enjoined from publishing its order for
a uniform two-cent rate.
The governor says that under
Judge Prltchard's injunction the com.
mission was prevented from perfect.
ing the third act necessary to fixing
the rate publication thereof, and
that thus there is no two-cent law in
Virginia today. Under the constitu.
ton, said Gov, Swanson, in order for
the commission to fix a rate It must
take three necessary steps, viz: give
notice to the transportation comma
MES to appear; second give a hear
ing and enter an order; third, publish
the order four weeks before it can
take effect.
The order of Judge Pritchard in
the Virginia case is outrageous" saws
Gov. Swanson. HE says the fixing of
a rate by the corporation commission
Is a legislative act and yet he re.

PIE WILL SOON BE A LUXURY.
Pure Food Law viii Raise Price Of

Washington.-The operations of the
federal pure food law are plainly going
TO add still further to the cost of
living in American homes How much
the increase will be can only be esti.
mated thus far.
The manufacturers whose products
and methods will require to be
changed in order to comply with new
regulations can only guess at the ex.
pense of the changes But speaking
broadly, the use of preservatives and
coloring matter has made 1t possible
to sell many staple articles to the
public for less money than they can
be sold for when these are not used.
Take the single list of canned fruits
and vegetables, pickles, preserves,
jams, jelies, catchups and the like
Coloring and preserving matters are
used in these. Some manufacturers
claim to produce them without pre-
servatives, but the housewife who
wants to know how much is saved by
the privilege of using these things

OUR SOLDIERS ARE POORLY PAID

Canada, Cuba and Some Other Nation,
Pay Their Troops More than Doe,
Uncle Sam.
Washington, July 29.--lt has been
assumed that Uncle Sans soldiers
were by far the best paid in the world
and that belief has in large part been
the cause of the failure of attempts
made In the past to secure increases
In pay for our own soldiers. But now
in connection with the preparations
that are being made to lay the subject
OF something wrong with the army"
before congress at the next session, II
has been discovered that this belief is
founded in error and that several ma.
tions are much more liberal in the
treatment of their soldlery than is the
United States.
This fact Will be brought to the at.
tention of congress in connection with
the subject of a general increase in
salaries OF both army and navy. Copies
of recruiting pamphlets, circulated in
Canada, make strong showing on
this point A Canadian sergeant for
instance, enters upon his service with
a wage Of 81 per day. which increases
according to the provisions of the
longevity law to slips. The American
sergeant gets SIS month at first, and
his expenses are larger than the Cana.
dian non.commissioned officer because
of the considerable differences in the
scale of living and the lower tariff
rate upon the necessities of life in
Canada, The same difference OF wage
runs through all of the grades of the
two armies.
Even Cuba pays her soldiers three
times as much as the American priv.
ate. The Cuban rural guard gets the
pay of New York policeman. Other
countries than these two exceed Amer.
lea in the pay allowed their soldiers
and the data is being gotten together
to make up a strong case to demon
strate to congress that the real reason
Tor the number of desertions from the
American army is not dissatisfaction
with the hard work or dislike for some
particular officer, nor even the lack of
a we'll regulated canteen, but the small
wage paid to the soldier compared
with the compensation in civil life. II
Will be shown to congress that the
present scale was fixed by law more
than 90 years ago.

School Boards Side.

The matter of the kick being reg
istered by the colored population of
the city will in all probability be
thrashed out by the school board at
meeting of that body to be held
Saturday afternoon.
The members of the board We're
somewhat surprised at the action the
colored people took in the matter,
from the fact that It had never been
shown them that there was a serious
objection to the place.
one member OF the board in speak.
ing today said: The board has been
trying to please the negroes of Ard
more for some time in school matters
but # seems they cant be pleased.
Every time colored teacher is ap-
pointed. the negroes either present a
petition against or for him. The sec
retary OF the board now has hundreds
OF petitions and objections filed by
the negroes concerning school mat
ters" Continuing the speaker said
the pace selected was the one form
erly used as school site by the ne
groes. II was in pretty shady loca-
n, and the board had made the
selection, after IA committee of four
had thoroughly investigated the mat.
ter. The board feels that 1t has done
it's duty by the negroes OF the city,
in giving them an opportunity to at
tend school. The place purchased
was the only one that the board was
able TO buy at the time. IL Is the
intention OF the board to have the
building located >on the site selected,
and II the negroes want to get out an
injunction. they can take their chances
on getting a school. These were the
sentiments OF the members of the
board who were approached today.
When the fact Is taken under con-
sideration that the negroes OF Ard
more do not pay more than $3.50
school tax each year, and that to
maintain their schools II takes several
times that amount the board feels
that. when the best site they can
purchase with the available money
had been secured 1t should do for the
present.
However, the board desires to have
every point in the matter brought out.
To secure the proposed injunction
II will be necessary oappear before
Judgs Dickerson OF Chickasha, on
account of the absence OF Judge
Townsend.
