ASKS FOR THREE CENT FARE
WashingtOn-SOuthern Line Presents
Its Contention Before Supreme
Courf

w oohihbtOh-oOulhcih bihC Aeocuto
Its Contention Before Supreme
Court.
I'VE had rather haul Virginians
free to points within this State than
TO have our basic passenger rate re-
duced to 2 IL cents per mile" said
Hill Carter, attorney for Washing
ton-SOuthern Railway closing his ar
gument for a Scent rate before the
Supreme Court Of Appeals in Rich
mond. The record shows, said Mr..
Carter. that the company is carrying
people for a great deal less than
this sum, and is ready to grant
low round-trlp rates, but it fears
the loss OF hundreds OF thousands
Of dollars in the event its through
rate is cut by the Interstate Com
mefce Commission.
This case, the first to be heard
at the term of the Supreme Court,
is an appeal from a decision OF the
State Corporation Commission. Th
Washington-Southern, the northern
portion OF the Richmond-Washingto
line, asked the commission for per-
mission to increase its intra-state
passenger rate to 3 cents per mile.
When the railroads, more than a
year ago. made application for
Scent rate, the commission granted
It the same privilege as enjoyed by
the other roads-to charge > IL
cents. With this it was not salts
fled, taking an appeal.
Assistant Attorney-General X. b.
Davis made the argument for the
Commonwealth. He said that the
difference between the rate allowed
by the commission and that asked
for by the road, which is IL cent
per mile. would only net about $16,
600 year TO the road, for it APP
plies, of course, on intrastate jour
neys alone. Mr. Davis did not
think the company's method Of cal
culating its pro rata expenses, by
which it endeayors to show that
its purely interstate business is
done at loss, was correct
Attorney-General Williams spoke
briefly, calling attention to the po-
sition of the matter as a legislative
act.
Concluding the argument, Mr..
Carter asserted the company did not
care about the $4,000 a year men
toned by Mr.. Davis, but was con-
cerned in the hundreds of thous-
ands it might lose. The purely in
trastate traffic, eliminating the sit
uatlon at Alexandria, where many
passengers save money by buy
ing tickets only in this State, was
but or 6 per cent of the total re-
ceipts OF the road He still con-
tended that the intrastate business
Is done at a loss. Judge Buchanan
asked Mr.. Carter If a 3-cent rate
would make up the deficit, and he
said it would not. In reply TO a
question by Judge Buchanan as to
why he did not ask for a rate which
would make this class of business
carry itself, he said the aim was to
secure the basic 3-cent rate. The
case was submitted.

MUCH STRESS LAID

Honesty In advertisements and

more the aim OF all advertisers" con
tinued Mr.. Radcliffe, III the express
sions heard at various advertising
conventions are any criterion. AT
every convention | attend ! hear the
pleh for the square deal and every
time II Is stronger and more vigor-
onsiy commended by the delegates.
There were two addresses In the
Boston convention which dealt direct
" with this phase OF the advertising
profession and both were excellent
The first was by the publisher of The
Times, James Schermerhorn, who
spck. on The newspapers and their
advertisers and the other by Ber.
Moses. of the Association Of Amer
can Advertisers. who addressed US on
the Ethics OF advertising.
Mr.. Moses made a strong appeal
for honest advertising. Here Is
paragraph from his address:
"You may make a code OF ethics
rs long as trans-continental rail
road, but tell you the one word
honesty covers the subject better
and Ia something we can all under.
stand. Will allaround honesty in ad-
vertising ever prevail? I am hope
full, but not confident. II advertisers
themselves would eliminate all false
hood and exaggeration and bombast
from their advertising and thus create
and establish absolute confidence on
the part OF the public In printed an
nonncements, the sales following
would astound and amaze.
Another man who referred to this
subject was President Dobbs, OF the
Associated Advertising clubs, In his
response to the addresses OF wei

drees, good reports of 1t were given
In the Boston papers. We are men

years or more We have steadfastly
held to a purpose. That purpose -
to educate the advertisers OF this
country that there Is but one kind OF
