MISSOURI CASE
DOES NOT BEAR
ON SOUTH DAKOTA
Attorney General Clarke Points
Out Local Features of All
Rate Gases.

Redheld, $. D., March l3-"The de-
cision by Judge Smith Mcpherson in
the Missouri 2-cent fare case neither
cent fare laws in other states Of the
middle west nor creates a precedent
for them" declared Attorney General
s. w. Clarke, Of South Dakota, when
asked for Il statement concerning the
decision against Missouri's reduced pas
senger rate.
The 2-cent fare case Is truly "A local
ISSUE he went on. Just as condi-
'tions are alike in no two states, no
two cases involving the constitutional
ity OF the 2-cent fare are alike.
ut liz easily possible that q 2-ceut
rate would not be sufficiently remuner-
alive in Missouri, but would be In South
Dakota. The mere fact that Missouri
has five or six times the population
of South Dakota Is not material. IL is
quite possible that, in proportion to the
population, there is a larger railroad
mileage in Missouri than I'm South Da-
kota. Again, it may be that a larger
amount of travelling is done by South
Dakota people. Again, it is probably
true that In Missouri, where there are
more railroads and therefore there Is
more competition, it is necessary to run
more expensive trains. Furthermore, it
may be that, because of competition,
trains are run more frequently in Mis-
souri, than In South Dakota, in respect
to the patronage. meaning larger pas
senger train loads i'm this state, and,
therefore, a lower proportion OF operat-
Ing expenses. All these elements enter
into the question and SO IT Is that each
state must have It's W case adjudi-
Gated before 1t can know what rate its
people are entitled to have.
zone of the questions that arises, In
the consideration of the constitutional
ity OF a 2-cent fare is the allowance to
be made for interstate business. One
theory is that a passenger ticket from
Sioux City to Aberdeen should not be
taken into consideration, because the
trip ts begun six miles outside of the
state. 1t is the claim Of the state, of
course, that the South Dakota propor
ton Of Interstate business should be
included in the railroad income. 1t is
not clear TO me from Judge McPher-
sons opinion, or the newspaper reports
of it, just how he disposed of this ques-
ton. The courts have held both ways
on 1t.
I'VE are not a bit discouraged In our
case by the Mcpherson opinion, but we
will press the states right to a 2-cent
fare just as vigorously as ever before
Judge Garland. No new principle has
been laid down by Judge Mcpherson
and If he had found the rate valid, it
would have had no significance in South
Dakota"

TORNADO KILLS NEGROES
IN GEORGIA; TOTAL LOSS
WILL REACH 100000

Cuthbert, Ca. March 12.-Half a doz-
en- negroes were killed here by the tor
nado last night and a dozen business
buildings were destroyed. The tornado
also damaged many other buildings.
Several white persons were injured, but
so far as known none seriously.
A revival meeting was In progress.
The tornado passed some distance
from the church, whose occupants mis-
took the storms roar for thunder and
remained at the service throughout the
passage OF the "twister.' Later many
wofshipers went home under clearing
skies to find their homes or those OF
their friends In~inhabitable in some
cases, with here and there a house
pulled TO pieces almost completely.
Most of the destruction was confined
TO the negro quarters. The total loss
will probably reach $100, 600.
