GOVERNMENT MAY
LICENSE WAREHOUSES

Senator Pomerene found this au-
thority in a decision rendered by the
supreme court Of the Unitctd St9teo
in the case OF Kunn versus 1llino1e,
in which the validity Of law pasn96
by that state to license grain elevators
was upheld. The court ruled In i d.
cision written by Chief Justice wajta
that the grain elevators were In the
nature of public utility and 40 such
were subject to state regulation.
In the decision It was stated:
When the owner OF properly dc.
votes 1t to a use in which the public
has an interest he in effect grants 20
the public an interest in such uso.
and must to the extent OF that In
terest. submit to be controlled BY tbs
public. for the common good. ~ long
as he maintains the use He may
withdraw his grant by disseminating
the use"
The court held that the rights Of
property cannot be taken away with
out due process, but laid down the
principle that the state has the right
to say what the reasonable charge
for such service should be. This, tbs
court said. Establishes no new prtnS
ciples in tho law, but only gives I new
effect to an old one" It was also helA
by the court that where warehouses
are situated and the business u caye
rfed on exclusively within state, ahe
may as a matter of domestic con-
Germ. prescribe regulations for them,
notwithstanding they are used @ In
struments by those engaged In inter-
state, as we'll as In state commerce."
Discussing this decision Senator
Pomerene said:
TT is under this general principle
that congress and the several stateo
can regulate warehouses and storage
plants. have no doubt that congress
has power to say how these cold STORE
age houses should be conducted and
establish reasonable prices for them.
Even though the war 10 over, yet under
the regulation Of the interstate c0m-s
n.erce commission and under the psin.s
ciple laid down BY the supreme court
In the Illinois decision boarding. and
prices can be regulated.

THE BOND ISSUE

There seems to be some confusion
among citizens in some parts of the
parish in regard to the handling Of
the funds which the Million Dollar
bond issue will provide. Some have
the idea that these funds are to be
handled by the Police Jury. This is
not the case however. as the Police
Jury has no intention Of handling these
funds. The State Highway Depart
ment will handle them instead The
law provides that in cases where par
ish.wide bond issues for road building
arc voted that in order to obtain state
aid for such road building that all
funds must be turned over to the
State Highway Department and all
roads built under supervision of this
department.
Where special road taxes have been
voted in certain wards of any parish.
these ward taxes are cancelled in
case a parish-wide tax is voted.
The following clipped from the
Wellington (TexaS) Leader applies
with equal force to the citizens of
Bienville parish:
Why The Bond Issue?
After all why should the farmer
vote to saddle his country with a
bonded indebtedness that will require
many years to pay off. just to cut out
the mud holes and make the haul
easier on teams and wagons? Be.
cause he can haul heavier loads when
he needs to get to town: because ru.
raj truck service can be operated by
the rural mail delivery cutting out
many useless trips to town with loss
OF time and waiting OH closged rail.
way freight service. for implements
and supplies; because the values of
the farm in the region of good roads
Will increase from 80 to 800 per cent
because the good roadS means the con.
solidated rural school. changing from
the One-teacher school, attended when
the weather. is good, to the graded
school where the farmers children
have the same opportunity as children
in the city: because the farmers wife
will find, her life more pleasant thru
having more social pleasures because
it means unreasonable more income
in the way Of money earned or saved
pleasure in living, and human bappi
ness. The improved countryside is the
farmers monument after he Is zone
and farmers like to make the world
better just AS much as other men.
