ABUSE FRANK PRIVILEGE.
Congressman Use 1t to Foster Sugar
Trust, is Charge.

Washington, June 12.-How the
government printing office and post
office department helped in the fight
against free sugar and how the con-
gressional frank sent tons of anti
free sugar literature circulating
throughout the land was brought out
today in the senate lobby investiga-
tion.
Truman G. Palmer, Washington
representative of the United States
sugar industry, was on the stand the
entire day and was subjected to a
sweeping cross-examination.
He testified that more than 1,500,-
600 copies of arguments in behalf of
beet sugar had been turned out by
the government printing office, made
public documents by order of con-
gress, and had ridden on franks of
senators and representatives to the
ends of the country postage free.
Sugar at a Glance" prepared by
him, he said, had attained circula-
tion of 100000 copies under the
frank of Senator Lodge
Franks of Senator Smoot, former
Senators Curtis and Dick and late
Representative Melby, former Repre-
sentative Pickett and Representative
Martin had swelled the total to more
than a million and a half pieces of
literature.
The printing of some of this mat
ter was paid for by the beet sugar
people, the witness said, but free
postage saved them about $2S,OO0.
Senator Poindexter took the stand
today and asked permission to with
draw the name of former Senator
Dubois of Idaho as one of the for
mer members of congress he thought
might be in Washington to influence
legislation. In naming him l did
him an injustice" said Poindexter.
Il was in error connecting him with
tariff matters"

SPECIAL GRAZING PERMITS.
Forest Reservations Opened Because

Spring droughts in the west have

The district forester at Missoula,
Mont, has issued a prospectus out
lining the grazing possibilities on the
forests under his jurisdiction. Ac-
cording to this statement there are
unused areas in the national forests
of northern Idaho and western Mon
tana which are capable of supporting
a large number of sheep. The for

weeds and browse. water is abun-

These ranges are more or less in

NIT of raising feed in quantities suf-
ficient to keep cattle through the
winter.
The expense of shipping sheep in
by rail and removing them before
snow falls is not, according to the
forest service, prohibitive, especially
in cases where home ranges are bar
rem and where a considerable number
of a stockman's sheep might be ex-
pected to die of starvation during the
summer. Sheep owners in eastern
Washington have before now sent
their flocks by rail into Idaho and
Montana, sometimes having them re-
turned home and at other times ship
ping them through to the east in the
fall. One company shipped from
Casco, Wash, to Cabinet, Idaho, Sc
curing a rate of $40 a car in ten-car-
load lots, or total shipment charge,

About 400 sheared sheep can be load
ed into car when going to the
range, and $50 when returning.

STATES MAY FIX RATES
U. S. Supreme Court Gives States
Right to Fix Intrastate Fares
on Railroads.

Washington, June 10.-Staunchly
upholding the authority of the states
to regulate railroad rates within
their own borders, the United States
supreme court today declared consti-
tutional a Minnesota law reducing
freight and passenger rates within
| that commonwealth.
The deathblow aimed at States
rights" by forty allied railroads af-
fecting six states Immediately, and
every state in the union ultimately
was defeated by the decision, which
was read by Justice Charles E.
Hughes. 1t was specifically stated
that intrastate rate regulation by
state railroad commissions is not in
| reference with interstate COM
merce or usurpatioR of federal pow
ers.
The decree is generally considered
great victory for the states as
against the railroads.
The court held that states can
regulate intrastate rates when con-
gress has not acted in that field,
subject to the rights of the railroads
to apply to the court to ascertain
whether the rates made are confisca-
tory.
The court held in the Minnesota
case that 2-cent fares were reason
able as to the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern cases but were con-
fiscatory as to the Minneapolis &
st. Louis railroad. The court de-
clared:
Il. The constitution gives con-
gress authority adequate to secure
freedom of interstate commercial in
tercourse from state control and to
provide regulation of that inter-
course from state control and to pro-
vide regulation. of that intercourse
as national interest may desire.
%. Commerce that is confined
within one state and which does not
affect other states is reserved to the
state. This reservation is only of
that power which is consistent with
the grant to congress. The authority
of congress extends to every part of
interstate commerce and every in
strumentality and agency by which
1t is carried on, and full control by
congress over the subject committed
to its regulation is not to be denied
or thwarted by the commingling or
intrastate and interstate operations"

A TRIBUTE
TO ASHLAND
JUDGE KELLY SAYS ASHLAND
CITIZENS MOST PATRIOTIC.
ELKS FLAG SERVICES WERE fine
Ashland Lodge No. 944, B. p. o. f.,
Held Annual Flag Day Services
Last Saturday Evening at ElI1s
Temple.

Judge E. E. Kelly of Medford, who
delivered the Flag Day address at
Elks Temple Saturday evening, paid
a high tribute to the people of Ash
land. In discussing patriotism he
stated that the most patriotic man
was the one who was most loyal to
his country as citizen and in keep
ing her laws. Measured by this rule,
he stated, Ashland was by far the
most patriotic community in the
county. During his five months SER
vice as prosecuting attorney it had
cost much less to the county because
OF criminals than any other section
or community.
Judge Kelly is a veteran of the
Spanish-American war and paid a
high tribute to the Grand Army of
the Republic, but said that it was a
higher patriotism to so conduct the
affairs of the nation as to render war
unnecessary than to have to fight for
the country. Mr.. Kelly was heartily
applauded throughout the entire ad-
dress.
The program of the evening was
carried out substantially as hereto
fore published, except that the delay

caused by delayed trains, necessitated
a changing of the order of several of
the excellent musical numbers. These
consisted of a couple of delightful
solos by Miss Doris Bagley, a selec-
tion by the Elks quartet, one by
mixed quartet consisting of Mesdames
c. B. Wolf and F.. E. Conway and
Messrs. A. c. Strickland and NJ. E.
Briggs. These numbers were fine
and were heartily encorsed. Profess
sor McMurray sang a beautiful solo,
followed by delightful encore. Miss
Beatrice Miller recited brakes
poem, "The American Flag" with
feeling and effect. There was also
delightful music throughout the
evening by Pedersen's orchestra. The
services closed with the singing of
America" by the audience, with or
chestral accompaniment.
The members of the G. A. R., w.
r. c. and 1st Co., c. A. c., attended
as bodies, the artillery boys being in
full dress uniform.

HELP PREVENT FIRES
State Fire Warden Asks the Assist
ance of Jackson County Citi-
Zens in the Work.

Now that the dry season is at hand
again everyone is anxious to prevent
damage and loss to any and all per-
sons by forest fires. The hearty CO.
operation of every person who may
live in or near or frequents the for
ests is solicited. Big and dangerous
fires all start from little ones. An
unextinguished match, burning to-
bacco in any form, or the smallest
campfire might start fire that
would destroy hundreds or even
thousands of dollars worth of tim
Der or improvements and endanger
human lives. 1t is hoped that every
person will be extremely careful with
all fire, and alert to report any for
est fire seen this season.
B. l. Shannon, state supervising
warden for Jackson county, with
headquarters at Medford, will have
charge of all state, county and pri-
vate patrol work in this county and
will cooperate with forest supervis-
ors of the national forests to the
greatest possible extent
1t is hoped that residents of the
county will give their hearty support
and consult him in regard to burning
permits, ETC., of local nature. He
will be in touch with all local ward
ems and will gladly refer requests for
information to the warden nearest
you for any information or assistance
he may be able to give. A list of
local wardens with their addresses
and telephone numbers will be pub
lished in the local papers when such
appointments are made.
1t will be impossible for the state
forester to personally inspect all the
work done by the numerous supervis-
ing wardens in his employ, and their
success will depend very largely upon
the support they receive from people
whom the forestry law is intended to
aid and protect.

Washington, June 11.-Attorney
General McReynolds disapproved
both the latest plans for dissolution
of the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific merger which few days ago
was submitted by the Union Pacific
to the United States court at st.
Paul. The attorney general will at
tend the hearing on plans to be held
at st. Paul Thursday by Circuit
Judges Sanborn, Hook and Smith
and will oppose the adoption of eth
er plan on the ground that each is
too vague to meet the requirements
of the supreme court decision order
ing the dissolution of the merger.
McReynolds said tonight he would
not go before the court with an in
sistence on receivership for the
merger as he said it was a question
for the court to decide.
If plan satisfactory to the court
is not submitted by July 1 the SUI

RUMORS ARE REVIVED
RpOrts That MedfOrd is to Have n
Line to Eureka, Cal, Again
Circulated.

Medford Sun: According to a
Eureka, Cal, capitalist, Medford will
soon be connected by a Hill railroad
to the Blue Ledge mines, and thence
to Eureka, the largest city in the
United States today without a rail-
road. He bases his belief on the
many teams and surveying gangs at
work between the two places, ac-
knowledged to be in the employ of
Hill. According to reports the road
has already been surveyed
Men on the inside" have always
acknowledged that road to Eureka
would be Medford's outlet to the sea.
The road would strike Wietchpec and
then follow the klamath river to
Happy Camp, an easy grade all the
way. Then a mile Of tunnel through
the Siskiyous would have to be con-
structed, and straight path would
remain to Jacksonville and Medford.
A straighter route than this could
hardly be imagined
The fact that Eureka is a city of
$4,000 people, in the heart of the
finest redwood district in the world
helps to explain Hills evident desire
to tap it with railroad. Eureka has
the finest harbor on the Pacific coast
between San FranciccO and portlond
so that road to this place is readily
seen to be a feasible proposition.
Incidentally a bee-line between
Medford, the heart of fruit district.
and Eureka, the heart of timber
district, misses by less than six miles
the richest copper district in the
world, Blue Ledge. Thus such a rail
road would kill two plump birds
with one stone"
With the thousands of cars of fruit
that are to be shipped from Medford
in few years, besides cement, coal,
timber and other inevitable products
of Rogue River Valley, competing
railways is Medford's only logical
fortune. Although many Medford
people have seen the crews of men
at work on the proposed route, the
greatest proof of the completion of
the Medford-Eureka railway is the
feasibility of the plan.
