Ruling of the Interstate Board
That Is of interest TO
Newspaper Men.
NO MORE PASSES FOR THE PRESS
Contract 20 Pay for Transportation in
Advertising Not Good.
Must Involve Some Discrimination
Says President Knapp-How he
Ipterprets the statute
Regulating Rates.

Washington, Oct. 2G.-Under a rul-
mission transportation over railroad
lines no longer may be given to news
paper publishers or editors i'll en-
change for advertising space in their
new spapers. A protest against this
ruling has been received by tie COM
mission from the Massachusetts Press
association, through William J. Heffer-
man, the secretary of the association.
In Hefferman's communication he
says that the association unanimously
voted to center its protest against the
reported ruling in holding that the
payment for railroad transportation at
full rates in advertising shall be treat
ed on any other basis than that Of
transportation paid for in cash.
Law Requires Cash Transactions.
In letter to Secretary Hefferman
in response to the protest Chairman
Knapp, of the commission, says in
part, after quoting the section of the
law which prohibits the issuance OF
free transportation or transportation
paid for in any other way than in
cash: You are, of course, aware that
al tariffs filed in compliance with the
regulating statute name rates i'll dol
lars and cents. and 10 not in any case
provide that transportation can be paid
for with property. 1t seems plain to
the commission that the law above
quoted, coupled with the fact stated,
permits payment for services of inter
state carriers only in money.
Facilities Not Private Property.
''This ruling of the commission in
no way interferes with or abridges
the rights of private contracts. News
papers and their advertising space may
be freely exchanged for any species
of property upon such terms as may
be acceptable to the parties to the
transaction, but the facilities Of the
public carrier are not private property,
nor are they the subject Of bargain
and sale like merchandise. The right
TO travel or have property carried by
rail like the right to the common high
way, is not a contract right, but q
political right, the very essence Of
which IS equality.

"Conceding that the advertising ar
rangements in question are ordinarily
made and carried out in good faith it
seems plain to me that these arrange

Many things combine today to help
him who would till the soil and live
close to the heart of nature. Uncle
Sam Is most generous in sending out
researches, reports and general in
formation along agricultural lines, and
many there are who show their appre-
citation by the good use they make Of
the knowledge sent out. Especially
valuable to the settler or to one who
contemplates settling in a new coun-
try are the pamphlets descriptive OF
soil. climate and general conditions
which are published. The information
thus furnished, if properly needed,
might be the means of saving one
bad move and expense. or, on the other
hand, it might lead to a move which
would change ones condition from
poverty and debt to wealth and iniu-
ence. a..

Three things are to be considered III
permitting the immigrant to come into
our country. They are physique, desti-
nation and the presence or absence of
disease. Those of weak constitutions
flock to the large cities, where they
herd together in the tenement. not only
polluting the already bad air, but also
aggravating the crowded and poverty
stricken conditions, while those Of the
more rugged and hardy frames scatter
out over the broad and fertile prairies,
where they make homes and build
cities and become actual as well as
nominal citizens. The latter class are
not only welcomed, but encouraged to
locate within our borders.

this is to make them do a little scratch

place their food too conveniently or

seem to know that they have a supper

instead of getting out and doing a lit

Otherwise they get dumpy and fail to

There is much to be commended in
the plan followed by a good many
farmers in allowing the good wife to
have for her own all the money made
from the chickens and turkeys which
may be raised on the farm. If she
should get every cent of it, she would
be only getting what she has in nine
cases out of ten earned, but yet a
great deal less than she would be en-
titled to under an equitable division
of the proceeds derived from the man
agement of the farm.
