The railroad insisted it received full

In passing upon the question OF com

"The question as to the value o

rates. 1t canno. be said that the evil
dence is conclusive or even convinc-
ing on this point.
Raises Some Questions.
IF it is taken at its cash value, why
should the transportation be limited
as specified in the contract?
IF the magazine is paying $500 TO
the defendant why does it accept
transportation both of less and differ
ent value than it would accep- il ii
bought its tickets with money? 1t
seems fair, to conclude that either the
advertising is of less than cash value
or the advertisers are greatly imposed
upon by the railroads.
Is Good Immediately.
After citing several decisions ren
dered in somewhat similar cases, the
judge says: 1T will be noted the
contract does not require that adver-
tising must be enforced before trans
pcrtation is given.
There is no restriction upon the
advertiser to call for his railroad
tickets only so far as earned. In the
mere matter of interest the rates
would be less and different from thai
which is published
There is no mistaking trend of law
making and constituting powers. Every
new step is tending toward the most
rigid enforcement of the rule that re
quires equality in the matter OF loss
Meant to he Explicit.
| When by the Hepburn act the word
different was added TO words

sumo congress intended 10 make the
law more explicit and more difficuH
