interstate commerce
commission against the increase and
requested that they be suspended until
an Investigation Of their reasonable
ness was made. This will have the
effect of placing the burden of proof
upon the railroads. Tariffs increas.
ing rates east OF Montana are looked
for.
Had the Montana commission not
acted promptly the increases would

WHAT IS A

According to q recent Washington
dispatch, On unexpected turn vas
given the senate's lobby investig alton
when Senator Townsend, of Michigan
declared that the influence welded by
President Wilsonland the democratic
secret caucus upon the making OF the
tariff bill, constituted the 'nearest
approach to undue influence upon
members OF congress-" that the in-
vestig ating committee would be able
to ind.
Senator Towneend criticised the
committee for not having asked men,
bers OF the senate whether the preei.
dent had sought to influence them,
and declared that even though the
president hsdlnot intended it, his re.
cent denunciation Of "lobbies' work.
ing In supportlof changes in the tariff
would force certain senators to vote
against amendments they knew to be
just.
Senator T~ownserd's statement ia re.
lation to President Wilson was not il

said he did not charge the presiden,
with using improper methods: but he
insisted thatlthe charges that lobbie;
existed and the activity of the presi
