LONG AND SHORT HAUL BILL

SoilHtCooildu SdIl A1dyuCu, VI
Arizona, has introduced a bill
providing for the amendment OF
the fourth section of the Act to
Regulate Commerce so as to
make the long and short haul
clause absolute. The law now
provides that there shall be no
higher charge for 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 In
terstate Commerce Commission
to grant exemptions from this
rule in special cases after in
vestigation. These exemptions
have been so sweeping and gen.
eral in their character that they
have in effect become the rule,
while the main provision of the
law amontus to very little more
than an exception. Mr.. Hayden
thinks that no power should ex-
ist anywhere to make exemptions
from a transportation rule which
is manifestly just and fair upon
it's face.
Speaking of his bill, Congress.
man Hayden referred to the fact
that the Interstate Commerce
Commission has recently handed
down a decision which makes the
long and short haul clause gen.
orally iron.clad throughout Ari-
zona and the intermountain re-
gion. This order, however, is
subject to revision and change at
any time and it has been sug-
gested by the Interstate Com
merce Commission that it may
be changed with the resumption
of water competition through the
Panama Canal. Mr.. Hayden be-
lieves this to be bad national
policy because its necessary eff
feet is to reduce the value of the
Panama Canal for commercial
purposes. the very object for
which it was constructed with
the peoples money.
The Arizona congressman is Of
the opinion that the fact of the
government having assumed con-
troll of the railroads for war pur-
poses should make no. difference
with regard to the enactment of
his bill into law. If it is wrong
to charge more for the shorter
haul than the longer, it can make
no possible difference where the
control of the roads may lie. 1t
would be just as wrong for the
government to pursue such a
course as for private corpora
ton to do it. There is no con-
flict between this bill and any
thing which the government may
have in view in operating the
railroads. Mr.. Hayden feels
that when the opportunity is
presented, he will be able to
make a very strong showing in
support of his bill. The Arizona
State Corporation Commission
has made speciality of the ques.
tion involved, having pressed it
vigorously before the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and Is
largely responsible for the recent
favorable decision in the inter-
mountain rate cases,

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

In January, l776, George Wash
ington told a Continental Con.
gress committee: Unless ample
provisions are laid up in the
course of this winter and the ap-
preaching spring, nothing favo, +.
able is to be looked for from the
the operations of the next cam
paign; but our arms, enfeebled
by the embarrassment of irregu-
lar and fuctuating supplies of
provisions, will reap no other
fruits than disgrace and disap-
pointment." Just now, that is
the job Herbert Hoover has be-
fore him.

STATE Department Denies THAT GERMANY
HAS SIGNED ARuISTICE ENDING The WAR
BUT UNITED PRESS STANDS BY ITS REPORT
SEVERAL PLACES
SUGGESTED FOR
PEACE MEETING

PARIS, Nov. diplomats here are
interested in the choice of location for
the peace negotiations. Some of them
think the Carnegie peace palace at The
Hague should be chosen for sentimental
reasons. They point out that The Hague
is convenient for the British, Belgians
and Germans and can be easily reached
by land from Paris. Other statesmen
prefer a place in French or Italian
Switzerland, such as Lausanne, Geneva,
or Lucerne. They are easy of access
from France, Italy, Austria and Ger
many. Still others propose Brussels, as
being gratifying to the Belgians, who
have suffered so greatly. The Temps
thinks that Rheims would be suitabls,
were 1t not too much to ask elderly
ministers to camp in Y. NJ. c. A. huts.
1t suggests Versailles as. above all,
best associated with history of France,
the place where was signed the treaty
that ended the war of the American
Revolution and which was really the
cradle of the German empire.
No matter where the conference is
held, the American signal corps will,
according to present plans, string wires
to good cable points so that Washington
may be in easy and rapid communica-
ton with the meeting.
