is going to have something to do.
The members of the Democratic Ma

The Kansas people III Washington are
greatly interested in the outcome of the
various cases now pending in the Kan
sas Courts to settle the question of the
width of the right-of-way to which the
Leavenworth, Pawnee and Western Rail-
road is entitled. Under the original
grants the road and it's assigns were
given 400 foot right-of-way over the
public domain but in the Indian treaties
it was limited to 100 feet. The farmers
have had possession of their strip of
land in excess of 100 feet for many
years and now the Union Pacific Rail-
road is requiring the land holders to
enter into a lease or be sued. Many
have made the leases and more have
refused and suits are being brought
against some and more are to be COM
menced against others One question
involved will be the date of the allot-
ments to the Indians. The attorneys for
the land owners through the efforts of
Senator Curtis have been furnished with
the dates of the selections made by the
Indians and the dates of the filing of
the plats by the Railroad Company. The
outcome of the case will be watched with
great interest and as the land owners

The WAR Tax was extended for an
other year by virtually party vote. In
the House five Democratic Members
voted with the Republicans against the
extension of the tax. In the Senate the
Democrats voted for it while the Re
publicans voted against it. In a speech
on December 18th Senator Curtis of
Kansas pointed out that while the ma
jority were asking for one hundred mil
lion more in revenue now and would
ask for virtually one hundred million
more later on, that their report showed
the loss in revenue from customs and
other sources had only been twenty-one
million dollars and that the Admins
tration had asked for 1918, 734, 449.O0
more than had been appropriated in the
year 1912. This he pointed out was

JOINT RESOLUTION.
Resolved by the Senate and House OF
Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, Tha,
the maintenance of the rights of neu
trails is chief concern of the Govern
ment of the United States of America.
and that our duty to maintain those
rights, upon sea and land, is emphasized
by treaties to which this Nation is
signatory and by the principles of inter
national law to which American diplo
macy has hitherto adhered with con
slant sincerity.
Resolved further, That as a means To
this end Congress believes it to be the
duty of this Government not only to
proclaim but to maintain an attitude of
even-handed neutrality as between bel
ligerent powers of all nationalities.
without fear or favor and with no tinge
of sentiment or prejudice, and that any
violation of neutral rights in derogation
of the said treaties and principles of in
ternational law should meet with the
prompt and vigorous protest of those
officers of this Government who are
charged with the conduct of our foreign
relations, and said officers should per
form every duty incumbent on a neu-
trail nation.

pointments. The Democrats desired a

a good Committee assignment for SEN
put on the great Committee on Appro-
priations These men are both young
and are hard workers and their selec-
ton is generally approved. The various
tasks which have been set before Con-
gress are not small and the committees
will see some hard work before they get
through. There is the question of pre-
paredness which means larger Army
and Navy and upon which all do not
agree to size. Then the President
would retain the War Tax" and the
tax on sugar. He recommends increas-
ing the scope of the income tax so that
married men would pay on an income
of $4,000 and unmarried men on an in
come of $4,000. This is coming near
to placing a direct tax the income
of the masses. The question of how to
establish a Merchant Marine is to be
settled. The Rural Credit bill is gen.
orally endorsed but there is a question
about the details. The Philippine bill
is bound to cause much discussion and
trouble. The President recommends a
new committee to inquire into the trans
portation problems, some think there are
too many commissions now and recon-
mend that the Interstate Commerce
Commission be authorized to do what is
to be done. The Conservation of natural
resources will be fought out as there is
a division of opinion between the Mem
bers of Congress who represent the

CREAM EXPRESS
RATES ARE CUT
Commission Also DfscOntlnues
Charges Assessed for Transfer Of
Milk Can from Car 10 Car.

SALEM, Ore. Dec. 19.-ReductioI
Of the rate OF hauling a 10-gallon can
OF cream from 25 cents to Is cents
for a 15-mile haul, from SO to %
cents for a 50-mile haul, from 81 to
2s cents for rs mile haul, and from
40 cents to 32 cents for a 100-mile
haul and other shipments in proper
tion, was made yesterday by the pub
lie service commission Of oregon as
result Of the investigation Of the
rates charged by the American Ex-
press company for the shipment OF
milk, cream and dairy products from
point to point in eastern oregon and
fromponts in eastern oregon to port
land.
The charges assessed by the Amer
lean Express company for transfer OF
milk cans from one car to another
has been discontinued by the commis-
sion, as such charges were not found
in the tariffs OF other companies un-
der the jurisdiction Of the commits
sion. No justification for the trans
fer charge was found by the commits
sion and It was deemed unreason-
able. This ruling eliminates the
transfer charge of cents on a To-
gallon can of cream or milk.
New Tariff Necessary.
February /, 1917, is the date when
the ruling Of the commission be-
cohes effective. before which time
theN American Express company must

rates it proposes to establish. The
hearing was held at La Grande on
November 10, representatives Of the
express company and the various

heard.
Because of the far-reaching effect
the order might have on the dairy
industry of eastern oregon said

missioners gave careful attention to
evidence Of every kind in connection
with the case, as well as the factors
considered in rate making, such as
the value and character of the COM

return for the service rendered, pres.
ent rates as compared with those Of
