enacted by the legislature. The commit

peans, a desirable class of people from
the congested districts of the north and
east to move to Alabama.
The special committee is directed to
meet in Birmingham on December 4, per-

NEWSPAPER CASE
GOES INTO COURTS
Can Pay for Transportation
With Advertising
MONON WILL TEST THE LAW
Made Their Contracts In Good Faith,
the Price to Be Paid Being the
Same as Charged other
Passengers.
MONON WILL TEST THE LAW

Chicago, November 22.-The supreme
court of the United States is to be asked
TO PASS upon the question whether a
railroad company can issue transportation
in exchange for advertising in newspa-
pers. A test case is to be made in illinois
or rather an opportunity will be given to
the interstate commerce commission to
have the courts pass upon their ruling
that nothing but money can lawfully be
received or accepted in payment for trans
portation.
Shortly after the new rate law went into
effect the question arose as to whether
a railroad could continue to issue trans
portation for newspaper advertising. 1t
came before the commission, and that
body decided that under the law only
money could be accepted. The justice OIL
this ruling was not seen by the legai
department of the Monon railroad ana
George Kretzinger, general counsel and
f. C. Field, general solicitor, wrote to
the interstate commerce commission and
gave their construction of the law, based
on decisions of the courts.
Consider Law Carefully.
They said they had carefully considered
the law before the PRONUNCIATION OF the
rule, and under their construction OF law
had entered into contracts In good taith
with publishers for the publication oil
time cards, etc, and for the payment oil
such services agreed to pay stated sum
In transportation at the rate fixed by the
Nonon's duly published tariff, which in
every instance was the exact equivalent
of the agreed price for publication. The
law they said nowhere in terms provides
that payment for transportation shall be
in money. and 1t must therefore follow

that the freedom of contract as between
railroad and an individual is precisely
the same as between other citizens.
Pay Something Besides Money.
If this be true, they went on to say 1t
is difficult to understand when service
for railroad corporation and contract
made in good faith and for agreed con-
sideration admittedly fair that the parties
may not mutually stpulate for the pay
ment in anything but money. To hold
otherwise, they urged, is to deny the
freedom Of contract to a particular class,
which is everywhere extended as to every
other class. The rule universally stated
and upheld by the courts is What the
parties agree shall constitute the pay
ment, the law will adjudge to payment.
II is competent for parties to designate by
their contracts how and in what payment
may be made. 1t Is by no means true
that payment can only be made in money,
on the contrary, it may be made in prop
erty or in service. The inhibition they
added, against charging greater or
less or different compensation relates
alone to a difference in the established
rats and not to the manner of making
payment of such rate
The evil which the act was intended to
remedy, 1t was urged, was that rate
published should not mean one thing TO
one man and another thing to another
and the law was intended to make 1t plain
that the published rate in fact, as we'll as
form, should mean the same thing to all
men, 1t would be immaterial, therefore
in the accomplishment of this end
whether the rate should be paid in money
| or in actual services performed II the
services were the equivalent of the money.
| The rule as propounded by the commits
| sion. they said. would mean an anomoly
| in the law in that corporations could do
| indirectly what they are prohibited from
| doing directly.
Give an Illustration.
AS an illustration, they said. we con-
| tract for a given advertisement for six
| months at 500, which Is forthwith paid.
! The publisher concurrently Herewith buys
| four 1000 mile books, the price being 500

! for his mileage books. Whether there
| fore, the transaction is contaminated in
/ one way or the other, the result is pre-
| csely the same"
| The interstate commerce commission did
! not reply to the letter of Mr.. Kretsinger
| and Mr.. Field, which was dated October
| l. and President McDoel of the Monon
| road, has issued orders to the passenger
| department to continue the making of
contracts with publishers of newspapers
! and to issue the transportation in pay
| ment for equivalent advertising. As the
| interstate commerce commission having
made ruling on the subject Will be quite
| likely to adhere to 1t the Monon railroad
| will sooner or later be notified to appear.
| and thus will be taken the first step to-
| ward a construction by the supreme court
| of United States of the commissions in
depreciation of this provision of new rail-
| poad rate bill.
