NEW HAVEN MORNING JOURNAL AND COURIER SATURDAY. AUGUST a. lgo7

isfy himself that the proffered rate has been duly filed in the office of the In- terstate Commerce Commission at Washington, and the ruling of the two-year- District Judge Landis is the first judicial ruling to that effect
 The reasoning in its favor, is, for sooth that considering all the federal statutes concerning interstate com merce, though the carrier fixes the rate, and may change it, on thirty days notice to the Interstate Com merce Commission, yet, while the rate remains unchanged, 1t is to be deemed in law of the same force as if the rate for the time being was established by act of congress, of which all persons must take notice.
 The doctrine is most certainly erron- eous. The only office of the Interstate Commerce Commission is at Washing ton, and the only place where the changing, moving platform statutory rate can be ascertained is at that off, flee. Probably there, are there some hundred thousand rate sheets. ss
 Moreover their interpretation would be difficult. The Chicago and Alton in this case, had filed, at the office of the commission, an duplication sheet" which as they claimed, sufficiently showed that the commodity rate on oil was six cents, and not eighteen cents. Now to hold that there is any such implication in these federal statutes, that shippers from San Diego, Cal, to Eastport, Me, before accepting rate of freight, must first inquire whether such rate has been filed and properly | filed in the office of the commission at Washington, Is the height of absurdity.
 When the shipper applies at the reg ular office of the carrier and asks for the open customary rate, and for no concession or discrimination or favor, and has no knowledge or supposiyion that the carrier has not filed the rate at Washington (and these are the ad- mitted facts, in this celebrated case admitted in substance In the opinion of Judge Landis) then the shipper may safely accept the rate without the risk of mourning a penalty of $20,O00 or $29, 000,0O0
 An indignant business public would not for a moment tolerate any other rule. And no such absurd statute has been enacted.

 HUGH J. REYNOLDS. rrrr rr--
 TO the Editor of Journal and Courier:
 l saw in your esteemed paper a few days since that Dr. Wright of the board of health had asked for an extra appropriation for the board to guard against an epidemic of typhoid fever. Now, Mir, Editor, If our great mogul of the board of public works would get out the hose of the fire department and wash down all of the paved streets of the filth that has collected since July l, not having any rain since that time, It would in my opinion. be one of the best sanitary measures that could be done. Think of the foul and dirty pavements that are sprinkled, and hot sun comes down, and it steams up like pouring water on a hot stove. Is 1t not fair to presume that we will get our share of fever. etc. in due time the germs are now being sent into our system, and we must be of an iron con stitution to throw it off. /.
 Now, MT. Coe, get busy-get out the hose at night and wash out our streets, and let us have one day that we can draw good long breath and really en- joy 1t.

Aull objected to this amendment on
the ground that when we voted on the
question in 1906 under the Brice law
the understanding was, and that law
provided, that there should be no
election within four years. The orig
inal local option bill in the recent
Legislature provided for an election
in the counties which had voted tho
dispensary out, to be held in 1908. If
an election was to be held before
1909, it seems to us that it is just as
well, if not better, to have that elec-
ton in 1907, so that the only ques-
ton to be decided will be the qucs-
ton between prohibition and county
dispensary, and will be entirely di-
vorced from the personality of the
candidates, who may be seeking posi-
ton. In other words, we can come
nearer getting the sentiment of the
people on this question, when it is the
only issue than we can if it we're
mixed up with the selection of the
candidates. and if the election is held
this year. then we can have no other
election until 1911.

STATE CONSTABLES.

We notice in the Grccnvillc New
an interview with Hon. IT. p. Goth
ran, one of the authors Of the loca
option bill recently enacted by thu
legislature. Hc gives brief synop
sis Of the main provisions Of the law
The readers of The Herald and News
will find the law in full in this issue
of the paper. The last paragraph of
Mr.. Cothran's s interview is the one to
which we desire to refer in this con-
nection. 1t reads as follows: "rhe
enforcement Of the law is left TO the
governor. IF the counties and city
authorities fail, my construction of
the law is that the constabulary sys-
TEN provided by the act Of 1905 has
not been interfcrcd with. | should
hate very much to see it disturbed, as
do not think the law can be etfec-
lively enforced without having a
force especially charged with its en-
forccment.'
The act creating the Office of chief
state constable and providing for the
management of the state conStabulary
was passed in 1903, and we agree
with Mr.. totlran that we lo not
think that the local option bill. which
NaS passed ut the recent session of
the legislature, repealed that act, but

such fund as here described. we du

their pay in the local option bill of

constable, that their services will nc

think that he construcs the law a:

along with the state dispcnsary.
Section 80 Of the local option law
reads as follows:
"Sec. 3S. It shall shall be the duty
of thc shcriifs and their deputies
magistrates. constablcs, rural police
city and town officials. to enforce the
provisions of this act. If they fai

of the governor to enforce the same

A Difference.

has been living in that part OF
tie state over 10 years, brought
in Yesterday two carloads of cat
tie, says a Kansas City paper.
In that part of the state. accord
ing to MIR. House. the country is
lightly stocked. while the grass
is abundant. He says that the
taking up of SO much land by
strangers going in. has cut up
the range and caused reduction
in cattle. A great many OF these
new settlers have been trying dry
farming. and have been fairly sue
cessful. But ! doubt whether
dry farming will ever become
successful" said Mr.. House. "1n
favorable seasons it will work
all right. but when the weather
is not right it will fail. Most OF
these new beginners have been
experimenting with forage crops.
with Just little wheat raising.
There is a wonderful contrast be-
tween farms without irrigation,
and the irrigated farms. lrrigat-
ed farms sell all the way from
SIoo to double that amount.
while the farms not irrigated
are not worth more than SIS to

is the same. but it is the water
that adds the value. The sugar

Excursion to Summit of Mt.
Mcclellan August 26th.

Holly people. who 60 on 'he
excursion to Denver will have an
opportunity on Monday, August
Goth. to make the marvellous trip
to the summit of Mt. Mcclellan.
This wonderful trip, which in
cludes the famous Georgetown
loop, is fast becoming the mecca
for the many thousands OF tour
lists visiting Colorado, and is
pronounced by most competent
judges to be the greatest one
day scenic trip in the world. The
natural ice palace, thru which
passengers are taken free OF
charge, excels in beauty the gla-
cier caves of Switzerland, while
The Stairway to the Clouds, the
only place in the world where
one may see seven railway tracks
one above another, is conceded
to be one of the scenic marvels
of the age. From the summit Of
Mt. Mcclellan the range OF vision
is SO great that one may clearly
see the Angora range of noun
tains far out on the Utah line,
and the Big Horn range in Wyo-
ming, while Pixies Peak to the
south, and the lake dotted plains
far east of Denver are visible.
Mt. Mcclellan is also famous on
account of being the highest
point in the world reached by any
regular railway.
The special excursion train will
leave Denver union depot at 500
a. M, returning at 6:I5 p. M,
leaving ample time in which 20
get supper and catch Santa Fe
train, which leaves Denver at 8
p. M. A special rate Of $3.50 for
the round trip from Denver has
been made, and a large number
of the Santa Fe excursionists
will doubtless take advantage Of
the opportunity to make this "a
nous trip.
