PLAN
ON CONTROL Of
Rates ADOPTED
Powers Of State and Interstate
Commissions Defined

To George A. Henshaw, retiring
member Of the Oklahoma corporation
commission, belongs the honor OF fur
nishing the suggestion which, it is be
lieved, will be the first step in finally
determining the relations OF state com
missions and the interstate commerce
commission in their control OF freight
rates. The suggestion was in the form
OF motion made before w. P. Bauel
Of Washington, all examiner for the
interstate commerce commission. at a
hearing held Thursday and Friday at
Kansas City, Mo, The motion was
granted by the interstate commerce
commission, at Washington, by wire TO
the examiner at Kansas City.
Hardie At Hearing.
Representatives. OF the shipping in
terests' Of the southwest. included W.
V. Hardie, secretary Of the Oklahoma
Traffic association. and Herman pDitt-
mer. president Of the Oklahoma Millers
association.
The hearing was based upon the
western rate advance case Of l9k-l9ls
when the interstate commerce Commits
sion held that the minimum weight for
interstate grain shipments should be
D.0M pounds. On intrastate shipments
state commissions have established
minimum weights much less, The Okla
homa minimum is A1N pounds
Defines Powers.
Briefly, the effect OF granting Mr.
Henshaw's motiot will be to allow each
state commission 70 hold separate hear
ings on questions within thei'
jurisdiction, and to send the Ger
titled evidence and results to th'
interstate commerce commission for re
view and interstate rates in cases wher'
discrimination il. alleged between states

the shipping interests involved in th,
case may attend the interstate com

tion.
Should il be necessary for witnesse

state commerce commission hearings a

the thrilling automobile story Of "The

the exact locality in which they hap
pened to Anita King, the Paramount
Girl, on whose famous transcontinen-
tai automobile trip the story is found
ed. At one place during her trip she
encountered disastrous washout. On
their return to the place to take the
picture, it was found the road and
bridge had been replaced and it was
thought another location would have
to be secured. During the night prior
to their departure, another cloud
burst came and washed the bridge
away again. The next day they were
able OF secure the scene exactly as
it happened originally. In this pictur-
