coLoREp NEWSPAPERS AND
OTHER enterprises.

There is one thing that our people
as race should know, and the sooner
they know, the better the race. 1t
is very essential that business enter.
prises that are already established
should be supported, and others es-
tablished. 1t should not be necessary
for me to tell you why. II you read
the colored papers you already know,
remarkc a writer in an exchange.
It is my purpose in this short article
to tell you a few reasons why you
should pay your colored newspaper
bills and bid them Godspeed. First,
colored papers have in common an
interest in you, in every phase Of race
progress. Your success in church,
school, business, society and politics,
is also the new papers success. When
you, as an enterprising man or wom-
an, aspiring boy or girl, refuse to sup
port your own paper, you strike your
self and race a great blow.
Your boys and girls are coming
out Of school every year by the hun.
dreds. Unlike boys and girls of
other races, there is no job awaiting
them. And II they try to make one
for themselves and others in the
newspaper and others in the news
paper and newspaper business, would
you be cruel enough to thwart their
efforts by refusing to pay an honest
bill for years subscription or a
sack Of flour?
You must patronize your colored
merchants and newspapers, or for
ever make a beggar out of your race.
You say, perhaps, the newspapers is
not good one. Why not? Don't
you think 1t Is because you withhold
your financial support THE Seattle

Pipe LINE CASE
UP FOR ACTION |.
Highest Court Hears Argu=
ment Of Government.
ASSERTS LAW IS VALID

Solicitor General Davis Says Statute
Is Aimed at Monopolies and Would
Compel Concerns Operating Utility
to Accept Business From Al Oil
. Producers.
Washington, Sept. 25.-The federal
government has begun it's fight in the
United States supreme court to estab-
lish the constitutionality of the pro.
e, vision of the Interstate commerce act
making pipe lines common carriers.
In his first brief as solicitor general
OF the United States John w. Davis
vigorously assails the preliminary in
junction issued on the ground of I'M
constitutionality by the commerce
court against the order of the inter-
state commerce commission directing
pipe lines to file rate tariffs as COM
mon carriers.
' Control of pipe lines by large inter-
ests with power TO compel small pro-
ducers to sell their oil or wells to pipe
line owners at the latters price is the
source of monopoly at which con-
gress aimed to strike by opening the
pipe lines to the reasonable and
equitable use of all, contends the So
hcitor general.
Aimed at Standard Oil.
1.-THE due process" clause of the con-
stitution is not Violated, he declares,
because it does not prevent congress
from regulating commerce; nor does
such legislation violate the constitu-
ttonal prohibition against taking prop
erty for public use without compensa-
ton, because the users of the pipe
lines as common carriers must pay a
reasonable rate.
1T is indisputably clear" he con-
tinues, that the evil aimed at by con.
gress in making pipe lines common
carriers was the monopoly of the oil
business by the Standard Oil COM
pany, monopoly largely, if not chief
ly, due to the ownership or control by
that corporation of 80 per cent of the
pipe lines.
1T is idle to suggest" argues Mr..
Davis, that individual well owners
or refners ought to build pipe lines of
their own. Every farmer might equal
~ as we'll construct a railroad and
every cottage have it's private gas
plant"
