EXPRESS TARIFFS
10 BE DISCUSSED
AT a Meeting of the Board Of
Directors of the Local
Board of Trade.

G. w. Dudderar, secretary of the
local board of trade has called a
meeting of the directors of the board
for 7:45 o'clock tomorrow night to
act especially on what he sets forth
in this open letter:
The Public Service Commission OF
the State of West Virginia has set
Friday, March 2Os at 2, p. M, as the
date for the hearing with repre-
sentatives of express companies rel
alive to the approval of tariffs on To-
cal rates, applicable in West Vir-
ginia, copies of which have been filed
with the commission s'nce January
rs.
The Charleston Chamber of Com
merce has filed complaints with the
Public Service Commission against
the approval of these tariffs on the
grounds:
First-That new tariff rates made
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and applied to Interstate traInc
and effective February / were pop
ularly supposed to provide for gen
eral decreases in rates. 1t now de-
velops universally throughout the
country that this is not the case.
Second-The Interstate Commerce
Comm ssion tariffs published, spe-
officially stated that they did not APP
ply to interstate business, but ex-
press companies in the states where
there are railroads, or public service
commissions have universally filed
tariffs, asking for the application OF
Interstate Commerce Commission
tariffs to local rates, and in all in
stances these tariffs increase local
rates, and in many cases to an ex-
tent which practically prevents bust
mss.
Third-The express companies. we
maintain, have not shown an in
crease in quantity or quality of ser
vice to justify increased rates, nor
do they show an increase IN the cost
of operation, which seems to justify
ICnntinrad on mage. fWnl

By the Supreme Court of State
of Pennsylvania Sitting in
Is Philadelphia.
OPINION IS HANDED DOWN
By Justice EIkin Who Says 1t is
a Matter with Legislature
i of the State:
s0v A8soeIArED PaEsn

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 16.-The
non-partisan ballot law passed by the
last legislature was declared consti-
tutlonaI in an opinion handed down by
Justice John P. Elkin today in the SUI
preem court of Pennsylvania.
Common pleas court number one
of Philadelphia sustained the act
Bnd refused the injunction prayed
for by John G. WINSTON ct al, the ap-
pellants. The opinion in summing
1lp the situation says:
eve rest this decision on the
ground that the legislature had the
power to prescribe the form of the
oaiclal ballot to provide in what
manner candidates shall be chosen
aud what names shall be printed on
the ballot as a result of the primary
and that nothing contained In the
act of 1918 is sufficient to warrant
this court in declaring that the leg
isIature abused its discretion by
writing into the statues the Hmtta-
tions contained therein. If it were
our duty to make the law no doubt
many of its provisions would be writ
ten differently, but We cannot de-
clare an act void because its require
ments may not meet with the approx
al of our Judgment or because we
q matter OF public policy. Questions
OF this character are for the legisla-
faire and not for the courts
Judge ELkin declared that the case
started with all presumpttons in ia
yor OF the validity of the act and
the burden was on those who assail-
ed Il to show what provisions OF the
act were in conflict with the organic
law. If this could not he done, the
act stands.
The contention of appellants was
that the first act was unconstttu-
tfonal because 1t interfered with the
freedom and equality OF elections
and second, as applied to nomna-
itons for the Office of judge, 1T was
special legislation The first conten-
tion was based on the provision OF
the bill of rights, which declares
that Collections shall be free ana
equal
As to the contention that the law
was not uniform throughout the state
The court held that a law which ap-
plies to judges as class is neither
special nor lacking in uniformity. 1t
applied to all persons in the same
circumstances operating upon every
person, who is a candidate for the
office of Judge. In addition it may
he said that even if this be not the
Hest but that the question must turn
4lDon the rights OF the individual
elector, the act operates on all voters
alike in the election of judges.

"Seed'' Treatment for P0Wdery
Scab-.Use Of Formaldehyde, Etc.

Zone to 600) than 1t is customary to
recommend in this country. but soak
ed for longer time, three hours. This
station has always used and recon-
mended one pint of 40 per cent for
fnaldebyde In 30 gallons of water, soak
ing the potatoes for two hours in this. =
This strength of solution has been
found to be very effective with the or
binary type of scab and with black
leg. No doubt it would be more efficient
than the weaker solution for the long
er period.
There are many arguments in favor
of planting no potatoes whatsoever
without first disinfecting with formal
dehyde. BY careful selection of only
sound. thoroughly healthy seed. and
then disinfecting, it is possible to en-
tireiy eliminate blackleg. and to large
ly restrict the danger of spread OF or
binary scab and also to prevent some
Of the losses resulting from seed decay
and imperfect termination. There is
no doubt that if careful selection OF
seed along with disinfection had been
adopted and rigidly carried out In the,
past, powdery scab, blackleg, etc,
would not have gained foothold in
the State.
For the present year 1t is essential
that the procedure given below be fol-
lowed If the further spread of powd-
cry scab and blackleg is to be prevent
ed.
Use for seed only stock that lie
known to be free from contamination
with powiery scab. Remove all tub
ers which arc bruised. cracked, or
show evidence of decay or disease OF
any kind. Soak this sorted and select
ed seed for two hours in a solution OF
one pint of 40 per cent. formaldehyde
In 80 gallons of water. Have two or
three knives for each cutter and when
not in use immerse the blades In
strong solution of formaldehyde. When
cutting seed reject every tuber which
shows any discoloration of the interior.
AT once drop the knife used in cutting
the discolored tuber into the strong
forma idehyde and use one of the other
knives until another suspicious potato
is cut. Spread out the seed where ii
will dry quickly and completely. Use
care that the disinfected seed does not
come in contact with barrels. baskets,
planters, etc, which have been used
for diseased seed.
Do not replant with potatoes lano
upon which potatoes We're grown In
1919 unless it is known beyond per-
adventure that the crop was free from
powdery seab.
