DECISIONS Of US. COURT
NRALWAy RATE CASES
Termination of the Litigation
Gratifying to the Govern
ment Attorneys.

Two decisions handed down this week
by the United States Supreme Court deal
ing with railroads have been highly graft
flying to the government. The first OF
these was the commodities clause case,
and the second involved the rights Of
railroads to refuse carload rates to ship
pers who combined their shipments in
one car. The cases were conducted for
the government by Wade II. Ellis, for
merly assistant to the Attorney General.
Views Of Mr.. Ellis.
In speaking Of the cases today to q
reporter for The Star, Mr.. Ellis said:
THE Immediate effect Of the courts de-
cision in the commodities clause case is
to reopen the question Of the good faith
of separate corporations now maintained
by many railroads in the coal regions.
"The commodities act declares that
no railroad shall transport in inter-
state commerce any commodity in
which 1t has an interest, direct or in
direct, and the Supreme Court, in in
terpreting this language. holds that,
while this does not prevent a railroad
from carrying products belonging to
another company in which the railroad
owns stock, it does forbid such trans
portation il the railroad uses the sub
sidiary corporation as mere shell or
cloak to conceal it's own ownership Of
the commodity transported. This was
the real evil aimed At by the commod-
tiles clause, and the decision Of the

Of Congress-"
Competition on Equal Basis,

Referring to the second case, Mr..
Ellis said:
"The holding Of the Supreme Court
is most fortunate for the shippers OF
agricultural products and the small
manufacturers throughout the country,
for it enables them to compete on an
equal basis, in respect to transporta-
ton. with their larger rivals. They
will now be permitted to assemble
their goods in one name and get the
advantage OF carload rates. which they
were forbidden to do under the rule
Of the railroads"

are ii to be farmers or farmers wives.
This can be done only by making
farm life worth living
"All over the country there is the
beginning of a great social and IN
dustrial awakening. The farmer Is
beginning to magnify his office to cut
loose from partisan bias, to do his
own thinking and act for himself
He is paying better salaries to ms
school teachers and insisting that the
teaching have some relation TO the
life on the farm. He is buying his
own automobile and paying cash for
themJ He is beginning to realize
that farm life is essentially different
from the life of the town. The move
ment to organize country life clubs
is spreading. The boys and girls are
organizing for games. The country
church is beginning to realize its mis-
sion. and in several States country
preachers are taking short courses in
agricultural colleges in order that they
may teach morals and religion to
farmers in terms Of their daily life.
In conclusion, permit me to say
that the ultimate prosperity of the
city. its ability to govern itself wisely
and well, depends on the development
of rural anhOOd.
