Bates County Wins in Federal
Court of Appeals.

st. Louis, Sept. %. Bates county,
Missouri and Drainage District No. 1,
of that county, were successful in a
suit instituted against them by A. V.
Willis and Sons, contractors, by de-
cision rendered yesterday by the
Federal Court of Appeals. The con,
tractors sued for $4,000, which they
claimed for extra work by having en-
countered rock in excavations that
was not reckoned in the contract.
The United States Circuit Court at
Kansas City directed a verdict for the
contractors for the full amount.
The Appellate Court reversed this
verdict and directed a new trial Judge
Munger held that fatal defect against
awarding the contractors the full
amount was a provision for partial
payments as the work progressed,
based on the estimates of the engineer
and that the latter failed to give esti-
mates.

The Day of Reckoning.
The "House of Governors APP
pointed committee of three of its
members to argue against the San
born interstate rate decision when the
case reaches the Supreme Court. The
committee was appointed because the
governors feared the rights of the
states were in danger of being vio-
lated by the highest court OF the land.
Each member of the Supreme Court,
when he takes his oath, solemnly
promises to protect the rights OF the
states as we'll as those of the nation.
Why, then, should the governors be
apprehensive?: Why should they con-
slider it necessary to tell the highest
court what its duty is?
The very fact that governors rccog-
nized the necessity for such action in
dcates that it isn't only "agitators"
and "demagogues' who have become
suspicious of the Supreme Court, and
OF the whole Judiciary system.
