EASTERN RAILWAYS
ALLOWED increase
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM
MISSION PERMITS 5 PER CENT
RAISE IN RATES.
TWO COMMISSIONERS DISSENT,
Conditions Caused by War Recognized
as just Cause for Higher Tar
iff1Additional Revenue
Reaches $~5o,ooo,o0o.

Washington, d. C.-The inter
state commerce commission has
granted the application Of eastern rail-
roads for a flat increase Of 5 per cent
in freight rates, except upon coal,
coke, iron ore and lake and rail"
joint shipments. Increased
of about $50, 900, 900 to the railroads,
numbering about 125 affected, are
expected.
Increases in rates on cement, starch,
brick, tile clay and plaster, denied in
the former applications, were granted
under certain limitations.
Generally, the commission held:
Joint rates between official CLASH
fication territory 1.-THE east on the
one hand and southeastern territory,
the southwest and points on east of
the Missouri river on the other may
be increased not to exceed 5 per cent
of the division Of the rate aecruing to
the carriers In official classification
territory. If these increases involve
a change in the relationship under the
long and short haul rule between in
termediste points and more distant
points outside of official classification
territory relief from the fourth sec
ton of the act must first be secured
on regular application.
"The conflict in Europe" said the
commission, will doubtless create
unusual demand upon the worlds loan
fund of free capital, and may be ok
pected to check the flow of foreign
investment funds to American rail
roads. 1t appears that our railroads
represent the bulk of European in
vsstment in this country. The rate of
interest-the hire of capital-has
risen during the last decade, and may
rise still further. 1t is computed that
in the years 1915 to 1917 the carriers
must arrange for the payment or re
funding of securities aggregating yer
$500, 900, 900.
while the gross revenue In last
year declined only about 3.4 per cent,
the net revenue shrank approximately
17.7 per cent.
THE fact remains that if the in
crease in depreciation and betterment
accounts in the last fiscal year over
the average for five years were added
to their net operating income for the
last year the results of operation
would still fall far below a fair return
upon the amounts carried upon the
books Is an investment in property"
The commission did not grant in
creases on rail-lake and alexandria,
rates, it said, because the rail car
riers, as owners of the lake lines, al
ready have Increased, freight rates.
The prevailing rates on bituminous
coal and coke, the commission said,
"are remunerative and the financial
condition of the principal bituminous
coal carriers is in marked contrast
with that of many other of the car
riers.
Twice in the not far distant past
the rates on bituminous coal have
been increased 5 cents a ton and
would seem now to be as high as may
he fairly allowed" the commission
said.
Increases on anthracite coal and
iron we're denied, largely because
they are before us for review In other
proceedings" the commission said.
Commissioners Harlan and Glenn
ents dissented,

Primary Law Attacked.

Judge John C. Brown. member Of
the Missouri supreme court in a con
curing opinion handed down in tn
suit growing out of the fusion Of
Democrats and Progressives in St.
Louis county, assailed the validity Of
that section Of the state primary law
which requires q candidate seeking
a party nomination to pay a stipu-
lated sum to the treasurer Of his
party committee.
Such q law, Judge Brown said is
against sound public policy, and is
enough to make every honest man In
the state hide his face In shame.
The section attacked by Judge
Brown provides for the following
schedule of fees: Governor, minor
state officers and judges of the SUI
preme and appellate courts, 500;
candidates for congress, $50; candi-
dates for circuit Judge, $25; state SEN
ator, $40; representatives, SIS.
: The validity of this section was
questioned by Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Fitch in the case of @. II. Werre-
meyer against William j. Seibel,
county clerk of st. Louis county, to
compel the latter to print his (Werre-
meyer's) name upon both the Pro
gressive and Democratic ballots.
Senator A. e. L. Gardner, represent
ing Seibel. made the point that the fee
had not been paid when the suit was
instituted. Fitch then declared in his
opinion the section is unconstitu-
tional.
