Fixing Reasonable Rates.

To the argument that the fixing OF
rates by a regulating authority may
be considered only tentative, and that
the rates so fixed may be assumed to
be unreasonable If they produce ex-
cess earnings, Judge Hughes holds
that what is a reasonable rate can
not be determined in this way. which
is not a regulation of either rates or
service, but Of earnings. Congress and
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
he says, have no power to permit the
collection OF rates which are extor-
tionate, even for temporary period;
and, therefore, what is reasonable
rate for q given service at given
time must be ascertatned at the time
the rate is made.

Gunnison news-champion., 1919-03-07
REV. BISSELL. EPISCOPAL
CLERGYMAN Is STRICK-
EN- BY PNEUMONIA

Gunnison people were shocked last
Thursday noon, March 9Th, when it
was learned that Rev. p. c. Bissell,
Rector of the Protestant Episcopal
church of Gunnison had died. Pneu-
monia was the cause of his death.
Rev. Percy Curtis Bissell was born
on October Is, 1885, at Stanhope, New
Jersey, and was 33 years of age at the
time of his death. Mr.. Bissell was
married to Miss Ethel NJ. Ward on
November ~, 1912. His first church
was in Weequahic Park, N. J. He
built the church there and at the same
time built st. Matthews in Jersey City,
N. j. His next church was at East
Rutherford, same state where he was
rector for two years, when he answ-
cred the call to the West. His one
fond hope was that he might some
day come West.
Rev. Bissell with his wife and lit
tie daughter, Mary, came to Gunni-
son late in December last year, when
he Immediately entered upon his du-
ties as the head of our local church.
Owing to the influenza epidemic, SER
vices at the church were not held until
after he had been here about two
months. During this time Rev. Bis
sell went about doing personal work
and acquainting himself with his peo-
pie.
When the influenza epidemic finally
subsidized and public services were
again resumed, it was then learned
that Gunnison had been greatly fav-
ored by the National Charge in having
placed Rev. Bissell here.
A man of unusually strong charact-
er, high courage, enviable determine
tion, and forceful speaker, were the
foremost traits of his personality. 1t
might be said, and is the opinion of
some, that his untiring devotion to his
church work, was ultimately the cause
Of his death. He was called to various
parts Of the county at different items,
when his physical condition really de-
manded that he remain indoors. But
working under the influence of his
strong Christian spirit, he made these
trips, and it was while doing this
work, that he contracted . bad cold,
which terminated into pneumonia, and
his untimely death resulted.
Mrs. Bissell, q most lovable wo-
man, and little Mary, are the remain
ing members Of the family to mourn
the loss of husband and father. III
fate seems to be the lot Of some,
which seems to be true in the case of
this family. Since the marriage Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Bissell about seven
wears ago, four children have been
born to the union, three of whom died
in infancy.
The remains, accompanied by Mrs
Bissell and Mary, commenced their
homeward journey to East Orange
New jersey. this afternoon where
burial will be made.
The sympathy of the entire COM
munity is heartily extended to the
bereaved wife and daughter in their
hour of unspeakable sorrow.
