The Taxicab Appeal.

The taxieab company is not salts
fed with the ruling Of the District
Court of Appeals and has been grant
ed a direct appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, which, in view
of the state of the calendar of the
upper court, probably means delay
of at least a year in the final determi-
nation of the taxicab's status with ref
erence to a regulation of its rates.
This will involve heavy public ex-
|pense. The present rates, which are
generally believed to be much higher
than conditions warrant. will prevail
pending the determination of the right
of the public utilities commission to
regulate the charges, and the differ
ence between them and the lower
rates which the public confidently ex-
poets when this regulation is effected

lower court are sustained BY the

Neutrals Against Belligerents.

There is real war between belliger-
ents and Quasi-war between belliger-
ents and neutrals. Each belligerent
inspired by the national necessity
of inflicting a maximum of injury
upon the enemy, makes disguised war
upon the helpful commerce OF neu-
trails with that enemy. History teaches
unarmed neutrals. the rights OF neu-
trails are violated first by one bellig-
erent and then by another, with the
result that the neutral finds itself
finally with reasonable grounds OF
hostility against both or all bellig-
erents.
The people OF the United States
have right to trade with the people
OF Great Britain and the people of
Germany. subject to an effective
blockade declared by one belligerent
against the other. and enforced. They
have an absolute right to trade in
good faith with the people of Euro
pean neutral neighbors of the bellig-
erents.
Great Britain, without declaring and
enforcing blockade, strains neutral
rights and juggles inconsistently with
international law in order to prevent
any American products from reaching
Germany which will help that nation
to tight or prevent it from starving.
Germany, with only her submarines
to relieve from impotency a declara-
tion OF blockade. threatens to be blind
to neutral flags and neutral rights in
the effort to cut off food supplies
from Great Britain. Germany views
as hostile the exercise of our right
to sell (subject to seizure and loss)
munitions of war to her enemies.
Great Britain views as hostile the ex-
ercise of our right to sell copper to
neutral neighbors of her enemies
without guarantee that it will not ul-
timately go to strengthen the latter.
We are warned and threatened and
injured from both sides.
The tendency of retaliatory mine
laying and of competitive blockades
or declarations of extensive war
zones in the sea is to drive away neu-
trail commerce from Europe. To the
extent that neutral trade with Europe
is destroyed by the unwise belliger-
ents, the neutral nations outside of
Europe should increase and strength
en- and make permanent the trade
among themselves. To the extent that
war bars US from Europe we should
enlarge our trade and make closer
our commercial relations with South
America and the orient.
To this end we must have a mer-
chant marine of our own. The need
is universally recognized, but there is
no agreement as to the means Some
OF us will not follow Europe's method
Of Subsidies" Others of US cannot
bring ourselves to consent to govern
ment ownership of merchant marine.
We must not so quarrel among our
selves as to means that we fail alto
gether to reach the desired end.
If the close Of this war finds US
without vastly enlarged permanent
trade with South America and the
orient and without ships OF our own
to carry this trade, we shall through
neglect of opportunity have demon
strated to the world monumental ma
tional folly, verging on national i'm
