The Public Utilities Commission Sat-
urday issued an order that the opera
ton of a proposed schedule of rates by
the Maine Central Railroad Company
increasing the rates be suspended until
Sept. l, 1917, unless otherwise ordered
by the commission in so far as any of
the schedules make any increase or
change in the present rates, practices
or services OF either the Maine Central
Railroad Company or the Portland
Terminal Company, and that no change
Will be made IN any existing rates

period of suspension authorized by spe

The commission further orders that
the rates and charges in the schedules
sought 10 be changed shall not be in
creased and the regulations therein
sought to be altered shall not be
changed by any subsequent tariff or
schedule until this investigation and
suspension proceeding has been dis

pension and any extension thereof has
expired unless authorized by special
permission of this commission.

part:
Our authority to suspend the opera
ton Of so much of said schedules as
relates to one way fares is conceded.
The respondents challenge our author
ity to order the suspension Of the pro-
posed rates for mileage and commuta
ton tickets. The contention is that
these rates are concessions which the
carrier may or may not make at its
pleasure so long as they are not I'M
lawfully discriminatory, and that the
government. acting through a commits
sion, may not interfere with them, that
the carrier. subject TO the limitation
as to unlawful discrimination, may is
sue such tickets, change the terms and
conditions governing their issue, and
withdraw them, without hindrance.
Many decisions Of the federal courts
and Interstate Commerce Commission
are cited in support Of this doctrine.

fronts in Europe the Teutons find
themselves on the defensive at the ad-
vent Of the fourth year. They fight

retirement from terrain which they had
won in earlier days at a tremendous
sacrifice.
Meanwhile new enemy powers. not
ally the United States. have been
drawn in by the Central Empires and
progress toward the achievement Of
tie ultimate aim Of the Entente and its
Allies has been furthered by political
disturbance which will remain memoir
able in the history Of all times.
Chief among these are the fall Of two
crowned heads-Nicholas of Russ and
Constantine of Greece. In Russia au-
tccracy has given way to a Republic.
In Greece a kingdom remains but not
a Teutonic one, Entente pressure
having won supremacy in this part of
the Balkans.
Political events within the German
ard Austrian Empires, featured by the
fall Of Chancellor Won Bethmann- Holl-
veg, have led to open discussions of
peace in the German Reichstag as the
fourth year dawns.
In Great Britain. the third year closed
with Winston Spencer Churchill. for

turned to the Cabinet with the port

Portugal and Rumania threw in their
fortunes with the Entente shortly after
the third year began. The United
States entered in April, followed by
Cuba and Liberia. Panama pledged the
United States her aid in defending the
Panama Canal. Costa Rice put her
naval bases at our disposal. China.
