late these rates has been upheld by
the supreme court of the United States
in the Minnesota freight and passen-
ger rate cases.
At the same time the court laid
down far reaching principles govern
ing the valuation of railroad property
for rate making purposes, and accord
ing to these held that the state of
Minnesota would confiscate the prop
erty of the Minneapolis & St. Louis
Railroad company by its maxim UNI
freight and 2-cent passenger fare law.
1t enjoined the state from enforcing
these laws, as to this road, for the
present.
In the cases of the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern. however. the
court held that these roads had failed
to show that the rates were ''unrea-
sequently reversed the United States
district court of Minnesota. which had
enjoined their enforcement as both
confiscatory and a burden on inter-
state commerce.
Most Important Decision.
The decision, regarded as one of the
most important ever announced by
the court, had been under considera-
ton for fourteen months. Railroad
commissions from eight states and the
governors of all the states filed briefs
in support of the state in the cases,
recognizing that the principles in
volved affected them ALL
Rate cases from Missouri Arkan-
sas, oregon, Kentucky and West Vir-
ginia were not decided, but the points
announced in the Minnesota cases are
regarded as governing them generally.
These cases probably will be disposed
of tomorrow, when the court will hold
another session, as it will also Mon
day, June 16, the final day of ad-
journment for the term.
The criticism of the apportionment
of value between the interstate and
intrastate business on a gross revenue
basis and the apportionment of ex-
penses by regarding intrastate freight
business two and a half times as
expensive as interstate business was
regarded here as favorable to the state
of Missouri in its fight to uphold the
validity of the maximum freight and
2-cent passenger law enacted by it.
Similar confidence was inspired in
advocates of the Arkansas state rate
regulations, but all recognized that
the statement of the court that each
case of alleged confiscation must rest
on its own bottom might mean the
setting aside of the Missouri and Ar
kansas laws.
May Uphold Virginia Law.
The states of oregon and Kentucky
were regarded as almost certain to
win their rate cases involving the val
idity of state freight rates, because in

5000 cattle arrived here today, conSe-
quently prices ruled strong and trading
was active. This moderate run is attrib-
uted to the fact that sufficient rains have
fallen the latter part of last week in
many parts of Kansas City territory
causing feeders to withhold shipments.
Heavy native steers are selling up to $3.50,
light weight steers and yearlings, which
are being eagerly sought for by the pack

steers brought 1925 here today, cows $3.50

calves up to $10.50 Stockers and feeders
prices remain firm, sales mostly ranging
from $500 to $7.75. A feature today is the
large run in the quarantine division, over
1000 cattle and calves arriving here, most

ranging from s6.75 to $500.
After having experienced a big slump
last week, hogs rallied again today and
the market closed strong. Top $780, bulk

of the supply, but it does not appear that
any disastrous break is imminent.
The sheep market is also in a flourishing

FRATERN|T|ES ALL right
Amherst Prexy Says Boys
Must Get Into Game OF j;
Conflicting Ideas. u

CHICAGO, January 24.-Dr. Alexander
Meik!ejohn president of Amherst College.
speaking before the Amherst Club of Chi
cago last night. gave his approval to COL
lege fraternities, although he blended his
approval with a warning.
THE fraternity in the small college is
the best form Of social organization IL you
have practically all of the students in the
fraternities." he said; then there is no
question of so-cal.ed superiority"
AS warning he said that the frater-
nifty is justified when 1t is good for the
college
President Meiklejohn said that the
minds of youths should be disassociated
with the idea that scholar forms an un-
important part In a busy world.
Il think We are leading our boys astray
by too often defining a scholar as a man
Of peace" he said. NO "reminiscences or
ruthlessness can compare with the mind
OF the scholar when he is at war with
ideas. Boys must learn that life is not
properly lived unless they get into the
game of conflicting ideas: that there Is
fighting in everything. no matter whether
business, medicine, law or religion"
