TWO IMPORTANT DECISIONS
United States Supreme Court Uphods
the Government Against Railroads.

Washington, April 9.-In two very
important decisions rendered today
the United States supreme court up
held the government and ruled against
the railroads.
One opinion gives vitality to the
Hepburn railway act amending the
interstate commerce act; the other
holds that forwarding companies" are
entitled to the rates given for carload
shipments" in the freight classifica-
lion territory cast of the Mississippi
river and north of the Ohio river. Both
opinions were read by Chief Justice
White and concurred in by the entire
court.

Bangor, in prohibition Maine, with

Boston Globe to have 200 saloons The
saloons there, in spite of prohibition
in constitution and law, arc fully of.

bc remembered that in the recent big
fire in Bangor, the Mayor issued proc
lamation in which he directed that dur
ing the fire the saloons should be closed; /;
which struck everybody as decidedly
queer, since there were supposed to be
no saloons-open ones at least-in the

NEW BUSINESS FORMS.

The Standard oil decision has been
received with unexpected cordlalitN
by the business world of the United
States There is M dissenting voice, so
far as those who speak for commerce.
industry. and financial activities arc
concerned. All approve and all look
for better times as Inc rcsui, OF the
decision.
At the same time, 1T is manifest that
there will have to be a radical change
in tho handling Of vast operations.

Bat whether this will be The change
OF whether it will be in the way OF
firms or voluntary associations without
charters. time must determine An
other thing that will help in this re
organization OF business, and which in
fact, has been suggested by US hereto
fore, IS the tax on corporations. This
tax amounts to some s25,O00,00O a year
pald into the Federal treasury. The
decision affirming this tax expressly
exempted from the payment Of il the
revepJes from property held by indi-
viduals by firms. or by certain forms
of voluntary business association.
1t would follow naturally. therefore,
that some such change of form would

be saved by the change in the form of

IMPROVED PUBLIC SERVICE.

Not long ago there was n hearing be-
fore committee of the House of Rep
resentatives in Washington on the ques.
tion Of the liberty of mail clerks and
some other employees OF the govern
| ment TO 90 on strike. The department
expressly combated The idea that any
of the employees in the government
service were at liberty TO eutangle
themselves in any way that would IN
volve a strike. 1t WAS held that the
employees might resign, but that they
had no right TO strike.
There arc two opposite contentious
| in tho public service; one Is for the
employees, TO the points of their doing
tho least possible work and getting the
greatest possible pay for what they do.
| The other is from the government
standpoint 10 get good and effective
service for reasonable compensation. In
order TO meet both views, there is a
suggestion by William $. Rossltcr in
the May number of the Atlantic maya
zinc that there should be in each de
partmeut AN official who could best he
