Washington.-In an opinion made
public recently the Interstate Com
merce Commission established the
far-reaching principle that railroad
must SO adjust its rates that justice
will be done between communities re-
gardless of state lines. II railroad
makes low rate upon traffic wholly
within state even when forced to do
SO by state commission. it must ac-
cord the same rate to interstate traf-
fic moving under substantially 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 situa-
ton should be applied through addi.
tional 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 definite
assertion Of the supremacy Of
national regulatory authority over
the powers exercised by any state.
1t is the first time this as
sertion has been made distinctively
by the commission. Chairman Prouty
and Commissioners Clark and Meyer
concurred with Commissioner Lane,
and Commissioners Clements. Har-
Ian 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
"The gravamen of the complaint"
the opinion says. "is that the carriers
defendant make rates out of Dallas
and ether Texas points into eastern
exas which are much lower than
those which they extend into Texas
from Shreveport, La.
A rate of sixty cents carries first
class traffic to the westward from Dal
las, distinct of ,160 miles, while the
same rate of sixty cents will carry the
same class OF traffic only fifty-five
LILIES lutO 1tAdS lTOM oucEeNtpOit
The low rate within the state Of
Texas was forced upon the railroads
by the Texas railroad commission in
furthcrance of policy to protect and
promote the jobbing interests of Tex
as. The Louisiana commission de-
clared that Louisiana was being dis
crimlnated against because of the ex-
action of the higher rates from Shreve-
port westward and demanded an ad-
iustment. The contentious of Louisiana
were sustained by the commission.
The majority held:
THAT if state by the exercise of
its lawful power established rates
which the interstate carriers make ef-
fective upon state traffic, that carrier
does so with the full knowledge that
the federal government requires it to
apply such rates under like conditions
upon interstate traffic. To say that
an interstate carrier may discriminate
against intertate commerce because or
the order of a state commission would
be to admit that a state may limit and
prescribe the flow of commerce be-
tween the states.
IAN interstate carries must respect
the federal law and if it is also SUBJ
jected to state law it must respect
that in so far as it can without doing
violence to it's obligations under the
national authority"

TERMS POLITICS PREsENT-DAY
EVIL.

That politics are a present-day evil
was the assertion of the Rev. A.
Schliesser, pastor of the Trinity Evan
gelical Lutheran Church. Sunday.
If a man has been nominated for
president, some individuals and corpo-
rations give great sums of money for
the election of their candidate. When
elected, some feel duty bound to favor
them, as We have learned especially
from the schoolboy quarrel of Taft and
Roosevelt" said the minister. 1T is
no longer an honor to be senator.
Another evil of these days is the
oppression of workers. Many employ
ers treat their employees like mules.
That employer who Expresses his EN-.
ployee is committing as great a sin as
that Of murder"

AT THE MEMO THEATRE SUN
DAY NIGHT SEE VANITY FAIR"
TOO GOOD FOR ALGIERS."

A thOughtless remark that has occa-
sionally been made that some particu-
lar enterprise or building is too good
for Algiers" has always been resented
by the residents of this district; and
it very properly should be resented by
every self-respecting member of our
community.
In the full knowledge that our peo-
pie are the equals of those living in
any other district, in intelligence, NOR
ais and good citizenship, it is crafty
ing to notice that this sighting remark
is less frequently heard than formerly.
The recent opening of new place of
amusement in Algiers, and the enthusi-
astic crowds attending the perform
ances, show that our people know a
good article when they see it and fully
appreciate its advantages and do not
consider that anything can be too
good for Algiers 1t also shows that
there is no lack of enterprise, or conf
dence in the results, when successful
business men have the courage to build
up and equip such a theater as the new
MEMO, which is model of excellence
both as regards the building and the
class of entertainments offered.
In the same neighborhood as the new
theater there is another striking ex-
ample of the fact that nothing is too
good for our district
The crowds of patrons who are
drawn to these new enterprises gives
the best possible proof that when We
are given as good values, or even bet
ter, on this side of the river as CON-
pared with those offered on the city
side, We are just as quick to appreciate
them and avail ourselves of them as
are the people of any other district.

OF the city water service to the new

the benefits of lower insurance rates,

made for supplying water to herself, as
her premises and that of others are

that in making the extension provision
would be made for having pipes laid to
the vicinity OF Mrs. Leonard's property
and he contemplates no difficulty what.
