Interstate Commerce Commission To
Put In Entire Time On
Railroad Question

Washington, April IA decision
by the interstate commerce commits
sion on the freight rate increases
asked by the eastern railroads is ex-
pected much earlier than had been
planned. 1t may be handed down
within month.
Recent developments have impelled
the commission to put aside collat-
eral issues and extraneous questions
and devote practically its entire time
to the rate question.
Such questions as spotting car char
ges, free service of various kinds and
similar proposition that have been
considered with the application OF
the roads, IL was understood today
win not be permitted TO interfere fur
Their with the fundamental PROPOSE
| ton Of rate increase.
Work To Bs Rushed
1t 10 the purpose Of the commission
to expedite In every possible way fin
al disposition Of the case and to that
end continuous hearings will be held
until the Testimony shall have been
concluded.
1t is expected then that the case
may be submitted, either on briefs
which now are practically prepared
and without oral argument, or on
briefs with only short arguments.
Counsel for the railroads already
have indicated that they may waive
their right to argue the case orally,
and submit 1t on briefs. They have in
some instances expressed their will
lingness TO stand on the evidence ad,
duced.
It is believed not to be unlikely
that the commission itself may make
announcement of It's purpose to fa
cilitate the disposition Of the case.
Unusual Procedure Method
The method OF procedure outlined
is said to be most unusual.
According to information obtained
today, It is the purpose OF the com
mission to postpone, for the present
consideration OF the car spottinl
charge, free services rendered h!
railroads TO shippers and similar sid,
issues OF the rate advance case, bu

not to abandon them.
When the hearing was resumed to-
day before Chairman Harland and
Commissioners Clements and Nc
Chord, President Delano of the Mon
on explained in detail from charts he
had prepared the plight in which the
roads Of Central Freight association
territory today find themselves.
President Smith of the New York
Central described the financial stu
alton on that system, dwelling at
some length on the necessity, with
which he said, the system had been
confronted of laying off long time and
experienced employees and of curtail-
ing expenditures in improvements.
Reduction OF Forces
Since September, 1913, said Presi-
denr Smith, we have been forced to
reduce our operating force by 1880
men. In February Of this year rs
we had $4,000 less men. Our gross
revenues in 1913 were $49,OOOOOo
more than they were in 1910 yet our
net income was $3,2S4, 900 less than
1t was In 1910 before we had put the
immense amount of new capital into
the property.
In response to an inquiry, Presi-
dent Smith said that of the total Oh
$3.50, 100000 new capital put into the
system since 1910, only $l6,OOO,ooo
had gone into the new terminal tacii-
tiles and Grand Central station III

Irrigation District Will Take the ead In Getting Appropriate

supervisors, and cannot refuse to do
so if the supervisors so direct.
But Mr.. Reid says last year he In
itiated a plan of making collections
which makes it unnecessary to come
here to pay taxes. For the first time
in the county he mailed to every
taxpayer whose address he could
find a statement of the amount of
taxes due and invited the sending of
the money by mail. In payment OF
taxes he took all personal checks that
were mailed. He proposes to follow
that plan in the future if he is re-
elected, unless the supervisors direct
him to collect taxes in the several
towns of the valley.

American Products Suffer.

Chicago, July 31.-The great fluc-
tuation in the value of American
farm products as result of the war
is an index to the great uncertainty
that prevails regarding the future,
and some of the best minds of the
country are trying to figure out what
the final result will be.
The first thought of the specula-
tors was that the war would make
a great demand for foodstuffs, but
the superior strength of the combined
fleets of England, Russia and France
over those of Germany, Austria and
Italy is expected to soon result in
great blockades Of the ports of the
latter countries, thus shutting off a
supply of food from the United
States, while the worlds markets will
be so disarranged that even though
England can secure its usual supply
of cotton, the cotton trade OF that
country will be demoralized.
Should the war continue for long,
ii is believed to be certain that two
Of the great world influences will be
to promote the manufacture OF COM
modities in the United States for
which this country produces the raw
material, and to build up an Ameri-
can shipping Of great magnitude.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-07-31

San Francisco, July 31.-In an i'm
portant decision yesterday the state
railroad commission declared that the
California Development Company, one
of the largest irrigation projects in
California, is monopoly controlling
the water supply of the Imperial Val
lev, and also that it is subject to
TIE jurisdiction of the commission.
The decision is one of principle
only and does not enter upon the
merits of the specific case which 1t
governs. The company announced its
determination to take an appeal to
the state supreme court, and the
commission will do everything within
it's power to hasten a final ruling.
If the supreme court finds in IA
vor of the commission it will reverse
previous decision handed down
three years ago, in which it declared
that the company is not subject to
the commission because it is not q
public utility.
Three individual but interlockinG
complaints underlie today's decision
Adoph Becker and Louis j. Ivy asked
that w. II. Holabird, receiver of the
California Development Company, be
compelled to furnish them with water

While the seriosu illness of his wife
in Los Angeles makes it impossible
for Judge Franklin ]. Cole of the
superior court to devote his time to
campaigning in the county, it seems
certain that he will be reelected by
large majority.
Only on one point has there been
criticism of the position of the judge,
that being that he permitted the Cal
ifornia Development litigation to be
transferred to Los Angeles.
1t is a rule universally followed in
such cases where the attorneys of
both sides join in a petition for trans
fer of a case that the petition be
granted. In this case the attorneys
thus joined and went before the Los
Angeles court with the statement
that the litigation would be closed
up within thirty. days, but, as sum
Imperial Valley press., 1914-07-31
Judge Coles Reelection
Is Apparently Certain

mer was coming on, it would be
impossible to close the case here IN
that time.
On this showing Judge Cole con-
sented to the transfer of the case and
the Los Angeles judges consented to
taking it.
At the time the transfer was made
all the judges were given to under
stand that the case was almost adj
justed and would be settled at once
and, as all the attorneys in the case
and the principals in the litigation
were on the coast, the petition then
seemed reasonable.
Moreover, had the case ben con-
tinud here, it would have been nces-
sary to have another Judge, as this
litigation has taken a great part OF
the time of the judge hearing it, and
the general court proceedings would
have suffered greatly

Tax Collector n. J. Reid
Replies to a Critic

in October, directing that the taxes
must be collected in the several town
ships of the county, or in either
thereof, or any municipal corpora
tion in said county, in which case
the notice by the tax collector must
specify a time and place within any
township or municipal corporation
named in such order, when and where
the tax collector will attend to re-
ceive the payment of taxes"
From this it appears that the mat
ter is in the hands of the supervisors
and not the tax collectors. The tax
collector cannot collect in the other
towns without instructions from the
Imperial Valley press., 1914-07-31

In the Brawley News last evening
Jack Bennett of that city criticised
the method of collecting county taxes
and called upon the two candidates
for the office of tax collector to state
whether they would establish branch
office in Brawley to make collections
in the future.
Mr.. Reid, incumbent and candidate
for reelection, this morning called
attention to the following provision
of the Political Code:
"374S. All taxes must be paid at
the office of the tax collector, unless

made on or before the first Monday

Call q Conference to Select
Delegation To Go To Washington

"San Francisco July 80, 1914-W. O. Hamilton,
President Imperial Irrigation District Ell Centre, Cal
have just read the article in the Brawey News of July
2S and desiring that yourself and the people of the valley
should clearly understand the position of this company
believe it is proper to say to you that apparently some
misapprehensiOn exists with respect to it.
First, do not know how the government debt for
work already done has become mixed up with the ques
1on of future control of the Colorado river They are
two separate questions.
Second The control of the Colorado river for the fu
re is imperative. If not controlled the Imperial Valley
canal system will become worthless
"Third as soon as the Colorado river is controlled
the bonds of the Imperial Irrigation District will become
marketable and acceptable to the Southern Pacific in line
with negotiations heretofore.
Fourth not party to any plan to block the
purchase of the irrigation system by and for the people
of Imperial Valley On the contrary we are for the broad
interests of all the valley in urging control of the Colo
ado river in order that the irrigation system may be
permanent and valuable Hence how to control the Colo
radO river promptly effectively and economically is the
very first question for you.
"The control of the irrigation system is not put in
jeopardy thereby far concerned or can per-
ceive. WILLIAM SPROULE."
When President Hamilton received the above dis
patch he called the other members OF the board OF oil
rectors of Imperial Irrigation District and it at
decided to lead the campaign for appropriation from
congress put the Colorado river back into its old chan
mel and hold it there
To this end special meeting of the board of direc
tors has been called for II o'clock next Monday with in
vtatons sent to the advisory board OF the mutual COM
panes directors of the Imperial Valley Chamber of Com
merce newspaper men OF the valley and to the general
public.
At that melting it is proposed to select delegation
to go Washington to represent the district and it is
probable he supervisors will be asked to send member
of that body to represent the county, and the Chamber Of
Commerce be asked to send representative of the COM
mercal interests.
Aside from the valley delegation, the offer of Los
Angeles send workers will be accepted and other COM
ercal bodies of the state will be called to cooperate
One of the moves that will be made will be to call on
husineSS hOuSeS of Southern California take
with anv and senators other states they
are personally acquainted with the need for this control
The fact is recognized that there is hard fight
ahead but the campaign will be conducted with vigor
and it is believed there is good fighting chance of win
ming success.
The matter will probably be introduced emer:
gency affair." and will be put through independently OF
other matters.

Commission Asserts
Jurisdiction Over G.. D.

for irrigation purposes. F. w. Weeks,
president of the board of trustees
of the town of Holtville, in the I'M
rerial valley, sued the company and
Holabird, as its receiver, to the same
effect.
The company maintains that, as a
holding company, it cannot be COM
relled by the state to furnish water
to anybody; that it is not a public
utility, and therefore not under the
jurisdiction of the commission.
The development company sells its
water to a number of mutual water
companies, which in turn distribute
it to their shareholders.

Austrian scouts had penetrated Bel
grade and been driven back.
Several public buildings were fired
by exploding shells, but the flames
were extinguished. The ancient Bel
grade fortress was reduced to ru-
ms.
The latest reports indicate there
were few casualties among the troops,
but number of non-combatants were
wounded.
Many Austrian soldiers were killed

FORMER RESIDENT

Mr.. Frank H. MCGEE, a former resi-
dent of Americas and esteemed among
a large number of friends here, died
at Waycross as the result of burns
sustained in having fallen against a
heater at his home there. The acct
dent occurred two days ago, Mr.. Nc
Gee having since suffered greatly I'M
til the end came this morning. The de-
ceased was for several years superin-
tendent of motive power for the Sa-
vannah, Americas and Montgomery
railway during the time the headquar-
ters of that system were maintained
in Americas. OF genial department,
Mr.. MCGEE made friends everywhere
and his death will be generally de-
