STATE TO STAAD PAT
ON RAILROAD RATE CASE
Virginia Will Ws.s :or Railroads to
Take First Step Anent Two
Cent Fare

RICHMOND. VA. Jan. $50
long as there Is no move made by
tn railroads Of the state in The two
cent rate case the state will sit at
ease and make no move whatever.
This was the statement made today
by various state officials and by law
yCrs who are not Identified with tn"
issue in any way. They say that
the contract which the state has will
stand until there is some develop
mcnt-either Of an order from the
state corporation commission Or the
courts
The supreme court of the United
States knocked Judge prichard OFT
of the l.)x." according to the express
siCns heard tclay by reversing his
decree. That decree has been re-
crived Nv the officers of he state
and BY the counsel engaged in the
controversy.
1t Is impossible Of course to de-
termine what the next step will be
but one thing is certain: Until the
road; either go TO the federal courts
or to the commission the state will
sit still in the middle CT the boat
and the people will continue 10 ride
At two cents mile and as long a
that condition OF affairs exists there
Is no need for any action on the part
OF the state. The contract made be-
tween the state and the carriers was
made in good faith and is being rig
idly observed On the part OF the roads
Efforts were made yesterday aft.
ernOt to get statements from both
I,,J Drontic oh 90
pOration commission. and The attor-
ney general hut they declared that
they had nothing TO say in connec-
ton with the matter. When askel
for statement today Attorney Gen
eral Anderson said that there was
no occasion for him to say word,
AMI reQue sted to be excused from
discussing the matter in any wav.
He is net worrying over the cOndi-
ton NJ the contest II enc can judge
frCm his manner.
As to New Order.
SD far the roads have made 10
answer Of their intention to ask the
commission to hear the matter of
granting an increase in the passen,
Ser rates. There has been from time
to time an intima;iCn that thing OF
the sort was in contemplation. "
there is any such idea the counsel
are keeping the details to themselves:
, cni not in the hands of the press
, sgents IL there Is auv such thing
rcnnec;eh with the railroads.
BuI until there Is some PROPOSE
ton made to have the prevailing
rates annulled in the courts or there
is an order from he cOmmissicn eS-
Publishing a new rate the two cent
rate will obtain and the people Of
the state can ride AZ will paving two

line will adjust the matter.

TWO CENT aArE SITUATION.

Commenting upon the recent u"cis-
ion handed down by the Virginia ST.
ureme Court In the 2-cent fare case.
the Richmond Dispatch SAYS:
"The State, protected as 1t Is

The causes have once been taken to
the Supreme Court OF the United
States and q decision upon said
causes" was handed down from that
bench. 1t Is true that the opinion
was unsatisfactory to the State and
left the whole mater hanging in n"

The Supreme Court OF the United

thear cause to The United States ~
cit Court. At the time this con-
teapt for the hi&hes; Virginia ;ribu-

Attorneys for these corporations were
sperfecily cognizant Of the time limit

sci for one OF rhr great systems had

that act OF omission surrendered

tiers that the railroads are anxious

In his pgeachment on loyalty Ell
bert Hubbard has this to say: "If
you work for a man. in Heavens
name work for him. If he pays you
wages that supply your bread and
butter, work for him.; speak we'll of
him, stand by him and stand by the
institution he represents. If put to
q pinch. an ounce of loyalty is worth
a pound of cleverness. If you must
Willy, condemn and eternally dis
parage, why, resign your position,
and when you are outside, damn him
to your hearts content. But as long
as you are a part of the institution,
do not condemn it. If you do, you
are loosening the tendrils that hold
you in the institution, and the first
high wind that comes along you will
be uprooted and blown away and
probably you will never know Why"

Blessed is the man who sticks to

Blessed is the man who hangs

full knowledge of the way the work
must be done.
Blessed is the man who puts his
whole heart into his task, for at the

Blessed is the man who is not
ashamed of dirt, CRIME and labor

clean will be the money in his pay

Blessed is the man who maketh
the work at his hand a stepping
stone to better things, for under

will come energy to rise to the high

Blessed is the man who, through
patience and industry, comes to the
