RUSHING WORK ON THEATRE.

People who frequent Market street.
are marveling at the rapid progress
made by John A. Bader. contractor,
transforming ST. Paul's NJ. Il.
Church at Seventh and Market
streets, into a moving picture theatre.
The contractor got the job princi-
pally because he said he could do the
work in eight weeks and from the
looks of things It appears that he will
succeed
A large force Of men are at work
night and day, razing the front of the
structure. Electric lights are used al
night to help the men see their work
and as Market street is well lighted
at that point they don't appear tc

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA

as reasonable should not be ordered
i'll. The answer is that carriers should
be permitted in so far as possible to
adjust their own tariffs and that il
seems probable that in compliance
with this order carriers must estab-
lish rates in substantial accord with
those suggested by us. 1t should be
ever borne in mind that the acute
complaint in this case is the discrimi-
nation and not~the unreasonable rate.
Obedience to this order will doubtless
result in some rates from the east
which are higher and in others when
are lower than those suggested by
the Commission since we did not then
feel at liberty, as the compliments
requested, to make the Spokane rate
depend upon the coast rate But 1t
is likely that the resulting schedule
will be more satisfactory to the COM
plainants, and no more burdensome
upon the defendants If the carriers
establish under this disposition of
he case rates to Spokane which are
excessive further order can be made
in this proceeding reducing them to a
proper basis"
In an elaborate discussion of the
long-and-short-ha provision in the
so-called Reno case and the Phoenix
Arizona case, Commissioner Lane,
who prepared the opinions in these
cases for tie Commission asserts that
sit must be aftirmatiyely shown by
the carriers, seeking exceptions to the
Observation-Disclosures provisions tina.
IN injustice will not be done to intel
mediate points by allowing lower ra-
.es to the more distant points.
THE intentment of the amended
law, says Commissioner Lane, lis to
make it's prohibition of the higher
rate for the shorter haul rule of
weli-nigh universal application from
which this Commission may deviate
only in special cases and then to meet
transportation circumstances which
IRE beyond the carriers control"
1t Is held that in the light of his
tory it is not to be gainsaid that the
transcontinental lines must give con-
sideration to sea competition IL
was held, also, however, "that the
carriers herein involved have not
shown that undue discrimination was
not effected by their rate adjustments
between points in Nevada and points
IN California; nor have they estab-
lished that the rates to the coast
cities, If extended by them from east
ern points outside the zone Of water
Influence are not fully compensa-
tory"
The transcontinental carriers,
therefore, are ordered to readiust
their present rates October Is, next,
from eastern territories to interme-
date points as compared with the ra
ties from Nevada points to the Pacific
Coast, This will make reduction of
rates to Reno and Nevada common
points from the east Of approximately
1915 per cent.
In the course of the opinion, Com
ssi01er Lane says.
We desire to be extremely conser
yativ in this first application Of tn.

long-and-short-haul provision is laid
down While the opinions fully re-
cognize, the influence of water eompe-
tition, to marked extent they draw
line upon indiscriminate market"
competition.
The effect of the decisions will be
to notify the carriers that they will
be allowed to meet water competition
TO a reasonable extent, but that loca-
ton OF markets hereafter win be left
more to the play of commercial caus-
IS than to will of the traffic mana
gers of railways.
The cases involved are those of the
City Of Spokane against the Northern
Pacific Railway Company, known
popularity as the Spokane Rat,
Case; The Commercial Club of Salt
Lake City against the Atchison. To-
peka C Sante Fe Railway Compan~
and others; the Railroad Commission
of Nevada against the Southern Pa
cific Company and ohters; and the
Marieopa County Commercial Club

dove-tail into one another the Com
mission announces its decisions in
two opinions. In brief the Commits
sion takes the view which 1t took IL
it's opinions Of the same cases an
nouneed a year ago last June. At
that time the Commission said ii
would make no order respecting the
rates which it suggested might be
put into effect until ii had opportu-
nifty to determine from reports made
to 1t by the carriers Of the probable
effect OF the suggested rates. Mean
time, the carriers have submitted to
the Commission their earnings under
the old rates and what would have
been their earnings under the rates
proposed by the Commission. These
tabulated statements have convinced
the Commission that the rates deter
mined upon by the Commission in its
decisions Of June T. 1910 generally
fair and reasonable. The Commits
sion says that there is no reason why
those rates should not now be estab-
lished.
Since the PRONUNCIATION of that
opinion" the Commission says, 'the
fourth section the long-and-short-
haul provision" has been amended.
In as much as the gravamon of the
complaint of the City OF Spokane and
to some extent of Salt Lake City was
directed against the violation Of the
fourth section, it is necessary again
to inquire further wether, under the
amended fourth section, the relief to
which those communities are entitled
can now be granted.
The compliments contend that
the provision in the amended section
permitting the Commission to author
ize in particular instance the charg-
ing OF higher rate at the intermc-
diate point is void as delegation OF
legislative authority; that 1t should
be rejected and the section applied
by the Commission as though it were
an absolute long-and-short-haul pro-
hlbition This contention is not sus-
tained.

The defendants contend that the
only effect of the amendment is to
cast upon The carriers the burden of
assuming the initiative in justifying
he higher rate at the intermediate
point. If upon investigation it is
found that competition exists at the
more distant point and not at the in
termediate point then the Commits
sion must, without further inquiry,
grant the relief asked for; If no such
competition exists it must dony the
application. This contention is not
sustained.
In amending the fourth section
by striking out the words similar cir
cumstances and conditions Congress
intended to invest the Commission
with authOrityNnot only to detirmine
wether wrong results from the dis
regard for the ong-and-short-ha
provision, but also to correct that
wrong If it was found to exist.
"In determining whether the car
riers shall be permitted to make the
higher intermediate charge the Com
mission cannot act arbitrarily, but
must apply the principles which con-
troll ii in the administration of other
portions of the act. 1t must inquire
wether the maintenance of the high
er intermediate rate will result in
unreasonable charges or unjustdis-
examinations. If so the permission
must be refused; otherwise it must
be granted
The Commission may prescribe in
any way that is definite and certain
the extent to which the intermediate
ate may exceed the iong-distance
ate in cases where. this Is necessary
o prevent unreasonable rates and
MUST determinations"
The opinions in the Spokane Rate
'ase and in the Salt Lake Case were
prepared by Commissioner Prouty.
They affect all applications by the
carriers for relief under the long-and-
short-haul provision. For the sake
4 convenience the country hetweel.
the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans
$ divided into five freight zones.
These zones are defined with reason
able definiteness by the decisions.
From zone number one, which in
cludes approximately all territory
west Of mid-continental north-and-
south line 1t is prescribed that rates
must not be higher on west-bound
traffic toany intermediate point than
to a more distant point. Moving
eastward, from zone number two the
rates to intermediate points may ex-
coed those to more distant points by
not over seven per cent; from zone
number tire by not over Is per cent.
and from zone number four by not ov-
err rs per cent. No opinion isyexpres-
sed as to the rates from zone number
five which is farthest east. because
the rates from that territory are not
particularly involved in these deci-
sions, inasmuch as they generally are
controlled by ocean transportation to
the Pacific Coast.
