NV The interstate commerce
Wv commission in an opinion
made public today estab-
lished the far reaching principle that
railroad must so adjust its rates
that justice shall be done between
communities regardless of state lines.
If railroad makes low rate upon
traffic wholly within state, even
when forced to do SO by a state COM
mission, it must accord the same rate
to interstate traffic moving under sub
sequently similar conditions.
The principle was laid down by
vote Of a to g. The minority held
that the powers of congress were
usurped by the majority opinion and
that the remedy for such a situation
should be applied through additional
legislation.
States Stand Second
The case practically precipitated
conflict between federal and state att
thority over the control of interstate
traffic. The opinion Of the majority by
Commissioners Lane is definite asser-
tion OF the supremacy Of national reg
ufatory over the powers exercised by
any state. It is the first time this as
sertfon has been made distinctly by
the commission. Chairman Prouty and
Commissioners Clark and Meyer con-
CURED with Commissioner Lane and
commissioners Clements. Harlan and
McChord dissented.
A proceeding brought by the Louis
lana commission placed in issue the
right of interstate carriers to discrim-
mate in favor of state traffic and
against interstate traffic.
Basis of Complaint
THE gravamen of complaint" the
opinion says, "is that the carriers de-
fendant make rates out of Dallas and
which are much lower than those which
extend into Texas from Shreveport, La.
rate of so cents carries first class
traffic to the westward from Dallas
distance of $50 miles, while the same
rate of so cents will carry the same
class of traffic only SO miles into Texas
from Shreveport.
THE low rate within the state of
Texas was forced upon the railroads by
the Texas railroad commission in fur
therance of a policy to protect and pro-
mote the jobbing interests of Texas.
The Louisiana commission declared that
Louisiana was being Disseminated
against because of the exaction of the
higher rates from Shreveport westward
and demanded an adjustment. The con-
tentions of Louisiana were sustained by
the commission.
"The majority had that conviction.
Would Limit Commerce
"If a state, by the exercise of it's
lawful power establishes rates which
the interstate carrier makes effective
upon state traffic, that carrier does so
with the full knowledge that the fed
eral government requires it to apply
such rates under like conditions upon
interstate traffic. To say that an inter-
state carrier may discriminate against
interstate commerce because of the
order of a state commission would be
to admit that state may limit and
prescribe the flow Of commerce between
the states.
"An interstate carrier must respect
the federal law, and if it is also sub
jected to state law it must respect that
in so far as it can without doing vio-

placed on dynamite by President Taft's
proclamation is removed within the
next 10 days, according to the forward

The embargo has caused the accumu-

uneasiness is being displayed by mining
men who are dependent upon frequent
shipments of explosives from the
United States. They declare that the
absence of revolutionary activities in

low up the retreating rebels.
Campo obtained a light engine and
an engineer, who agreed to accept the
hazardous task of starting it after it
had been loaded with the explosive.
He ran it until a down grade was
reached and then, opening the throttle,
jumped for his life. The wild locomo-
tive tore down the track at terrific
speed. The engineer of the armored
train saw his danger and stopped, but
could not escape the on rushing

gine and first car of the federal train
and derailed the last two cars. At the
same instant the dynamite exploded.
General Campo justihes this method
by declaring that in Yesterdays light

burning to death both their own and

side. are carried on the study Of COM
merciaI and academic subjects, but
through 1t ali there runs the thread OF
practical application OF all that Is stud
led and the students are encouraged by
the principal ana faculty TO see the uses
that are made In daily life Of the work
OF the school course.
While the novelty Of the real applica-
ton Of banking principles which Busi-
mess recently installed has somewhat
worn on, there is now apparent the great
value OF the Business High School Bank.
II Is likely that the acquaintance With
the machinery OF bank its daily kou
tine, and the solution OF the real prob
lens that arise are but the least valuable
OF the influence which this institution
exerts upon the school as a whole Be
hind It an comes the teaching of habits
OF thrift and economy which lie at he
basis OF 50 much OF the happiness Of
life. That Is a phase. Of child -educa-
tion which has not been as well provided
for as many think might and should
have been supplied in our schooy sys-
TEN. To know the power OF even small
sums OF money, to learn habits of saw
ing, to have thoroughly ingrained the
realization without the tears and sorrow
that too often come from the hard les
sons Of later life. that one cannot eat
ones cake and have IL too, are eIe-
ments OF education that undoubtedly
make for less suffering and greater COM
fort through the years to come.
These lessons are being taught at
Business mainly through the bank in
which the students have accounts and
make their savings Perhaps in the
summing up Of It all those who stand
at the outside OF the receiving teller's
window are learning more valuable les
sons In life than are those who learn
accuracy, skill In figures. and the sense
Of responsibility on the inside.
Fills Important Place.
The school is no vocational school in
any sense, in that it aims to prepare
for no single business, Il gives that
acquaintance through business with the
realities Of life which all of its stu
dents must face sooner or later. The
preparation for the responsibilities and
the duties of citizenship in the active
community is the field which the school
aims TO fill, and which. with the added
experience Of years, II is filling better
every day. Its large and enthusia site
membership at once proves its useful
ness and the appreciation OF the COM
munity OF the service II is rendering.
