After the Hepburn rate law was

Only Money Can BE- Accepted
From the Railroad, Says
Supreme Court.
CON rRAcTs ARE VOID
E. L. Motley Pass Issued in
Lieu of Damages Held
Invalid.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Only mon
ey, and not advertising. can be &C
cepted by interstate railroads, on
payment for transportation accord
ing to an Interpretation announced
by the supreme court of the United
States of the Hepburn rate law.
The decision involved large num-
Der of contracts between the Chicago.
Indianapolis & Louisville Railway
Company and various publishers.
The contract between the "Monon
Route" and the Frank Munsey Com
pany gave rise to the principal case.
By the terms of the contract, the
Moron Roate" was to get one page
of advertising in Munsey's Magazine
in exchange for $500 worth of trans
portation.
GovERnsMENT's STAND.
The government claimed that this
was in violation of the Hepburn rate
law enacted i'm 1906, and asked the
court to enipin the railroad from
issuing transportation. 1t contend
ed that if advertising could be &C
cepted. railroads could also accept
coal or iron or wood or oil. or any
thing else in payment for transporta-
ton, thus opening the door to whole
sale determinations among shippers.
RAILROADS. CLAIM.
The railroad argued that as long
as the substitute for money in the
payment of tpansportatisn is equiv
alent invalue to money. there is not
a different compensation under
the law.
The United States circuit court
for the Northern District of Illinois
granted the relief asked by the
government. The supreme Court
today affirmed this decision.
CONTRACTS ARE VOID.
The court also decided that inter
state railroads, cannot issue passes
for interstate transportation, even
though they had contracts To do so.

rate law.
