]. S. FIGHTS TO UPHOLD
PIPE LINE PROVISION
Common Carrier Statute In
tended to Strike at Monopoly,
Says Solicitor General.

The federal government today began its
Fight in the United States Supreme Court
to establish the constitutionality of the
provision 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 injunction issued
on the ground of unconstitutionality by
the Commerce Court, against the order
of the interstate commerce commission
directing pipe lines to file rate tariffs as
common 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 latter's price is the
source of a monopoly at which Congress
aimed to strike by opening the pipe lines
to the reasonable and equitable use OF all,
contends the solicitor general
Sees No Violation.
The due process clause of the Con-
stitution is not violated. he declares. be-
cause 1t does not prevent Congress from
regulating commerce.: nor does such leg
islation violate the constitutional prohibit
ton against taking property for public
use without compensation, because the
users of the pipe lines as common car
riers must pay a reasonable rate.
1T is indisputably clear" he con-
tinues, that the evil aimed at by Con-
gress i'm making. pipe lines common
carriers was the monopoly Of the oil
business by the Standard Oil Company
a monopoly largely IL not chieny due
to the ownership or control by that
corporation of 80 per cent Of the pipe
lines"
Private Lines Not Feasible.
1T is idle to suggest, argues Mr.
Davis that individual well owners or
refiners ought to build pipe lines Of
their own Every farmer might equally
a. well construct railroad and every
cottage have it's private gas plant"
1t is largely the use of the potent
instrument OF transportation, he says,
that has built up these enormous
ca combinations THE evidence in (he
Standard Oil case proves It, Congress
has struck down the monopoly full
grown. 1t now seeks to destroy the
source from which it sprang.
Pipe lines against which the proceed
ings are directed are the Standard Oil
Company. Standard Oil Company of
Louisiana, the Ohio Oil Company. the
Prairie OIL and Gas Company, the Uncle
Sam Oil Company and Robert d. Ben

NO FORT AT CAPE HENRY
AT EXISTING LAND PRICES
Representative Sherley Says Real
Estate Dealers Must Lower
Their Demands.

Representative Sherley. chairman of
the fortihcations subcommittee. has an
nounced that his committee would
make absolutely no appropriation for the
proposed fort at Cape Henry, which the
War Department has intended to be the
king pin In the protective scheme for the
defense of Washington, Baltimore and
the Chesapeake bay in general, unless
Virginia real estate dealers lower the
prices for land in the vicinity of the
proposed fort. This. he said YESTERDAY is
final, and when the subcommittee gets
to work to make up it's bill for presen-
tation early next session there will be no
money provided for early construction
work OH the fort despite the War De-
partment claim that this is one of the
most necessary structures on the coast.
Officers Back Up Mr.. Sherley.
Army officers back up Representative
Sherley in his announcement. Mr..
Sherley explained that Col. WinsIow of
the Engineer Corps of the army has been
in the vicinity of Cape Henry endeavor-
ing to make deal with the real estate
men there which will enable the govern
ment to purchase the necessary land for
s1.3. 900, at which it is valued by the gov
ernmeEt Representative Sherley also said
that Col. W.nslow intended to issue a
statement on the subject
The high prices at which the land
has been held in the vicinity of the
fort has been a sore spot with Con-
gress and with the War Department
for long time. 1t has been under
stood at the capital that the owners
of the land and the real estate men
have believed that the government
would eventually pay any price at all
for the land Representative Sher-
ley's attitude which is applauded by
the members Of the appropriations COM
mittee generally. threw the situation into
a deadlock.
