RAILROADS MUST MAKE 80 PER
CENT REDUCTION, REFUND
$375.ooo; $5oo,ooo FINES.
PEOPLE WIN VICTORIES
SUPREME COURT AND JUDGE
PERRY MAKE TWO SWEEP
ING DECISIONS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-The railroad companies
were dealt two blows simultaneously
In cases involving all freight rates
from the northern Colorado coal
fields. While Judge John A. Perry
was reading one decision, the justices
OF the Supreme Court were reading
another. Both decisions, taken to-
gether, hedge the railroad companies
in such manner that there seems to
be no escape from putting into effect
the low rates fixed by the State Rail-
road Commission, and the roads must
also reimburse shippers in the sum
Of $375,000 for overcharges collected.
Judge Perry upholds the order Of
the State Railroad Commission that
coal rates from northern Colorado
fields to Denver must be reduced 80
per cent; decides commission was
constitutionally created and has power
to fix rates; sustains reduction on
lump coal from so to 55 cents a ton
and all other reductions. Three defen-
dant railroad companies must make re-
funds of at least s375,000 in excess
charges and are liable for penalties of
more than $5O0,O0O additional.
The Supreme Court decided that,
even II there were no railroad com.
mission or statute governing freight
rates, any shipper might compel rail-
roads to reduce rates, and prove what
is reasonable rate by offering evil
dence of interstate rates. Instead Of
being tied up in court for six months,
at enormous expense, shipper may,
under this ruling. prove his case in
half day by offering in evidence
rates fixed by Interstate Commerce
Commission, and no other evidence.
Shipper not required to prove that
rates are excessive, but railroads must
prove they nre reasonable.
Other cases decided by the Supreme
Court include that of Oscar Cook, con-
victed of killing Patrolman William
Mcpherson, granted new trial.
BiMetallic Company's injunction,
restraining Tax Assessor Pitcher from
carrying out increased assessment un-
der orders of State Tax Commission,
reversed.
Colorado & Southern loses appeal in
case of George Kindel, who was
awarded judgment of 1924 in lower
court on allegation that road was
guilty Of excessive charges on freight.

Triple Slayer Admits Guilt.

Grand Junction.-The mystery Of a
triple murder near here in 1892 has
been cleared by the confession in Los
Angeles of w. e. Davis, former resi-
dent of this city. Davis was sent to
Jail for six months for killing one of
the men, but the authorities were un.
able to prove him guilty of the triple
murder. Davis claimed self defense
but in his confession at Los Angeles
he admits he shot Charles Brock,

Loveland.-The sugar factory closed
here after record run of four months
in the most successful of the local

THE PAYAs-YoU-Go THEORY.

of which will be questioned We have in mind
the resolution which reads: eve are opposed to
the many bonding schemes advocated by those
seeking touring roads believing that the pay
as-you-gO policy is far more business-like."
The Tribune is not advocating any partic-
ular one of these bonding schemes referred to.
They may be all unbusnessike Neither are
we advocating bond issue of any kind at this
time. However the policy of pay as -you-go for
large, much needed public improvements is alb
solutey devoid of merit. By paying as you-go
it will require two or three hundred wears to
get decent public highways Had we followed
this policy we would today have no schools,
asylums, penitentiaries or other public institu-
tons. We would not even have wagon bridges
across large and unfordabe streams. There is
no sense in depriving the present generation of
those things which will advance their prosperity.

NO FILES FOR HIM

The conversation led to surgical
operations the other day, and Con-
gresham John H. Small of North
Carolina told of the experience OF a
southern blacksmith.
The blacksmith, who was long on
the wisdom of his trade, but short on
medical lore, according to the Con-
gresham, sprained his wrist one at
ternoon and lost no time in hustling
to the office OF a physician.
The doctor examined the wrist and
then took small bottle from shelf,
but found it empty.
James" said he, turning to an as
s'stant, go upstairs and bring me
down couple of those phials "
Whats that" exclaimed the pat
lent, suddenly showing large signs of
emotion.
&" was merely asking my assistant
to bring me down a couple of phials
from upstairs, answered the doctor.
Files! cried tie blacksmith, with
a look Of determination. No, YOU
don't, doc! II that hand has got to
come off you will use an axe or a
saw. Chicago News.

THE GOOD WILL OF RECLAMATION OF
FIClALS.

Elsewhere in this issue Of The Tribune will
be found expressions OF goodwill from the Off
Gals of the United States Reclamation Service.
Secretary Lane expresses the sentiment of all
when he says 1--WE shall endeaVor to give YOU
full opportunity to make good.' An oppor-
tunlty to make good is all that the settlers on
the government reclamation project ask 1t is
refreshing to have the officials at WASHINGTON
feel that way toward us We trust that the era
OF mlstrust and suspicion which distinguished
the Interior Department few years ago has
entirely passed away. At that time an effort
was put forth to see that the settlers did not
make good Happily the effort failed, through
radical change in policy first adopted by Pres
ldent Taft and extended by President Wilson
and associates. No longer is the settler upon
the land held to be a criminal until he can es-
tabllsh his innocence
In order to make good the settler is en-
titled to three things. They are: liberal in
depreciation of the law in order that sane rules
may be deducted from the law; an extension of
ten or twenty years in the time in which he
makes payment; and last and more IMPORTANT
than all, full justice in ascertaining the cost of
the irrigation systems constructed. The home
steaderS should not be forced to pay for the mis-
'aKes OF the lncompetents nor the thefts of the
gratters. They should pay an amount which
would cover the cost under wise, economical
and competent administration. We will not ask
that the cost be limited to the original estimates
1hey were only preliminary and made upon in
sutilclent and inaccurate data. But hlnders by
government engineers and EMPLOYEES and thefts
by the same should not be charged up to the
homeSteaders They were powerless to inter
1ere and they should not be called upon to suf
Ter. The Tribune sincerely believes that when
our project is completed, but before the total
cost is hXed, that there will lie an investigation
by Congress. At that time the good will of the
officials OF the Reclamation Bureau and the
Interior Department will be of substantial ben
elt to the homesteaderS

THE TRICK WAS TURNED.

Last week we were in a sad quandry. We
did not know how the escape Of the Capital News
was to be made. We felt certain that something
Sheridan, publisher of the Independent news
paper called the Capital News, had stated at
the recent Bull Moose gathering at Boise, that
once again he was the owner of his newspaper.
He stated that there were no strings on the News
and that it would be found at Armaggedon bat

Senator Brady has filed a new mortgage
for $35OOOO.00 in favor Of the lions Savings
Bank of Salt Lake. The bonds, stocks and
notes Of the Capital news are not placed as Sc
curity for this mortgage. The Capital News has
either raised $6300O.00 elsewhere or else Sena-
tor Brady has withdrawn these securities and
replaced them with others. At this time
we do not know the nature Of the present tran
sactlon. However it may be assumed that the
Capital News is as independent as it ever was,
which isn't credting it with an independence
that will hurt it.

That little incident did more to lnten-

THE EYE SEES THOSE THINGS WHICH TT
HAS A MIND TO SEE

The New Freedom in its last issue calls up-
on Senator James II. Brady to resign his seat IN
the United States senate The allegation is
made that Senator Brady has violated the letter
and the spirit of the direct primary law nv the
reckless use of money, has deceived the state
supreme court and periured himself in testi
mony offered in court The specific grounds for
the allegations are the transactions between Sen,
ator Brady and the Capital News. The New
Freedom says that he islands convicted unon
the records of the state of Idaho of
violating the direct primary law, of wilfulv de
celving the supreme court of the state" The
records in the case show that ON December ~
1912, Senator Brady testified in court that he
did not own or control any of the bonds of the
Capital News. The records further show that
since February 5, 1910. Senator Brady as mort,
gage owner has controlled the entire bond is
sue of the Capital News. In these records tLe
New Freedom sees in Senator Brady vioIater
of the law and periurer.
