ace to the blank says: I'm view of
the present public discussion relative
to the needs of creating a public utiI-

the general control of the railroads in

some expression to the subject on the
blank form attached hereunder This

be received we will consider that you
are not favorable to the laws outlined
by the questions submitted
The questions proposed to legisla-
tive candidates read as follows:
VIII you favor q bill establishing a.
court Of commerce or a bill creating
q public utility commission and if so
what are your reasons for favoring
one over the other?''
The document also propounds a long
series Of other questions to both can
didates to congress and state legisia
lures, one of which says that the rail-
way organizations are opposed to
compulsory arbitration and favor vol
untary arbitration and ask the candi-
date what are his views upon the

KENTUCKY RAILROAD CASE
IN CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS.
Existence of the Railroad Commission
Of That State Involved.

Cincinnati, Nov. "a case that in
wolves the existence of the railroad
commission of Kentucky and the valid
ity of similar. bodies in other states
was heard today by the federal circuit
court of appeals in Covington, Ky.
It is the contention of the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad company that
the declaration that a rate is unreason-
able Is a judicial function, and as the
railroad commission is not a court it's
existence is unconstitutional and itr
acts void.
A few months ago. when the Louis
Vile and Nashville railroad raised rates
on distillers supplies within Kentucky.
several distilling companies appealed
to the railroad commission. with the
result that the former rate was re-
stored.
The railroad invoked the power of
the federal court and obtained a tenn
porary injunction. The present pro-
ceedings will make that injunction per-
manent or dissolve it.
