' , ceedlng by ths Import of the decision
taaihnd in the Minnesota and North
. i vMnn. uilnui m eases.
The effect of the decision la to make
" all state railway coramlsalons and state
iairial&turea amenable to the federal

ter the fourteenth amendment to the
' constitution of the united States any
stockholder or a raiiroaa company

'Ishes the rate making powers of state
legislatures and state railway com
missions." said J. O. Flanders, when
naked for his flews after reading the
press reports Of the decision. He said
It would be Impossible to give sn Intel
lifcent - opinion of the effect until the
, entire' decision Is received and read,
rit will make no difference whether
a railroad la all within a state, or
whether It la an interstate railroad. The
rights of ths stockholder aro the same
and he can bring an . action In the
' federal court to prevent ths eniorce

" rates, and if It can be shown that the
proposed lower rate promulgated by
the legislature or the commission Is
' not a reasonable rate the action of
the legislature or the commission be
- . comes void. I '
"Under this decision the states hav
ing i-cent fare laws may go back to
8-cetit fares. It would probably be
' ..'done) by the process of snowing that
the l-cent fare is not a reasonable rate
e a matter of profit to the stockhold

' The same principle would apply to
freight, rates, as the earnings of the
railroad and the rights of the stock-
' holder to a fair return from his prop

of the old principle to the ratemaklng

uuoted until ' he bad read the full de
cision. "Jt will abolish ths powers of
tne state railway commission ana tne
state leaislature of Oregon so far ss
they may undertake to make rate. The
only power to determine' whether a rate

Smith of Medford has completed ar

ths old Henry Smith, or Wolf creek,
property, so-called, owned by Booth A
Kuykendali., for 130,000. Mr. Smith la
a native of Pennsylvania and has been
In Oregon five years. With his family
he spent four months In ths east last
summer sod many of his friends, hear
ing him confirm the many wonderful
stories about Oregon, began to bellev;e
them and he 'came back promising that
he would loak up a suitable tract in a
good locality for the- settlement of n
colony of congenial people. Such a
tract he believes he has round In this
property. . 1 ,
it is estimated that about -1,609 acres
of the tract Is adapted to various kinds
of fruit, and this will be the principal
Industry. Associated with him will be
his brother, J. Irvln Smith, of Wll
liamsport. Pennsylvania; J. M. Pinker-
ton of Wisconsin, reoently of Klamath
Falls, and possibly another friend from

placed upon the community. Should
the county not go dry in June, every
deed will ..contain a forfeiture Clause-In
case any of the property Is ever used
for saloon or immoral purposes.
Some trees and vines will be set out
t once and next fan planting will be
gin in earnest. Purchasers of tracts
who cannot at once settln upon them can
have them planted and cared for at a
reasonable price till ready to settle, and
it will be the aim to plant enough of
each kind of fruit In the settlement to
enable car-lot shipments when they
come to the bearing age.

The" farthest limit of the main tract
Of 1.800 acres Is only about two miles

and extremes of heat; and cold, with

MAYOR SCORES
Although an ordinance will be Intro
duced in the city council this afternoon
to behead tho special Investigating
committee of the council. It is probable
that Mayor Lane will appoint another
committee to take its place, as he did
In the case of the franchise committee.
Another feature about the "behead
ing" ordinance to be introduced this
afternoon is that it cannot be put upon
final passage without tne Unanimous
consent of the council, and It is proba
ble that at, least one member of the
minority party will object The meas
ure wiu then nave to go through tn
regular Channels and cannot come up
for- passage until It hss been reported
back by a committee. If this Is done.

opportunity to hale Councilman Driscoll

in regard to the operations of the al
leged draymen's trust Councilman
Vaughn announced yesterday that a
meeting of the investigating committee
will be held tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock and that the. draymen would be
questioned.
To get Vaughn and Driscoll together
In the same room wltn the doors closed
means at least a verbal clash and thoso
acquainted with the councilman would
not be surprised to see them go stilt
further. Inasmuch as Vaushn alts 'at
one end or. me long t&Die in me commit

as to Mayor lane s power to appoint
a special . committee to Investigate
trusts or combinations different ooln
ions are held. Some members of the
council hold that the charter limits the
mayor's fower in such cases solely to
rrancnise committees. Mayor Lan on
the other hand contends that he has the
power to appoint any kind of a com
mlttee he desires and threatens to do
so If the council beheads the "trust
committee.
This means that ths mayor will have
administered another body blow in the
fight between the majority party and
Mayor Lane. The announcement today
mat tne majority party would .withdraw
its ordinance recalling the subway com
mlttee Is considered as another victory

Some time ago Detective Rocca was
assigned to watch the local reds. Hs
