Federal regulation OF railroad charges

simpler to deal with one authority than
with many. Even greater authority
now rests in the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and this small group OF
men who have come TO hold in their

TRANSPORTATION industry of the country
should MI their duties with the greatest
degree Of skill and fairness possible 10
any human agency. The courts are
ready to review practically any juds-
ment OF a state commission, but have
held that the federal body has had
delegated TO it by Congress authority

court reversal Of it's actions is dificult
10 obtain.

Market Ignores Shreveport Case.

The decision of the supreme court III
the Shreveport rate case UNFOLDING the
power Of the Interstate Commerce com
mission where state, through regula-
ton Of railroad charges within It's Dor
ders. had attempted to influence inter
state traffic, caused only fleeing frac-
tional movement of security prices.
YEAR before action Of the court on
similar question in the Minnesota rate
| case had caused wide fiuctustion in the
market. Now traders IN securities can
see no other important rate question
/ than that affecting the advanced
schedules filed by the Eastern roads.
/ Yet the Louisiana-Te opinion was
! one of great moment. In the Mime
! sofa case It had been pointed out that
unouestiona bly, Congress had the power
to interfere in any conflict that might
arise between state and federal regula-
ton Of commerce, but 1t had appeared
that the court sustained the views of
some Of the members OF the federal
commission who had held that specific
delegation Of this power by the ma
tional Legislature was necessary.
The State Of Texas in the case de
cided last week had avowedly tried 10

Shreveport arising from lower tariff
rates to the North and East reduce
because Of competition with water
transportation. The encroachment into
the field OF the federal commission was
that Of Texas, and the Supreme Court
held that in such a conflict national
authority was supreme in the Inter
state Commerce Commission. The
opinion handed down was so broad in
its support OF federal authority that
apparently state commissions will be
greatly limited in their jurisdiction

that few inexpensive, nourishing

Contrary to what might be expected,
nearly all garage owners are anxious

over with members of the city council
before 1t was passed and in some
cases recommended measures that

this measure will be very effective in

The Lee county board OF supervis-

their inspection trip. Supervisors
Young and Hosier went from here,
and Supervisor Scheffler came down
on the train, getting OF at the home.
After the inspection OF the home the
supervisors looked over the county
roads in the vicinity.
One Of the matters taken up in con-
nection with the visit to the county
farm was the matter OF electric lights
for the buildings. The board Of sup
ervisors has considered the electric
lighting proposition for the home sew
ieral times this year. The visit of the
state inspector revived the project,
since he recommended that lights be
installed.
A general inspection was made OF
the home and the conditions there.
Needs for next year were anticipated
during this jaunt.
On the road inspection, the high
ways in the vicinity were looked over
by the board. The Main street and
Summitville road was given some spe-
cial attention due to the fact that two
car loads of macadam has been order
ed for this road, and is ready to be
placed.
The board members are working
