Mandate Debate
Time Restricted

Washington, May S1.-Under the
agreement proposed by republican
leaders, the senate will meet two
hours earlier than the usual time to-
morrow and no senator will be per-
mitted to speak longer than As min
utes on the Armenia mandate ques-
tion.
Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri,
opened debate on the resolution to-
day with an attack on the mandate
which he said was the first
practical application of the principle
OF the league of nations.
The assumption that mandate
would require use Of military power
was denied by Senator Walsh, demo-
crat, Montana. He suggested that a
might properly be accepted
on condition that the mandatory pow
er would not be required to use its
forces.

Corey AdviSeS More
Interest In Fight
against Rate Shift

The intermountain states should
take a firm stand in opposition TO the
duplication for increased railroad rates
until the exceedingly low rates states
in other sections Of the country. more
particularly the east and south. are
equalized upward to somewhere near
our standard of rates, according to
H. H. Corey, public service commits
sioner from the eastern oregon dis
trict.
In letter to ]. F. Shaughnessy,
Washington, d. c., president of the
Intermountain Rate association, Corey
declares that he cannot resist speak
ing in behalf of my constituency who
have long been endeavoring to secure
relief from what to us seems to be un-
duly high rates in comparison with
other sections or groups of states"
As we are now on a parity with
coast points regards railroad rates we
desire that this parity be maintained
in the future" Corey states. Some
states are now urging that they again
be permitted to meet boat rates at
ceas points which will disarrange the
present schedule. Railroads have for
years been handling this through
freight at what they term out of
pocket cost
"Out of pocket cost" Corey ex-
plains, means merely the cost of the
train crew and motive power ano
leaves nothing for overhead, interest,
depreciation of road bed or rolling
stock and nothing for repairs. Rail-
roads claim they can not afford to lose
his business; that they must continue
o carry it at an ut of pocket cost or
iuffer great financial loss.
Records now in pession Of the in
erstate commerce commission show
hat on lines west of the Missouri riv-
r the total water terminal freight
mount to only one-half of one per
ent Of the railroads gross freight bust
ess and the railroads contention that
hey must be permitted to handle this
of one per cent at cost or
uffer financial embarrassment is not
'ell founded"

Reason for Gas =
Is Not
Known In Salem.

The real reason for the shortage
OF gasoline in Salem, and through
out the willamette valley generally,
seemed lacking in opinion of oil men
and others here Monday. Numerous
opinions have been advanced for the
cause Of the shortage, with no one ap-
parently knowing the real cause Of
the shortage.
The opinion advanced more than
any other here by oil men is that the
oil companies have taken too large
foreign contracts, and that in striv-
ing to fill them they are unable TO
take care of the domestic consump-
tion.
II was reported here Monday by
motorists passing through that city
that Sunday there was absolutely no
gasoline to be had in Eugene. other
small towns sout hof Eugene and be-
tween Salem and Eugene report SER

here said Monday that /
they had just received another car
load of gasoline of 10000 gallons.
This, they said, would be sold pursu-
ant to the ration plan. preference be-
ing given to commercial cars. Pleas
ure drivers will be given as little gas

shortage is .seen. The Standard Oil
