through the use and development Of the
natural resources.
With the filing of the petition in inter
vention Utah will become the first state
10 take an actual stand, as a state,
against the public domain policy OF the
federal government, Not only the oues-
ton involved In the specific suits now
pending, but many other issues. such
as those pertaining to the rights OF home
steaders, mining prospectors and the
grazing interest. will enter into the In
tervening petition.
G. 4, Iverson. assistant attorney gen.
oral. said after the conference that the
petition probably would be filed within
the next few days.
II will cite the states absolute owner
ship OF water, as conceded by the ma
tional government. and the right OF the
state to grant to companies or indIvldu-
ais the privilege OF developing and using
the water power within the state, 1t
VIII contend that the federal government
has no right TO abridge or nullfy that
right by prohibiting the use OF the pub
lie domain for rights of-way for power
transmission and otherwise interfering
power
1T simply amounts 10 this" said Mr.
lverson. "The state has granted 10 these
companies the right 10 develop the water
power and. because OF the attitude OF
the federal government. is not able TO
guarantee the enjoyment OF those rights
So far as the individual companies are
involved the state has no concern. but
II is the larger question OF the welfare
OF the entire commonwealth and all the
people OF the commonwealth. that is at
issue. For that reason the action OF the
state in becoming an ntervenor will
practically amount to a declaration OF
stale rights"
In the case OF the Utah Power G.
Light company, which took over the Tel
luride interests. the federal government
brought suit in the local United States
court TO force the company off the public
domain. The government won and the
company is now prosecuting an appeal to

Block System Next.

While the commission has not consid.
cred the practitability Of the applica-
tion of the block system, TO the making
of freight rates. it is known that the
question NAV be taken up almost at
any time With a standard freight rate
once established between blocks instead
of between points. and all other rates
stated in percentages of the standard,
the mystery of the present complicated
maze OF freight rates, in the opinion OF
the commission = experts, would be
solved.
The basis of the classification pre-.
seribed by the commission is that all
articles vi merchandise of ordinary
value are TO be carried at first class OF
ordinary merchandise rates. Articles OF
food and drink. with few exceptions
are second class and are TO be carried
at - per cent OF the first class rates.
The rates for newspapers and periodi-
Gals. as well as for bread and such ar
ticles for which specially low rates are
charged. are substantially the same as
the present rates.

vincod that friendly efforts to medlate
,yopId nrove effective. Officials here
hone that the effort to put an end TO
hloodshcd and destruction OF property
would appeal TO public opinion IN Mex
10, and unite the factions on peace
I1ttIe Of an affirmative nature came
from President Wilson or Secretary
Rrvnn today to indicate what the fu-
fure policy OF the Washington govern
meut would be, though the acceptance
of the resignation OF EmDassador men
~ lane Wilson settled finally that his
recommendation for recognition OF the
Huerta government after period OF
military cooperation in northern Mex
leo on the part Of the United states TO
restore peace had been rejected.
II became known that the embassa'
doris conference with Secretary Bryan
at times became heated and that dis
agreement arose over the formal ac
ceptance of the resignation. The en-
bassador had expected that tne Presl-
dent would commend him for his activ.
ity at his post on the occasion OF vari-
Gus emergencies and that some mention
should be made approving his record
Secretary Bryan carried the suggestion
10 the president. but on returning FOR
further conference with the emDassa-
dor announced the resignation IN prac'
tically the same form as agreed on ear
lier in the day, though special proVl.
sion was made for the protection OF
the embassador's s personal effects IN
MeYico CITY during his absence.
The ambassadors views and actions
at Mexico City in the closing days OF
The Taft administration were described
officially as at variance with those held
bv President Wilson and Secretary Rry-
an and a rciteration came from hIgh
officials that the morality OF the situa-
tion would not permit the recognition
of Provisional President lluerta on ac-
count OF the circumstances surrounding
the death of Madero and Suarez.
Sympathy for Liberals.
While officials Of the administration
here look with disfavor upon the pro-
cesses of armed revolution to over
throw constituted government IN Latin
America, there is a distinct feeling Of
sympathy manifest toward the liberal
movement in Central America, Of which
Maderos administration was the be"
ginning in Mexico Arguments, there"
fore. that il was necessary to have IN
Mexico the "irop hand of DiaZ, which
might he expected in Huerta, failed TO
make an impression on government Of
ficials here, who believe that Latin
American governments cannot thrive on
the extremes of civil tyranny or mill
tary relationships.
These ideas probably will be reflected
in whatever pronouncements the presl-
dent may make in the near future and
form the keystone of the administra
ton IS policy toward the Latin repub~
lies.

Fallacious Reasoning.

This is equivalent 10 saving com
merts Commissioner Marble IN his re-
port, THAT inasmuch as shippers have
been given the convenience and
economy OF the parcel post. the express
carriers must or that account be allowed
10 charge higher rates than otherwise
would be reasonable. That is to say.
the commission is called on TO take
from the shippers OF the country all the
benefit they receive from the parcel
post and give IL TO the express com
panes in tho form of higher rates on
The remaining business.
The new system of rates is not only
4 simplifica;ion of existing rate meth
uds. bat in the opinion OF rate experts
LAYS the foundation for future practice
In all raie rrNisions.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-08-05
Lanes Findings Approved.

The report and order of the commits
sion prepared by Commissioner John
Marble are a virtual affirmation of the
findings of former commissioner
Franklin X. Lane, new secretary of the
interior.
BY prescribing the so called block
system, dividing the United States into
$50 blocks, averaging $500 square miles,
as originally proposed by Mr.. Lane,
900,000,000 different rates now pub
lished by the express companies will be
reduced TO less than 65o,o00. and the
interstate commerce commission be-
lieves that the system points the way
10 a solution OF the existing problem
of freight rates.
The express com janies had flied
statements indicating that the loss OF
revenue under the proposed rates would
be intulera5ie, and argued strenuously
that toe establishment of the parcel
ust had deprived them of 80 per cent
.. the revenue they formerly received
from parcels Of eleven pounds or less.
I ney oonteDded that the express busi.
ness could not survive the losses from
both sources.

WASHINGTON Aug. 4.-Rcduc-

the companies fully s2eo00,000 year,
approximately l6 per cent Of their
gross revenue. were ordered by the in
terstate commerce commission today,
TO become effective on or before DC.
tober Is, 1918. Notable reforms In
practices also were ordered.
The most important change pre-
scribed by the order is by WAY of
modification Of the present graduated
scale Of parcel rates. One hundred
pound rates for short distances either
have been left unchanged or slightly
reduced; for longer distances they
have been lowered; for fifty pounds
or less all rates have been reduced,
For packages more than four pounds
going more than 200 miles and less
than 1000. the new express rates arc
generally lower than the parcel post
rates; for more than 1000 miles the
rates are practically the same.
