THE STATES MAY REGULATE
Missouri and Kansas Interested in a
Late United States Supreme
Court Decision.

Washington, D. C--Summarizing
the decision of the supreme court of
the United States in the Minnesota
state rate case, Attorney General Nc
Reynolds said:
THE court holds that congress, in
the interstate commerce act. has not
deprived the state of the right of fix
ing maximum intrastate rates. They
still have that power. In contrasting
a rate fixed by the state on the ground
that the rate is confiscatory, the de-
cision says that the burden of proof
of confscation falls upon the railroad.
The court found that the Minneapolis
& St Louis railroad had established
that the rates affecting them were
confiscatory, but that the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern had failed
in such proof

REDUCES REVENUE
PROPOSED CHANGES IN TARIFF
LAWS WILL BE SOMEWHAT
RADICAL.
GUT OF S26, 500, 900 IN SIGHT
Some of This Loss Will Be Made Up
by CountervaiIing Duties-Income
Tax Expected to Produce
Large Income.

Washington, d. C-Changes in the
Underwood tariff bill by the senate
finance subcommittee, transferring
proposed dutiable articles to the free
list, will aggregate an estimated an
nuaI loss in revenue to the govern
ment of nearly $1,500,0O0 year.
This curtailment of the total esti-
mates for revenue under the house
bill is based only on articles known
to have been transferred to the free
list thus far upon subcommittee rec
cancellations, and does not take into
account the decreases in duties which
will be proposed on many articles in
the various schedules. Added to the
SIS, 100000 estimated loss in revenue
under the house bill free list, this
would aggregate S26,50O,000.
Included in the senate list are the
revenues that would be derived from
hemp, which the Underwood bill
makes dutiable, but which the senate
subcommittee has decided should be
transferred to the free list Hemp
will be sent to the caucus on free list
on the ground that it belongs there
If other products of the farms, such
as cattle and wheat, are to be free
listed, as it would result in cheaper
Irvine to the farmers and compensate
them somewhat by reducing their har-
vesting expenditures. Hemp, both
plain and hacked, the subcommittee
proposes to remove from the dutiable
list, the former from $11.2O ton and
the latter from 1 cent a pound in the
Underwood bill
Some of this loss in revenue may
be made up by cOuntervailing duties
on certain agricultural products, but
this amount, it is estimated, would
not be large.

THE SENATE BALKS
UNITED STATES MAY NOT RE-
NEW THE ARBITRATION
TREATIES.
A LONG DEBATE is PROMISED
The British Attitude on the Panama
Canal Tolls Question Leads to Stir
ring Arguments-Twenty Three
Treaties Affected.

Washington, D. C--The principle
of compulsory arbitration written into
the code that has bound the United
States with twenty-four great and
lesser nations of the world for the
last five years is in danger, and I'M
less there is decided change in SEN
timent in the senate the renewal OF
twenty-three of the treaties which
gave concrete evidence of this Ma
tons belief in such a policy may
re impossible.
In executive session, the senate
again failed to ratify renewals of the
arbitration agreement with Great
Britain, Italy and Spain, which recent
ly expired. These conventions pro-
vide that questions relating to the in
depreciation of treaties, excepting
those that cannot be settled through
diplomatic channels or those of vital
interest, national honor or indepen-
dence, shall be submitted to The
Hague. similar treaty with France
already has been renewed.
The main argument arose over the
contention that if the treaty with
Great Britain is ratified the Panama
Canal tolls question would have to be
submitted to The Hague, but in the
discussion the Japanese question and
the general attitude of the Nation
toward compulsory arbitration was
brought up, and led to the expression
of views utterly at variance with en-
trance into such binding agreements
in the future.
A motion to re-refer the three
treaties to the foreign relations COM
mittee with instructions that the one
with Great Britain be modified SO as
to exempt specifically the Panama Ca
nal tolls question was abandoned, but
prolonged debate was predicted for
future sessions, and friends of the
principle of arbitration were alarmed
at the strength displayed by the op-
position.
Some senators showed a disposition
to criticise the making of compulsory
arbitration agreements, even if they
bound only in cases which do not af-
feet vital interest, national honor or
independence.

The degree of sadness of the Irish
sea is the Indicator Prof H. Bassett
proposes to use for long distance
weather predictions. The salinity is
found to vary in a period of about one
year, with corresponding changes in
temperature. the water being more
salty and relatively warmer in winter
and spring and fresher and relative
ly cooler in summer. 1t is argued that
the alterations of temperature must
affect the number and character of
the cyclones coming from the ocean.
The changes of saiinity and their time
of occurrence Aave been found to pre-
cede certain seasouable types of

STILL AFTER LOBBY
MANY SENATORS HAVE GIVEN

NOW CALLING UPON OUTSIDERS
Indications Are That the President
Will Be Upheld in His Contention
Former Members of Con-
gress to Testify.

Washin gton.-When the last senator
had testified before the special COM
mittee hunting for the lobby, it was
predicted at the Capitol that the re-
port of the investigators would sub
stantially uphold President Wilson's
declaration that powerful influences
have been at work in Washington, at
tempting to affect Congress on the
tariff bill
Whether it will be shown that in
sidious'' methods have been used, or
that improper influences have been
exerted upon senators, will depend
apon the evidence of the next few
days, when the committee examines
score or more of men, who have
called on senators or directed pub
1icity campaigns.
The committee undoubtedly will
recommend restrictive legislation of a
strong character 1t will attempt to
draw a clear distinction, however, be-
tween an organized campaign to
change public opinion or influence
senators against their judgment and
the legitimate presentation of argu-
ments and facts by officers or repre-
sentatives of industrial concerns at
fected by legislation.
Senator Poindexter made the com
mittee sit up when he named several
former members of Congress who he
believed might be found to have prac-
ticed lobbying here. He named eX-
Senator Dick of Ohio, ex-senator But
Ter of North Carolina, ex-senator. Du-
bois of Idaho and ex-Representative
