Old CONFLICT REVIVED
Question of States Rights in Trans
portation Problem.

Washington, March 25.-The inter
state commerce commission, in an
opinion made public, has established
the far reaching principle that rail-
road must so adjust its rates that jus
tice will be done between communities
regardless of state lines.
If railroad makes low rate upon
traffic wholly within d state, even
when forced to 90 so by a state COM
mission, it must accord the same rate
to interstate traffic moving under sub
stantially similar conditions.
The principle was laid down by a
vote of four to three. 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.
The case practically precipitated a
conflict between federal and state au-
thority over the control of interstate
traffic. The opinion of the majority by
Commissioner Lane is a definite asser-
ton of the supremacy of national
regulatory authority over the powers
exercised by any state. 1t is the first
time this assertion has been made dis
stinctly by the commission. Chairman
Prouty and Commissioners Clark and
Meyer concurred with Commissioner
Lane and Commissioners Clements
Harlan and McChord dissented.
A proceeding brought by the Louisi-
ana commission placed in issue the
right of interstate carriers to discrim-
mate In favor of state traffic and
against interstate traffic.

price set upon these FASTENERS GER
tainly will not be less than the figure
athletes release. Nobody can ques-
ton PauTs privilege to drive the best
salary bargain possible. but in case
ne sticks to the value put by himself
upon his services it is fairly certain
that he will not play ball with the
Antelopes this year and probably not
with any other minor league Rggrega-
ton. To be exact, Paul is standing
out for greater salary than is paid
any other outfieIder in the Western
lea gue-and there are at least few
mighty good ones in the circuit. Paul
mas full measure of friends in the
ranks of local fandon and these
friends would regret it IL any contro-
yersy over the salary question should
induce him to retire from the game.
Certainly the boss of the Antelopes is
not noted for penuriousness toward
players and it is a bit unfortunate
that Paul has taken a stand which, if
other Lincoln players were to pro-
ceed along similar lines, would spell
financial disaster to the management.
Bali players are entitled to all they
can get, but there is a fairly well
defined danger line and President
declares absolutely that the
salary expense shall be proportionate
to the income. If players everywhere
failed to take this danger line into
account and enforced their demands,
there is scarcely a league in the land
that could survive

That is the railway of the future,

And a Hutchinson man, w. "A. Scot
horn, is the inventor of an engine
which it is believed will thus reVolu-
tienize railway operations.
For five years, Mr.. Scothorn, man.
ager of the Hutchinson Interurban
Railway company, has been working On
a new idea of an internal combustion
gasoline motor.
He now has his engine almost to the
point where it can be given a try-out,
and will secure patent papers as soon
as he is thoroughly convinced that it
will do what he requires of it.
Mr.. Scothorn's engine will mark a
great advancement in gasoline motor
railway cars 1t really is a gasoline
motor locomotive, with a pulling ca
pacity equal to the biggest steam
Mallet engine.
Il believe I have the right idea, and
that it win test out" remarked Mr..
Scothorn. "Of course I will subject 1t 10
all the necessary tests before I go very
far with it. II my test convinces me that
it will really do the work, will have an
engine built on these plans for a practical
workout"
If the Scothorn engine proves success
full it will supersede steam locomotives on
railroads, for it will have the same pull
ing power at less cost; it will abolish Wa
ter tanks and coal chutes on railroads; it
viii enable the railroads to do away with
the division round houses, for one OF

end of the system to the other.
\ This motor engine of mine will pull
train lige the de Luxe through from ChI-
caEo to New York without a stop for
water, or anything else" declared Mr..
Scothorn.
His engine will be applicable to inter
urban cars and even automobiles, smaller
engines being used, but the same prin-
ciple applying.
Mr.. Scothorn. of course, is jealousy
guarding his plans and does not give out
the details of his invention for he has not
yet secured patent papers.

MILWAUKEE INTO CANADA.
Line VIII Be Built From Butte, Mont.

Minneapolis. March 25.-Folowing the
recent announcement that the Chicago,
AIilHa ukee & st. Paul railway purpos-
ed to spend 100000 in improvements
in the Northwest, especially in Iowa
and Minnesota, it is announced here
that the road practically had arrang-
ed to build a new line from Butte,
Mont, into Canada.
The projects outlined involves the
building of a line from Butte Mont, up
the Flathead valley into Canada. This
line already has been surveyed, but nc
definite time has been announced for
beginning of the work, depending large
~ upon the terms which can be made
for neW security issues. The ST. Paul
it is pointed out, has very valuable
coal deposits just across the line in
Canada, and the new road is planned to
open them up for the benefit of tha
state of Montana. From the coal fields
of Regina or Calgary.
Another project, for which surveys
and said not yet to have been made,
is the building of the extension from
Puget Sound into Vancouver, B. c..
the directors of the road being said
to have decided informally that it must
be put through so as to reach that
port soon after the opening of the
Panama canal.
The Union Pacific also, it is thought
will be compelled to build into Van
