RATE MAKING Is ENJ0INED
Permanent Injunction Issued Against
Commerce Commission.

Chicago. - Manufacturers and pro.
ducers generally of the territory lying
between Buffalo, Pittsburg and Parkers'
burg on the east and the Mississippi
river on the west are regarded as the
greatest beneficiaries by the majority de.
cision of the United States circuit court
here Tuesday permanently en~joining the
interstate commerce commission from
enforcing it's seaboard- Missouri river
through rate in the famous Missouri
river rate case.
The opinion of Judges Grosscup and
kohlsaat Judge Baker d~issenting), if
sustained by the supreme court of the
United States, will greatly, curtail the
power of the commission over trans
portatiOn rates, restricting it to a sort
of police court adjudication of specific
cases of alleged discrimination. The rate
making power remains in the hands of
the railroads.
This case and the Missouri river case
are similar in principle, the Denver case
concerning the commissions order of a
new and reduced through rate between
Chicago and st. Louis to Denver.
The commissions order of June "a,
1908, reduced the rate on first-class
freight from the seaboard least of Buffa-
10, Pittsburg and Parkersburg) to Mis-
souri, river points from $1.4S to $1.39.
This order was issued upon representa-
tion of the Missouri river interests, man
ufacturers and jobbers chiefly that the
sea1ard rate of $1.15 TO Minneapolis
and st. Paul was a discrimination
against them. inasmuch as the twin
cities, using the cheaper water rate of
the mississippi river, were able to under
sell them in their own territory on arti-
cles coming originally from the seaboard.

Repair the Shell Roads.
&. NJ. TATAIAN

The shell roads leading from Milford
need attention from Harry Reed, the
Levy COurtmsn in charge. A few
loads Of shells placed in the broken
spots this month will save several
hundreds Of dollars in repairs, if they
are neglected until September. The
people selected Mr.. Reed to look after
their business for them, snd he must
either make good or be censured. The
best way is to make early and quick
repairs to the roads.
