INTERESTING QUESTION.
Companies May Have to Pay
Separate Telephone Licenses.

The State Corporation Commission had
before it yesterday two cases OF an in
teresting character, involving the con-
structlon Of the statute imposing q char
ter fee, or entrance fee, upon foreign cor
poratlons to be licensed by the Commits
sion to do business inNirginia. The two
defendant companies were the Standard
OH Company and the American Can Com
pay. The charters of these two compa-
MES give them the right to operate tele-
phone and telegraph lines and exercise
powers of what are known as public SER
Vice corporations. The statute provides
that upon licensing n corporation with
these powers in Its charter to do business
in this State, a much larger charter fee
shall be paid than In the case Of an ordi-
nary business corporation. The constl-
nationality of this act was challenged by
the counsel for the two companies and
an argument OF considerable length was
made. Mr.. Roger W. Gull, Of Baltimore,
represented the Standard Oil Company,
and George L. Christian, OF this city
the American Can Company. The COM
mission reserved It's decision, which will
b announced later. Eg
