Decision in the Pasadena Com.
mutation Case.

The State Board of Railroad Commission
ers Yesterday decided the case Of the City
of Pasadena against the Los Angeles Ter
minal Company and the California Southern
Railway. The decision is in favor Of the
transportation companies and is important
naSmuch as it Will always be cited as a
precedent in cases arising between the pee
pie and railroad companies in the matter of
Communication tickets.
The companies in question carry passen-
gers between Pasadena aud Los Angeles.
Up to January l, 1891, rates by either line
were rs follows: Single trip tickets, 20 cents ;
TOund-tTip tickets, . cents; Communication
tickets, good for sixty rides iH thirty days,
So; the single and round trip tickets being
Of the class known as unlimited. On the
date named both companies increased the
price Of Communication tickets from So to 81,
and made the single and round trip tickets
COOL only for the date Of issue.
The Pasadena people az once ordered their
attorney to bring suit, claiming that the adj
vance in rates had been made in direct yio-
lation Of the law prohibiting an advance
where rates have been made for cOmpeti-
tive purposes. The commission declares
that the original rates were not made for
competitive purposes, and that al advance
was necessary to save tie roads Fl ON lnSOl-
Yency. For these and many other less i'm
pOTtaut reasons tile commission nnQS IN at II
cannot compel tile companies To restore the
Rates in force prior to January, 1891

authority of the living church. they haYe,
sought the authority of the dead church.

Paper Taxing Church Property
Meets With Supporters.

n Paper on Taxing Church properly
Meets With Supporters.
The attendance at the Congregational
Club was quite large. After hearing re-
ports from the members relating to their
weeks work, Professor w. S. Cook read
paper upon the subject Of taxing church
property in this State, and presented argu-
mentS against the law.
He argued concerted action on the
part of the clergy and the members
of all denominations to induce the
Legislature to submit an amendment
to the Constitution releasing every re-
ligious and charitable association from
paying taxes. The reading of the paper
evoked some discussion, Which showed that
the members were not all in favor OF the
measure proposed. While most Of the OBJ
jectors had nothing to say against the argu-
ments OF Professor Cook, they thought the
time is not ripe for such action, and 1t IS
doubtful whether any agitation at present
would help the churches.
