The Legal Department OF the Mon.
on railroad has made test case in
Chicago, Ill, and the Supreme Court
of the United States is to be asked to
pass upon the question whether rail-
road company can issue transporta.
ton in exchange for advertising In

view Of the case as held by the news.
papers, and the company,s attorneys
urge that the ruling of the Interstate
Commerce Commission denies the
freedom Of contract TO a particular
class. The rule. as universally stated
and upheld by the courts, is. what
the parties agreed, shall constitute the
payment, the law will adiudge to be
payment It is competent for parties
to designate by their contracts how
sid in what payment may. be made. It
lis by no means true that payment can
be only made in money; on the CON
trary, 1t may be made in property or
In services"
'The inhibition" they added,
against charging greater or less or
different compensation" relates alone
to difference in the Established
rate. and not to the manner Of max.
ing payment.
Now, in view of all this, this de-
partment feels that 1t is justified in
calling upon all newspapers and news
paper men to, personally and editorial.
,ly, call upon their representatives In
Congress to use every effort to secure
a favorable ruling, or an amendment
to the law.
In the meantime, 1t is hoped that
an early decision may be handed down
by the Supreme Court Of the United
States, In order that the matter be
definitely disposed Of. Whether or
not this desired change may be
brought about In time to benefit the
jamestown S Exposition, or can be
brought about at all, do not know;
but II by our efforts we are able to
benefit the press people of the Uni
ted States. we shall feel that we have
