washington. Jan. 20.-That the new
court of commerce stands periously
near to abolition by congress is the
opinion of well informed Washington
ians who have watched the court in
action during the few months of its
existence.
The court of commerce is regarded
as being distinctly reactionary It
is apparently trying to block the
enforcement of the interstate COM
merce law by the interstate com
merce commission. There has al
ready developed a well defined feel
ing of neutrality-suspicious. it might
be called a case of professional
jealousy between these two
branches of the government.
1t is openly predicted that legis-
lation will be pushed in both house
and senate before long. eliminating
the court OF commerce from the stat
ute books Many of the progressiyes
of congress are convinced that the
court does not serve a single useful
purpose and will be hindrance and
a stumbling block in the enforcement
OF interstate commerce law.
1t is now we'll understood that the
supreme court of the United States
did not view with favor the estab-
lishment of the new tribunal. and
there is as strong impression that
the supreme court will take the same
pleasure in reversing the commerce
court as the latter seems to take
in reversing the interstate commerce
commission.

long. This siding was sold in 1902
to the lltchison and Arkansas River
railroad company for $4,000. There
was nothing but this fraction OF a
mile of track. no cars, engines, or 9th

Arkansas River railroad company was
a paper concern, differed by the peo-
Dle who were also officers of the salt
company Three trunk line railroads
connected with this side line that
called itself railroad, and switched
cars from the salt works over it.
Here is the rebate part OF it. For
the use OF this bit OF trackage the
trunk lines granted, on salt destined
TO Missouri river points, 2s per cent
of the through rate, mp to 30 cents
per ton. That wae -quNarent 10
granting that particular salt company
a rate - per cent lower than com
peting companies could get. This
forced competing concerns in Hutch
inson to drop out of the bulk salt
business to Missouri river points.
There was nothing uncertain about
the attitude of the interstate com
merce commission when this situa-
tion was presented to it. 1t declared
this form of rebating is illegal. There
are grave fears that the new com
merce court is going to overrule tn"
commission on this point, if its deci-
cision regarding the ''lighterase al
lowance" which the sugar trust gets
in New York is any criterion.
In this case the commerce court
has made a point of the highest sig
nificance and encouragement to re-
baters since the ''lighterage allow
ance" is simply device by which
the sugar trust gains what rebate
it pleases from the various railroad
companies involved.
II is estimated that there are fully
5000 of these industrial railroads
and tap lines that the interstate
commerce commission has not yet
listed In almost all eases they are
controlled by big. wealthy corpora
tions. A small industry is not able
to own even a few miles of road;
or. owning it, has not the power to
force the truck lines to give if ey-
orDitant divisions of the throug1
rates.
In a court review the whole Ques
tion of the commissions power over
these industrial or tap lines is soon
to be passed upon, in view OF the
provisions of recent legislation II

Courtesy is the oil which makes the

The lubricant OF courtesy is as
NECESSARY among the personnel OF

tions of it's members one TO the other,
as it is imperative that courtesy
obtain between the organization and
the public which it serves.
Every industrial or commercial or

than a wheel, occupying its particular
place within the vast social and in
dustral mechanism of society as

effectiveness. and nicely with which
it reyoves is determined to a great
extent by the lack of friction be-
tween it and society as a whole.
The wheel may be a perfect wheel,
each component part set and ADJUST
ed with precision and perfection. And
yet. if friction is caused by its rev
oulions, its value and effectiveness
are severely impaired. Courtesy Is
the oil which diminishes the evil
effects of friction.
The value of courtesy as a business
asset is seldom appreciated noi its
necessity fully comprehended.
The wear and tear OF the daily
grind make many a human cog in
industrial organizations peevish, irrit-
able. and curt. The tendency arises
TO forget that such thing as cour-
tesy exists. The tendency must be
fought from the instant 1t appears.

"A soft answer turneth awaT
wrath" said Jesus. And thus he
gave the world the basis of the phil
oSophy of courtesy in nutshell.
Courtesy is defined as politeness,
civility, urbanity, -ourtliness, and
GOOD breeding. It is the outward sym
bol OF refinement. atfability, gener-
osity, kindliness and brothery love.
Courtesy is one of the hardest rules
of life to live up to. And yet it
pays dividends tar in excess of the
capital of effor- invested.

business organization depend greatly
upon the attitude of friendliness and
eagerness to serve which II main
