Enforcement of Rate
Laws Dismissed.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. December 10
The state of Missouri won final victory
in the two-cent railroad passenger ana
maximum freight rate cases today, when
Judge Smith Mcpherson of Red OAK,
Iowa. following the mandate of the
United States Supreme. Court. dismissed
without prejudice the cases filed By
thirteen railroads enjoining the state
from enforcing the rate laws. The high
or court sustained the validity of poth
laws and ordered the cases dismissed
Judge Mcpherson also refused to retain
Jurisdiction In the federal court as asked
by the railroads. AS a result shippers
and travellers may bring suit to cover eN-
cess rates paid during the time the in
functions were in force.
These charges are estimated to be in
excess Of 31O,OOO.OOO. Judge Mcpherson
ordered costs aggregating $2J,Uo as
sessed against the railroads
Overcharges Total $4,000, 900.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-. December 20
John f. Barker. attorney general OF
Missouri when Informed of Judge Nc
Pherson's order, estimated that over
charges collected by the railroads during
the life of the injunctions reversed by the
Supreme Court to be about $1SWO.OoO
He announced that he would bring suit
against all the railroads of the state TO
recover excess passenger and freight pay
ments.
After making the announcement the
attorney general filed suit In the circuit
court here against the Missouri Pacific
railroad. asking an accounting from that
road. which, he alleged. owes the peo-
pie of Missouri more than $2,OOO.OOO. The
petition asks that the railroads be COM
PEELED to pay this money into court for
the benefit of those who have paid ex-
cess fares.

Chief Scout Executive James f. West

to the Boy Scouts of America:
AT this season, when good will toward
men receives articulation, it Is with pleas
ure that we of the national headquarters
office express in this way our sincere ap-
probation Of the good wishes that are
coming to us daily in letters from scout
leaders and scouts in all parts of the
United States.
Ours is a movement which is essen
TALLY dependent upon good will. No
scout could ever develop as he might; no
scout leader could ever have success and
satisfaction in his work; the national Of
ficers would be unable to give the serv-
ices they do with the means they have. if
the spirit which is commonly called the
Christmas spirit did not prevail through
out the year.
Yet this is an appropriate time for US
to express our thanks and our best wishes
to all who are to work for the benefit of
the boys, and We do so most heartily"
