REDUCED CLASS RATES
SUSTAINED IN DECISION
Supreme Court UphoIds Com
merce Body's Right to
Examine Claim.

Reversing the Commerce Court, the
Supreme Court today permitted the order
of the interstate commerce commission
for reduced class rates from New Orleans
to Mobile and other Alabama interior
points to stand effective.
The theory advocated by the govern
ment that the interstate commerce COM
mission has absolute jurisdiction over
evidence in rate cases to the exclusion of
the courts, particularly the Commerce
Court, was struck down by the Supreme
Court in deciding that the Commerce
Court had a right to examine a claim
that there was no relevant evidence pre-
scented to the commission upon which it
could have based it's order in this case.
Could Review Order.
Justice Lamar, in announcing the opin-
ion today. said an examination of the
statutes showed that in case where an
unfair hearing had been granted by the
commission. or where no substantial evil
dence had been put into the record. the
courts could review the commissions or
der and evidence.
Having held that the Commerce Court
could review the order in this case to see
if any substantial evidence had been pro-
duced the Supreme Court decided, how
ever, the Commerce Court had erred in
finding none had been presented
The case involved contest between the

CONDUCT THAT HORRIFIES
WASHINGTON SNOBS

[Honore Willisie in Harper's Weekly,
September 49,
There is a renaissance in Washington.
1t has to do with a number of things,
but mostly it touches the rebirth of sim
plicity. One spring morning, Mr.. Lanes
office attendant opened the door softly
and bowed profoundly. The President
Mr.. Secretary" he said. 1t was the
first time that President had been known
to visit the Department of the Interior!
Washington does not approve of inform
ality like this. Washington prefers
forms and functions. 1t likes bowing
and scraping and pulling of the fore
lock.
One evening, a hot one in July, Mr..
Houston, the Secretary of Agriculture,
might have been seen on the Raleigh
Roof Garden in Washington. He was
dining with some friends, in a quiet,
contented sort of way, quite a human
way, in fact. A man belonging to the
species known in Washington as Govern
ment Employee-that is his salary
is less than So, 900 year-eyed Secretary
Houston with a mixture of awe and dis
gust. "Isn't that awful" he groaned.
"You could tell that he belongs to Bry-
ans party! How can an official of the
Cabinet expect to keep his influence and
dignity, when he lets the public see him
eat and walk"

MOVING PICTURES
INSPECTED

The moving picture shows have be-
come big business in Ohio. Many Of
them are reckless in the kind of pictures
shown. Many of them are immoral and
degrading Governor Cox asked the
legislature to enact law to regulate and
censor all picture shows in Ohio The
law was pass providing for commission
to examine and pass on all pictures to be
used in Ohio The law provides that the
picture shows pay a license and stand
the expense of the inspection. All the
reputable picture show men agreed to
the new law. Some of the disreputable
fellows who wanted to use disreputable
pictures tried to defeat the bill.
The tax payer is not burdened
with extra taxes but is protected
against bad picture shows. Govern
or Cox insists that all business that
needs regulation shall bear the ex-
pense of regulation without adding
to the expense of the tax payer.
This is new idea in government
but it is finding favor with the people.

WHAT MIR. BRYAN
SHOULD Do
[Ellis O. Jones in "Life"]

LTl1lo w. JOllSo III 'TAAS
Mr.. Bryan should take the advice OF
his Republican friends and relinquish
the post Of Secretary of State, What we
require in that portfolio, which is pro-
perly the fountain head of the diplomacy
of the entire country is a little more
hypocrisy, a little more sophistry, a
little more indircctuess. Mr.. Bryan is
much too direct in his methods. He is
much given in taking the public into his
confidence. He doesn't know how to
hold cards in his sleeve. He is too rea-
dy to do what he thinks is right without
regard to its effect on the sensibilities Of
Republican editors who have been used
to something else. If his salary is not
large, he should not seek to exc it out
by methods which are open, above board
and above suspicion. He should put up
the conventional American bluff and say
nothing about it. Instead of talking TO
Chautauquas, he should use some ad-
vance government information to take
fier or two in Wall street, or he should
help some of his relatives to grab valua-
BILE bits of public property, or he should
establish an umbilical connection with
railroad corporation or group Of finan-
ciers or a protected manufacture. He
should act as if he had never done an
honest days work in his life. He should
learn and take advantage of the fact that
the more devious a route an income
takes the more honored its possessor is
apt to be.

PRIVATE MONOPOLY I'm
GIFTS OF NATURE

journal and Messenger (Baptist)
August !.
The Wisconsin water power bill, which
became law by the governors sigma
ture on Saturday, specifically announ-
ces that the state does not admit the ex-
istence of any private property in water
or the use of water, or that the riparion
owner has any private rights i'll the ener-
gy of running stream. Water, like the
air, belongs to the people, and must al
ways be free.
The Wisconsin law provides that all
franchises for the development of water
power must be granted through the State
railroad commission, which is to admin
ter the act. Franchises for the use of
more than ESQ horse power are to be
granted only to corporations coming
under the State public utility law. Here
the Commission has power to determine
the reasonableness of their charges.
Water power is gift of nature. That
private corporations should monopolize
it, is wholly contrary to natural property
rights. With the development of means
of transmission of power by electricity,
the possibilities of water power became
and the rapid increase of pop
ulation has rendered it very valuable. It

A STEP FORWARD
TAKEN
THE Public, Chicago. ]

The Public, Chicago.
Democrats of all parties will hail the fl
nal passage of tariff reduction bill. At
last step in the right direction has been
taken. At last a seriously intended blow
has been delivered by Congress at the
iniquitous protective system. 1t is a
triumph over the forces of Privilege.
1t is a victory of common honesty over
disgraceful attempts to violate campaign
pledges. It strengthens hope for further
advance. Credit and thanks are due
President Wilson, but for whose firm
stand it smuch to be feared that many
Democratic Representatives and Senators
would have initiated the disgraceful con-
duct of sugar r-interest-controlled Senators
and Representative from Louisiana.
Credit is due to Senator LaFollete and to
Senator Poindexter who did not allow
their progressive tendencies to be be linn
tied by partisan feeling. Equal credit is
due the two Republican and four Pro-
gressive Representatives and indepen-
dent Congressman William Kent, who
supported the bill in the House. The
presence in Congress of such men is in
itself sign of progress.

HEADED TOWARD THE
SINGLE TAX
CONSTRUCTION Record.

By state law of 1918, favoring people
who improve real estate, Pittsburg and
Scranton are the first cities in the United
States to out the tax rate on buildings
radically lower than the rate on land,
following the plan which has attracted so
much attention in the cities of Western
Canada. The principle has its origin in
Budapest, Hungary, where the plan has
been in vogue for many years.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1913-09-26

1t will not do to pride ourselves too
much on our progressiveness. The step
just taken is after all only a short one.
1t takes US only from a great iniquity to-
ward a lesser one; from a monstrous sys-
TEN of robbery committed for one pur-
pose toward slightly milder system for
a different purpose; from an unjust pro-
tective tariff toward but not even to, an
unjust tariff for revenue only. We are
still in a very backward state. 1t has re-
quired a struggle of years to take this
step which is so short that rejoicing over
it would be ridiculous were it not for the
formidable opposition that had to be
overcome. Nothing shows more plainly
how slight has been our progress in polit
ical economy compared with advance in
other sciences. Nothing shows better
that economically we are still in the dark
ages. 1t shows that the political econ
omy taught in most colleges and serious
ly discussed i'll legislative halls is to the
true principles of that science what Ptol-
emaic astronomy is to Copernican, or
MEDIEVAL alchemy is to modern chem
istry.

Advertisers
Are In Good
Company
BY HOLLAND.

MR. BUSINESS MAN, have
NA you ever thought that
advertising puts you in good
company? 1t is an old saying
that n man is known by the
company he keeps. When
you join the ranks Of the ad-
vertlsers you join the ranks
of the biggest and most sue
cessful merchants and manu-
facturers of the world.
How many concerns can
you name in Chicago, in New
York, in Kansas City, in Bos-
ton, in any large city in the
country? Name them and you
will notice that all are big
advertisers and all are lead
ers in their lines. Ask your
friends to name the most sue
cessful merchants they know
in the big cities and in each
case the name Of n great ad-
vertiser will be mentioned.
The same rule is true of
smaller cities and towns. The
successful merchants are the
advertisers. The advertiser
stamps himself as one hav-
ing confidence in himself and
his wares, as one proud Of his
calling and seeking publicity
and the test of patronage.

Ohlau, a suburb of Breslau. has been
used for long time as center of

by 72 school girls. One of Ike most
deplorable features of the scandal is
said to be that the parents of the girls
not only winked at the immortality,
but in some instances actually pro-
NOTED the relations of the men with
their daughters. After IA men had
been arrested for their connection witG
the scandal, eight others committed
suicide. The latter included military
