A blanket of snow from to Is

FAIR FIGHT LOST,
State Seal Goes to Hutchinson
Today.
Senate Passed Carey Bill by 25
to Is Vote.

Hutchinson was given the state fair
py the senate this morning. The vote
was 25 to Is in favor of the measure.
1t was known last evening that many
senators had Topped from the Topeka
to the Hutchinson ranks and it was not
deemed advisable by Senator Trout
man to wage any warfare and delay
more important bills on the calendar
The Bowman resolution intended to
wipe all state fair bills from the calen-
dar, received little aid in the acclama-
ton vote. 1t was given a clear field
for consideration by a ruling of Presi-
dent Ingalls,, but was not upheld on
the floor of the senate.
The Logan amendment giving the
people of the state a chance to vote
ON the location of a fair was voted
down for the second time and a. third
amendment was laid on the table.
The bill passed by the senate this
morning places the seal of the state on
the Hutchinson fair. 1t calls for no
appropriation. The original measure
asked for 900 for operating expenses
but the presence of a Topeka bill ask
ing for nothing and offering $40 900 as
a bonus. changed the facial expression
of the Carey measure. 1t is expected,
however, that an appropriation bill will
be submitted to the house and senate
soon.
At the beginning of the session three
state fair bills We're offered to the leg
islature-one by Troutman of Shawnee,
in behalf of Topeka. This city offered
to donate the grounds valued at 5000 600
and donate $4,000 for operating ex-
penses the next two years. Another
by Carey, of Reno, asking the state for
$751; 900 to pay salaries and premiums
and offering the grounds valued at
$175,000 The third by Logan, of Mitch
ell county, requiring any city having
grounds worth 100000 to bid for the
fair and submitting the proposition to
the vote of the electors of the state.
The Troutman and Logan measures
were defeated in the committee of state
and federal affairs. The Carey bill was
reported out and recommended for
passage. The house passed a similar
Hutchinson bill in the meantime and
this measure was passed on final vote
by the senate this morning.
The vote follows: For Hutchinson

says the report, and the an

opinion as an economist or sociologist,
the conclusion of the court being an
act of the legislation passed by the
judicial branch of the governmen in

Laws Are Urged.
No specific legislation is recon-
mended by the committee, but it urges
congress to devise laws as quickly as
possible which shall specially pre-
scribe certain conditions upon which
persons and corporations shall be per-
mitted to engage in commerce" The
conditions should be of a character
that will tend to preserve reasonable
competition, it adds, "or subsequent
competitive conditions and to compel
independence in both organization and
conduct. They should be so clear that
the business world can understand
them and go confidently forward,
guided by them"
The committee recommends that
certain definite forms of combina-
tions, agreements, contracts or pools,
within the twilight zone be definite
ly mentioned in the laws as unlawful.
1t declares that such legislation is nee
essary not only to give the attorney
general ground upon which to proceed
but also to give business interests a
standard by which they can work.

ably be made later by the committee

by Supreme Court.
new LAWS RECOMMENDED.
Legislation to Define COndi-
tiOns of Incorporation.
Report Says the People OF
United States Will Protest.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The supreme
court socalled modification of the
Sherman antitrust law to invoke tine
rule of reason in decisions upon re-
straint of trade, is attacked in V1gor-
Gus terms in a report presented to the
senate by the interstate commerce
committee today, which points out the
danger of uncontrolled and ungu1ded
judicial discretion and makes en-
phatic demand for amendments to the
Sherman law to remove from the
courts the power to determine what
are reasonable restraints on trade.
The report is the result OF the
committees long investiga ton into the
operation of the antitrust law. Ihe
committee recommends new laws TO
define exactly what combinations are
unlawful so that both the business
interests and the courts will have a
standard upon which to proceed. 1t
recommends federal interstate cor
poration commission, with power TO
supervise corporations, pass on ana
approve combinations and agree
ments, and take over the work of dis
solving illegal corporations such as
the Standard Oil company or the
American Tobacco company. Com
menting upon the decision of the su-
preme court in the Standard Oil case,
in which the rule of reason" was re-
ferred to, the report, written by Sena-
tor Cummins, says:
THE committee has full confidence
in the integrity, intelligence and pa
triotisrns of the supreme court of the
United States, but it is unwilling to
repose in that court, or any other
court, the vast and underlined powers
which it must exercise in the admin
istration of the statutes under the
rule which it has promulgated. 1t
substitutes the court in the place OF
congress and whenever the rule is in
voked the court does not administer
the law but makes the law. If it con-
tinues in force the federal courts will,
so far as restraint of trade is con-
cerned, make a common law for the
United States, just as the English
courts have made a common law for
England.
People Will Protest.
THE people of this country will not
permit the courts to declare policy
for them with respect to this subject.
If we do not promptly exercise our
legislative power the courts will suf
fer immeasurably in the loss of that
respect and confidence so essential to
their usefulness. 1t is inconceivable
that in a country that is governed by
written constitution and statute
laws that the courts can be permitted
to test each restraint of trade by the
economic standard which the individ-
ual members of the court may hap
pen to approve"
''As the antitrust statute is now
construed" adds the report, ''it is i'm
possible for any association of men,
however diligent they may be in seek
ing advice and however willing TO fol-
low it, to know whether what they are
doing or what they are about to do
will be ultimately found by the su-
preme court to be due or an undue
restraint of trade

Should Park Old
School Property

1t has been frequently suggested
that the school district should sell
or donate to the town of Talent the
old school property onw used as a
city hall. Under the new system of
making the school the civic center
of the community this might un-
doubtedly be done legally. At least
the district could sell it for a nomi-
nal sum. The ladies of the village
have suggested the parking of the
property and would undoubtedly do
their part as they have in everything
else, and in the past nearly every
move for healthier and more beau
tiful community anywhere has start
ed among the women, or with some
man whose wife was the power be-
hind the throne.
The old school building, if repaint-
ed and rearranged inside, might cas-
lily be made to form fine city hall
and also accommodate the reading
room, gymnasium, etc. The expense
of fixing up the outside would be
little and should be done as soon as
possible, as at present it is an eye
sore. CITIZEN.

Winter in Maine.

The following verses were written
by Mrs. Emma T. Biglow, who re-
sides in the far-off state of Maine,
who having communicated with
Elder and Mrs. Tabor of this city,
and having received copies of papers
from here, writes to say that she and
her family may decide to locate here:
I'm tired of winters so bitter cold,
And the bowling winds that blow;
I'd like to live in a winter cline
Where the climbing roses grow;
I'd leave my native state,
Leave the snowclad hills of Maine,
And then I'd go on to Oregon
And never return again.
There are rich and fertile valleys,
Where fruits and nuts are grown;
The thunder is far distant,
And the cyclone is unknown.
But here the winds are piercing,
The roads with snow are piled;
If could go on to Oregon,
I'd be still happy child.
And then I'd write my dearest
friends,
And urge them all to come,
Mid flowers fair, and balmy air,
To find happy home.
Shall we not leave this tickle cline
The distant prize be won?
Oh! how / long to see the skies
OF Sunny Oregon.
