THE COAL TRADE DECISION,

The United States Supreme Court, IN
its second Interpretation of the ''com-
modities clause' of the Hepburn rate
law, merely confirms what was known
before, that the intent Of the law was
to dissociate the transportation husl-
ness from the business of producing
or manufacturing commodities or
articles TO transport. As applied in this
region the law has disconnected the
railroad companies from the operation
of coal mines and from the ownership
of the coal. The result Of this por-
coal companies have been formed to
open coal mines. dig the coal, and mar
ket it. If has been understood that
the railroad companies or their officials
were the controlling power in these coal
companies.
In the further Interpretation Of the
law as applied TO this condition of pro
ductlon and transportation, there is an
evident purpose in the mind of the court
to break up any combination that may
exist in the way of a common interest
between the railroads or the railroad
men in the transportation business and
those in the coal business. These rela
tions, it appears from the reading of the
decision, are TO be more clearly and de
cisively separated than heretofore, We
imagine, however, that but little prac
tical difference will be found as be
tween the conditions existing and
those that this decision will compel
The segregation is complete, so far a:
all official relationship is concerned, anc
if the personality in the ownership
of the coal mines and of the coal mined
is to. be made an object of further
separation, we imagine that the coa

Of the community at large. The de-

very great, and. worse than all, the

probability is that the present year this

The imperative need of scientific
help in combating this noxious insect
is, therefore. evident, because the de.

them or might not. If it did take them.
1t would very likely do so on it's
own terms, forcing the price down
considerably below par. The Panama

per cents would not be much in demand
as such security under the Aldrich plan,
and would form an anomaly IN our
financial system that it is desirable TO
get rid Of as speedily AS possible; /;
and yet the only way TO get rid of 1T
would appear to be to retire the two
per cent bonds. The Government, how
ever, is in no position to do this, nor is
it likely to be for n long time TO come.
So that this problem of disposing OF the
two per cent bonds now held to secure
circulation is very important factor in
the consideration of the Aldrich cur
rcncv plan, and d factor that is likely
to make great deal of trouble for

into effect, in case it should be adopted

THE NEW LIQUoR LAW.

That the Legislature did not fool
the people to any great extent by the
enactment of the political liquor bill, is
evident as the returns come in. The
people generally understand that there
was not the slightest need Of enacting
any Liquor legislation; that the law
passed was for political purposes; that
it will be. expensive to carry out, will
unsettle our settled liquor adjudication,
and that it will stir up needless and
bitter strife In most of the communities.
These points have been dwelt upon by
The Tribune, and are becoming increas
lnLly plain to all the people. The gen
eral discomfort with that partisan Iegis-
latlon Is freely expressed ia the follow
ing editorial from the Millard County
Progress-Review Of March 3lst:
lnasmuch as the liquor bill brought
forth fort by the late Legislature occupied
| having been such a perpleXing PROPOSE
tlon wherewith two Legislatures have
in for considerable criticism, and it is
claimed by some that as far as liquor
legislation is concerned we are no better
off now than If nothing had been done.

but we had local option before. Any

ors could decide by their vote whether
they wanted commissioners and councils
who favored legaizins the liquor traf-

lation. or take chances on fighting IL
legal traffic without revenue. On those
propositions the new liquor bin makes no
! changes, except providing for. and MAX

tional expense on the tax payers This

How is that for strict regula ton? This
looks TO us like the most inconsistent

face of every voter who believed in, the
campaign slogan: Local option, high
license, and strict regulation" 1t Is diff
ficut for sober and temperance loving
! people 10 see any reason why saloons

hour when other business places close.

nearer the root OF the evil than all the
booze legislation we have had thus far.
And then provide an inebriate asylum
for the weak minded who have an un-
controllable appetite for liquor.
This wonderful liquor bill which has
cost so much time and money will be
part OF our statute now for two years
after which another Legislature will try
its hand at the difficult task OF legis-
pie. The new liquor law will be a source

ALASKA COAL LAND ENTRIES.

The ruling of Judge Cornelius IL.
State of Washington, al Seattle, in the
Alaska coal land cases is further and
gratifying evidence of the supremacy
Of the laws over the mere dictums OF
executive officials. We noted ycster-
day morning a case wherein the for
cstry officials undertook to make it 4
crime TO Craze stock on the forest
reserves without a permit, and the rul-
ing Of the court that administrative Of
ticlals could not create criminal stat
utes nor enforce penalties of their own
making And now this Alaska coal
land ruling rcinforces the proposition
that the executive officials Of the ad'
ministration have been not only usurp'
ing the power to make laws and en-
force penalties of their own, but have
deprived the people of their clear
rights under the laws.
The ruling of the court not only es'
tablishes the right Of the people to
make coal land entries in Alaska, but
to assign such entries, with the nee
essary implication that other people
may legally buy those assignments and
acquire title herewith to the coal
lands The ruling of the court was
comprehensive, sweeping; it entirely
does away with the impudent assump-
tion that the forestry officials can un-
,Fs l,,,
policy for the United States, not only
Independent of the laws, but in many
cases in clear contravention of them.
On every point Judge Hanford ruled
completely and decisively in favor of
the defendants, of their rights Of entry,
of assignment, and of the right of 9th.
ers to purchase such an assignment.
In one point only did the court hold
for the forestry service, and that was
as to the competency of a foreign
Canadian corporation to have a right
in the entries and assignments or pur,
chase of assignments of such entries.
This is a matter entirely aside from
the rights of Americans to enter, as"
sign, and purchase. On these main
points the court held decisively against
the Government, and for the defend
ants.
1t is an excellent showing and is not
likely in the least TO be disturbed by
the higher courts, if in this case the
government counsel concludes to APP
peal, as in the grazing case referred
to- 1t is altogether likely, as Judge
Hanford held that an alien corpora
ton, or persons not citizens of the
United States, would be debarred from
the privileges conferred by law upon
American citizens. That, however, is
a mere side issue, and has nothing at
all to do with the main question. On
this main question the forestry officials
are decisively routed, and the people
are put in possession of their rights
under the law, Alaska will now have
chance for development and progress,
and for the settlement within her boun-

OF the city Of Norfolk. were TO-DAY
AGO uitted by jury in the Corpora
ton Court upon the charge OF per.
uniting illegal voting and other .r
regularities in the August primary
OF last year. The jury was out but
forty five minutes. and took only one
vote.
The evidence presented by the State
was the testimony Of the following
witnesses, who testified that they did
not vote in the ward, although record
cd as voting: e. IT. AIeeks L. o.
Ship, a. C. Boze Theodore Butler, j.
ii. Loughr NJ NJ. Mann. T. H. Bry.
ant, j. S. Newcomer, DR.. Harry Wall,
~ NJ Vaughan, and G, f. Newton
The defense was that If there was
any Illegal voting or Irregularities at
the polls on that day, 1t was unknown
TO the judges. The accused men took
the stand, explained the manner in
which the election was conducted and
how 1t was easy and probable that the
names used could have been voted, and
the Judges be unaware of the frauds
until exposed by the investigation.
The trial occurred in the courtroom
III which the defendants were charged
with committing fraud, the room hav-
ing been used in the election as a
voting place.
