IMPORTANT
|. C. c. Will Decide Reason
abIeneSS of Rate Before it
Goes Into Effect

Washington, D. c., July 27.-The
decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission today that it would con-
slider the reasonableness of the rate
on notice Of the increases by ship
pers and prior to their filing of pro-
tests, is regarded as of widespread
Importance. Following closely upon
the action of the shippers appealing
to the president to induce the COM
mission to take this course it is gen.
orally believed here that the sug-
gestion calling for the statement
comes from President Roosevelt.
Chairman Knapp said last Sunday
that the law contemplated an inves-
tigation Of the reasonableness Of
rates by the commission if they have
been effective, but he thought the
commission might decide that an
increase is effective after notice has
been gievn by the carrier, and be-
fore the new rate actually goes in
to effect. =,
The commission today takes that
view.
There is much interest in the de-
cision of Judge Speer of the South
ern judicial district of Georgia

In 1908 Judge Speer took the same

two cents per 100 pounds on yellow
pine by the Southern railroad and
southeastern carriers, to take effect
April 10, 1908, and which would
have come effective except for the
temporary Injunction granted by
Judge Speer April IA. On May II

mittee declaring that -+sle organiza-
ton in favor of Taft, said the party
approved of that action. Chairman
Williams of the executive commit.
tee followed with an exhortation to
earnest work during the campaign.
Governor Harris followed with en-
phasis "as to thorough organization
of Republicans" and Arthur Voreys
spoke for some minutes on the splen-
did ticket the state had to work for.
The party in really, he said, had
two tickets as an incentive, one Taft
and the other Harris. With the
United States and state organization
perfected he saw no reason why an
effective fight could not be waged.
Judge Taft's speech concluded the
meeting. 1t was received with en-
thusiasm. He said:

EVARTs, S. D.
IS NOW DEAD
Until Recently Great Cattle
Shipping Point is Now
Bare Prairie

Aberdeen, S. D., July 27.-The
town of Evarts, until few months
ago the biggest cattle shipping cen
ter in the country, will pass into
oblivion August 1. Not even a rail
road track will remain to mark the
place where millions of head of cat
tie have been cared for on their way
going east from the great plains to
the eastern markets.
When the Milwaukee road decided
to extend to the coast, one of the
worst obstacles to be overcome was
to find a. suitable site for a bridge
across the Missouri river. Finally
the engineers settled upon site
several miles north of Evarts which
has since grown into fourishing
town called Mobridge. 49,, j.
The railroad offered the people of
Eyarts any site they would select
in any of the new towns on the ex-
tension, and few months ago the
exodus from Evarts began. Build
ings were drawn across the prairie
to other towns, principally to Glen
ham and Mobridge, and in a few
days the Milwaukee will tear up it's
tracks leading into Evarts. That
will be the finish.

may well arouse our enthusiasm.
We follow and hope to keep an ad-
ministration than which there is
none which has done more for the
country, and there is none that
ought to call out more enthusiasm.
We have a state ticket which has
high character and has in this suf-
ficient to insure proper and COM

a candidate for governor whom we
are proud of and whom it is pleas
ure to follow.
eve are standing now together,
shoulder to shoulder, to meet our
common enemy and overcome him

Cincinnati, O., July 27.--Two im-33
portant events happened today in
the meeting and conference on final
notification day preparations. Today
William H. Taft addressed the Ohio
state central committee and execu-
tive committee, identifying himself
closely with the state campaign and
making it plain that whatever was
done by Arthur I. Voreys and other
state leaders would be recognized
and approved by him.
Just what is to be the status of
Foraker in the campaign at Youngs-
town September 5, is to be decided
by a special committee of the state
executive committees to consist of
Chairman Williams, A.. D. Alder
man of Marietta; G. E. Barr of Sar-
dina; Edgar A. Bowman of Canton;
John S. Fitch of Youngstown and
William T.. Francis OF Chicago, O.
The duty Of this committee is to de-
eide on the speakers program and
place and to report on the advisable
ity of inviting the senior senator OF
Ohio to make an address. It was
stated that the committee would
consider the Foraker matter in three
respects: Whether to invite the
senator to speak Internationally
to invite him on condition that he
indicate in advance the position he
| is to take, or not to invite him al
all. No prediction could be obtained
| as to which of the courses would be
pursued, or as to the probable re
port the committee would make. r..
The state central committee set
tied three county contests in favor
.of what is termed the Simon-Pure
Taft Men. Under the state law each
county committee certified an cleo
ton is in favor of Taft, said the party
| is doubt as to the validity Of certi

cided in favor of Erwin and agains

in favor Of Sitter and against AL
zell. The Vinton county contest wa
given to Coultrap instead Of Val
lenweider.

Washington, D. c., July 27.-Ac-
cording to a decision by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission today,
shippers may combine small quanti-
ties of freight Of various ownership,

plicable to a large shipment. 5
The interstate commerce law for
bids Discrimination between ship
pers and the fact that one shipper

up of property of various ownership

carrier, will not justify the carrier
in making different charge than
for a shipment Of similar size ten
dered by shipper who is also an
owner.
The commission bases It's opinion
principally upon the case Of Wight

court held that the phase under
