eYMPATHY FOR WEST

A simple. plain-spoken message from
President Coolidge probably made as
deep an Impression ON the newly
formed Western Tariff association at
its recent meeting in Denver as amy
other single expression to come before
the delegates. Officers and members
saw in it a sympathy for the needs of
the West in tariff protection which
will mean much for Western Produ-
GERS during President Coolfdge's IN
cumbency.
The association received the mes
sage with resounding applause and as
one Of It's closing acts drafted q reso.
luton thanking the president for his
interest in this initial Western tariff
congress and declaring his statements
had gone far in speeding the sessions
toward a satisfactory agreement on
future demands for tariff legislation.

Councilman Lou Cohen has introduced resolution
which states the intention of the council not TO renew
the franchise until the company has dismissed this m
cation and assured the city against any other rate in
creases.
This resolution will come before the council from the
franchise committee with two recommendations the ma
iorty signed by President Fitzgerald and Councilman
Blaine advising that the resolution be not passed. and

that the resolution be passed.
Fitzgerald and Blaine state that the phone company
should be forced into such action, but that the
should be decided its merits Corporation Counsel
Kennedy has pointed out that the city only chance to
itself from rate boost is thru Cohens resolution
Should the city grant the franchise without any
