In Re Rutledge County.


Williamsburg. has assumed tangl-
BILE form, and now is the time
to speak or forever hold your
peace.
That the matter is a serious
one none will gainsay. The mere
statement of fact that $4,000
people are affected is enough to
give pause to precipitate thought
and headlong action and it is but
just and reasonable that the thing
be gone into carefully and thor
oughly, without bias of passion
or prejudice.
While this newspaper is oppos-
ed to the movement as unnecces-
sary and unwise, especially at
this time, our opposition is based
primarily upon the broad princi.
pie of greatest good to the great
est number, and in all that we
say We shall try to present our
argument in a spirit of fairness
and a decent respect for the
opinions of others who may see
fit to differ from our views. The
editor of this newspaper is cit.
izen and taxpayer of Williams
burg county and in sense a
public servant; therefore, he feels
that he would be recreant to his
duty did he, remain :silent when
this grave crisis is : confronting
us. In expressing our views,
however, due Difference will be
given to the proprieties of such
discussion. We deprecatc aerimo-
,nious personalities as vulgar and
,debasing without adding one iota
to the force of an argument.
Abuse and vituperation are not
: argument and to employ such
tactics is of itself confession of
weakness, indicating desire to
tecloud or evade the issue.
We want to be fair 20 all and
as this is matter that directly
concerns every individual in the
three counties to be sliced, we
invite a full and free discussion
of the new county question
through our columns, and prom
ise to publish lmpartially all con-
tributions germane to the subject,
whether or not the views express
ed coincide with our own.
There are many people interest
ed and necessarily there are va
rying opinions. Iu a multitude
of counsellors is wisdom and nev.
er before in our county's history,
in our judgment, have we stood
in greater need of wise counsel
the outcome of the best minds
among our people. The more we
have of intelligent discussion the
better Informed will be the arbi-
tiers of the destiny of county

ural advantages are just now in

Says the United States Court OF

Case.
GREAT FINE IS KNOCKED OUT
Three Judges Declare It To Be Prac-
tically Confscatory.
ISSUE MADE ALSO ON SHIPMENT
Higher Tribunal Says the Carload
Basis Was a Bad Error-Trial
budgets Given Something
of Roast.

Judge Landis' SenSa tiOnal 29,240,-
600 fine imposed on the Standard Oil
company of Indiana has been knocked
out by the federal court of appeals at
Chicago, and Judge Lands himself
indirectly criticised. In an opinion full
of dramatic language, reversing and
remanding the case for a new trial,
Judges Grosscup, Seaman and Baker
held that there was no evidence on
the records to justify such. an enor-
nous fine and supplemented this with
cutting queries aimed at the lower
tribunal If the fine were justified, SO
the federal judges reason. then it
would be only because the man who In
ficted the fine was above the law.
Trust Is Tckled; Lands Surprised
Great joy spread through the Stand
ard Oil camp when the glad tidings
were sent broadcast through the city
and the country. Judge Lands himself
was surprised. District Attorney Sims
was not cast down and announced he
would pursue his efforts to bring the
Standard Oil company to bay ulti-
mately.
Reviewing Court Is Unanimous.
The opinion of the court was writ
ten by Judge Grosscup and concurred
in by his associates. It's principal
finding was on the score of excessive
punishment, which was the basis for
the criticism of Judge Lands. The
reviewing court ruled that from the
record of the case the assets of the de-
PENDANT company were not shown to
exceed 100000 and that facts out
side of the record contributed to the
decision to fix the fine at the enormous
amount imposed by Judge Lands. In
other words the reviewing court re-
fused to take Judge Landis' view that
the Indiana Standard Oil company was
tho Standard Oil company of New .Ier-
sey, holding that the company fined
was the Indiana concern and none
other.

POINTS FROM THE DECISION
Trial Judges Idea of a shipment"
Declared Wrong.

Of the salient points in the upper
court ruling upon which, its order was
based one of the most interesting is
the definition of a shipment Judge
Lands ruled that every carload in a
train containing nothing but oil was a
shipment" Of this the higher court
says that Judge Lands was wrong in
his view that the number of offenses
involved was the number of carloads
of property transported, regardless of
whether each carload constituted the
whole or a part only of a single trans
action resulting in shipment.
In discussing the size of the fine
against the Indiana Standard Oil COM
pany the court, ruling that the fine was
more than twenty-nine times the capi-
tal of the company sued, says: Would
a cab driver. convicted of violating the
city law against excessive cab fares,
be sentenced to pay fine that would
take his horse and cab and then leave
him bankrupt many times over? =
* Can a court, without abuse of jul
dicial discretion, wipe out all the prop
erty of the defendant before the court.
and all the assets to which it's creditors
look, in an effort to reach and punish
a person who is not before the court
a party that has not been convicted,
has not been tried, has not been indict
ell even? Can an American judge
without abuse of judicial discretion.
condemn any one who has not had his
day in court? That, to our mind, is
strange doctrine in Anglo-Saxon juris-
prudence
Other points against Judge Lands
were: That Judge Lands was wrong
in assuming that it was the business
of the Standard Oil company of IN
diana to make sure that the rates ten
dered it by the Alton railroad were the
lawfully published rates. This, It was
held, threw an unfair burden upon the
shipper, whoever he might be. and
tended to check rather than promote
industry
That the sentence was based on in
formation obtained by calling Rookie
Teller and other officials to the stand
after conviction, and the fine was in
f1icted on the Standard company Of
New Jersey, a corporation not on trial.
The court declares that the arraign-
ment of the violation of the interstate
commerce law was 70 be commended
and that the results of such violations
were not too strongly stated. 1t says,
however. that the interstate commerce
law is not the only one in the United
States and that it is because there are
others that the case is reversed and
remanded.
