On Two-cent Passenger Rates

both the State and the Railway Com
pany testified that the claims of the
railroad were sustained by the facts
Two cents did not pay the cost OF
carrying passenger mile. Inc
State, however, contcnded that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
Oh its state freight business to give a
fair return upon the capital used in
its passenger as well as its freight
business. For the purposes of the
case, the railroad did not deny this,
but held to its contention that the
State could not segresate its pas
senger business for rate fixing with
out allowing rate that would bt
sufficient to pay the cost of DOM
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing the business regulated. This
was the issue presented to the Su-
preme Court Its decision responds
to the Judgment of the fair-minded
sentiment of the country. The SUI
preme Court says that, even though
railroad earns surplus on a par
ticular commodity by charging rea-
sonable rates, that affords no reason
for compelling it to haul anothers
person or property for less than cost
The surplus from reasonable rate
properly belongs to the railway com
pany. If the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced The State may
not even up by requiring the railroad
to carry other traffic for nothing or
for less than cost.
The decision is n wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules of fair dealing apply to railway
companies. The fact that one makes
a surplus on his wheat crop would
never be urged as a reason for com
polling him to sell his cotton at less
than cost. 1t would not satisfy the
man who wanted bread to be told
that its high price enabled the cotton
manufacturer to get his raw product
for less than cost. In this case the
court reafirmed the homely maxim
that each tub must stand upon its
own bottom"

APPEAL KNOCKS OUT INJUNCTION
Banks Must Observe Order Despite Court
Decision

USCISlOu
Sioux Falls, 8. D. Nov. 26 In q
statement made here, Public Examiner
j. l.. Wingtield, who issued the order
requiring state banks to deposit q part
OF their legal reserve fund in state
banks designated by the state banking
department, maintains that An appeal
just taken by his department acts as
stay of execution of the restraining
order.
He says: "This means that the re-
straining order will not be in force un-
less the supreme court shall sustain
the ruling Of the circuit court, and the
public examiner may, in the meantim 9,
proceed with the due enforcement Of
che law, and state banks failing to com.
ply with the lawful rulings and orders
of the public examiner do so at their
peril.
Should this prove true, so far 40 it
relates to the appeal acting as stay to
the restraining order, it is safe to pre-
dict that the attorneys for the four
national banks of Sioux Falls, which
secured the restraining order. will
again 60 into court In further effort
to restrain the public examiner from
putting into effect his order in refer.
ence to deposits of legal reserves In

has much to do with 1t. Until three
years ago had no idea whatever OF
taking up career In the studios. MY
first effort wasn't much of q success,
stage fright got the better of me. It
was almost year before I made an
other effort. l determined to make
one, no matter what the cost. l gave
the director the best efforts possess

responsible for my position today.

TUESDAY, COMPLETED COURT
and JURY CASES.
BRIGGS CASE CONTINUED
SEVERAL IMPORTANT CASES TRIED
AT THIS TERM OF COURT.
OTHER MATTERS.

assault in the flrst degreee were taken
up. Evans plead guilty and was given
suspended sentence and the other
case was continued over until next
term of court on motion of his attor.
neys.
Among the more important cases to
be disposed of last week was the case
of Quay vs Bourne, the plaintiff rep
resented by Attorney L.. II. Hedrick
sueing to recover on note. A verdict
was rendered In favor of the plaintiff.
The next case was that Of @. A..
Minnick vs The Stockmans Bank in
which the plaintiff sued to recover
money received for team which had
been the property of Frank Beattie,
who at present is fugitive from
justice. Il was largely point of law
and verdict Was rendered In favor of
Minnick. He was represented BY
Attorney Hedrick and the bank by
Attorneys Juckett & Adams.

In the case of Masters vs. O'Banion
In which the plaintiff sued to recover
money and the defendant filed q
counter claim, it Was won by the de-

Perhaps one Of the queerest cases to
be tried at this term was the breach OF
promise case of Jacob Kern vs. Miss
Mardel NJ. Walden. In most breach of
promise cases the lady is the plaintiff
but In this one it was reversed. After
