Washington. Jan. 29. — The b ill of
tbe Joint Postal commission, just com
pleted, if enacted into law, would cre­
ate a press censorship in the hands of
government employes to determine
what information the reading public
wants, and
extend a paternalistic
guardianship over the counting room
by lim iting the amount of advertising
and specifying just how it shall be
printed in tbe pages of daily newspa­
pers. '
The joint commission started work
on the 'hypothesis that second class
mail matter is carried at a loes to the
government, and does not pay its pro­
portionate share in revenue. One of
the main rreeulte of its pondering is
the discovery that the newspaper, ee
pecially the Sunday edition, has ex­
panded too much in the direction of the
magazine. The members of the com­
mission avow that the miscellaneous
matter contained in the Sunday issue
of a newspaper lacks the “ quality to
make it socially and educationally val­
uable.”
They would reform every
thing by abolishing the Sunday supple­
ment or else make it so inocuous that
nobody would care to read it.
A glance at the above provisions of
the bill w ill fully convince any one o!
the radical nature of the law the com­
mission proposes. I t would lim it the
amount of advertising; it would elim i
nate all legitimate advertising matter
from supplements, and it would pre­
vent the publication in the supple­
ments of all fiction, of all matter of
general and useful information regard­
ing the affairs of the world, and make
the supplement merely an overflow for
the news of the main sheet.

Washington, Jan. 28. —'Conditions
arising from a shortage of fuel and of
food supplies continue to be bad in por­
tions of Nortth Dakota, according to
dispatches received at the Interstate
Commerce commission.
At the same
time other dispatches show the rail­
roads are making efforts to reach the
places suffering from the want of- these
necessities of life. Mayor James J.
Dougherty, a t Park River, N. D., com­
plains that the Great Northern railroad
is not making any effort to move trains
over the lines reaching there. The
oity is entirely out of coal. There has
been no mail for(eix days. Tbe weather
is fine.
Prompt action, the mayor
urges, should be taken to compel the
delivery of fuel and mail.
A dispatch from Sherwood, N. D.,
dated January 26, says the place is en­
tirely without fuel of any kind. Three
cars of coal for Sherwood, it is assert­
ed, were confiscated at Mohalt. There
has been no train for a week. As pro­
visions are low, the situation is report­
ed alarming.
Under yesterday’s date a dispatch
from Milton, N. D., says ■-that two cars
of soft coal liave arrived, but no mail
train as yet. From President H ill, of
the Great Northern, a dispatch was re­
ceived from St. Paul, dated January 26,
saying that two freight trains with 17
cars of coal got through Thursday on
the line reaching Hannah, one of jh e
places suffering from a lack of coal.
M ESSAGE ON CARS.
President Will Urge Pessege'of Lews

Washington, Jan. 28.— The car short­
age question was considered at the
W h ite House today during a conference
participated in by the president, Secre­
tary Root, Secretary Taft, Postmaster
General Cortelyou, Assistant Secretary
Bacon, Chairman Knapp, of the Inter­
state Commerce commission, and Com­
missioner of Corporations Garfield. The
president has announced his intention
of sending to congress a special mes­
sage urging legislation of a remedial
character to meet car shortage emergen­
cies like those existing.
The Interstate Commerce commission
has submitted certain principles which
tbe members think should form the
twain nrf any legislation to be reoom-
mended on that subject to congress,
and if these meet the views of the
president, they w ill be submitted to
that body. Tbe president’s decision is
one of the results of the recent Chicago
reciprocal demurrage convention, and
of the very general complaint which
has been made to the Interstate Com­
merce commission of a ehortage in the
car-carrying equipment of the country.

San Francisco Shippers Pay to Get
Freight Cars.
San Francisco. Jan. 28.— The Bulle­
tin today publishes a story to the effect
that when Interstate Commerce Com­
missioner Lane arrives here this week
to investigate the relations between the
railroads and shippers, he w ill find
conditions very similar to those at 8e-
attle with respect to the “ tipping”
system, resorted to by shippers and
warehouse men, in order to get their
can.
According to the Bulletin’s informa­
tion, the practice has been followed at
the Oakland yards for some time, and
merchants have fonnd that, in order to
get their care to the warehouses they
have to “ tip ” the switchmen in the
yards.
At the office of General Manager Cal­
vin, of the Southern Pacific company,
today, it was admitted that this is be­
ing done, but it was stated that the
fault lay with the merchants them­
selves, who, of their own volition, re­
sort to this practice in order to get
speedy delivery. It was with the ap­
proval of the company.

Portland, Jan. 26.— After ehoowing
conclusively that competition was de­
stroyed by the merger of the Harriman
linee in thia state, C. A. Severance an­
nounced at the close of the Interstate

yesterday afternoon that he would call
no more witnesses here, as the facte lie
came to show had been admitted b y
the testimony of railroad officials.
Commissioner Franklin K. Lane then
adjourned the session to meet in San
FjAnctsco next Tuesday, where R. P.
Schwerin, general manager of th e Pa­
cific Mail Steamship company, and
other Harriman officials w ill be placed
on thè stand.
By the statement of Mr. Severance
to Commissioner Lane, the sessions
in Portland have been eminently satis­
factory to the commission’s attorney.
Witnesses examined yesterday testi­
fied that the year 1901 was an unfortu­
nate one tot Oregon. Then it wax that

the system had an eye single to. big
earnings and a minimum of expendi­
ture. The service suffered, alternative
routes for shippers were denied, and
the roads in possession of the territory
were ameppble to none for business.
Shippers said both rail and water
lines have depreciated since the merger,
there has not been a disposition to ex­
tend into new territory and tbe entire
Central Oregon region has been effectu­
a lly bottled up.
Railroad officials who serve as the
heaq} of allied roads and who there
maintain there is competition between
them, when, as a matter of fact they
work together as two partners in one
business, were grilled yesterday by A t­
torney Severance. .
Witnesses maintained that rates
showing rank discrimination have been
pat into effect on ties to California,
whose object is to harass tbe Gould sys­
tem. Others said the passenger servir»
between Portland and Omaha is abom­
inable, and is due to the merger of for­
merly competing lines, while the steam­
er service to Galifrnia of of the H arri­
man companies is worse than it has
been for 20 years.
W hile Attorney Cotton was at hia
best in stemming the tide of adverse
teetimony and never showed his adroit­
ness to better advantage, the fa c te .
brought out were strongly against the
Harriman interests.
