Many Car, to Move Fruit Crop.

The announcement recently made by
the Denver * Rio Granfe. Santa Fe
and other railroad lines, that they have
made ample arrangements for cars
to transport the Colorado fruit crop
to market will be gratifying to the
horticultural interests of the state.
This statement comes TO contradict
the assertion that there is and will be
this season an alarming shortage of
cars for the prompt shipment Of per-
ishable fruit and that heavy loss Will
ensue-
Refrigerator service will not be re-
quired this year to the extent that 1t
has been heretofore. owing to the IA
vorable weather for shipping and to
the fast schedules adopted for all fruit
bearing trains.
There are 3s railways interested In
the fruit traffic and they represent
Colorado mileage to the extent OF 5.55s
miles. about one-third being the mar
row guage system and subject to the
necessity OF transfer to the other lines

washington, ID. C.-The supreme
court In an opinion by Associate JUS
tice Holmes, upheld the validity OF a
statute or South Dakota which makes
IL unlawful for any person, corpora
ton or other dealer in a commodity
In general use to sell such commodity
at a lower price I'm one locality, max
ing due allowance for difference in
cost OF transportation and distribution,
than in another locality.
The case was brought to the su-
preme court by the Central Lumber
company, corporation which was
proceeded against in one of the local
courts of South Dakota for violating
the statute. The lumber company de-
INJURED to the complaint brought
against ii on the ground that the law
violated the federal constitution. The
case was carried to the supreme court
of South Dakota, which upheld the
validity of the law, and the lumber
company appealed to the supreme
court of the United States.
The decision was forecast in the
Washington dispatches several days
ago.
The case has attracted wide atten-
ton because it settles a question that
has been raised as to the validity of
such legislation, which practically pre-
scribes uniform prices for commodi-
ties. Such legislation has been pro-
posed In both houses OF congress as q
means of getting at the trusts. The
evidence in the tobacco and Standard
Oil cases showed that favorite meth
cd employed by these corporations in
suppressing competition was to under
sell at a loss until competition was
destroyed in a locality, while main
tanning prices in localities where there
was no competition so high that the
offenders were able to make up their
losses by destroying competitors in
business. Following these disclosures
bills were proposed in congress requir-
ing uniform prices, but Immediately
the cry was raised by the trust de-
tenders that such legislation would be
unconstitutional.
