MOORE SCORES FREIGHT
RATES; CHARGES FAIL To
EXPLAIN HIGH FOOD COST

~Atlanta's freight rates are too high
all along the line" says Harry T.
Moore, head of the Atlanta Freight
Bureau, and before the Interstate
Commerce Commission now is a case
in which we hope for a favorable de-
cision, which will cut practically ali
freight rates into the city.
THE rate on -four from Ohio River
points. for instance is AS cents a bar
rel. with this kind Of rate, flour
ought 10 be cheaper in Chicago than
here"
Some Facts Not Explained.
Atanta's freight rates, however do
not explain some Of the differences in
the price Of various commodities
mentioned in the Government statis-
tics which tend TO prove Atlanta one
of the most expensive cities for the
housekeeper in the United States.
The Atlanta Freight Bureau, for
instance. quotes the rate on fresh
beef a 60 cents per 100 pounds from

Retailers Deny Their
Profit Margin Is High.

Atlanta can not blame the high cost
of living on the retail merchants, in
the opinion of leading wholesalers.
Retailers In Atlanta are not charg-
ing an excessive margin Of profit,
says w. A. Albright. vice president Of
the Oglesby Grocery Company. Some
few Of them, by the closest possible
management and the most conserva-
tive business methods, are making
money. More are not.
q do not think prices here are ex-
cessive. considering what things cost
BY the time they arrive in the city.
The cost Of doing business, retail. has
Increased possibly 100 per cent in a
quarter century in Atlanta. Rents
are much higher The public de-
mands cleaner, more attractive stores.
Though probably worth IT, it costs
money to keep an immaculate gro

" increased investment.

stances when judges over TO years Of age had been compelled to work all their lives for a mere livelihood, and how at their deaths the community had to be called upon to support the family.
 The president, recalled the speak CT, receives $75,0O0 a year and most of his expenses, whereas our supreme court judges are given only $12,5oo. This latter salary, said the speaker, should be raised @to $25.0o0, that of the circuit judges to 1000 and that of the district judges of $10,o00. MT. Taft recognized that it is not neces- sary to allow the employees of the gov ernment what they, as good lawyers. could earn in private practice, but 1t is important that a sufficient salary be given to insure the procuring of the best ability and so as not to disgrace the incum bents financially.
 Professor Taft discussed the alleged legislative powers of the courts as a fa11acy in the minds of the people en- gendered by dennag gogic enthusiasts.
 In this regard, continued the pro- lessor. it is often claimed that the courts do not keep abreast of public opinion, but it will be found that usually the public incfters, in reciting this argument, dwell on specific in stances and not on the general ex- perience of an average judge or law yer, the prevalent conformity to pulp lie sentime ment.
 In regard to the recall of judicial decisions, MT. Taft instanced the re- cent admission of Arizona to the union, when he had vetoed the con stitution of the incoming state. be- cause that measure was included
 The trouble today with our modern courts, concluded Professor Taft, is not with corruption. with which the present reforms are chiefly concerned but with the unnecessary and disas- trous delays and expense of litigation
 The reason for our neglect in root ing out this evil of our day MT. Taf1 attributed to the lack of sensationaI- ism in the movement, which did not call for or support demagogic action

present day manner of life, which tends to nervousness, it seems to us quite reasonable, and in no way inn proper, to pass such law as limiting a days labor"
 Again upon the reargun ent, the court said, in it's second opinion:
 The concentration of the human Rpind and muscle, for many consecu" tive hours upon the watching and naa' nipulation of rapidly moving mach1n- cry, tends to weary the body of the worker, and to weaken his reasoning faculties, and, ultimately. to perma- nently impair his physical and men tai efficiency. Yet, competition fore ed the laborer to take the risk or starve.''
 The urgent question now arises whether the ultimate authority, ths Supreme Court of the United States, will sanction the advanced stand of the Mississippi Supreme Court and thus open the way for legislation in other states.
 CounseI for the lumber company cited the decision in the bakers case as the controlling precedent for hold ing invalid the Mississippi ten-hour consideration of that case fails to show us that it should control the case before us.''
 Eight years have now elapsed since the bakers case was decided. In the interval, with this decision as prece- dent. it has been considered practical ly impossible to obtain relief by law from the twe1ve-hour day still preva- lent in many industries for men, es- pecially in those continuously operat- ed.
 Now the Supreme Court of Missis sippi re-opens the question and in vites a new answer. Two more years will probably intervene before the val idity of the Mississippi law will come before the Supreme Court of the Unit ed States, and the question of linitinE mems hours of labor by law .wil again, after a lapse of ten years, bs presented to the highest tribunal o. | the land.
