The Decision OF the Supreme Court OF
the State Of PeaansyTy ania.

The state OF Pennsylvania Is the flrst
OF the commonwealths which enacted
two-cent fare laws last winter to have
the statute declared rod by the highest
court OF the Jurisdiction First the
court OF common pleas o. PHILADELPHIA
county pronounced the new law uncon-
stitutional. and now the supreme court
of the state has upheld that dects-
ion. This statute was enacted by a
practically unanimous vote In both
in response to the overwhelming SEN
timent in favor of railroad rate reduc-
ton which swept over the country and
found expression In similar enact
ments in a large number OF states The
Pennsylvania courts. upon closely ex-
amining the statute In its practical
workings, have found that the pre-
scribed maximum rate is unremuner-
ative TO the corporations
1t is believed in we'll informed cir
cles that much of the recent money
trouble was due directly 10 I e cpl
demic OF rate regulation which al k
ed the country shortly after congress
had enacted the federal rate law and
which shook public confidence in the
value of a long list of investment sc
curities. In but few OF the legislatures
was the subject carefully studied In
some cases the great properties of The
corporations were handled without re
gard for the most elementary princi-
pies OF transportation finance Little
regard was paid to the density Of the
population, the length Of hauls:, and
other factors which make tor or
against the reasCnableness Of prsscrib-
ed rates. The lawmakers were cbsess-
ed with the single idea that the rail-
roads were charging too much and
that they must be checked and discip-
lined
II the two-cent rate is confiscatory
and unconstitutional for that reason n
Pennsylvania, a state Of dense popula-
ton, short hauIs and comparatively In
expensive operation, the same rate III a
state like Texas must be doubly con-
f1scatory- The fact re- that rate fixing
by legislation, in the case of a great
transportation system, is a difficult
and complicated matter Doubtless
there are good grounds for the public
indignatiO against the roads. The
corporations have betn unwise in their
abuse CT the powers secured by them
in the early days of incorporation and
construction. The day Of rotri0ution
however came at time of intense pub
lie excitement and the reaction carried
too far.-WashiHgto Star.

SUCCO PLANT

BUILDING PRACTICALLY COM
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES En-
PECTED TODAY.
Fine Weather is Aiding Building
Operations for the Black Hills
Company.

Unless something unforeseen inter-
venes, another week or two will see
the plant OF the Black Hills Gypsum
Products Company in operation. The
buildings, with one or two minor en-
ceptions are practically completed,
and the concrete foundations for the
machinery were in place early this
week and the machinery Is expected
in town today so it is merely a ques-
tion Of installing it, before the plant
will be in position to turn out fin
ished products from the big vein of
pure gypsum owned by the company.
The boilers and fine 125-horsepower
engine are in place, the work of rails
ing the big smoke-stacks being COM
pleted this week.
The mill, when completed and in
running order, will be model of
its kind, containing the latest machin-
cry and appliances used in similar
lines Of manufacture. Its present ca
pacity will be 43 tons per ten hour
day, requiring an operating force of
| fifteen men and is so arranged that
| when the occasion demands It's ca
| pacity can easily be doubled and
quadrupled If necessary.
Commanding a magnificent view OF
the surrounding country, the plant
is located about two miles up the
main line of the Northwestern rail-
! road on the side of the hill contain
| ing the big gypsum vein which ex-
| tends back q distance of eighty rods.
A private spur has been constructed
to the mill by the railroad making 1t
possible to ship the products in car
load lots Of from two to five cars at
a time.
A commodious two-story building,
built substantially to Withstand the
jarring Of the heavy machinery IT
will contain, forms the principle
structure of the plant. 1t is planned
to feed the mineral direct to the
crushers by means Of a tram-way
running between the quarry and the
| mill, a distance Of but few feet.
The burr wheel and cooking kettle
are to be located in the same room
with the crushing device, and above
them on the second floor will be the
mixer, elevators carrying the material
from one to the other A machine
to sack the finished product also
forms part Of the equipment; in
fact, every modern device found In
an up-to-date stucco mill will be in
stalled in the local plant.

President-W. H. Davis.
Vice President and Supt.- w. II
Stewart.
Secretary-Fred Adams.
Mr.. Stewart is now actively en-
gagged in directing the erection of the
mill.
