Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1911-12-22
The Rate Hearing

The hearing i'll the injunction against the reduced freight rates
in Washington before he Supreme Court, has been set in advance OF
many other cases on the docket. This is probably the most important
case that has been brought before the Court in many years; as it in
wolves the rights Of the Interstate Commerce Commission and also
the rights and powers Of the several State Railroad Commissions that
have been created by State laws.
The hearing is set for the 10Th of February and with the evidence
that Nevada has furnished it is safe 70 say that the asew will be as ON
pue as far as evidence is concerned, as any cas- submitted in many
years The Nevada Railroad Commission practically furnished the sna-
jor and convincing proofs n the case that determined the Interstate
Commerce Commission to issue the order for lower rates.
The creation OF the Commerce Court Of Interference upset not on
ly the relief promised the people, but also usurped the powers OF the
Interstate Commerce commission. The bill that has been introduced
i'll Congress to abolish this usehssCourt should come up and be passed.
There will be a tight oy the railroads and corporations to see that this
Court is not dissolved. The new-fangled Court has worked in every IN
stance so far for the corporations and not for the people. Such inter
ference cn only be tolerated by undue influence, and the maintaining
OF such a court by Congress. The action of the w bodies and the
votes of the members will be watched keenly by every State West OF
the Rockies.
WHO would take away the faith that a child has in this Mysterious
parsonage, Santa Claus, myth though he be, and who would take from
weak and fril humanity that larger, sweeter trust in the eternal good
ness? There are other unoAs and reunions, all of them pleasant and
helpful but there is hardly any such joy to a youth in this world as
that to getting back to the 6residc where he a reared.
There is a rest there for him, a perfection OF peace such as that, no
be ptied is he for wnom no door Of the early home is open IN Christ
beset him.
Beautiful and right it is that gifts and good wishes fill the air like
snownakes at Christmastide. And beautiful is the year i'll its coming
and its going-most beautiful and blessed because it is always the year
OF Our Lord.
