RAILROADS LOSE.
Advance in Glass Freight
Rates Is Disapproved.
Roads Ordered 10 Restore Old
Rates On or Before Mar. 10.
Advance In cIas ssification Territory
Was S27,000,000 a Year.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission decided against
the railroads in both the Eastern
and the Western" cases. The de.
cision eagerly awaited by roads and
Shippers alike, was handed down late
today. Proposed advances in freight
rates i'll official classification territory
aggregating among all the railways
in the territory approximately ST.
100000 a year We're disapprovcd by
the committee. In the case involving
the increase by the railroads in West
ern trunk lire territory. the commits
sion also declined to approve the pro-
posed advances III commodity rates.
The carriers in both cases are re-
qucsted to cancel on or before March
~ their advanced tariffs and restore
their former rates. which are the
rates how in effect. If this require
mcnt be not complied with, the COM
mission will issue formal order sus-
pending the proposed advances and
putting into effect the existing rates
for Ut least two years.
In the case OF the Railroad Com
mission of Texas against the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, the
other carrier, known popularity as the
Southwestern Rate case, the commits
sion declined to disturb the commodity
rates or the first class rates com
planned Of The defendants are or
dered. however. to reduce the second
class rates, which were increased from
s1.2l to s129, to Sl.25. On the remain
ing classes the defendants are deqnred
10 restore the rates III effect before
the INCREASED rates were published.
In brief this is the disposition made
by the Interstate Commerce Commls-
sion of the most important cases ever
brought to its attention. In a sense
the decisions were in the nature of a
surprise to railroad officials and other
experts who had closely followed the
proceedings. y majority OF them be
lieved the commission would grant
some increase to the Western lines II
not to the Eastern.
After considering eXhauTlvely the
whole subject. however. the commits
sion could not see its way clear to
grant any advance in rates. although
it conceds that in the case of some of
the roads. an increased revenue IS
needed. In what is known as the
Eastern case, the commission was en-
barrassed by the admitted fact that
several of the lines III the territory
were paying good dividends upon eX-
iSt!ng rates, while other carriers in
the same territory We're barely able to
make both ends meet, a few of them
scarcely that.

Hon. William NJ. Pennell of Rruns
wick was the only one to apnear hc-
fore the committee on federa, ra,a.
tions IN favor of the resolution in
troduced by Representative Hogan of
Portland in favor of reciprocity vim
Canada. He regretted that there an
peared to be 50 little interest in the
passage of the resolutions. He said
that the reason Maine had grown
but 11ai per cent. in so years. while
the entire Nation had grown 200 pcr
cent. was because the State had NOT
had an equal chance with the other
states Of the Union. but was hammered
by unnatural trade relations and re-
strictions. He blamed the present
tariff system for the decline of Maine
shipbuilding and the present condi-
ton of her undeveloped water pow
ers and argued that the State would
begin to grow when Canada. the nat
ural market. was opened to Maine.
He admitted that there was opposi-
tion to the measure in Aroostook coun-
ty but he believed that it would aid
the farmers of that section instead
of injuring them by allowing them to
dispose of their surplus products in
Canada. 1t might also lead them to
see that there was more profit in di-
versitied than in specializing in potato
raising.
He also admitted that it might
for q time injure the lumber inter
ests but added that no class of peo'
pie had been so favored as the lum'
ber interests that had escaped the full
burden of taxation for many years

Health Lecturers Make
Tour Of Country Schools
With Good Results

Hitherto anti-tuberculosis education
has been confined almost entirely to
the cities and railroad towns A new
departure was inaugurated last week
Jointly by the State Association and
the State Board of Health which is
designed to educate the people in the
open country.
Mr.. A. K: Biakey representing the
state board Of health and Mr.. Easton
representing the state association have
just returned from q tour of Mower
and Swift cunties and speak highly of
the effectiveness of this kind of a cam
paign. Local parties interested fur
nished automobiles and all local ex-
penses. Each night two country school
houses were visited and lectures with
stereoptican and small exhibit held.
Townships WITHIN a radius of thirty
miles Of the county seat were visited.
Only one school house was selected in
each township. The lecturers were
greeted with full houses in almost
every case and it is very likely that
an appropriation by the county in each
OF these counties for a county visiting
nurse will be the result of the cam
palgn. 1t is planned IN the fall when
the farmers are not so busy to tour
other counties in this way and hold
afternoon meetings as we'll as evening
meetings, covering perhaps one half
dozen townships IN day. Parties in
terested in having such tour of their
own county made, will kindly COM
munlcate with either the state board
OF health or the state association.
