The railroad rate case now being heard in Portland
is an attempt of the business interests OF that city to
prove that Seattle has right to pursue the same hog
sh policy Portland always has For instance, 1t took
pokane WASH years to get justice because Portland
insisted that all freight shipped to the eastern Washing
ton metropolis from Eastern points, though unloaded at
Spokane must pay freight through to Portland and then

method she has used to attain this end has been the simple
one Of manipulating freight rates so that they would dis

EMBARGO ACT.

The first "embarge act of the United States was passed 125 yeas ago today, March 25, 17s4, in retaIia- ton against British Interference with American commerce. During the European wars of that and sabee- quent periods there was much inter ference with American vessels, and the United States government sought
 by prohibiting exportation to the war ring countries, to impress upon them the importance of the republic. The first embargo lasted only 50 days, and had little effect. In 1907 another eTn barge act was passed, directed against both England and France, which were then at waE. It was hoped that the shutting off of sszPertations would force the European govern melHs te recede from their position, but the effect was ruiReus upon American commerce. The embargo act of 1907 was supported by the az ricuituraI population, but the New England states strongly opposed it. Threats of secession were made in the Notaeastern states, and ia 1899 Congress terminated the embargo.

 FOUNDATION PAID
 OUT S17,O42,14O

George E. Vincent, President of the Rockefeller Foundation, authorizes the following:
 During the years 1917 and 1918 the expenditures of the Rockefeller Foun- dation for war work amounted to ST. .O42,I4O. This was more than half of all the expenditures of the FOuu dation in these years. The total eX- penditures for the period in carrying on the chartered purpose of the F7Oun- 6.ation ''to promote the weH-being of mankind throughout the world" was S26, ,509, ,71N.
 The expenditures for war work were apportioned to camp and community welfare, medical research and relief and humanitarian aid. The amount spent for these purposes in 1917 was almost doubled in 1918. Camp and community welfare work received s. 816. .O68 for the two years. The United Wark Work Campaign received B.
 514.700 of this amount The F'ounda- ton increased it's expenditures for camp and comn1uninty welfare froFl S1.614 351 in 1917 to S6, POI. .735 in 1918. The amount spent for medical re- search and relief in connection with the war activities of the Foundation was s579, ,192. of which the War Dem onstration Hospital and Medical Re-

WOULD HONOR WAR HEROES ON
 ARBOR DAY

Washington, D. C., March B. - Such an observance of Arbor Day as will secure a widespread planting of trees dedicated to those whose lives have been sacrificed in the great struggle to preserve American rights and the civilization of the world" Is advocated by the Secretary of Agri- culture, David F. Houston, in letter just sent to the governors of the States.
 The Secretary's letter follows:
 The observance of Arbor Day be- gan soon after Civil War. A distin- guished citizen of Nebraska who later became Secretary of Agriculture, was the prime mover in securing it's rec ognttion within his State, where it first tok root; and the Board of Az riCuIture of that State, on his motion, designated the first Arbor Day. From the beginning 1t has had a civic mo tive and an asso citation of patriotism.
 Another and greater war has come to it's inevitable conclusion. The cause of righteousness, of liberty, of all that Americans hold dear has prevailed. We shall seek many ways to perpet- uate the memory of those who made the great sacrifice. The memorials will take many forms. The names
 
 petuated by costly monuments and inscribed on enduring tablets. Great works that serve the needs of peace also will doubtless be dedicated to them.
 But along with these memorials. we can easily discover ways in which
 we may simply and spontaneously p- tribute to them. We can keep fresh our memory of what they gave. and we can perpetuate their names in ia miliar places. It has been happily suggested that we may do this by adorning with young trees, each named for a fallen soldier, our way sides, our yards and our pleasure places. And in most of our States Arbor Day Is at hand. This year we may give to that day a meaning more profound, a purpose more exalted, yet also an association more personal. q conceive that, if the origin of the day be borne in mind, the invi- tatiOn to our fellow citizens to join i in making it a day especially set apart and cOnsecrated for tree planting may 1 appropriately come from this depart ment I take the liberty, therefore, | of suggesting that you commend to i the citizens of your State, and par 1 ticularly to those in attendance upon l it's sch ools, such an observance of Ar 1 bor Day as will secure a widespread planting of trees, dedicated to those l whose lives have been sacrificed in l the great struggle to preserve Amer 1 ican rights and the civilization of the world"
