Lewiston, Idaho, April l9.-(Spe-
cial. AS secretary of the Columbia
and Snake River Waterways associa-
tion. Wallace r. Struble has forward
ed to President Wilson copies of the
Panama canal free tolls resolution
adopted by the convention at It's ses-
sion In Pendleton. Mr.. Struble has
also taken up the matter of free tolls
with Senator Brady of Idaho.
Following is the text of the letter
to President Wilson;
Lewiston. Idaho. April is, 1913.
President Woodrow Wilson, White
House, Washington, ID. c.
Press reports credit YOU holding
opinion that free tolls for American
shipping at Panama canal constitute
subsidy. to which principle you are
opposed. | call your attention to the
fact that imposition of tolls virtually
means a subsidy to transcontinental
railways. which will inevitably add
the amount of Panama tolls to
through shipments to Pacific coast
points. Opposition to free tolls is
evidently being fostered and financed
by large railway interests. The de-
velopment of the Pacific coast will
be greatly enhanced by free tolls, and
this question has tremendous interest
among consumers here. l hold that
arbitration should precede congress
sional action and respectfully suggest
that Joseph ~ Teal of Portland, Ore

tolls before the arbitration commits
sion Many of the arguments for tolls
at the Panama canal logically lead to
"A tax on every waterway and for the
use of any canl or Improvement own

value of the government-impro

Bryan's telegram read:
THE president desired me to say
that while he fully recognizes the
right of the people of California to
legislate according to their judg-
ment on the subject of land tenure,
he feels it his duty TO urge the rec
ognition of the international charac-
or of such legislation, being anxious
to preserve and strengthen the stand
ing friendly relations existing between
this country and nations of the orient,
and he very respectfully but most
earnestly advises against the use OF
the words ineligible to citizenship"
He asks you to bring this view to the
attention of the legislature. He be-
lieves the senate bill as telegraphed
to the department of state is greatly
to be preferred. That bill limited
ownership to citizens and those who
had declared their intention to be-
come citizens"

MREYNO[DS LOOKS
INTO BIG MERGER SUI
FEDERAL AUTHORITIES CONSIDFu
ADvISABILITY OF ACTION.
Policy of Government has Been in Rail
road Antitrust Actions to Force
Carriers to Make Common
Cause Together.

Observation-Disclosures Me.
Reynolds has directed that attorneys IA.
miliar with the cases under the anti.
trust law brought against railroads 9.
over the record upon which Attorney.
General Collins Of Mississippi is attack.
ing the validity of the merger of III,
Illinois Central and the Yazoo g. Mis,is.
sippi Valley Railroads with u view to
determining whether the federal govern
ment should or should not bring SUIT.
The whole matter has been before tina
department ever since Mr.. Collins filed
his suit, but owing to other business. NOT
much attention has been paid to tho
subject.
Prosecutions of railroads under the
antitrust act are not SO frequent because
the policy OF the interstate
commission points toward q uniffcation
of the railroads into n system of ma
tional highways. The commission, when
a rate is challenged, either as unreason-
able or discriminatory, proceeds against
all carriers participating in the tariffs
naming the challenged rate. When it
makes an order it directs it to leave the
carriers. directing all to observe a par
ticular rate as the maximum charge to
be made.
The effect of such action Is to force
railroads to act together whether they
want to or not. When the two railroads
merge, the commission makes that a rea-
son for reducing the rate to a "oneline-
haul basis. So long as there il no mer-
ger the commission allows a higher rate
than for a single line haul. For instance.
il the Y. & NJ. V. were independent, the
joint rate from Baton Rouge or any
other y. & NJ. Y. point to Chicago would
be higher than a rate that is now made
via the merged systems.
There has been, however, no attack
upon a merger of parallel lines in which
the facts have been like those which
will be brought out when the Mississippi
case comes to trial.
They are parallel lines between New
Orleans and Memphis. Beyond that
point they are not competitors and mer-
ger between them raises no question. The
first thing to be decided by Mr.. Mickey
nolds is as to the consolidation. in view
of the fact that for more than the sys-
tenn there is nc competition. The VA
zoo & Mississippi Valley maintains y
separate corporation existence, but of
course the Illinois Central owns a con.
| trolling interest in the stock.
