and urge all citizens to give thought
and attention to both protection and
extension of our tree growing areas.
The whole problem of protection
and extension of our tree wealth is
one that can be most profitably con-
sidered by all. Many of the fire and
pest risks can be measurably reduced
by awakening interest in such things.
furthermore. one of the best oppor-
tunities of the present day is offered
in various branches of tree propaga-
ton. Let us each become an ardent
advocate and a worker in Harvesting

SUPREME COURT
LIMITS POWERS
Of |. c. {. OVER
STATE RAILWAYS
[Republican A. P. Leased WlreJ


WASHINGTON. Mar. 1S-The in
terstate commerce commission was
held today by the supreme court TO
be without authority to authorize or
compel the abandonment of strictly
state railroad.
The decision. which was handed
down in a case brought by the state
of Texas against the Eastern Texas
railroad company, to prevent that
road from dismantling under an or
der issued by the commission, de-
clared that where a railroad lies en-
tirely within a single state, is owned
and operated of that state, and is not
part of another line and where its
continued operation can not be Of
more than local concern. the COM
mission was without jurisdiction.
Interstate and foreign commerce
will not be burdened or affected by
any shortage in the earnings nor viii
any carrier in such commerce have
to bear or make good the shortage y
of the Eastern Texas railroad. Judge
Vandevanter stated in declaring the
opinion to which there was no dis
sent.
For the courts to hold. the decision
said, that congress in authorizing the
interstate commerce commission to
regulate the extension and abandon
ment Of old lines. intended that the
commission should deal with the
abandonment of such a road as 10
intrastate as well as interstate and
foreign commerce. would raise a SER
ious question as to the constitutional
validity of the law. Where a state Is
susceptible of two constructions, by
one of which grave and doubtful con-
stitutional questions arise and by the
other such questions are avoided, II
is the duty of the court to adopt \e
latter" Justice Van Deventer said,
adding that by giving the section the
mort restricted construction, its va
lidity would be undoubted.
AS construed by the court ii was the
intention of congress to enact law
TO regulate interstate and foreign
commerce, and to affect state COM
merce only as it may be incidental
to the effective regulation and pro-
lection Of interstate commerce.
Justice Van Devanter said there were
many manifestations of a continuing
purpose on the part of congress to
refrain from any regulation of purely
state commerce, save such as was
involved in it's rightful exertion of
it's control over interstate and for
eign commerce.
Justice Van Devanter said the court
would not pass upon the question OF
whether the railroad company was
entitled to abandon it's line. bcausee
! that question was not presented in
! this case, the only issue before the
court being, he explained. whether the
| interstate commerce commission had
| exceeded its authority in ordering the
railroad to abandon its line.

Arizona republican., 1922-03-14

before adjournment to accept a
unanimous consent agreement for a
vote tomorrow on the first OF the
proposed amendments.
Senators Johnson Of California,
and Borah Of Idaho, both Republi-
cans took the lead in the all-day
attack. the former declaring ratifica :
tion OF the treaty would be a ma
tional surrender" under a threat Of
danger from the Anglo Japanese al
lance. and the latter asserting that
the proposed four power arrange
mcnt would transfer to the Pacific
the old balance of power system that
has dominated Europe for centuries.
A question as to the authorship Of
the treaty and its supplemental
agreements again were raised during
the debate, Mr.. Borah asserting that
despite Secretary Hughes letter ac-
cepting responsibilities for the final
draft. there seemer to be THE most
conclusive proof that somebody else
wrote the treaty.
The amendment on which it was
agreed to vote at D. m, tomorrow
was proposed by Senator Robinson,
Democrat of Arkansas and will be
the first issue of the four power
treaty fight to come to q roll call.
AS modified today by Mr.. Robinson II
provides that the rights OF nations
both in and out of the four power
group are to be respected and that
non -signatory as well as signatory
nations, shall be invited to any con-
ference held to consider contro-
versies affecting their insular inter-
ests in the Pacific "or any Far East
ern questions"
Administration leaders declared to-
night they had sufficient votes 70
defeat the amendment. Senator Rob-
fnson made a short speech today IA :
voring its adoption in the interest
he said. of fair play for Russia CHINA
and other non signatory nations, and
Senator Lenroot, Republican of Wis
consin. argued against ii on the
ground that it would impose blanket
obligations gedng even beyond the
league OF nations covenant
Senator Johnson's address OF more
than two hours, was directed largely
against the declaration OF the treaty S
supporters that it's chief benefit lay
i'm the provision abrogating the AM
glo-Japanese alliance.
The chief difference between the
new treaty and the league covenant,
Senator Johnson declared seemed
to be that it bore a Republican in
stead Of a Democratic label.
Compared to Triple Entente
Senator Borah, in turn, likened the
treaty to the triple entente of Euro
pe. which. he said did not bind
Great Britain and Russia to go to the
aid OF France in 1914 but neverthe-

WATER USERS
TO SAVE $50, 900

A saving of $4,000 IN interest on
deferred payments to the government
will be made by the Salt River Valley
Water Users association as a result
of the passage by the senate, yester-
day. of the McNary bill. it was an
nounced last night by G. c. Cragin,
general manager and chief engineer
Of the association. This saving has
been made possible because the rate
Of interest on deferred payments has
been reduced by the government to
5 per cent. The former rate was l.
per cent.
The Water Users association un-
der the McNary bill, will now have
until January /. 1924 to work out d
program for the payment of its debt
to the government which will be ac-
ceptable TO the federal authorities as
we'll as not too hard on the farmers
of the Salt River valley.
A payment of $203,00 must be
made by the Water users association
in December. 1922, and another pay
ment Of s406,000 falls due in Decem-
Der 1923. The interest on these and
on other deferred payments will only
amount to 5 per cent.

LITTLE HOPE
FOR AVERTING
NATION WIDE
COAL STRIKE
Mine Operators Continue
Refusal To Enter Confer
ence With Unions Des-
pite Government Appeal
[Republlcan A. P. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, March IS. - Little
hope for averting a strike in the
unionized bituminous coal fields on
April / was held out today in those
official circles which are most con-
cerned with the repeated govern
mental attempts to bring about an
adjustment OF wage agreement diff
ferences.
Mine operators. it was declared,
were continuing in their refusal TO
enter a conference with the United
Mine Workers looking to the crea-
tion of new wage contract for the
central competitive field, notwith-
standing representations made to
them by Secretary of Labor Davis,
who holds that existing conditions
require them at least to enter nego-
tiations regardless OF whether such
negotiations are carried TO compile
tion.
The United Mine Workers of
America, the general union organi-
zation, was declared to be entirely
willing to enter a conference, al
though insisting upon the mainte-
nance of existing wage scales, which
were adopted in 1920. The employ
ers are demanding reductions
amounting to 20 per cent or more.
1t was indicated in official cir
cles today that the government would
go no further at present but await
the development of the threatened
strike. The degrees of possible gov
ernment Intervention later. it was
said.-by high official, would be
determined by the degree TO which
the strike, if it developed might
affect adversely the public welfare.
Statistics assembled for the labor
department indicate that 65,000,0O0
tons of coal are now in storage
approximately q ten weeks supply
for the entire country that this
amount is rapidly being augmented
and that non union production is
tending to increase. Local agree
ments between the union and oper-
ators also are expected TO so in ef-
feet on or before April 1, which would
insure maintenance of further oper-
ations.
Secretary Davis was said to be
maintaing a policy of hands off with
reference to the anthracite situation,
on the ground that operators and
miners were now comforting and that
prospects were at least hopeful that
wage contracts would be made. Of
ficials declared there was no reason
to believe that coal strike would
spread to other industries and took
occasion to point out that in 1908,
when a general strike developed in
the anthracite regions, former Presi-
dent Roosevelt did not interfere until
it had been in progress for six
months.
John L. Lewis, president OF the
United Mine Workers was expected
to arrive in Washington tomorrow,
but union representatives here sald
he would then go Immediately to New
York to participate in the anthracite
negotiations.

TWO YEAR EXTENSION
GRANTEDON PAYMENT
OF PROJECT CHARGES

WASHINGTON, March IS. The
senate late today passed the AIcNary
bill, authorizing the secretary OF the
interior in his discretion to extend
for a period of two years from De-
cember 81, 1922, the time for payment
of construction and water charges on
federal irrigation projects.
The bill further provides that water
may be furnished organized groups of
users in a given project upon presen-
tation of a sufficient number of in
dividual showings that the extension
of deferred payments for water is
necessary. Water may be furnished
individuals also during the irrigation
season of 1922 even though such users
may be in arrears more than one year
in the payment of operation, main
tenance or construction charges.
The rate of interest on all deferred
payments is fixed at five per cent.
The bill specifies, however, that in
event the fee and interest charge are
not paid, on the date due after ex-
tension, that the water user would be
liable for all penalties provided in
the irrigation laws and that they will
apply from the date on which they
were originally due
To obtain the deferred payment
privilege the applicant for the extern
sion shall first show by verified
statement of assets and liabilities
that the extension is actually neces-
sary.
The only other provision is that
the applicant shall be q. land owner
or entryman actually cultivating the
land against which the charge has
accrued.
