Where rates have been fixed the Supreme Court of the United
States, at least twice, has already held that whether the rates as
fixed are reasonable or unreasonable is a question of fact to be
determined by the Court from the evidence offered at the hearing.
The Court also holds that the question of reasonable or unreason-|
able rates must be. determined from the facts and conditions as
they actually exist at the time of the hearing and that any pros
|pecive future increases of business or future circumstances or
contemplated condition likely to happen or exist can not be taken
into account. - s
If neither the State nor the Government at Washington can fix
rates that will deprive the roads of a reasonable profit, under the
existing circumstances, how can Congress by law compel the rail
road companies to pay their employees such wages as to deprive
the roads from making fair profit? And when even the Presi-
dent at least implicitly admits that the roads cannot meet the pro-
posed schedule without a future increase in the freight and pas
sengen rates, the constitutonality of this legislation is very doubt
full -
Unedr the holding of the Courts that the reasonabeness of such
Legislation must not be ascertained from any possible or probable
actually exist at lifetime of the hearing, President Wilson had bet
ter hurry up his Interstate Commerce Commission and secure an
increase in the rates of transportation before the cases now being
brought to test this law are heard, so that the deficit which the
new schedule will produce under the present rates will not appear
at the hearing. al
1t seems almost certain that the part of the Adamson Bill fix
ing the schedule of wages will be declared unconstitutional but
supposing it would not be;-then, as Senator Knute Nelson of Min
nesota points out, the increase in wages to the employees must be
eventually pad by the entire people and not by the rail roads.
How does it strike the northwestern farmer who is a producer and
seller to be required to stand an increase in freight rates on all Of
the produce that he sells and ships out and on all of the machinery
and other goods that he buys and ships in, for the sake of enabling
the best paid class of labor to obtain still higher wages? @
1t is doubtful if any representative from North Dakota added
any laurels to his wreath by complacently permitting a few rail
road employees to seize the government by the throat and terror
ie Congress into enacting legislation of such doubtful constitu-
tionality or benefit.

A C~ONTEMPT1BLE CONGRESS.

Dumb disgust describes the feeling of the Nation over the hur-
at all, but a twenty per cent wage increase.
The disgust is not so much with the Brotherhoods, though with
out offering a scrap of evidence they demanded a twenty per cent
increase in pay. 7 e@a :
Collective bargaining is said to develop, and no doubt does, the
self-reliance of the men. But when a descent on Congress brings
home more of the bacon that four or five collective bargains, it is
easy to see that the trend will be toward Congress hereafter. Yet
there is less bitter feeling toward the Brotherhoods than toward
the paltroons in Congress who surrendered without firing a shot
for their wards, the public.
Where was the collective bargaining spirit in Congress? It
could have gotten something for the people. 1t could have gotten
security for the future. What is the excuse? That the time was
too short.
The time was too short to refuse the men anything, but it was
mot long enough to refuse the public everything. 1t was too short
for an arbitration bill, but not too short for an eight-hour bill; 1t
was too short to be just. TWAS long enough to be contemplate.
What will the public do about it? It cannot reach the Brother
hoods. 1t can reach the congressman. Wilt
Formerly it would not have taken up the cudgels for a railroad.
1t looked with suspicion on the old railroad management, but the
public is becoming attuned to new conditions. It has learned that
not to let a railroad live is short-sighted. Moreover, it has learn
ed through this object lesson that when the RAILROADS are held up
for sixty million dollars, it means higher freigft'rates.
How is the latest outrage upon the public to be punished? The
only way to get a just rule is to get a just Congress. A just and
manly Congress is what the Country has net.
Unless the people want more raids, more poltroonery, more
sweeping bills to pay, they will attend to this part of the business
in Int the Country. No man who voted for this surrender of the
should go back to Congress-Mnneapolis Journal.

EVERYBODY WANTS GOOD ROADS.

All political parties and all factions thereon declare in favor of
Good Roads. State administrations have declared in favor of road
Improvement, and recently the National Government has gone on
The step taken by the Federal Government is appropriating mnoey
for road Improvement in the several states is likely to do much for
the cause of Good Roads, because of the law calls for the use Of
both federal and local funds, and for the use of better methods of
construction and maintenance than are often employed.
By the terms Of the Federal Good Roads Bill there will be ex-
pended on the roads Of North Dakota for the year ending June 80,
1917, approximately $4,000, provided the conditions fixed in the
law " are are met me locally s@1ly It is wisely provided in the law that Federal
only when an equal amount derived from local sources is also ex-
pended thereon, and the work must be done under conditions ae-
cordlng to specifications approved by Federal and State engineers.
In other words, if we are to receive aid in this matter from the
Federal Government, we must be prepared to do our own share,
and do it as it should be done.
IN view OF the attitude taken by the political parties there is no
good reason Why any. OF our state legislature should this winter
ms zen in the parties in favor of such legislation is unanimous. The
value OF scientifically built roads is becoming recognized, and if
we put forth the proper effort we can get some very useful help
from Uncle Sam.

NEW RESOURCES.

China has discovered beds of iron
ore in the Shantung province, about
twenty miles from the town of Taian-
fu. A hasty and superficial survey
disclosed the fact that at least 200,-
100000 tons of high grade ore are
present. The probability is that the
beds contain much more than this.
The Chinese government is planning
to make use of this deposit.
Holland is about to place a large or
der with the United States for gold
mining plant. The island of .Sumatra
proves to have a gold field which it is
expected will yield something like
$4,000 600 worth of the precious met
al.
Tulsa, Okla, is to have a new oil
company, capitalized at $4,000, 900.
The enterprise is to produce and re-
fine crude oil, with it's headquarters
at Tulsa.

Forecast:
GOVT FOR THE POOR.

Even diseases are becoming demo.
cratic. There was time when none
but the rich could have appendicitis;
then people in moderate circum-
stances began to have it. Hardening
of the arteries and neuresthenia are
still high-priced diseases, yet they are
slowly losing their exclusiveness. And
now govt, from time immemorial the
rich mans disease, accepted as ipso
factO evidence of luxurious living,
seems in the way Of becoming a popu-
lar and democratic ailment.
Within the past year there have
been SO cases of govt treated in Il
charity hospital in st. Louis. Prcsum-
ably old port and burgundy and Ca
pons had nothing to do with it. How
thetvictims acquired this enviable dis
ease is not related. But it is evident
that govt is at last within the reach
of the humblest citizen.

William Vaughan Moody's greatest
of all American plays Of the west,
'"rhe Great Divide" has been com
pleted by the Lubin Company and
with House Peters playing the role
made famous by Henry Miller on the
speaking stage, that Of Stephen Client
and Ethel Clayton, the Lubin favorite
in the role Of Ruth, originally played
in the stage version by Margaret Ang-
lin, the screen version Of this famous
attraction bids fair to outrank even
the widespread popularity which was
earned by the play.
Under the direction of Edgar Lewis
the newly engaged producer for the
Lubin Company, the company num-
bering sixteen with camera men, car
the bottom of the Grand Canyon of
Arizona for more than four weeks in
the taking of the remarkable exterior
scenes Of the production, which have
been generously praised as the most
beautiful scenic views ever shown on
the screen.
"The Great Divide" is heralded as
one OF the most expensive productions
which has been produced by any Of
The makers of motion pictures and it
abounds with thrill upon thrill and a
standard OF photopIaying which be-
speaks credit for everyone of its cast
from the stars to the most humble
player.
The Bismarck theatre has booked
"The Great Divide" as the attraction
at the theatre for an early showing.

SELLING COURSE.

A new move in the direction of max
ing the schools connect with everyday
life is being made in Chicago. An i'm
p0rtant department store has offered
to cooperate with the school authori-
ties in teaching craftsmanship to high
school girls.
The plan, as outlined by Supt. John
d. Shoop to the principals, is that
there shall be course in salesman
ship given to fourth-year students who
wish it. These students will work in
department stores on Saturdays and
at other times, when extra help is
needed, at not less than 81 per day.
They will try to put into practice in
the stores the lessons they have had
in school, and the practical experience
they have had on Saturday will be
discussed in class afterward. The
store in question, and probably many
others of equally high class, will guar
antee to employ those students who
have made good Immediately after
their graduation at wage of not less
than 50 per week.
The stores advantage is that it
gets we'll trained, intelligent help, who
will take an interest in the work as

BIBLE 34S YEARS OLD
AND QUILT 200 YEARS
ARE ON EXHIBITION

Valley City, n. d.. April ga quilt
200 years old will be one of the many
old and antique things to be used in
connection with Old Folks concert
in the Normal school auditorium on
Monday evening. This quilt is the
property of DR.. Spencer d. Reed OF
this city and has been in his family
for two centuries. It will adorn one
of the old horsehair settees on the
stage. The quilt is still in an excel
lent condition of preservation and is a
most beautiful piece.
On the old-fashioned table in the
quaint little sitting room, there will
be a bible, 34S years old. It is the
oldest English bible in America, and
belongs to Prof. C. C. Curtiss of the
Normal school, in whose family it has
been for II generations. 1t was the
grandfather of Prof Curtiss who,
some so years ago, conducted thor
ough canvass for old bibles through
the columns of the New York Observ-
err. The canvass lasted more than a
year and many hundreds of old bibles
were made note of. No record was
found of an English bible older than
that in the Curtiss family. but two
German bibles were shown to be one
year older than the Curtiss book.
This bible will be in evidence at the
Old Folks concert Monday.

she is now starring at the head of her
own company, under Metro auspices,
and will be seen .l,re again at the Or

by Quality Pictures Corporation. This
brilliant star will be supported by a
notable cast in this production, in
Guiding Paul Gilmore, the popular ro-
mantle stage star; Frank Bacon, the
mastery character actor, and a dozen
others Of like Importance. Rose
mary is the adaptation of the famous
English drama in which John Drew
was starred in the Empire theatre,
the home theatre Of the late Charles
krohman, on Broadway. 1t is a beau
tiful story of English country life and
affords Miss Snow an excellent oppor-
tunity to display her unusual charm
and distinctive dramatic gifts. Every
one that was present last night was
we'll pleased with this splendid Metro
feature. Metro and Fox features are

ESCAPES DEATH

Beach, n. Oak, May 1st.-What
might have been a serious accident
occurred at the Jordan farm four and
half miles southwest of Beach. Carl
Jordan, while engaged in the evening
work about the barn, was attacked by
a mad bull Seeing that he could not
escape, he seized pitchfork and ran
it into the bulls nose. He was I'M
able to make The fence before the
bull made another attack upon him.
He threw the fork again but missed
the mark and the ferocious animal
struck him. Carl seized him by the
horns and was dragged about the lot.
His strength was almost exhausted
when his brother. Clarence. hearing
the cries for help, ran to his rescue.
His appearance attracted the atten-
ton of the bull long enough for both
to make their escape over the fence,
