THREE CENT RATE
BETWEEN STATES
UPHELD BY U. S SUPREME COURT
AGAINST THE TWO-CENT
RATE.
Western Ncwspr.a. Union News Service.

Western Ncwsps-s. Union News Service.
Washington.-The interstate rail-
road passenger fare or three cents
mile through Arkansas. Missouri and
Oklahoma was upheld by the INTER
state Commerce Commission, acting
on complaints of the public service
commissions OF those states, which
sought TO have a two-cent intrastatd
rate made the basis OF through traf-
fic charges. The commission held
that the different railroads did not
voluntarily establish and do not vol
UNFAIRLY maintain the intrastate pas
senger fare OF two cents a mile and
that basing interstate passenger fares
in these three states on the three-cent
date was not unreasonable.
The commissions ruling Is import
ant as the reduction sought would
have had wide influence on passen-
ger traffic rates generally Six states
Arkansas. Kansas. Minnesota. Ne
braska, Missouri and Oklahoma-es-
tablished two-cent rates in 1907. and
resulting litigation brought ruling
from the Supreme Court that nothing
confiscatory could be found to justify
the railroads complaint.
In appealing to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the state COM
mis- sions sought 10 show that re-
duction OF interstate rate would slim
ulate travel They filed exhibits tend
ing TO support the contention that
the two-cent intrastate rates had meant
increased revenues for the carriers.
The commission thought other con-
illusions might be drawn from the ia
bles and sustained the three-cent
rate. The decision, however. asserts
that the ruling does not mean that
there may not be force in the theory
that a reduction OF rate tends to in
crease travel"
The complaints were drawn up on
May II, this year. at Oklahoma City.
where the Railroad Commissions OF
the three states. Arkansas, Oklahoma
and Missouri. met to discuss sucls an
action. Following this meeting
complaints were filed by these 1.
missions Jointly.

Woman Candidate For Congress
 Will Be True Progressive. Special to Independent.


 Will Be True Progressive.
 Special to Independent.
 Goodland, Kansas, July 30.-- Irrigation, better transporta tion, better schools and better laws for women are the four car dinal principles in the platform of the only woman candidate for Congress in Kansas since the equal suffrage amendment to the state constitution was adopt ed. Mrs. Eva Morley Murphy, Goodland, is the Progressive candidate for Congress in her district, and politicians say she has a chance to win because of the things she stands for and because the present Congress man has been afraid to take any definite stand on many proposi- tions which have had popular approval.
 "I have lived for 28 years i'll this Congressional district, among the gritty, cheerful, hopeful, industrious and pro- gressive people who have been turning it from a barren plain into a delightful community of homes," said Mrs. Murphy to- day. T have done my own small part in this work. I know the needs of the people in my district.
 More extensive irrigation work is needed and should be carried on by government super vision. The West needs better wagon roads and more railroads, more trains and lower freight rates-at low enough figures to be an inducement for people to move into that territory and not have to pay exhorbitant prices for what they need, and low enough for them to be able to ship their products out at a profitable figure.
 Good roads will mean better schools for us and better attend ance. Good roads will mean more graded schools, the most efficient teachers and the best equipment. In the West the settlers are so few that to have really efficient schools they must be so far away from many homes that the children must be hauled miles over poor roads, if indeed, at some seasons of the wear the poor roads vii! per init of travel at all. Good roads enhance the value of land. They make for more and better neigh bors, better community life and other similar things that make life as a whole better and hap pier.
 [ National suffrage and na- tional prohibition are coming propositions before the country. There are some states where women are regarded as a sort of necessary evil. In these be- nighted states women have no right to hold property in their own name. They are not per- mitted to have anything to do with business affairs. They have nothing to say about how property that belongs to them shall be taxed. They are as bad off legally as the slaves were be- fore the civil war. Even Kansas laws do not give women the same equality as is accorded the men, but in other respects Kan- sas is far ahead of many other states.
