RaIIroads and the constItutIon.

(From The Chicago Chroniclc.)


Another fourteenth amendment has just been de-
cIdcd by the supreme OF the United States
The constitution OF Kentucky contains long and short
haul provision applicable the traffic OF railroads conducted
wholly within State similar to the provision of the inter
state commerce law respecting interstate traffic.
Under this provision and law enacted in pursuance
thereof indictment found in a Kentucky court in
1903 against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company
charging for carrying coal distance than
for carrying II longer distance between other points with
in the State. The tai resulted in fine of sac
The company appealed the ground that the long and
short haul provisions of the State constitution and
victye OF the fourteenth amendment National cons
tuition. The supreme decides effect that the
provision which the company relied not applicable
in this case, The court says:
When citizens OF Kentucky voluntarily seek and obtain
grant from the State Of charter to build and maintain
public highway in the form OF railroad would seem to
lie evident that they take hold and operate their road sub
ect to the constitutional inhibition considering and
are with, ut power to challenge its validity
would appear from this language that the charter was
sought aud accepted by the company after the long and short
haul provision incorporated in the State constitution
Otherwise the company surely would in position
show il could that the provision Was repugnant to the
constitution Of the United States
H. then the decision based the sole ground that
the company took held and operated its road subject this
then existing provision of the State constitution the oues
ton still remains undecided whether that provision would
be yioatve Of tile National constitution il applied TO rail
roads chartered before the adoption Of the State provision
1t would therefore that very important question as
whether the fourteenth amendment be successfully
invoked for the rroe Of railroads against amendments
SAFE and laws made in pursuance thereof
is still unsettled

REPRESENTATIVE OF GARRETT
CROMWELL COMPANY AR.
RIVED YESTERDAY.
HE is NOW IN CHARGE
At Once Went to the Site and is Very
Much Pleased With it-Thinks
Brunswick An Excellent
Port.

The people Of Brunswick were hap
by yesterday morning over the arriv-
al of Chas. p. Turner. resident engi-
neer. and one of the right hand bow
ers of the Garred-Cromwel Engineer
ing Co. Cleveland, Ohio, who have
been awarded the contract of the ten
million dollar steel plant of the Mo-
hawk Valley Steel and Wire company.
Promptly on arriving in the city, Mr.
Turner presented his credentials to
Go. e. c. Machen, fourth vice-presi-
dent of the company, and received nee
essary directions. He then visited the
site and took active charge of all
preliminary plans. He was seen by
a News representative shortly after
his visit to the site and was thorough
ly pleased and very deeply impressed
with the selection. He says it is
splendidly adapted for steel plant
and thinks the site, all in all, is an
ideal one II is very likely that he
will remain in Brunswick during the
period Of construction and will be the
general representative of the contrac-
tore.
Mr. Turner has been WITH the Gar
rettCromwell people for many years
and is thoroughly familiar with every
detail Of the important work incident
to constructing these mammoth plants.
As stated above the people were
very much pleased with this develop
ment, for it serves to convince them
more than ever that the promoters
OF his enterprise do not propose to
lose any unnecessary time in getting
to work Mr. Turner expresses him
self as being wen pleased with Bruins
wick, was particularly charmed with
the aalubriousness and at once fell

tages that must appeal to any strau-
Ger who is the least bit observant
