To Reduce Cost of Livins.

According to J. W. Newman,
Kentucky's Commissioner of Ag-
riculture, the high cost of living
IN Louisville and surrounding
country will be given a knockout
blow bya plan he has in mind.
The project il. to bring the pro-
Queer and consumer together
through means of the parcel post
and cutting out the middleman,
and, what is more to the point,
the middleman's profits that now
are borne by the consumer. Com
missioner Newman will put the
plan in effect January l, when a
bureau will be established at
Louisville. The person in charge
of the bureau will advertise for
consumers and producers.
The housewife who wants to
buy eggs, butter, vegetables-in
short any country produce, may
have, on application, list of
producers who are willing to
sell. Names of prospective pur-
chasers, also, will be available to
the farmer and truck gardener
who have produce for disposal.

Court Decides Against l.. & N.

In denying the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad Company an
Injunction against the rate-mak-
ing powers of the Kentucky State
Railroad Commission, the Su-
preme Court Tuesday literally
threw the railroads case out of
court. Seldom has the tribunal
been more vigorous. Justice
Hughes read the opinion, in
which the entire court concurred,
virtue of which intrastate rates
made by the Kentucky State
Commission may be upset by
railroads only when they are
proved to be confscatory.
The high court decided every
point made by the Louisville &
Nashville against that company.

Complaints Against Passenger Rates.

Two more complaints were
filed Tuesday before the State
Railroad Commission, asking
that the Louisville Il Nashville
railroad be required to reinstate
the rate of 500 ,or 1000 mile
mileage books on the Lexington
Il Eastern and Louisvills & At
lantic branches. Citizens of
Jackson and Beattyville filed the
complaints, which are similar to
those filed by wholesalers of
Lexington and the Lexington
Council, United Commercial
Travellers. Thew allege that when
the two roads were independent
the price for 1000 miles books
was 500 and that the l.. & N. has
raised the price on these branch
es since its acquisition of them
to $25.
They might also ask that the
merger be dissolved, for it will
be just so from the beginning to
the end. Competition is the
life of trade. The trainers of our
Constitution had this in mind
when they wrote Section POI of
of our Constitution which says
no road can buy parallel or
competing line.

Referring to our article which
appeared in last week Times in
which we call attention to the
high freight rates that must ex-
ist at Irvine, the Tribune of that
city says:
"We are not familiar with the
rates on either.foad, hut we paid
at the rate of 4.S0 per cwt. on a
shipment of paper from Cincin-
natl a few days,ago, which is q
pretty fair rate, all thing. con-
sidered. The Times is wasting
its pity, however, if it is bestow-
ing it on the merchant; Jones is
the man that pays the freight,
and will continue to do so, wheth-
er reasonable or extortionate,
Notwithstanding the fact that
Jones, by which we mean the ul-
innate consumer, has it in his
power to regulate matters if he
will only pull himself together
and quit electing sap headed fell
lows to imporfant Offices like
that of Representative and Rail-
road Commissioner.
