Confiscation Issue.

g. On the issue Of confiscation: The
rate-making power is u legislative
power and necessarily implies a range
OF legislative discretion. The court
substitute It's Judgment for that Of
the legislature or OF the commission
lawfully constituted by 1t, az to mat
ters within the province, Of either.
The question is whether In prescrlb-
ing q general schedule Of rates In
voiving the prohtableness OF the In
trastate operations Of the carrier,
taken as a whole, the state has su-
perseded the constitutional limit by
making the rates confiscatory. The
property Of the railroad corporation
has been devoted 70 a public use.
But the state has not seen 1T to un-
dertalse the service Itself and the pri-
vate property embarked In It is not
placed at the mercy OF legislative ca
price, 1t rests secure under the con-
stitutional protection which extends
not merely to the title. but to the
right to receive just compensation for
the service given to the public;
10. In the cases OF the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern compan-
les on the examination of estimates
OF value and methods OF apportion-
ment. It is concluded that the proof
is insufficient to Justify finding that
the rates were conhscatory, and the
DEGREES are reversed with instruc-
tions to dismiss the bill In each case
without prejudice,
H. In the case Of the Minneapolis
& st. Louis Railroad company 1t is
found In view of the special facts
appearing that the margin Of error
In the estimates and calculations was
not sufficient to affect the result
The decree in that case, adjudging the
rates to be confiscatory. Is therefore
affirmed with the modification that the
members of the railroad and ware
house commission and the attorney
general OF the state may apply TO
the court by bill or otherwise as they
may be advised to further order or
decree whenever II shall appear that
by reason OF change In circum-
stances the rates fixed by the states
acts and orders arc sufficient to Yield
TO this company reasonable compen-
sation for the services rendered.

Minnesota Upheld.

l. Unedr the established principles
governing state action, Minnesota did
not transcend the limits of Its au-
thority In prescribing the rates here
involved, assuming them to be rea-
sonable intrastate rates. 1t exercised
an authority appropriate to its terri
torial jurisdiction and not opposed to
any action thus far taken by con-
gress.
8. The interblending of operations
in the conduct of interstate and local
business by interstate carriers and
the exigencies that are said to arise
with respect TO the maintenance OF
interstate rates by reason OF their
relation to intraState rates are con-
siderations for the practical judgment
Of congress. II the situation has be-
come such that adequate regulation
Of interstate rates cannot be MAIN
tained without imposing requirements
with respect to such intrastate rates
OF interstate carriers Is substantially
affect interstate rates. 1t Is for con-
gress to determine within the limits
of its constitutional authority over
interstate commerce and It's instru-
ments. the measure Of the regulation
it should supply. It Is the function
OF the court to interpret and apply
the law already enacted, but not un-
der the guise Of construction to pro-
vide g more comparative scheme of
regulation that congress has decided
upon Nor in the absence Of fed
eral action may effect be denied to
the laws Of the state enacted within
the field which II Is entitled to oc-
cupy until its authority is limited
through the cxertion by congress OF
It's paramount constitutional power.

New Unit Necessary.

In crtic!sing the apportionment OF
Valua ton between Interstate and intra-
state business upon the gross revenue
basis" Justice Hughes said that the di-
vision should be made according to the
use that is made Of the property. He
declared that this use could not be meas
ured by the return, when the return it.
self was In question. "If the return be
taken as the basis" said he. Chen the
validity OF the states reduction OF rates
would have to be tested by the very
rates which the state denounced as ex-
orbitant." He added that II would nos
be impossible to ascertain some kind of
units by which the property could be d.
vided, both between interstate and intra-
state business on the one hand. and be-
tween passenger and freight business on
the other He did not point out what
this unit would be.
He next considered the lower courts
plan OF apportioning expenses on the ba-
Sis that 1t cost two and q half times
RS much to do intrastate freight busi-
ness as 1t did to do interstate, as well
as larger amount to do intrastate pas
senger business than to do Interstate He
said that the expenses had not been kept
separately in the accounts OF statistics
OF the company. and that testimony ms
10 the difference In expenses differed
widely and that the intricate question Of
whether the rates were confiscatory
could not be decided on proof OF such a
general character

Confiscatory Phase.

In taking UP the conflscatory phase of
the controversy, Justice Hughes first con-
sidered whether the rates We're coniisca-
tory as applied TO the Northern Pacific.
lie said this would turn upon what was
the fair value of the railroads S prop
erty. He tested the lower courts theory
OF arriving at fair value by finding .the
reproduction cost new by ascertaining
how this theory worked on the value OF
the railroads lands. He declared that the
lower court was In error in adding 30
per cent to the normal value of the land
in some instances and zoo per cent at the
big terminals, In arriving at what the
court considered the "cost of reproducing
It's property
"1t Is manifest that an attempt to es-
Innate what would be the actual cost OF
acquiring the right -of-way. II the rail-
road were not there. is to indulge In mere
speculation.
THE cost t-of-reproducr,on method is Of
service In ascertaining the present value
OF the plant, when 1t Is reasonably ap-
piled and when the cost OF reproducing
the property may be ascertained with a
proper degree of certainty. But II does
not Justify the acceptance of results
which depend upon mere conjecture"
Justice Hughes said that the railroad
would have no ground to complain II II
were allowed value for its lands equal
to the fair average market value of SINH
lar lands In the vinicity, without addl-
tons by the use OF multipers. or other

II hope not" daddy replied. still, I'm not sure that I wouldn't be pretty
badly scared myself II should meet a lion. '"'
i cad a story of a man who lived in South Africa. He was helping to
build a railroad there. In some places the railroad was being built right
through the midst OF wild junges where there were all sorts OF fierce animals.
Now, most wild beasts unless you attack them or they have been made
angry before they meet you will stink away.
The man of whom a m telling you a engineer. He had charge of
gangs of black men who we're digging and shovehng and laying tracks. AS
he had to keep an eye o IN a good long piece Of road, he had a bicycle N which
he rode up and down the country.
"Cne evening he was coming down the road to his home when he noticed
a large animal walking along in the road a short distance in front Of him. It
came trottng up, and what was his horror % see that it was a big lion. The
lion looked at the mar on the bicycle in surprise Here is a new kind of hui
man creature In my Jungle the lion may have said to himself He can run
than the ostrich. I must know more about him. 3d..
THE engineer had heard a good deal about lions and their queer ways. One
thing he had heard was that lions are very inquistdve.
$50 to puzzle the lion he got down from his bicycle and, putting it o n his
head, began to carry it in this way. "
The lion looked surprised, and when the engineer managed to pass it by
cutting round the side If the path and started to walk toward his camp the
hn followed after waggng his tail thoughtftry and no doubt making up his
m1nd that a mean creature who could take off what seemed part of his body
and carry it on his head was worth studying
He followed the railroad mar, for eight miles, and when thew: came in
sight Of the camp the lion lodged off into the jungle
And when he reached camp the engineers companions said that likely a
not his trick had saved his life. Well just the same. l have great respect for
a lion who would rather learn something than have a good dinner. In that he

FREAK LEGISLATIVE BILLS.

Nearly every legislature in the
country is at times burdened with
freak bills of some character, which
are offered by men Of various degrees
Of temperament and for purposes that
are hard to understand.
In the Connecticut legislature the
long hatpin bill has just been killed. 1t
sought to prevent women from wear
ing hatpins that were beyond a certain
length, but the legislature in their
wisdom concluded that such a law
would require a regiment of special
officers to enforce it, and rather than
to involve the state in the cost Of such
an undertaking and the people in such
commotion incident to the attempt to
enforce such a law, they voted against
and defeated the bill.
Similar measures nave been consid-
cred by the legislatures of several
states, but somehow the wearers Of
the long hatpins in each struggle have
o and after each battle they have
gone forth wearing their long hatpins
as IL to mock and defy those who
would forbid anything that is permits
sible in the prevailing style.
The Texas solons are celebrating
over a bill which forbids the women
wearing tall hats, the punishment pro-
vided being that the offender shall
have no new hat for two years after
the date of conviction. The ofense Of
wearing a tall hat is great, but the
penalty is too closely akin to capital
punishment to command serious con-
sideration at the hands of a legislature
in this enlightened age, and for this
reason, if for no other. the tall hat bill
will eve pass.
Vermont, 1t Is said, once passed a
law making it illegal to trap. snare or
attempt to snare male or female ele-
plants at large in the Green noun
tatns.
In the consideration Of such bills
those legislatures thus engaged are
squandering their valuable time, which
should be devoted to those matters
that would benefit the public. A state
must pay dearly for the wit that is in
yolved in such laws.

A report issued by the postofice de-
partment for the three, months OF 1918,
during which the parcel post system
has been in operation. indicates that
the public is approaching the advan-
tages the innovation offers. The
growth Of business has been rapid, the
number Of packages handled for
March in fifty of the leading cities
having been SIS per cent more than in
january, and about "a per cent more
than in February.
One recent ruling which Will add-to
the popularity and convenience of par
eel post is the decision TO allow ordIn-
airy postage stamps to be used instead
Of requiring the special parcel post
stamp under penalty Of a fine on the
recipient. This. simplifying Of the
service will be followed by a larger
use Of its opportunities. At no time
has the parcel post been an expert
ment. its unqualified success being as
sured from the start. The wonder will
be that the opposition of the express
companies was permitted TO prevent
its inauguration for so long.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL IS, 1913.
H PEOPLE SPEAK.

The people Of Fargo have spoken,
and have spoken in unmistakable
terms. They have declared by their
votes that they are thoroughly salts
fed with the superintendency Of w. F..
Hoover and with the present system
of running the Fargo schools.
The splendid majorities by which
new men were placed in control Of the
Fargo schools yesterday shows just
exactly how the people stand on this
question. 1t shows that they resented
the attempt to, make a complete
change in the Fargo school policy
without in the least consulting them.
1t is q complete vindication for Mr..
Hoover. Charges were made against
Mr.. Hoover, They were weak charges
and the people have shown what they
thought of them.
MI. Hoover has been in charge of
the Fargo schools for even years.
During that time he has brought the
schools to a high state Of efficiency.
He has his own system of running
that it is a good system. The people
have shown that they are also of hat
belief.
1t Is unfortunate that this contro-
Versy came up. but it has been settled
In a decided manner and there is no
reason for further controversy. Every
member Of the board, new and old.
should now swing into line with the
expressed desires of the people and
the Fargo schools maintained in their
present high standing.

SUGGESTIONS ON POULTRY.

BY Mrs. G. W. RandIett: DO not
give any food to the chicks until they
are from "a to Sc hours old. Warmth
is more important thar food.
Feed them a little every two hours
Tor about a week. After that time
feed every four hours until they are
! month old, then three times a day.
Chicks do not eat much at a time,
but they eat often. Feed them at reg
ular times and do not omit a meal.
Keep a box of fine charcoal, small
grit and dry bran before them all the
time and on the floor Of the GOODS
sprinkle fine sand in the cut clover
and alfalfa leaves. Plenty of fresh
water at all times. Give them wa
ter in something that only the heal
or the chicken can become wet. DO
not let the chicks walk in the water.
damp places prove fatal.
A prepared chick feed, If properly
balanced. contains bone, muscle and
FEATHER making properties. and can be
red for the first W or three weeks
with splendid results. Just give them
what they will clean UP nicely.
Stale bread that has been dried in
the oven and then rolled fine and
mOistened with milk or water enough
y i""hG Ilit ItllAlut9 CEuI4DIN, is E10a.
Hard boiled eggs are good if YOU
let them cook long enough. Sprinkle
a little fine sand on the eggs before
feeding.
Never feed raw corn meal stirred
into water or milk. 1t causes bowel
trouble and perhaps a loss of half
and sometimes all your flock. Corn
bread dried and rolled fine, then moist
ened with milk or water until it Is
Crumbly is a good change. Never feed
sloppy feed. Have it dry and crumbly.
After the third week anv wholesome
food can be fed with good results.
BE sure to keep all feed and drink
ing dishes clean. Wash and scaId the
dishes. keep coops and yards dry,
warm and clean, and YOU will have no
trouble raising the entire flock.
A chick should weigh a pound at 5
weeks and ready for market at 8
weeks.
1t pays to hurry the growth Of chicks
so don't let them shift for themselves
as soon as you think they are we'll
started.
When you see the chicks busy and
scratching it is a sign they are happy
n thriving.
Spray the cops often and the hen
houses n a week and continue to do
SO through the warm weather. Dis
SOlNe O~ne-fOurth ounce of corrosive
sublimate in a pint of hot water, then
add n ounce Of CarbOlic acid. Stir
this into two gallons of kerosene. Keep
it well stirred all the time. Spray
Coops, roosts and houses with this
several times during the summer and
use it generously.
You cant neglect the chicks while
they are growing and get good breed
ing stock by feeding them good a
month 0 + so before laying. Give them
plenty of feed, good care and clean
houses and yards at all times.
Do not put chickens Matched at diff
terent times together. The older ones
will crowd out the younger. b

run in on warm days.
Chicks Matched this month will Law

SLIGHTLY LOWER PRICES.

The st. Paul Dispatch has the fol-
lowing interesting resume Of Brad
streets report:
Though higher than at any CORE
spending date, the general commodity
price level for April !, showed a reduc-
ton from the preceding month. accord

stock and provisions are on the up
grade, and the prices of meats contin-
ne high, but dairy products and eggs
show a substantial decline and with
breadstuffs and fruits pulled the gen.
eral level dow to the lowest point in
five months.
The Bradstreet's report. which works
out at $9.2976, besides rejecting a de-
a Of IL per cent from the num-
Der registered on March /, represents
the lowest price level quoted since
September of last year. Since the high
point which was reached in December
there has been a decline Of 2.5 per cent
and this most recent slump furnishes
the fourth successive decrease that has
occurred In as many months. In fact,
only four OF thirteen groups assembled.
the other nine having declined.
Still, prices are FL per cent higher
than they were on April 1, 1912, and for
that matter they are at the highest
point ever established on any CORE
spending date. This most recent index
number represents a substantial rise
over April /, 1911, the ratio being 9 per
cent, while contrast with the like. time
in 1910, when prices were also rela-
lively high, furnishes an increase of a
little over l per cent, and comparison
with April /. 1908, reveals an advance
of nearly IL per cent.
BY going back to April 1908, at
which time prices were low, principal
