NOT TO HAVE THE
SMOOTHEST SAILING
Breakers Loom Up Ahead For
The Two Cent Mileage.

A Jackson special of March
7, says;-Vice-prsesidentE E. L..
Russell of the Southern Railway
in Mississippi, has filed with the
railroad commission, through
Col. J. d. McInnis, general
agent, formal protest against
the two-cent interchangeable
mileage order, and requesting
that the attorney general be
asked for an official opinion con-
cerning the legality of the
order.
Col McInnis discussed the
matter at some length with the
commission, setting forth the
annual report of the Southern
Railway showing a deficit of
about 1924, 900 in the finances of
the company, comparing receipts
with disbursements for 1906.
he also seriously questioned
the legal right of the commission
to enforce it's order.
A protest in writing against
the two cent interchangeable
mileage order was submitted by
Vice-President Smith, of the
Louisville, & Nashville, intimat-
ing that the corporation will go
into the courts rather than obey
the ruling. 1t therefore appears
that the commission has some
troubles ahead. The matter was
taken under advisement, and a
decision will be reached before
the adjournment of the present
session. The remainder of the
day was devoted to routine mat
ters on the docket.

New Postcard Regulations

The users of postcards will be
glad to know that the Postoffice
Department has issued orders to
postmasters 10 allow the mailing
of these cards with one cent
stamp, written on both sides.
Many of these post cards have
one side almost entirely covered
by picture, and it is impossi-
BILE to write more than a line or
so on that side, but the new rul-
ing admits OF the address side
also being used for the written
message without additional pos
taoe.
