Attorneys Thomas Marlon-eau- x and A. B. Irvine appeared for the defendants. Mr. Jensen that argued transfers had already been made of property by the judgment debtors, and urged that haste was needed In bringing the suit to final Judgnfcnt.

Mr. Prlckett advocated the division of western classification territory for Into three purposes groups, particularly to the end that the west of El Paso, Albuterritory lying querque, Colorado common points and the intermountain section be Included In one group. He presented statistics to show that the net operating revenues In the Intermountain section are proportionately very much greater than In any other section of the United States. The Utah traffic man selected the calendar year 1917, a typical normal year, for his presentation. In that year, he showed, the net operating revenue per mile of line of the Union Pacific railroad derived from its operations in Nebraska and Kansas, was (61(0, and compared It with that of (13,445 per mile of line derived from Hs operations In Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, the latter revenue being more than double that of the former. The difference, or (7265 per mile of road, representing an annual rate of 646 per cent of (131,952 per mile of line. Mr. Prlckett argued that the crying need of the country Is for increased production and that the commission should be careful In advancing any rates that would In any way limit the industrial outpuL Limiting production, he said, would have the effect of Increasing the cost of foodstuffs and materials and would be followed by additional demands of labor fop Increased wages, which In turn would be followed by additional demands of ths carriers for further Increases Mr. Prlckett discussed at length the effect of raising rates and disturbing the relationships of rates from Utah and Intermountain territory on ore, canned goods, potatoes, potash, phosphate rock, packing house products, coal, sugar, grain, plaster, hay, alfalfa meal and other commodities produced In that territory. He also went Into the question of westbound transcontinental rates showing the effect of the present adjustment on Utah and other intermountain territory.

Convinced that the Borah bill, whloh carries an appropriation of (344.000,044 for service men through the media of land and reclamation projects, and which was favorably reported by the ways and means committee of the senate on the day preceding adjournment of congress, will, in all likelihood, be passed by ths senate at the next session of oongress, former Governor William Spry returned home yesterday after being absent since the early part of January, Mr. Spry Is also of ths opinion that the bill, which carries a like amount but differs from the Borah measure In that it provides that ths earnings of the fund shall be put back into reels- - , matlon work. Is a progressiva step In leg3j Islatlon, and embodies the Ideas upon which the reclamation work of the next decade should be conducted.

Smlth-Fletch- er Revenue Retards Wort Arousing of general Interest in congress on behalf of big reclamation projects has been a laborious and at times seemingly a hopeless task," said Mr. Spry yesterday. "Neglect on the part of many lawmakers to look at things other than those which concern their Immediate section is partly responsible, and then, too, the fact that the estimated expense of government for the next year are above the estimated revenues, was a big factor In retarding our work. The original bill, carrying (250,004.040 for reclamation purposes, was drafted by the western governors and presented In the upper house by Senator McNary of Oregpn and In the lower house by Congressman Klnkald of Nebraska, was too staggering In Hs magnitude to enable us to get far with 1L "So this measure waa held In abeyance, and another measure, prepared by Congressman Addison Smith of Idaho and Senator Fletchefi of Florida, was prepared.

While we were getting matters In shape for committee , work with the measure, the American came along with Its bonus plan, Legtor and ft was again necessary to hold the matter In abeyance, and we asked Senator Borah to present a measure that embodies the bonus and the reclamation fund In one bill. 8enator Borah did this, but it waa drawing so near the wind-u- p of the session that we had to work on the run. "The bill was favorably reported out of the public lands committee of senate at 4 oclock on the day beforethecongress adjourned. I believe It will be called up and receive favorable consideration early In the next eesslon of congrese.
