THE RAILROADS BEATEN.
Supreme Court Holds That the Joint Traf,
fic Association IL Operated in Re-
straiDt OF Trade.

Washington, Oct. 25.-The United
States supreme court yesterday decided
the Joint Traffic association railroad
case in favor of the United States
against the railroads. The case is con-
sidered one of the most impor tant that
has ever come from the supreme court,
not only to the railroads, but to the
general public, and because of the
vast railroad properties represented
by the traffic association. The as
ISOLATION was formed on November 10.
1895. by 81 railways, representing the
great trunk lines and their network of
branches. The purpose of the associa-
ton, stated in the articles of agree
ment, was "to establish and maintain
reasonable and just rates, fares, and
regulations on state and interstate
traffic" A similar association, on a
smaller scale. was formed among south
western roads, known as the Trans
missouri association. These asso-
Citations were soon attacked in the
courts on the ground that they were
in violation of the Sherman antitrust
law and also of the intercommerce law.
The Transmissouri first reached the
United States supreme court, where, in
a notable opinion, the court held that
the association was illegal, being in
effect a combination in restraint of
trade and commerce, and therefore
violative of the anti trust law.
Justice Peckman announced the de.
cision. He said that the court could
distinguish no difference between this
and that of the Transmissouri case
decided year ago, which was decided
against the railroads. He said the
only new point involved was as to the
constitu tionality of the antitrust act
The court had reached the conclusion
that, as railroad corporations per-
formed duties of a semi-public charac-
ter. it was in the constitutional power
of congress to regulate them as pro-
vided by the antitrust act The only
question then was as to the policy of
congress in adopting such a measure.
and as to questions of policy the court.
he said, had nothing to do.

EXCHANGE FAVORED.
Kansas City Live Stock Exchange
Not Violating Antitrust Law.
Federal Supreme Court Holds That the Or
EanixatioD, Though Handling Live
Stock from Different States, La Not
Engaged In Interstate Commerce.

Washington, Oct 25.--The supreme
court yesterday handed down an opin-
| ion in the case against the Kansas City
Live Stock exchange. The govern
ment prosecuted under the antitrust
law. The supreme court holds that the
association does not come under the
antitrust law. Justice Harlan, in a
dissenting opinion, declared that such
com binations were rings or syndicates
which. if extended to oil, sugar, salt.
lumber and other staples, would place
the commerce of the country under the
control of few rings and syndicates.
The association is carried on at the
Kansas City stock yards, partly in
Kansas and partly in Missouri.
Its members receive shipments of
cattle from Nebraska, Colorado. Tex
as, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and the
territories, selling them to the large
packing-houses, particularly in Chi
cago, ST. Louis and New York. The
lower court ruled against the ex-
change, on the ground that it was a
combination in restraint of trade.
Justice Peckham's opinion. in whcih
all the court except Justice Harlan
concurred. reverses the lower court
and upholds the legality of the asso-
citation. The opinion states that the
Kansas City exchange is merely local
aid to interstate association. Because
the cattle themselves come from vari-
GUS states it does not follow, the opin-
ion states, that all persons performing
any service connected with them are
engaged in interstate commerce.
A similar ruling was made in the
case of the United States against j. C.
Anderson and others, involving the
Kansas City association known as the
Traders Live Stock exchange" In
this case, also, the court upholds the
association upon the ground that it is
purely local and not engaged in inter-
state traffic within the meaning of the
antitrust law. Justice Harlan said
that if this particular combination
was not one in restraint of trade, then
it was impossible to find one.

THE NEW ARMY.

It is encouraging to nCte that several leading members of Ehe senate and house of representatives have recently publicly declared themselves, in favor of increasing the regular army to at least 75,0OG men. A hopeful sign Of the sentiment existing in congress, also, is the fact that more than one member of the minority party in the national legislature is on the side of the repu5- licans who have most freely endorsed the expansion plan. Among leaders of the controlling party none was more confidently counted On as an advocate of increasing the standing force, than was Senator Joseph R. Hawley, chair man Of the senate committee OF mili- tary affairs Nevertheless, since the present agitation began in favor of re- taining foreign territory captured in the war, General Rawley did not until the other day publicly and unmis';ak- ably declare his conviction On the sub ject of army increase. Speaking at the annual dinner Of the New Haven cham Der of commerce, the senator said:
 T believe that the United States should have a. standing army of at least 75,OO0 men, and a navy third larger than it is now"
 Judging from the recent public u,ter- ances of the members Of congress who are also known to be national expan- sionists, every leading advocate of ter ritoIial extension is likewise, consist ently, an advocate Of army increase. This fact makes the chances of legis- lation favorable To tripling the present peace strength of the country's mili- tary very bright. Representative Hull, as the chairman Of the house commit tee on military affairs, may be counted on to lead .the apparently overwheln- ing sentiment in the house favoring the proposed measure, and Senator Haw- ley, as shown by his speech q New Ha- ve1, will Urge the matter il the sen ate.
 Opinions will differ widely as to the method Of accomplishing the increase,

IF The Republicans campaign foI good roads let not the Tempe road be forgotten. It certainly has been neg lected of late, even as compared with other roads out Of ,he city; and yet it is the road to the largest village near Phoenix, and the road to the normal. Other roads like the Yuma and Grand avenue have been sprinkled, but the Tempe road seems to have been for gotten. This is a matter that should be attended to at once by the super visors. The roads entering Phoenix cannot be kept in too good condition. It is matter of dollars and cents to every one who travels over them.
 Money spent by the county in this manner will TO. be. regretted by the taxpayers. Let some improving on
 the Tempe road be done without delay.
