Poetry Means Toll.

WILSON VETOES
CUNN|NS' BILL
ON RAIL RATES

Washington, Nov 1S.--President
Wilson today vetoed the Cummins rate
bill, which would have restored the in
terstate commerce commission to it's
pre-war power over railroad rates
Tha veto will be forwarded to CON
gress today.
Under government railroad control
the president has had the power to
make rates and did make several re :
visions upward The Cummns bill
would have forced the president.
through the railroad administration, to
so before the interstate commerce com
mission just as the railroads them
selves had to do before federal con-
troll. ~
The Cummins bill would have forced
those in charge of the railroads under
federal control to seek approval OF
the various state railroad commissions
in matters affecting intra-state traffic.
During the war the president had
the same power over interstate and in
ira state rates.
The provision Of the bill returning
the power of rate review to state COM
missions was the cause of the presi=
dents veto. He said he had no objec-
jtion to the feature of the bill which
restored pre-war powers to the inter
state commerce commission.
The veto message also spoke of the
short time of federal control remain
ing, indicating that the president has
not changed his mind about turning
back the roads January /.

NPRON|SE
Upon TREATY
DEADLOCKED

Washington, Nov. IS. - Senator
Hitchcock, administration leader in the
treaty struggle, is not yet ready to ac-
cept compromise on reservations, he
said today following conference with
Senator Lodge, leader of the position
An ultimatum went to Hitchcock
from the republican side calling on
him to submit his proposal for COM
promise by tonight, but he replied to
Lodge that he cannot comply within
the time limit.
Hitchcock further announced that
no compromise can be formally con-
sidered in the senate until the Lodge
resolution of ratification has been de-
feated.
Hitchcock said he had letter from
President Wilson which is unopened.
He said that there was no necessity for
knowing its contents until the demc-
cratic senators hold their conference
on compromises, probably tomorrow.
1t was understood, however, the presi-
dents letter outlined the White
Houses maximum concession.
The senate adopted the McCumber
reservation by which the United
States would refrain from agreement
under labor causes in the treaty ex-
cept by direction of congress. The
lvote was 81 to 35. This is the four
teenth reservation adopted in the SEN
ate. Mild reservationists supported the
reservation according to the program
previously agreed upon.

purposes, and protested at Salem mer-
chants advertising in German news

Millar McGilchrist, speaking on be-
half of the American Legion, said
that it would be the legion's purpose
to ferret out any radicals and quiet
disturbing elements in Salem. Com
posed as it is of young men, Mr.. Nc
Gilchrist said, and having the ad-
vantage of numbers and youthful vi
tality, it is ready to attack bolshevism
at any time.
Cooperation Needed
He emphasized the fact that the CO.
operation of G. A. r., Spanish War
Veterans and American Legion would
be necessary to achieve the desired
results. Cooperation of the labor un-
ions was also asked, and the request
made that the names Of any radicals
in the unions be given to the COM
mittee of the American Legion in
charge of such cases.
Resolutions were passed pledging
state and national authorities the sup
port of the three orders in ferreting
out all persons found guilty of disloy-
atty, and denouncing the custom OF
merely deporting such criminals from
certain localities and leaving then,
free to scatter sedition elsewhere.
The meeting went on record as fav-
oring the deportation of all undesir-
able aliens, and the revocation of the
citizenship papers of those who have
broken their oath of allegience.
