THE LONG AND
 SHORT HAUL BILL

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Congressman Carl Hayden of Arizona, has intro duced bill providing for the amend ment of the fourth section of the Act to Regulate Commerce so as to make the long and short haul clause abso- lute. The law now provides that there shall be no higher charge for a shorter than for a longer haul on the same line in the same direction, the shorter being included within the longer; but, it allows the Interstate Commerce Commission to grant ex- emptions from this rule in special cases after investigation. These ex- emptions have been so sweeping and general in their character that they have Tn effect become the rule, while the main provision of the law amounts to very little more than an exception Mir Hayden thinks That no power should exist anywhere to make ex- emptions from a transportation rule which is manifestly just and fair upon it's face.
 Speaking of his bill, Congressman Hayden referred to the fact that the Interstate Commerce Commission has recently handed down decision which makes the long and short haul clause generally iron-clad throughout Arizona and the intermountain re- zion. This order, however, is sub ject to revision and change at any time and it has been suggested by the Interstate Commerce Commission that it may be changed with the re- i sumption of water competition through the Panama Canal. Mir. Hayden believes this to be bad na- tional policy because its necessary effect is to reduce the value Of the Panama Canal for commercial pur- poses, the very object for v,iich it was constructed with tue peoples | money.
 The Arizona Congressman is of tue opinion that the fact of the Govern ment having assumed control of the railroads for war purposes should n:ah. 10 difference with regard to .he enactment of his bill into law If it is wrong to charge more for the shorter iaul than the longer, 1t can niske llo possible difference where the control of the roads may lie. It werld be just as wrong for .he Gov ernment to pursue such course as for private corporation to do t.
 There is no conflict between this bill and anything which the gvoern. men; may have in view in operating the railroads. MT. Hayden feels thai when the opportunity is presented, he l will be able to make a very strong showing in support of his bill. The Arizona State Corporation Commits sion has made speciality of the question involved, having pressed il vigorously before the Interstate Com merce Commission, and is largely re. sponsible for the recent favorable de cision in the intermountain rate cases.

BRITISH SUBJECTS
 URGED ID ENLIST
HAVE SIXTY DAYS TO DECIDE WHETHER TO FIGHT WITH HOME TROOPS OR UNITED STATES ARMY.

San Francisco, March 1.-This is the appeal of Major c. s. Ranches ter, Officer Commanding the Pacific Coast Division, British and Canadian Recruiting Mission, to his country men: s
 When interviewed in his office at 268 Market Street, San Francisco, Major Manchester said, While it gives me great pleasure to note that finally bona fide signed sealed and delivered agreement now exists be- tween the United States and Great Britain, which places every British and Canadian subject in this country in position where he cannot possi- bly, escape liability to serve in the war, still hope even at this date such subjects will want to show their loyalty and manhood by coming for ward before they are actually compell- ed to do so through conscription. With the draft law now in effect, he becomes much more liable to service than the American, as the age limit in his case is from 20 to 45 years.
 Under this agreement, signed re- gently, every British and Canadian subject between the age limits of 20 and 45 years is bound to fight either under the flag of his birth or the flag of his adoption, and he is allowed 60 days grace in which to decide. If he elects to fight under the Union Jack, I hope he will come forward voluntarily and offer his services rather than wait until the iron hand of Justice reaches out and forces him to do his duty for his flag, his country, his home and his honor.''

WASHINGTON. Oct 4.-Bernard NJ
Baruch, chairman OF the war industries
board yesterday told representatives OF

tion regulation of retail prices will be
the governments next step, unless the

called here TO organize a war-service
committee, were informed OF the dill
culties faced by the government in the
matter OF distribution and price control
and urged to do their utmost 10 remedy
the glaring inequalities in the price
system.
This war program has become so huge,
Mr.. Baruch said, theer Is a question Of
IL being carried out and at the same
time, carrying out civilian needs. The
only solution, he said, is to support the
army first and give the civilian what
is left.
ut is in connection with the supply
ing OF civilian needs" Mr.. Baruch told
the merchants, that we need your sup
port and advice. IL is a problem that,
as I said before, you can solve for MS.
It Is not the sole problem Of the war In
dustries board; II is equally your prob
lem, and that is TO so distribute what
Is left after the war needs are met that
the civilian population will feel that
they have had a square deal. That in
wolves, OF course, thequestion OF prices,
but above all II means equitable distri-
button Of whatever is left.

MINERS
FIND POTASH

During the past week samples
have been brought in from Rail-
road valley which upon being tested
have shown good results in salts of
potash, notably saltpeter and syl-
vite, the nitrate and the chloride of
potassium. The samples we're de-
rived from claims recently located
by the Millick brothers and F. B.
Matson of Ely, who believe that they
have discovered the source of the
potash beds of Railroad valley upon
which a large amount of money was
spent some years ago in the effort
to develop potash in commercial
quantities.
Other claims have been located
by Ely and Nye county people and
if good reports are received from
the samples which have been sent to
Washington, quite a scramble for
mining ground may result.
Surface indications point to the
existence of an enormous deposit. al
though of course it will require
time and labor to determine the
commercial possibilities of the new
discovery, but in view of the pres
ent urgent demand for potash, its
pc ssibilities are worry interesting.
The new find is located about 95
miles from Ely. winch is the near
est railroad point Ely Record
