ers" should receive the vote of every vot-
or at the coming primaries, without re-
gard to party. The amendment was
submitted by the last Legislature by the
votes Of members Of all political parties.
and is now being supported by the lead
ers OF all psrties-men who haye investi-
gated the question and know the neces-
sity for it's adoption. The proposed
amendment was endorsed by the Re-
publican and Peoples Independent part
les in their state conventions last spring
and has just been endorsed by the ex-
ecutive committee of the Democratic
State Committee, after q careful consi-
sideration and full discussion of the
question with macy influential men in
that party.
Thst the measure is non-psrtissn and
should receive the support of every vot-
er in the state il further established by
the following statement signed by the
Chairmen Of the State Committees OF
the three great political parties OF the
state. viz
I'm our judgment the proposed con-
stitutional amendment increasing the
number Of judges Of the Supreme Court,
which 10 to be voted on ut the coming
primaries, 10 step in the right direction.
This amendment, il adopted, will enable
the Court to hear and decide all cases
without the assistance Of Commissioners.
The substitution of four judges for six
commissioners will not only give the
state better working court. but will be
= great saving OF expense to litigants in
that court, and hence, . great benefit to
the people OF the state. We hope that
every voter Of our respective parties will
vote for it ct the coming primaries.

MED Petition of Railroads

to-day OF the formal decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to the application made
by railroads for extension Of tiu1s In which
TO comply with act of Congress at many sta
tons covered by the thirteen-hour provision and
at nearly two-thirds IN the aggregate Of the sta
tons on the lines of the applicants to which the
nine-hour provision relates. The petitions alleged
In some cases inability TO obtain the additional
force required. and in the financial
hardship which the compliance imposes An order
was entered by the commission denying the petit
tons in all cases.
II is held by the commission unanimously that
10 grant such wholesale orders of extension would
interfere in effect with the policy of legsla-
ton in its fundamental aspects and would amount
TO sn amendment Of the law by official body
charged with its administration. II was held fur
ther that TO grant an extension accoent of
financial distress would open the door 10 endless
uncertainties. because there is possible means
of deter mining the degree of financial distress
which would justify extension, and If finan-
cial hardship is, IN the language Of the law good
cause for postponing compliance, il equally
good cause for refusal TO pass the law.
