RATE COMMISSION
VIEW SUSTAINED
JUDGE STEVENS oVERRuLED BY
SUPREME COURT ON
800" CASE.
Madison, Oct. ..


The decision of the supreme court
rendered yesterday in the 500" case,
is of inestimable Importance to the
state, establishing the validity of the
law taxing increases Of capitalization
by corporations. The 500" road by
its directors decided to increase its
capital stock from q to AZ millions.
Later application was made to the
state railroad commission for a GER
tificate of authority under the rail
road commission law to issue four
millions of the increase of 81 millions
Of stock. The commission, upon the
instigation CT Commissioner ]. H..
Roemer, investigated and found that
the company had not filed with the
secretary of state an amendment to
its articles of incorporation covering
the increase of stock, as required by
another statute.
The commission thereupon refused
TO issue the certificate for four mil
lion issue of stock, until the company
should file the proper amendment and
pay the fee of s21.010 covering the
81 million increase. The railroad re-
fused to comply and brought man
damus proceedings to compel the
commission to issue the certificate.
Judge Stevens in the circuit court at
Madison agreed with the contention
of the company against Attorney Gen
eral Gilbert and the railroad commits
sion and issued the writ of mandam-
US. Attorney General Gilbert, con-
tinuing to sustain the commission,
carried the case 10 Ire supreme
court and in q decision written by
Justice Marshall, JEJ2e Stevens is
overruled and the contention of the
commission and the attorney general
sustained.
Had the decision of Judge Stevens
stood on appeal, ii would have meant
not only the loss of the s21,010 in
volved in the 800" case, but loss OF
fees on future increases of corporate
stocks, and probably suits to recover
mast payments would have been
brought against the state.

PRIOR FEDERAL STATUTE
TAKES PRECEDENCE.
ATTORNEY GENERAL GILBERT
WARNED LEGISLATORS THE
ACT WOULD FALL.
Madison. Oct. 2.

MduASOAI OGl' :.
The supreme court yesterday hand
ed down decisions In two important
railroad c"ses, the Wisconsin S-hour
law for telegraphers being declared
invalid and the law requiring the
payment of fees for increase OF capt
tai stock by railroads being upheld
as viewed by the railroad commission
and Attorney General Gilbert
The eight-hour law was passed by
the last legislature and bore the
name of the Elyer bill because it
was introduced and fought for by AS
semblyman E. T. Elyer of Madison
When it was being discussed in the
legislature. Attorney General Gilbert
upon being requested for an opinion
held that the law would be unconsti
tutional in view of the fact that the
federal government already had an
act on the same subject that was
clearly constitutional and with which
the proposed Wisconsin statute would
come into conflict. However, Mr..
EiNel md his followers in favor of
restricting the hours of telegraphers
insisted that the attorney general
was wrong and the bill went through
and was signed by the governor. The
Milwaukee & s.. Paul road brought
"a test case on the arrest and filming
of $1,000 of Operator McGrath of
Milwaukee The law was sustained
in the lower court and the supreme
court, upon appeal, reverses the judg-
ment and orders that the defendant
be discharged. The opinion was writ
ten by Justice Dodge. He holds that
such law would be no interference
by the state with interstate com
merce. and also holds that the feder
al act was within the powers of con
gress relating to the regulation of in
terstate commerce, but in view of the
fact that the congress has already
placed the nine-hour on the federal
statute books, this state enactment,
being inconsistent with the federal
Law. must fall

Lanham consented to another cere'

Tuberculosis in Children.

The Primary Localization of Tuber-
culosis in Children was the subject
presented by DR.. Woods Hutchinson
of New York who declared that the
frequency of pulmonary tuberculosis
in children is much greater than was
formerly supposed Second. that the
lung is the most frequent site of tn.
bercular involvement in children. as
in adults. Third, that whatever the
port of entry, the lung suffers most
severely and most frequently Fourth
that instead Of tuberculosis having q
special preference for the bones
joints and glands in childhood the
tubercular process of these regions
and tissues would appear TO be sec
oudary to the inducements of the
lung and to present a residual stage
OF a generalized infection Fifth. that
ii would appear probable that even
the glandular forms of tuberculosis
did not represent an earlier or mildeI
form of the infection. but are second
airy to a pulmonary involvement
Sixth the moderate but appreciablt
degree of immunity against pulmon

ticular or glanular forms of the dis
ease is possibly to be interpreted OF

Economic Loss.

the number of deaths in New York
state from tuberculosis was 1850.
one-hinth of the number from all
causes. But of all who died between
the ages of Is and 80, more than
three-tenths died of tuberculosis. The
economic loss Is greatly Increased by
the fact that tuberculosis is the only
leading disease which prefers the
the most valuable lives in the com
munity, the young ADULTS. The loss
consists mainly of two elements; on
VIZ OA1 manu- liz GNCN Vi the hlGklSSS
and the less of earnings between the
beginning of the disease and the
death. and on the other the loss of
earning power during the working
years that the patient would probably
have lived had he escaped the dis
ease. After a critical examinat on Of
the evidence the former is estimated
as at least S11,200,000 and the latter
as at least $50, 100000. The farmers
of the state lose at least $1,500,000
year from the reduction In the value
of their cattle through bovine tubercu-
losis. The minimum net loss to the
state of New York from tuberculosis
may be estimated at $65,000000 each
