Court in regard TO State laws which vio-
late treaty obligations of the United
States.
THE legislation would accomplish
nothing beneficial and would certainly
cause some mischief. and might cause
very grave mischief. In short the policy
OF the administration is to combine the
maximum OF efficiency in achieving the
real object which the people of the Pa
citic Slope have at hear, with the mini
mum of friction and trouble; with the
misguided men who advocate such action
as this against which l protest are fol-
lowing a policy which combines the very
minimum of efficiency with the maximum
of insult, and which. while totally fail
ing to achieve any real result for good
yet might accomplish an infinity OF harm
II in the next year or two the action of
the FedSal government fails to achieve
what il is now achieving, then through
the further action OF the President and
Congress il can be made entirely efficient
am sure that the sound Judgment OF the
people Of California viii support you, Mr.
Speaker, in your effort. Let me repeat
that at present we are actually doing the
very thing which the people OF California
wish to be done, and to upset the ar
rangement under which this is being
done cannot do good and may go great
harm. II in the next year or two the fig
ures prove that the arrangement which
has worked so successfully during the
last six months is no longer working sue
cessfully. then there would be ground for
grievance and for the reversal by the ma
tional government OF its present policy.
But at present the policy is working well.
and until it works badly II would be
grave misfortune to change il. and when
changed it can only be changed effect

After a good deal of discussion We came
to an entirely satisfactory conclusion.
The obnoxious school legislation was
abandoned, and / secured an arrange

IL there was such emigration the United

At q point 100 yards or more above

was plainly evidenced yesterday by the
questioning Of Attorney Do gherty Tor
the commission. In responseS toe mo-
tice sent to all the companies Of the
state on the east side OF the MISSOURI
river, 131 telephone company represent
atives were here for the hearing called
by the railroad commission for an in
vestigatiOn of charges which have been
filed from time to time AZ to the dis
criminat ton of the companies against
subscribers More than half the mana
gers were called to the stand
1t was shown that there Is q differ
ence in the toll rate where q message
AZ sent to a farmer on the rural line,
and he Is charged twice. while the far
nler can telephone to an outside town
with but one charge. Further. It was
brought out, that a person. using the
rural lire. must pay toll while the far
mer may send a message to town free.
The commission Is investigating the
discrimination in the matter OF charges
for telephone service to stock holders
and those who are not: for extra
charges for delivering toll messages on
local exchanges and rural lines; the
discrimination In switching charges
and connection fees and terminal
charges, and also the furnishing Of free
telephone instruments and service In
connection herewith. The last session
sof the legislature adopted a law which
,gives the commission power to make
rules and regula ttOns.

Banquet a Big Success.

The Banquet given Wednesday even
ing at Castle Hall by members of Lin
coin Lodge No. 20, X. of p, was a great
success-unanim0usIy pronounced so by
those in attendance. 1t was the culmi-
nation of a contest for points between
the ''blueS" and the reds" the former
winning, therefore the expense of the
banquet falling upon the "reds." This
is the second successful contest and ban
qnet, which has been the means Of in
stilling new life and membership into
the local X. of P. order. Lincoln Lodge
has been forging ahead the past few
months, the growth being due largely TO
the interest and enthusiasm engendered
by means of the contests.
At the banquet Wednesday evening,
Durant G. Gile apreslded as toastmaster
in pleasing and entertaining manner.
Toasts were responded to by several of
the members present aud the witticisms
and jokes were not few and far between.

determined to scrap. They walized around
called each other all dear names that
they could think of and were about to

man turned up and called it off and fer
fully fifteen minutes it was difficult to
determine who was making the most
noise the scrapers or the policeman, who
was determined that there should be no
fight and 50 yelled from time to time.
At the height of excitment, an ex-alder-

the policeman in running the scrapers
into the cooler where they could secure
rest for the remainder of the night and
make their appearance in police court
in the morning.
