Bay State Senator Issues
Statement Defending
Committee Plan.

The Republican National Committee
men appear to have played the very
mischief with the Progressive element
in the Republican party by adopting
Chairman Hays idea Of appointing a
committee to draft a platform and
have it ready for the convention when
it assemblies next June.
The Progressives don't like the idea
one bit Their opposition to it came
to the surface today in the talk of
Progressive Republican Senators In
the cloakrooms. Many Of the Senators
talked frankly about the plan and did
not mince words in expressing their
disapproval of II.
Senators Borah. Idaho: Moses, New
Hampshire, and Mccormick, Illinois,
were particularly vehement in assert
ing the plan would not work." and
that the convention would have moth
ing to do with it. Senator Moses de-
clared that the convention doesn't
want a handmade platform" and
expressed very grave doubts that a
platform drafted months in advance
by Chairman Hays personally select
ed committee would be acceptable to
the rank and file of the party or to
the convention.
Borah Predicts Rejection.
Senator Borah was equally en-
phatic in asserting that the conven-
ton would be quick to reject such a
platform. The convention will insist,
he said. upon having a hand in draw
nS up the declaration OF principles
Ipon which the party will make its
fight Any other sort of platform, the
Senator said, would represent moth
ing more than the ideas of a handful
Of men, rather than the spontaneous
suggestions of the mass of delegates.
In oposition to all these criticisms,
Senator Lodge. who has been chair
man CT one or two conventions and
chairman OF the r%Solutions commit
tee in at least two. issued a state
ment defending the plan and stating
hat it would be very helpful. A bet
ter platform would be the result, in
Senator Lodges opinion. because the
committee would have time to hear
from everybody in the country who
had an idea to submit for the plat
form. and to weed out all improper
or impracticable suggestions.
The ire OF the Progressives was pri-
Hlarily aroused by observing upon the
committee list the names of some of
the best known men in the Old Guard

Public Utilities Commission Ask
Portland District Traffic
Committee to Oppose Rate
Schedule.
DISCRIMINATION SHOWN
Rates Cited Showing How Idaho
Growers Would Be Forced
From Market; Seek to Have
Old Rate Maintained.

Just to what extent Idaho potato
growers would be Disseminated
against in comparison to the pota
to growers of other section of the
western country, Is shown by Leon
ard Way, rate expert of the public
utilities commission, in an extensive
report submitted to F. w. Robinson
chairman of the Portland district traf-
fic committee.
The proposed advance in rates OF
100 pounds to Texas points, showed
that from Colorado points the In
crease was from 67ls to 1919 cents
while from Idaho Falls the rate In
crease was from so to 911b cents
while from Colorado points on change
was contemplated, the old rate of To-
cents standing.
REGISTER PROTEST
The rate schedules show that the
rate on potatoes from Idaho Falls is
10 cents higher per hundred than the
rate from Greeley, that from Caldwell
it Is Is cents higher and from Horse
shoe Bend, IS cents higher. A COM
parison of these rates with those paid
by the growers of Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, North Idaho, Oregon, Washington
and California to the same points in
Texas, is given in detail to show that
the proposed rates will be such as to
practically throw the Idaho tubers off
the market in the Lone Star state.
The commission, in behalf of the
state of Idaho, its growers and ship
pers of potatoes, vehemently protests
against the proposed changes as be-
ing unfair, preferential TO other pro-
ducing and shipping points and dis
eliminating against Idaho.
Mr.. Way points out that the geo
graphical location of Idaho as COM
pared with Minnesota Wisconsin and
Colorado, makes it impossible for
Idaho to market her surplus pota-
toes in competition with those states
with the rates proposed. He shows that
1t is obvious that Idaho cannot reach
the Missouri river at 6115 cent rate
as against the rate from Colorado of
4313 cents and rate of 20 cents from
Minnesota and Wisconsin. The re-
port further cites that the big open
market for Minnesota and Wisconsin
lies east of Chicago and that the old
rate in cents per ton mile compares
very laNorably with the rates from
other producing sections.
WOULD KILL INDUSTRY
In Short" the report SAYS, at Is
the purpose of the Dallas docket to
Kill the potato industry of Idaho in the
shortest possible time, divert the bus,-
ness to Minnesota, Wisconsin and Col
orado, in order that the southwestern
Zines may get the long haul and not
divide the revenue with anyone"
Further. it sets out that the Dallas
docket deliberately proposes to break
up the Fort Worth Dallas group adj
Justment and blanket the whole state
Of Texas.
While 1T is stated the allegations
set out do not constitute all the OBJ
1ections of the Idaho growers to the
rates proposed it sets out the most
fragrant violations of the act to reg
ulate commerce and violations of the
interstate commissions orders.
