Argument waa begun today In the Supreme Court by attorneys for Spokane, Wash., and other Intermountaln cities to obtain final Judicial ruling on the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission granting to those cities freight rate lower than are granted to Paclflo Coast points -on shipments from the East. The arguments marked the closing phase of a fight that has lasted more than 20 years. J. A. Fowler, assistant to the Attor-ney-GenwaL appeared for the Govern ment. He outlined the case, touching on the constitutionality of the long-and-short-haul clause of the interstate commerce law. the validity of the In terstate Commerce Commission's order and the action of the Commerce Court In enjoining enforcement of the order on the ground that the Commission waa without authority to Issue such general Instructions. Mr. Fowler asserted that with freight rates on shipments from the Kant to Spokane as high as to Paclflo Coast cltloe, the latter cities could compete with Spokane In Its natural territory, and thus rob Spokane of the advantage due It by reason of Its geographical position. He insisted that authority to curb the railroads power to advance or ro tard the growth of cities through the manipulation of freight ratea must rest with some agency. The court will hear further argu ments Monday. OREGON DEFEATED BY UTAH Debaters om Rocky Mountain State Win at Eugene. VNIVERSITT OF OREGON, Eugene. Feb. 23. (Special.)
