Railroads and newspapers through
out the country are interested in the
test case that the Interstate Com
merce Commission is preparing to
bring to determine IL 1t Is legal for a
railroad to give transportation in re-
turn for advertising, under the rul-
ing OF the commission that transpor-
tation must be paid in money. C. w.
Kretzinger, attorney for the Monon
railroad. has forced the issue by ad-
vising his company and others to ig-
more the commissions ruling and en-
ter into the regular advertising con-
tracts with newspapers and period
icals, paying for space in transporta-
ton. The Mobile Register under
stands that several of the roads In the
South are preparing to follow the
Monon example, in the belief that the
commission has no legal right to in
terfere In a business arrangement be-
tween a railroad company and a
newspaper, when such arrangement
has absolutely no influence on any
other provision of the act regulating
railroads. One OF the local compa-
nies OF Mobile, which withdrew all
passes, outside its own employees, has
given an order to printer for a suf-
ficient number of certificates to meet
the mutual business arrangement OF
exchanging advertising space for
transportation.

Two.cENr RATE LAW.
Perry County Court Says New sta
tute Is Confiscatory.


Harrisburg (SpeciaD.--Judge
Shull. OF the Perry County Court,
in an opinion unique in literary con-
struction, declares the Pennsylvania
two-cent rate law unconstitutional
and void In Its application to the
Susquehanna River & Western Rail-
road Company, which connects Dun
cannon and Bloomfield Junction.
The law, he declares in his de-
cree, is In derogation of both the
United States and the Pennsylvania
Constitutions.
Judge Shull quotes figures OF the
Company's earnings to show that the
enforcement of the rate ordained by
the last Legislature would be confis-
catory and would result in loss Of
earnings. He adds:
This result the from actual figures
is easily comprehended. 1t requires
but limited mathematical knowledge
to attain solution, and the time
would not be remote when again
would be posted the Sheriff's sale
bills, the figures Of mans hand
would write upon the plaster of the
wall, like that in the palace of the
King when Belshazzar, greatly trou-
bled and his countenance changed in
| him,-Tekel.
Would Rob Bondhoiders.
ITO compel compliance with the
mandates Of this statute by the plain
tiff compang means robbing the bond
| holders of their securities, in which
they placed their money at a reason
able rate of interest In good faith
deprive the community of the facili-
ties for transportation of freight and
passengers, which they now enjoy
and confiscate the property and fran
chise of the stockholders. And for
what Purpose?
Simply to obey the caprice OF O
Legislature, many of whose members
without rhyme or reason, facts or
fgures, information or reputation,
pledged to perform the act in the
name of reform.
1--WE might say of reform as was
said by Madam Roland of liberty, in
the days of the French Revolution:
oh, liberty, liberty, how many crimes
are committed In thy name?'
Reform is a virtue OF lofty attri-
butes, but 1t comes In the voice, AS
ye would that men should do unto
you, do ye even so to Them and is
not in black and blightlng thunder
GUS clouds of destruction, havoc and
confiscation.
Regulation Is Remedy.
Where it is shown in the language
of the constitution that charter rights
are found to be injurious to the
citizens of the Commonwealth, let
the law be asserted, the power
abridged, and conduct regulated by
a proper tribunal or the charter re-
voked.
I'm the case at bar, it is not even
asserted that any injury Is suffered
by the public, no citizen is heard tc
complain, while to throttle the opera
tions of the road, and relegate us tc
the stage coach and Conestoga Wagon
will bring injury, distress and dis
consolation"
The opinion was in the suit of the
Susquehanna River e. Western Rail
road Company and the Real Estate
Trust Company, of Philadelphia
which latter sued as well on behalf
of itself as on behalf of all Other
owners of first mortgage bonds oi
the railroad company, plaintiffs
against Perry County, defendant.
