RATE CASE
South Dakota Resumes Fight
for Lower Passenger
Rates

Sioux Falls. Sept. 2~7.-South Dako-
ia fight with the railroads for a lower
passenger rate was resumed in the fed
eral court after being held in allegiance
for several years pending the decision
by the United States supreme court
of the Minnesota and other rate
cases.
The matter came up before Judge
Willard in the federal court upon the
petition Of the Omaha railroad for a
permanent injunction TO restrain the
state railway commission and the at
torney general from enforcing the law
for a 81 or 2 cent passenger rate.
c. G. Wright of Chicago, general
counsel for the Omaha railroad and A.
X. Gardner of Huron, attorney for
the company in South Dakota repre-
sented the railroad and Attorney
General johnson, assistant Attorney
General Dougherty who il also attor-
ney for the railroad commission
presented the states side of the a-gu-
ment. The members Of the state
railroad commission we're also present
in court.
TIE oral arguments OF each side
did not all the points In the case
IA the court announced that he would
receive written biiefs. which are to be
filed within two weeks. Both the
railroad company and the state have
their bi iefs almost ready and but
little work will be required to COM
plete them.
The method of establishing the ex-
pense Of operating the passenger SER
vice is the chief point Of difference be-
tween the state and the railroad com
pany. The company has offered two
methods. the train milesRe basis and
the gross earnings basic for computing
the cost OF the passenger service and
the amount Of inter est that II pays on
the money invested in it. Using these
methods the company claim that il
the q cent rate or the Q cent rate is
enforced it will not earn q reasonable
return ON the money invested and that
the Law will therefore operate to con
iscate the property of the company
which il contrary to the constitution.
The state contends that neither of
these methods are proper az they give
different results when applied. The
state also produces hypothetical cases
to prove the injustice Of the method.
In estimating the passenger earn
ings the railroad takes the total pas
senger receipts and from this 10 taken
the expenses which are known to be-
long to the passenger service. Then
comes the problem Of dividing the
other expense which cannot be charged
directly to the freight or passenger
service and also the estimating Of what
portion Ut the property Of the company
aside from the rolling stock shall be
credited to each division and dividing
the intra state and inter state traffic.
The railroads by usiny their own
methods seek to prove that they can.
not operate passenger trains at =
ploit ct les than the present rate.
The state contends that these methods
are contrary 10 the rules laid down In

Pictorial Review: This is a straight

young girls. We hope mothers will
read it also. but we want them to
pass it on to their husbands without

jolt. And this is a jolt handed from
one father to another.
We are not given to deploring the
passing of "the good old days" We
believe that many decayed and useless
customs have been cast aside, and that
today carries much to admire and re
joice over. But we have made a mis-
take in letting our girls grow up too
fast. There is neither meekness nor
