New Party rate May he Illegal.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 90. 1t is
expected that the rule in relation to
party rates recently adopted by the
transmissouri committee will conflict
with the interstate commerce laws.
The new rule provides that one-way
party tickets shall be sold only to 'or-
gaaized parties giving exhibitions or
taxing part in contests" According
to this rule, no party, no matter how
large, could receive benefit from it un-
less organized to give some sort OF a
public exhibition.
