dents inquiry.

In administration circles II is stated
that since President Harding'n recent
visit to the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission and his informal conference.
events are shaping to indicate that
results OF the chief executives mani
festation OF interest in railroad pro-
blems may be expected along these
lines:
That no horizontal reduction in
freight rates may be expected, al
though relief in specific cases will be
afforded. determined by the circum-
stances Of the case: that passenger
rates may not be disturbed until the
fall. and that there is unlikelihood
roads coming to an agreement on So
called seasonAble freight rates on
coal. Freight rates on citrus fruits
are expected to be affected along with
reductions on some farm products.
Rate Cut Called Impossible.
Prior to the visit of the President to
the commission there was consider
able clamor for a horizontal reduction
In freight rates. Many delegations
had called on the President and urged
that such a reduction be made 1t
was in response to the numerous de-
mands made on him. it is understood.
that influenced the President to visit
the commission and ask II whether it
would be possible to cut freight rates
in a horizontal way.
The commission listened to him at.
tentively, and then pointed out how
we'll nigh impossible it would be 70
make horizontal reduction in freight
explained that it had in process the
reduction Of rates on q good many
commodities by joint agreement. The
President did not then, and has not
since, attempted to influence the com
mission to order a horizontal reduc-
ton In rates.
There is still a hitch over the pro-
posed reduction in freight rates on
citrus fruits because the railroads
are insisting that before they will
agree to q reduction the fruit ship
pers on the Pacific coast must agree
not to use the water route by way Of
the Panama canal The representa-
tives of the fruit growers hero say
the nuit man will never agree to any
such arrangement 1t 10 believed,
however. it was learned authoHtA-
lively today, that q reduction in
freight rates on citrus fruits will
shortly be promulgated by the com
| mission.
Rates On Coal Unsettled.
A short time ago 1t seemed probable
that a reduction in freight rates on
coal. both bituminous and anthracite.
would be made by agreement Here
again railroads and the operators
have f8iled to como to an understand
ing. The railroads proposed to make
a cut Of Is cents a ton in freight
| rates. provided the operators would
accept a like cut. The operators, thus
far. have declined to join with the
railroads in sharing the burden, OF a
reduction in freight ratea
Secretary of Commerce Hoover has
for weeks been giving this particular
subject attention. He took il mp at
the inG stence of the cabinet, which
believed that a smart reduction in
freight rates on coal at this season of
the year would stimulate buying for
next winter and which would. Of
1 course, stimulate reduction.

SHALL WE STAND FOR SUCH BANDITRY?

rv>RULY wonderful the diplomacy Portland
tion with the Walula road First the road committee OF
the Portland chamber made the astounding recommends
ton that Eastern Oregon of federal road the
greater portion thereof be used road project Of no value
Eastern Oregon and of slight value anyone else in this state
elsewhere The request for this expensive project was based
first upon the absurd contention that the splendid paved high
way between Pendeon and Wala Walla winter road
and that only through the Walua Umala road may the in
land empire be provided with ayear road to Portland
Second it contended with equal abSurdy na the pro-
posed road would bring some Yakima trade to Portland
When the weaknesses in the committees report point
ed out the president and directors of the Portland chamber
they gave voube that fair hearing would be
corded before final action taken by the chamber and
invitations for meeting December 16 hear

to attend this meeting in hopes of showing the Porand dTec
would be fitting for all concerned that Eastern Ore
CONS share of federal money be expended necessary high
and not upon such questionable venture the Naua

as to convince any open minded person.
But TO- the that the Portland directors decided
to commit themselves first and not wait for the meeting they
themselves had scheduled for December 49, In other words
they decided to give their verdict first and listen to the evidence
afterwards if they listen at all They wish to decide Eastern
Oegon road affairs without giving Eastern Oregon peo
pie chance to object.
TO say that the Portland attitude this case has been high
handed and dcoureous expresses the situation mildly 1csc
days of depression and money for roads With but
little than million dollars post road money for use in
the entire state it natural Eastern Oregon people houl q

few Portland merchants for selfish reasons We cannot a

not TO assert ourselves with view to obtaining Justice
The Portland chambers attitude seems to be that Eastern
Oregon conquered province and that people
entitled to common respect Let hope the members the
state highway commission will take broader view of affairs
Meanwhile we may be able to take satisfaction in seeing
that the Eastern Oregon vote against the the Portland

In Shantung Row
Note Says No Plan For
Settlement Which Is
Acceptable Has Been

Peking, Oct. S.-The text oi
China's reply TO the proposals OF the
japanese government concerning a
settlement OF the Shantune con-
troversy was made public today. II
declares that Japan has advanced no
plan for a settlement which is funda-
mentally acceptable 20 the Chinese
government and people. and that the
Chinese government feels that there
is much in the new proposals still
incompatible with the Chinese gov
ernment's repeated declarations. the
Chinese peoples hopes and aspira-
tions and the PRINCIPLES laid down In
Chinese treaties with foreign ,pew-
ers." .. -',..-. p
Ii Is added that ii the proposals
comprise Japan's final concessions
they surely inadequaiely prove the
sincerity OF Japan's desire to settle
the question" f
The note was handed to the Japa-
nese minister yesterday by DR.. Yen.
the Chinese foreign minister. The
japanese minister said at the time
that he received the document in a
purely unofficial capacity and that he
would return it to DIR. Yen II it was
unacceptable to Japan Today at
the japanese legation it was said it
had not been decided whether to for
ward the memorandum to Toxic or
