Railroads Win First Round of Battle
Against Two-cent Rates.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept 11.--Judges
Wilson and Audenried in common
pleas court Tuesday declared uncu A.
stitutional the 2-cent railroad fare
law passed by the last legislature.
The case will be at once taken to the
state supreme court
The 2-cent fare law was enacted by
the legislature as a result of agita-
ton during the last political cam
paign, all parties pledging themselves
in favor of such legislation. The rail
roads, led by the Pennsylvania and
Reading, made a strong fight against
the enactment, but both branches OF
the legislature passed the bill by prac.
tically unanimous vote. The act
was to go into effect October 1.
Victory for the Penn.
The Pennsylvania was the first to
attack its validity, bringing suit in
the local courts to restrain the county
Of Philadelphia from collecting fines
for violating its provisions.
The hearing lasted nearly a week,
and among the witnesses were Prest

presidents of the Pennsylvania rail.
road. The contention of the company
was that the law was not constitution.
al and that the 2-cent rate was fixed
without any investigation on the part
of the legislature as to whether the
railroads could make fair profit un.
der the law, which, the company as.
serts, it cannot do.
All other railroads operating in
Pennsylvania have brought similar
proceedings in various counties Of the
state, but no decisions have been rem.

ECONOMY IN ADVERTISING.

The Waverly Iowa Dem 5crat, as
reported in The Fourth Estate,
quotes the following statement of
leading Des Moines merchant as to
the economy of advertising in news
papers, showins a new aspect of
profit that we have not seen sug-
gested before and which might be
advantageously pondered by those
who are charged about using print
ers' ink. This merchant, speaking
from his experience, says:
They pay in two ways. They
bring customers to our store, and
they keep down our expenses for
clerk hire fully one-ha1f, for the ads
make it possible for one clerk to do
the work of two. They prime the
customers with the information
that they would otherwise have to
get from the clerk at the expense of
his time. Having read our an
nouncements, in four cases out of
five, a customer comes into our store
knowing inst what he wants and
just what he will have to pay, and
all the clerk has to do is to produce
/ the goods and get the money for
for them. In store that advertises
properly there are very few people
who come in just to look around,
and asa consequence business moves
easily and brisklysp
