BIG LUMBER RATE CASE
CONTINUED From Page One)

Phoenix and points in the southern
part Of the state.
The Southern Pacific and other
railroads operating in the southern
part Of Arizona Immediately took
| action in opposition to the new
rates. Two days before they took
effect bill of complaint was filed
with the Federal Judge Sawtelle to
secure an injunction preventing the
commission from carrying out its
order II was only at the last min
ute, after hunt extending over
most of Coconino county that the
Judge was located, and then appli
cation for the injunction was held
iup on advices from Espee head
quarters at San Francisco.
The present complaint which was
filed by Charles r. Mccormick, pres
ident of large Los Angeles lumoer
land shipping concern, while it names
the Southern Pacific and other rail
roads as defendants is really aimed
at the rate-making power of the
Arizona commission. At the hear
ing. it is stated the famous Shreve-
port case will be cited in support of
the contention that the state rate
making body does not have severe
ign power, where intra- state rates
conflict with interstate tariffs.

Cotton Rates Up.
Transcotinental cotton rates. which
would result in an increase of ten
cents per 100 pounds on shipments
from Phoenix and Salt river valley
points. will elso come IN for argu-
ment at the Los Angeles session.
The rates proposed would abolish
the privilege of stopping shipments
IT, transit for COMPRISING, and while
the transcontinental tariff would APP
rarently be reduced from 30 to 81
Icents. cotton growers claim that il
the new rate goes into effect il
will materially affect the industry
in this section w. S. Dorman
representing the Mesa cotton ex-
change and others will join the cor
poration commission in opposing the
granting of the new tariff. Another
case in which Arizona is interested
is that involving advances on tir
leans and other commodities between
California and points in this state
Although set for January 4, it is
probable that the lumber rate ease
will not come up until a week later
owing to the California milling case
which is due to be argued at the
same time. Other cases will also be
carried forward so that the hearing
may last over two weeks.

WASHINGTON. Dec 27.-Secretary
Bryan has received word unofficially
of General Scott's plan to prevent
firing into American territory. which
is approved by all factions in Sonora.
1t provides that Gen. Gil's Carranzstas
will abandon Naco and he permitted
to go unmolested to Aqua Prieta.
which is already held by a portion Of
his troops Governor MaytOrena will
agree to occupy Naco, which hence
forth will become absolutely neutral.
The plan is favored from the Amer
lean standpoint because the fighting
either at Aqua Prieta or NOgales is
not close enough to American towns
to produce situation like that at
Naco, where stray bullets constantly
fell on American soil.

|. GILL IS AGAINST
AUTO BUS PLAN

Mayor Gill, assuming TO act as
the legal headlight of the city
council, finds a constitutional flaw
in the plan of the city utilities com
mittee to purchase two buses from
George Gunther TO connect Lake
Burien line and Division A of the
municipal railway and TO do a pas
senger business in the downtown
section of Seattle.
The plan was to pay for the
buses out of the bonds voted for
the municipal railway.
What. ho!" says the mayor. "A
bus is not a street car A bus
line is not railway line. There
fore you cannot use those bonds. ="
OF course. street railway bonds
have been used TO pay for several
things incidental to the street rail
way, and buses would come under
the same classification, but then.
you see, the mayor has another
reason for opposing the plan.
The second reason is that he
doesn't like the bus idea at all.
