UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
. IN KANSAS CITY ANNOUNCES
AGREEMENT.
HAVE THREE MONTHS TRIAL
Both Sides Agree to Stay Out Of the
Courts Pending the Experiment
-Hadley Declares It
Great Victory.

Kansas City, Mo.-The Missouri &c
passenger fare act will go into effect
at once and be given a three months
trial. If at the end of that time the
rate should be unremunerative, its
enforcement can then be Ought in the
courts by the railroads.
The state officials are temporarily
enJoinel from enforcing the maximum
freight rate law and this case will be
argued later in the federal court.
Judge Smith McPhersOn, in the
United States district coart here, aft
er handing down an opinion maintain
ing the courts jurisdiction in the
premises, ordered the PRONUNCIATION of
the above stated facts, which had been
state and the eighteen Missouri rail
roads involved. The court in its de-
cision had suggested that the &c fare
should first be given a practical trial
before injunction proceedings prevent
ing it's enforcement be considered.
Herbert S. Hadley, attorney general,
said regarding the &c bill:
III at d II OF tnree montuS INC
railroads want to litigate the reason
ableness of these rates, the question of
the jurisdiction of the state and fed
eral courts to determine the question
will be fought out and the state has
lost none Of its rights or advantages.
1.-The injunction suits l have bseHght
against the railroad companies on the
passenger rates in the state court will
stand.
"As the reasonableness of the state
law can be more speedily healt and
determined by the federal court on &C
count of the fact that practics-y all
the testimony necessary to IL deter
mination has been already taken there
stand. 1t will be heard and decided in
that court. The state is in the better
position to win the case under the act
of 1907 than it was under the law OF
1905. l feel that the order made is
both a moral and a substantial victory
for the state"

Nova Scotia is an agricultural prov
ince, and like many sections in this
part of the country is troubled with
insect pests, notably the brown-tailed
moth. And our neighbors have bor-
rowed an idea from this side of the in
ternational line. They have set the
children at work. The government
offers a bounty of three cents for
every brown-tailed moth captured and
identified, and agricultural officials
have organized school children's corps
trained to gather the insects and turn
them in. That should do the bust
ness.
