Railroads Are Cutting Their
Own Threats,

On June 2 The Spokesman-Review
%editorially said:
Suppose the commission allowed
the roads to cut rates 20 per cent
to the terminals. Who imagines
that the ships would throw up the
fight and withdraw from the con-
test? Quite to the contrary, they
have already met the roads threat
to cut rates 20 per cent by them
selves cutting their rates 10 per
cent. That is merely an earnest of
what they could if they we're driven
to it. .
Notification of that prediction
comes more quickly that The Spokes-
man-Review had thought it would
come. An Associated Press dispatch
from San Francisco brings the news
that j. w. Chapman, Pacific coast
manager of the Williams line of
steamships, has announced freight
rate reductions ranging from 20 tc
IS per cent on shipments from manu-.
featuring centers in Connecticut anC
New Jersey to San Francisco. Mr.
Chapman declares that the reductions
will apply to every commodity in the
tariff.
That is what the railroads have
shaken down on themsels by theil
mere announcement of a purpose tc
ask the interstate commerce commits
sion for permission to lower their ter
mlnal rates 20 per cent. Where will
they find themselves when the rate
cutting contest becomes lively?
When will their traffic managers
have the foresight to follow the ad-
vice rendered them 10 years ago by
the interstate commerce commission
in the Spokane rate case decision {?
build up interior cities like Spokane
as distributing centers and quit cut
ting their own throats by inviting sea
competition at the terminals? If they
had needed that counsel when it was
given they would not now find them
selves, as the commission warned
them, "the prey of every vessel which
sails the ea."-Spokesman-Review

The American Legion's bonus legis-
lation for service men of Oregon was
sustained by a three to one vote in a
recent referendum. 1t provides for
the payment of SIS for each month of
service.
American Legion posts throughout
the United States will read the last
public speach of Col F. w. Galbraith
at their Fourth of July celebrations.
The speech, a plea for the Citizens
Mllltay Training Camp, was delivered
by the late national commander a few
hours before he met death in an auto
mobile accident at INDIANAPOLIS. 81
come to you," declared Mr.. Galbraith.
"as one of those thousands of Ameri-
cans who went into the world war
without the benefit of a training
camp. We believe in preparing the
young men OF this country for citizen
ship. A part of this citizenship con-
sists of being ready to defend our
country in the time Of need" Copies
OF the speech are being forwarded to
the post from the national headquart-
ers OF the Legion at Indianapolis.
SiIiSIe IdS Deel started DIV a
number of posts of the American Le-
gion to have the body of the unknown
American soldier, to be brought back
from France, buried under the dome
of the National capitol instead of in
Arlington National Cemetery. The
George Washington post has appoint
ed a committee to formulate and have
introduced in Congress a resolution
changing the place of burial.
Five hundred and fifty-six trees
were planted along the new victory
memorial drive at Minneapolis, Mimi,
by American Legion posts of that
city. One of the trees is dedicated to
the memory Of F. w. Galbraith Jr..
late commander of the American Lee
gion, whose accidental death prevent
ed him from attending the tree-plant-
ing ceremonies. The other trees are
for the 555 gold star heroes of Henne-
pin County.

OIL RESTRICTION ABANDONED

For a number of years the theory
of creating naval oil reserves and
having the federal government own
and operate oil wells and refiners
was pursued at great expense.
Millions of acres of oil land were
tied up and development of new oil
fields was prevented, and those activl-
ties contributed to the profits of the
big oil companies in restricting pro-
duction.
This policy has now been abandon
ed and the Department of the Inter
Tor has dismissed all proceedings to
acquire oil lands in the state of Cali
fornia for naval reserves in the Elk
Hills district.
Of course, this ruling will govern
in other states where naval reserves
were sought to be established. In
most cases the oil companies had
bought the land from individuals and
had proceeded to develop.
Secretary Fall in rendering his de-
cision held that title vested in the
state to the land as non-mineral under
former surveys could not be over
thrown. Millions will be invested in
new oil production.

RACE FOR ENTRY
Europeans Hurry to Get Into
the United States.
Want to Land Here Before EN-
barge Act Effective.

New York, May 12.-The United
States faced a tidal wave of Europeans
seeking to enter this country before
the new restrictive immigration laws
become effective.
Commissioner Frederick A. Wallis,
who made this statement in an inter
view today, added that cit probably
will be" in effect a race between con-
gress and the immigrants.
Reports from Europe indicate that
people who had planned to migrate to
America at anytime within the next
year are now frantically abandoning
everything and besieging the !1-meri-
can representatives there to wise their
passports at once" Wallis said.
This seems to be particularly true
of southeastern Europe, where our Of
ficials already are Stamped by appI-
cations. If we are to handle the ex-
pected rush on that side, we must
greatly increase our examining forces
1.-THE greatest number of immigrants
ever admitted to this country in one
year was 1,21S,4S0 in 1914. Under
wartime conditions they dropped to
about 100, 600 then rose to 100000 last
year.

100 persons Tuesday evening at the~ende-
nominational Chapel, Market and Kellogg
streets. Among those in the audience was
Prof. J. c. Loevnguth, head Of the Science
Department of Wichita high school, who
vouches for the authenticity of the report
of her recovery.
So complete is Mrs. Sewers recovery that
she was able to walk home from the church
after service without aid, to hear the con-
CALCULATIONS bestowed upon her by the
congregation, and to hear her own voice
in giving thanks to her Deliyerer for her
restoration to full health, witnesses say.
With her husband, Mrs. Sievers has been
attending the services daily since they were
begun a week ago by the Rev. p. c. Mel
SON evangelist Of Detroit. She has been
unable to walk without aid since she suf-
fered a paralytic stroke in the lower part
of the legs last autumn. The stroke is be
lieved to have resulted from an injury to
her feet when she fell.
The ceremony of administering Divine
Grace was performed by the Rev. Mr.. Nell
son by amounting her head with oil, and
then followed the laying on of hands. The
ceremony is carried/o IN accordance with
instructions in the Book of st. James.
4 When services ended, Mrs. Sieyers left
marking that she would have no further
use for it," She then walked home I'M
aided, accompanied by Mr.. Sievers.
That her recovery is nothing short of
miraculous is indicated by the suddenness
with which it came, according to Professor
Loevnguth, who is interested in the meet
