Special Despatch to THE NEW YorK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau, !
Washington, ID. c., AprfI 23.


New York Herald Burcau,l
Washington. ID. c.. April 90.
There will be a split in the Repub-
lican majority of the Senate on the
bill TO grant free tolls to American
ships using the Panama Canal. The
fight is likely to begin next week.
Senator Borah (Idaho). Chairman OF
the Committee on Interoceanic Canals
will bring the bill before his committee
in a few days.
Although the Republican platform
declares in favor of free tolls it is
now apparent that group of Repub-
Jican Senators who are on record
against the proposal will maintain
their ground.
Nevertheless Senator Borah, author OF
the free tells bill. hopes to get it through
the Senate He believes his committee
will report it favorably after considera-
ton. Senator Borah said he believed
stood because of previous hearings that
new hearings would not be necessary.
He did not speak for the committee on
this nont.
When President Wilson asked repeal
of free tolls early In his first Administra-
ton he sent a message to Congress inti-
mating there was some mysterious but
compelling diplomatic reason why the
repeal should be voted. 9'nls reason
never has been disclosed and many Re-
publicans and some Democrats believe
Mr.. Wilson overstated the matter In
order TO help the passage of the repeal
bill.
When he forced the repeal bill through
Congress Mr.. Wilson went contrary to
the Democratic platform on which he
was elected.
Although President Harding referred
to the free tolls plank In the Republican
platform during his campaign he did not
press for passage of the bill in his mes
sage at the opening of Congress How
vigorously he will push the matter Is
still matter of doubt
The Democrats welcome the idea of
another division in the Republican ranks
such as occurred on the Colombian treaty
and are preparing TO make the most of Il
by giving laid and comfort" to the Re-
publican opponents of free tolls

Knee skirts and the toddle dance
We're pronounced healthy and calcu-

decided that hereafter college dances
in the State will be unchaperoned, and
that self-reliance will be preached

who come to learn.

Farms of Gallatin, have just purchas-
ed car load of fine registered Maui
ry county Jerseys, paying $3.50 for
the eleven cows, springers and calves
included in the shipment This is re-
garded as splendid price for the lot.
To representative of The Herald
Mr.. Ballanfant stated that Miller and
Shamberger, proprietors of the Royal
Oaks Farms, are planning to go into
the dairy and Jersey breeding indus

buy at least five cars of Jerseys, and

good cattle Although the price of
farm products has struck bottom, the
dairying interests have suffered less
than any other. possibly in this sec
ton. This has naturally increased in

rying, and there is a steadily growing

Result Of Appraisal Will Be Used in
Fight for increased Rates, Applied

.(From Wednesdays Daily Herald)
Experts of the Cumberland Tele,
phone and Telegraph Company are in
Columbia gathering ammunition to be
used in the, legal battle before the
public utilities commission for in
creased phone rates in the state.
These experts are carrying out the or
der of the commission in appraising
the property of the company through
out the state.t
Some seven or eight experts COM
prise the party of appraisers, which
is making a most careful inspection
and estimating the cost of Cumber-
land property in the county. Each
mile of wire, each post, the boxes,
switchboards and equipment of every
kind is being examined and this will
play its part in the fight for higher
rates when the case is re-opened by
the utilities commission.
Upon the plea that it was making
no money during the days of financial
depression, the Cumberland Company
last spring applied to the public util-
ities commission for permission to
greatly increase rates. AS soon as
this application was made, phone sub
scribers throughout the state were
called upon to contribute to the fight
against the increase. Attorneys were
employed and thus far they have sue
cessfully conducted the battle. The
rates have not been increased, al
though the phone company transfer

held that the utilities commission had
