United States had decided to be law

United States had decided to be law
full.
The speaker praised President Will
sons attitude and his proposed trade
commission. He said the effects OF
many trust laws now contemplated by
legislators would be disastrous, how
ever. He added: 81 doubt that any
statute can be drawn that would really
make the antitrust act more definite
and certain extent, either by limiting
the scope of the act and defeating its
purpose or, else, by subjecting com
merce to a set of cast iron rules that
would cripple it.
"There is an unfortunate tendency
at the present day to enact whole
sale prohibitions with heavy penalties,
trustinp to the good sense and dis
elimination of the department of JUS
tice and of the courts and juries not
to enforce the law, except when its
violations would cause serious injury
to the public. Such legislation leads
to contempt for the law and to law
lessness. Such legislation, in effect,
substitutes government by executive
will for government under laws and 1t
is inconsistent with the fundamental
principles of freedom.
"The antitrust act, as now con-
strued by the supreme court, is a
comprehensive and effective law"

Reduced Express Rates

San Francisco, Feb. 12.-The reduc-
ton in express rates heretofore or
dered by the state railroad commits
sion, whereby the Wells Fargo EX-
press Company was ordered to pre-
pare new schedules affecting thou
sands of merchandise items, will GO
into effect on March /. During the
succeeding six months the Wells Far
go Company will keep, in seven prin-
cipal cities Of the state, record OF
shipments and earnings to be later
compared with the revenue that would
have arisen through the prevailing
rates. At the end of that period the
railroad commission will render final
decision that will govern express snip
ments in California.
Some alterations in the schedules
first ordered have been made in order
to adjust state rates to the interstate
tariffs recently fixed by the interstate
commerce commission. According to
the railroads estimate, the savings to
the shippers of California will amount
Ito S750,0OO per year. The traffic rec
ords ordered between March l and
November / will be kept in San Fran
cisco, Sacramento, Stockton, Fresno,
Los Angeles and San Diego.

Justice HenshaW
Visits the Jury

F. w. Henshaw, justice of the Su-
preme court of California, was in Ell
Centre this morning, accompanied by
his brother, William G. Henshaw, own
er of Warmers ranch, and Colonel Ed
Fletcher, San Diego booster.
1t was the first visit of the eminent
justice and his brother to the Valley,
and the trip was made especially in
connection with the proposal to build
a good road from Warmers ranch to
the county line, thus opening an ad-
ditional outlet for the valley, which
would place Brawley as near to San
Diego as Ell Centre, and would at the
same time provide route to Los An
geles from the valley which would ira
verse but little desert.
1t is stated that on the proposed
route there remains but twelve miles
of road to be constructed.

El Centre and Imperial
To Join in Building of
An Outlet for Sewers

night that there might be some hitch
in selling bonds should the sewer pro-
ject be made joint issue and that
Ell Centre should go ahead and build
the sewer, Imperial giving the right
of way, and then that city buying in
a right to use the main. 1t was held,
however, that the division in the cost
could be agreed upon and Ell Centre
could vote bonds for the construction
of that certain part and Imperial the
balance.
Whatever the outcome will be, Ell
Centre will vote on sewer bonds at
the spring election. Whether it will
be for the total amount or for two
thirds will be determined within two
weeks. The general sentiment in the
sister cit yis to join in and build a
main outlet for the sewage of the two
cities that will take care of a popula-
ton of $4,000.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-02-12

That FL Centre and Imperial will
join together in the construction OF
a large sewer main from this city to
a point six miles northwest of 1mpe-
rial, emptying into New river, is the
outcome of a meeting last evening in
Imperial between trustees Of the two
cities. FL Centre was represented by
Trustees Norton, Burger, Swanson and
Egerer, and Engineer Burk.
Engineers Burk of this city and
Funk of Imperial have been instruct
ed to start at once to ascertain the
most economical and feasible route,
with the best fall. The engineers
have been asked to report their find
ings within two weeks.
At the meeting last evening the I'M
perial board stated that that citys
sewer system was adequate to take
care of the situation there for the
next two years, but that they were
aware that preparations would have
to be made for the future and that
the logical way was for the two cit
les to join together and build for years
to come.
To bring the project to a successful
conclusion it will be necessary for Ell
Centre to pay for the construction of
the sewer main from this city to the
southern boundary of Imperial and
then bear one-half of the expense from
that point to the terminal, six miles
north and west.
The plan, as now laid out, is for
36-inch main and at the terminal an
immense septic tank which will rec
tify the sewage so that there will be
no danger of complaints being filed
against the project on the turning of
the water into New river.
1t is estimated that a 3G-inch sewer
main about ten miles in length would
cost in the neighborhood of 100000,
and the construction of a specific tank
would bring the cost to about $780,
900. If this estimate will cover the
cost of construction it will mean that
this city will be asked to vote bonds
to the amount of $4,000 at the cleo
ton in April.
1t was suggested at the meeting last

MORGAN LAWYER.
DEFENDS TRUST MAKERS

Washington, D. c., Feb. 12.-Victor
Morawetz, counsel for J. p Morgan &
Co. in many important cases, blamed
the supreme court for the formation
of many trusts in speech before the
chamber of commerce Of the United
States here today.
He asserted that in the Knight case
the court declared a combination OF
producing concerns not a breach OF
the Sherman law, even though 1T was
evident interstate commerce was to be
indirectly restrained through this COM
bination by the control of the product
of the merged concerns.
at will be seen, therefore, that dur
ing the period beginning with the de-
cision in the Knight case in January,
1895, and extending at least until the
decision in the case of the Northern
Securities Company in March, 1904,
the acquisition by an industrial corpo-
ration of control of its competitors IN
business was sanctioned by an unre-
versed authoritative decision of the
supreme court of the United States,
said Mr.. Morawetz.
During all this period every citizen
was entitled to assume that the acqui-
sition by an industrial corporation OF
property of its competitors in busi-
ness, or the stocks of competing cor
porations was lawful, though the re-
suit might be to monopolize trade or
commerce in the products of the COM
bined companies. During all this per-
iod it was the duty of every lawyer to
advise his clients, in accordance with
the decision of the supreme court, that
such acquisition was not prohibited by
the antitrust act of 1890.
1t was during this period that many
of the great industrial combinations
were formed During this period the
department of justice of the United
States, no doubt because it Loyalty ac-
cepted the decision of the supreme
court, took no steps to prevent the for
nation of these combinations which
since then have been attacked as ir
violation of the antitrust act.
1t is therefore not just to charge
the. business men who formed these
combinations or trusts with con-
scious violation OF the law. They die
only what the supreme court of the

MESSENGER Bows Success

Sacramento, Feb. 12.-Twenty years
ago Ernest Lamar King covered the
city of Sacramento as a messenger
boy of the Southern Pacific. Today he
is the superintendent of the telegraph
system of the Southern Pacific. And it
was his experience as messenger boy
that gained him his present position.
While as most messenger boys, he en-
joyed plenty of leisure, he put this to
good use learning the telegraph code.
His industry brought him quick re-
ward and once on the upward road his
native ability asserted itself, and yet
young man, he is head of all teleg-
.raphers working on the Pacific system.

Shipping SpudS

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 12.-Shortage
of the 1918 potato crop in California,
combined with an abundant crop pro-
duced in Washington, is giving heavy
impetus to the shipment of spuds to
San Francisco and Southern Califor-
MIA points. After a year, during
which not potato moved southwark
.on the California liners, shipment OF
the Washington tubers began with a
rush several weeks ago.
The Pacific Steamship Company es-
Inmates that before the rush ends it
will handle approximately 1000 tons
from Seattle for the California ports.
The movement shows a gain in excess
of those of previous years.

A MOST GENEROUS SPIRIT IMPERIAL
VALLEY-EvERY MAI. BRINGS MANY UNSOLICITED
VOTES FROM ALL PARTS OF VALLEY

A most generous spirit has been
shown by the people Of Imperial Val
ley toward candidates who have been
nominated in the contest so far and
there are now large number of fami-
lies who are regularly saving their
vote coupons, published daily in the
paper, and mailing them direct to the

votes are greatly appreciated by the
candidates voted for, all of whom find
it hard to believe they have enough
friends interested in their success to
enable them to finish among the prize
winners five weeks from Saturday.
Time Worth 5000 a Week.
Few successful business men are
able to earn 5000 week, yet some
contestant is going to be rewarded at
the rate of more than that amount
for her efforts during the next five or
six weeks.
$1OO Week.
Another candidate will receive a
$500 lot in the business district OF
Seeley, which will be a return of
nearly $1O0 a week for the candidate
finishing second on March 21.
Two Earn $40 Weekly.
Two more contestants will receive
5000 furniture orders. There are few
residents of the Valley who would not
be glad to win these prizes and, as
they will be permitted to select their
own furniture up to the value of 5000,
the prizes will prove as good as that
much cash to them AS the contest
will end five weeks from Saturday the
winner of even fourth prize will be
rewarded at the rate of about $40 a
week for her time.
Eight Prizes.
There will be eight prizes awarded
