Rates Decision Cuts Both Ways.

Both victory and defeat for the COM
muters on the Metropolitan and Washing
ton branches of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad are contained in the opinion in
that case handed down Tuesday by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. The
commission prohibits the railroad from
increasing the rates on the sixty-trip
monthly Communication tickets. permits the
withdrawal Of the twenty-four. fifty and
l6O-trip tickets. and allows the increases
In the ten-trip tickets so long as they do
not amount to more than 80 per cent of
Ave times the round-trip fare. The order
Of the commission becomes effective May
is next.
The majority report Of the commission
finds fault with the methods employed by
the railroad in arriving at rates, declaring
that important matters in the considera-
ton Of rate increases have been minimized,
and asserts that "a rule Of thumb method
OF fare fixing must be used with circum-
spection" Il further says that the IRE
spondent has made rather too much Of
this arbitrary standard. which. II asserts.
Is now common among carriers in deter
mining fares Of the nature of those now
under consideration.
Two dissenting opinions accompany the
majority findings One. by Commissioner
Clements. is strong plea for the COM
muters, and declares that the findings and
conclusions Of the majority are not in ac-
cordance with assertions made in their
report. Commissioner Harlan registers a
dissent against that part Of the majority
report denying the roads the right to in
crease the sixty-trip rates. but concurs in
the other part Of the opinion. He declares
that in view of the finding in the per
cent rate case lit seems to me entirely
lust to lay that small additional burden
upon the commuter."
Early in the opinion. the majority re-
port, which was written by Commissioner
Daniels, who heard the case. INDUCES in
criticism Of the methods employed by the
railroad in an effort to justify its claim.
TO compare the old and the new sixty
"trip tickets and represent that the differ
cnce in their price is what the average
commuter will have to pay. were the pro-
posed schedule to 60 into effect. is not an
accurate statement Of the situation, for the
exhibits Of the respondent show that for
the wear ending June. 1914. on the Wash
ineton branch as far as Laurel. BIT sixty
trip tickets were sold. as against 92S
l8O-trip tickets. while on the entire Metro
politan branch during the same period
only 257 sixty-trip tickets were sold. as
compared with sos is0-trip tickets. Il is
therefore obvious that, as TO those COM
muters who now buy the 1S0-trip tickets,
their additional monthly payment for daily
transportation per person, were the sus-
pended tariff approved in entirety. would
Be represented by the difference between
the charge for the new sixty.trip ticket and

,iclet. And this difference is 50 pro

present case, however. the burden Of prov
ing the increased fares reasonable is upon
respondent; and in seeking Increased reve-
nue. and uniformity Of tariffs it must work
no injustice to the traveller. 1t seems to
us that the carrier has failed, in formulate
ing the proposed tariffs. to take into con-
sideration all the factors controlling this
particular Communication traffic.
Since the computation of revenue and
cost upon which the respondent SO much
relies in making out its case il has reduced
its expenses by Withdrawing a number of
the least profitable trains carrying COM
muters and by consolidating others. 1t
has thus reduced the service it renders to
the committing public and its submitted
data, therefore, do not represent accurately
the present situation in its bearing on net
earnings.
THE respondent desires to abolish the
18O-trip ticket. alleging that there is no
logical reason why this form of transporta-
ton should continue to exist that it acts
merely as form Of discrimination in favor
OF the commuter who has money to invest
in three months transportation as COM
pared with him who can afford to buy his
transportation only by the month. This
last contention strikes us as reasonable.
"The respondent has shown that the
Communication traffic upon the Washington
and Metropolitan branches is not as
whole profitable; it has shown that the
traffic is light and that there is little like
lihood of its growing; that rather dimi-
mutton may be expected as the electric
lines extend and draw to themselves more
and more patrons of the railroad"

Bird Protection Law Still Effective.

Many of the press comments on the de-
cision of the United States District Court,
rendered March 20. at Topeka. Kansas,
holding that the Federal Migratory Bird
Law is unconstitutional. according to the
United States Department Of Agriculture.
are erroneous and are apt to mislead the
public concerning the real situation in this
matter.
The Kansas decision. like former de-
cision to the same effect in the Eastern
District Of Arkansas, is limited in it's OPP
Grafton solely to the district in which it
was rendered. Neither decision settles nor
nullifies the law, and the exact contrary
has been held by the United States Dis
trict Court of South Dakota. The Arkansas
case has been appealed to. and is now
pending in. the United States Supreme
Court. The Act Of Congress protecting
migratory birds stands effective until the
Supreme Court finally decides the question
of its constitutionality. In the meantime,
it is incumbent on every law-abidine citi-
zen to observe its provisions and the regu-
lations. 1t is the duty Of the Department
of Agriculture to enforce this law and the
officials in charge will endeavor to do so
as long as it is in force. Reports Of vio-
lations will be carefully investigated and
when sufficient evidence is secured they
will be reported for prosecution. In this
connection it should not be forgotten that
an offender against this. as in the case of
other United States laws. is subject to
prosecution any time within three years
from the date the offense is committed.

HALF BILLION DOLLAR
LOAN BEING SOUGHT

New York, Sept. 9.-The six Eng
lish and French financiers on their
way to this city to borrow huge sum
of money, popularity estimated at half
billion dollars or more, with which
to pay for American supplies for the
allies armies and other imports from
this country, arrived today. It has
been learned from unofficial sources
that not only would they represent
their own countries in negotiations
here, but in all probability would act
for Russia as we'll.
With England, France and Russia
acting in concert in the American
money market it was thought today
that the matter of floating a large
credit loan here would be correspond
ingly simplified.
The swelling flood of American ex-
ports is pouring out with such a
sweep that already Europe is debtor
to the extent of a billion dollars or
more, and method must be found
soon for paying the bill. The mini
mum sum which the three govern
ments must borrow here to restore the
value of their moneys from present
depreciation to normal was estimated
at half a billion dollars.
