to Write a New Bible

CHICAGO, May 9.-Willfam
Jennings Bryan, at the tercenten-
airy celebration of the King James
Bible, challenged atheists to- prove
the Bible merely human product
by writing a book of equal worth.
"They have been as bold as
the prophets of Baal In defying
the living God and in heaping
contempt on the written word, y
he said. when "a group OF
scorners Knocked, the Lord Elijah
invited them to match the power
of their god against the power OF
his.

their school-as many as they
please from every land. Let
them embody the fruit Of theil
best intelligence in a book and
offer it to the world as substi-
'tute for this Bible of ours"

BY JAMES MANAHAN

BY JAMES MANAHAN
If the Sanborn decision in the
Minnesota rate case Is sustained
by the supreme court, Minnesota,
as well as every other state, is
put out of business In its most
function-contro1 over
the taxation Of its people.
The highways are necessarily
public, and when a state creates
a corporation and gives it power
to operate highway of commerce,
it parts with its sovereignty to
that extent. The railroad becomes
the state, doing government work.
II exercises the right of eminent
domain and it collects taxes in the
form of rates. The state farms
out it's sovereignty to corporations
of its own creation, and this sover-
eighty is exercised for private
profit. To correct the abuse of
this system. the states have claim
ed the power to regulate freight
rates taxes. Commissions have
been established and legislatures
have passed laws fixing rates.
III LJVt Tic IdllIOdu duu
warehouse commission of Min
nesota made an order reducing
the merchandise rates. The leg
islature passed a 2-eent passen-
ger rates and a maximum COM
modify rate. The railroads agreed
to these reductions, but broke
faith by a series of suits COM
menced by their stockholders.
These suits were tried before a
referee and his findings were sus-
tanned by Judge Sanborn.
Judge SanbOrn holds that
the state has no right to reg
ulate the rates within its
borders, inasmuch as such
regulation necessarily fixes
the interstates rates to points
just beyond its borders. For
Practical purposes this con-
struction destroys the power
of the state efficiently to
regulate rates.
The court sanctions the rail-
roads methods of proving the
value of their plants, and thereby
makes it possible in every in
stance to prove confiscation by
Iexpert witnesses and flexible &C
Icountants, regardless of the cost
or physical value of the roads.

Congressman Denounces
Explorer Peary
four years

Congressman K. b. Macon. of Ark
ansas. took another whack at Capt.
Robert E. Peary, North Pole explor-
er, before leaving the Bellevue STRAIT
ford hotel today to witness the
launching of the Arkansas.
The congressman. who declares he
will carry his opposition to the bill
making Peary a rear admiral and in
creasing his pay. to the floor of the
house and fight IT there to a finish,
denounced the arctic explorer as a
"worse faker than Cook"
''It was rump meeting of the house
committee on naval affairs declar-
ed Congressman Macon, that voted
to advance Pcary to the rank OF rear
admiral and pay him $1,000 "A year
for his alleged exploit in discovering
the North Pole. There We're but 10 of
the 70 members OF the committeepre-
sent. and the vote stood nine to one
for the honor and higher pay for
Peary. In other words. but nine OF
the 10 membrs voted to put the stamp
of recognition upon Peary's exploit.
Congressman Roberts of Masschu-
setts was the one memb ber of the house
present who voted against the prop
osition. and he will join me in the
opposition upon the floor of the house
when the bill comes up before the
house eforconsideration and passage.
"Peary, in my estimation" said
Congressman Macon, lis a pretentious
fraud and theirs is no reason why
congress should place the stamp of
recognition upon his fake discovery"
