RATE CASE
IN OCTOBER

Charles A. Reynolds, former
chairman of the public service
commission, was notified Thurs
day to be in Washington, d. c., on
October 1G, to present final argyll
ments in the differential passen-
ger rate case before the interstate
commerce commission.
The case was brought by the
people of the Northwest against
the Southern Pacific railway sys-
tenn to equalize roundtrip passen-
ger rates to the Pacific coast.
AS the rates now stand, 1t
is $3.50 cheaper to travel from
Chicago to San Francisco and re-
turn over the Southern Pacific
system than via the Northwest,
though the former route is con-
siderably longer.
This results in discrimination
against the people of this locality,
it is contended, and the loss of
hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually to Tacoma.

THE FIELD PRINcELET.-- OF
course the newspapers wouldn't pub
fish the picture of Henry Fields best
girl if Henry were a clerk in the big
store and selling collar buttons and
suspenders at S12 a week. But
Henry's rich. He is a grandson Of
old Marshall Field, and gets a slice Of
the millions the old man piled up
while working employees long hours
at low wages. Hence there is public
interest in the girl who is to marry
part of the Field fortune. Besides,
the Field store is a big advertiser
and it may be worth money to some
of the publishers to lick Henry's
boots. It may get them a few crumbs
from the rich kids banquet board.
Anyhow, the girls a good locker.
She wears good toys and probably
had the finishing touches put on at a
fashionable boarding school. And
Henry's rich. Don't forget that. For
the motto of our SWEETEST stockyards
sassiety is: eff you amt got no
money you needn't come around"
AS Henry has the price, he'll be re-
ceived with open arms, and with the
swell sassiety game in full blast the
400 will fawn upon Marshall III. and
also upon Henry - and on their
women, too, Of course. Just watch
the Field smoke from now on.
