THAT'S what you do when you buy
High View home with the money you

After the first small cash payment it costs
you but $4,000 per month to buy one of these
modern homes An average of over one-half of
this amount each month pays off directly
the home. The balance covers all interest.
SO in this way over one-half of your rent

Commissions Complaint.

In the light of the decision, which is
written by Commissioner Lane the def
mite assertion of the supremacy of ma
tional regulatory authority over the pow
ers exercised by any state is made, it be-
ing the first time this assertion has been
made positively by the commission.
''The complaint of the Louisiana COM
mission placed squarely before the inter-
state commission the question of the
right of Interstate carriers to discrim-
mate in favor of state traffic and against
interstate traffic.
The sum of the complaint was that
low rate within the state Of Texas was
forced ON the railroads by the railroad
commission of that state in furtherance
of policy to protect and promote the
jobbing interests of the state. The COM
mercial interests of Louisiana at once,
through their state railroad commission
declared that they We're being djscrim-
mated against because of the exactOns
of the higher rates from Shreveport west
ward, and demanded an adjustment of
the rates and in the opinion handed down
it is pointed out that the present class
rates from Shreveport to Texas points are
unreasonable and lower rates which must
be put in effect by May 1 are prescribed.

Dissenting Opinion.

in his dissenting opinion Commits
sioner Clements says: The question of
authority here presented is not that of
the Congress. under the Constitution.
but that of this commission under the
statute; it is not what additional powers
Congress could or ought to vest in the
commission, but, has it conferred the
power here sought to be exercised?
commissioner Harlan while concurring
in the general views of Commissioners
Clements and McChord. believes that the
majority opinion rests on an insecure
and wholly unsatisfactory foundation for
administrative purposes when it flows
from a process of reasoning that is adj
mittedly mere construction"
I'm view of the approaching determine
ton of tke Minnesota, Kentucky and other
state rate cases by the Supreme Court
Commissioner McChord in his opinion de-
clares that the commission ought not to
assert such principles as are embodied
in the case decided. He asserts:
This commission should confine itself
within the four corners OF the law of it's
creation, usurping neither the legislative
function of the Congress nor the judicial
power of the courts.

notable which has been assembled in
