SUPREME COURT
ANTITRUST PLAN
ForeshadoWs Decision Which
Makes Unfair Prices a Crime
CAN'T STIFLE COMPETITION
Corporations Cannot Cut Rates on
Products to Destroy Competition
or Sell on Lower Basis in
Different Localities.

Washington.-A new form of anti
trust legislation came TO light in the
Supreme Court when at the conclusion
Of arguments submitted on behalf of
the Central Lumber Co. in a suit
against the State OF South Dakota, the
court notified the attorneys for the
State that it did not care to hear their
arguments. ~"
The case involves the validity OF a
statute which defines and provides a
penalty for the crime of unfair dis
crimination." 1t makes 1t an offense
for persons or corporations engaged
in production, manufacture or distrl-
button of commodities in general use,
Intentionally for the purpose of de-
stroying the competition of any regu-
larly established dealer in such com
modify or to prevent the competition
OF any person who in good faith in
tends and attempts to become such
dealer, to discriminate between differ
ent sections, communities or cities by
selling such commodity at a lower
rate in one section than in another"
Allowance is made in the statute for
the equalization Of prices by consider
ing the difference in cost of transport
alton and other necessary expenses
for production or distribution.
BY its action the U. S. Supreme
Court plainly indicated that 1t would
hold the statute to be valid. The Cen
trail Lumber Co. was proceeded against
criminally under the State statute.
The case was carried to the highest
court of South Dakota and the con-
stitutionality of the law upheld. The
case then came to the Supreme Court
on a writ of error.

Doctor j A. Nelson, the bee expert
OF the government department OF
agriculture. has secured a new va
riety of honey bee by crossing the
stingless South American bee with
the Cyprian queen. The new variety
is stingless, and the doctor expects
that farmers soon will be able TO do
away with gloves and masks in
handling their honey makers: but he
ndmits that the honey of the sting
less bee is not so good as that OF the
bees at present in favor with culti-
vators He hopes to make other COM
binations that will improve the
honey. Till he does. the chances are
that apiarists will go on risking
stings.

OINEYVlILE. RHODE ISLAND
THE ARMY MULE.

One of the most interesting fea-
lures OF the late army maneuvers In
Connecticut was the experimental en-
ployment, on an extensive scale. OF
the motortruck. More than 1000
tons of freight were handled through
the bases OF supply during the eight
days OF mimic war, says the Phila-
delphia Press Some of the trucks
were geared to run as fast as 80
miles an hour, and It was In the work
OF conveying expeditiously the bag
gage from the bases OF supplies to
the secondary bases that these trucks,
according 10 expert opinion, con-
clusively demonstrated that they had
displaced the mule-train in this field.
The chief quartermaster, Colonel
Bellinger, is reported by the Motor
Age as saying: II am firmly con-
vinced that the army truck has come
to say" He added. however. these
significant words: Where the roads
are suitable II cannot be superseded"
There's the rub Who may say when
the roads shall be suitable" In actu-
al warfare? 1t sounds we'll to speak
OF the capacity OF the mule-wagon as
only 5000 pounds with a haul OF by
20 miles a day, as against 80 miles
for the truck; and. after reference
to the supreme Importance OF speed
In ambulance service. to declare that
the mule is likely TO be placed hence
forth in the list OF obsolete army ac-
cessories. But we note this saving
clause: only in the very limited con-
dition of impossible roads is 1t i'm
practical to use the truck along the
actual battlefront"
