The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1920-03-12

We are in receipt or rather salty
communication, with a request for its
publication, from Mrs. J. C. Layne,
presumably of Frankfort, with refer
ence to the rejection of the proposed
Evening School Bill, by the lower
house of the General Assembly. We
confess that we do not know very
much about the merits of the bill
proposed, having had no opportunity
to study the measure, only hearing 1t
read one time by a lady who was
here some time ago for the purpose
of eliciting support, or rather for the
purpose of having citizens of this
place bring pressure to bear upon
our Representative in behalf of the
act. We did, however, gain de-
cided impression from hearing the
bill read, that there were entirely too
many, quite high salaried offices and
positions created by the bill. The
act would have created a special de-
partment for evening, or what is
more commonly designated as moon.
light schools. The superintendent
or head of the Commission, as well
as all assistants, numbering several,
as our memory goes, of course were
to have drawn very nice salaries to-
gether with necessary expenses, which
was perfectly proper. We rather
think that at least one-half or more.
of the appropriation asked for would
have been consumed by special COM
and assistants and COM
paratively little of the funds set aside

The New York B..k Market

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE over
shadowing incident in the bond mar.
ket was a further severe break in the
liberties: CARRYING most Of them down
to much the lowest prices they have
yet sold. The second ANS were the
weakest with decline Of over 81 on
the $500 bond, but the third AIS and
the fourth 4As lost nearly as much.
Liberty 3bs were close to 80, but in
their case they did not equal the pre-
vious low record OF $3.50
The taxable liberty bonds are now
selling on better than a 6 per cent
basis and 1t is figured that they ought
soon to begin to attract buying
peWer sufficient to stem the tide Of
selling.
They are not cut Of line. however
with other government bonds. The
Swiss government 5hs at so are sell
ing on an per cent basis.
Railroad bonds were rather firmer
than they were yesterday

SUPREME COURT RULES
ON AUTHORITY OF I.C. c

Holding that the question had been
decided in the enactment of the trans
portation act enlarging the Inter-
state Commerce Commissions powers,
the United States Supreme Court yes
terday dismissed appeals in proceed
ings brought by railroad and steam
ship companies to determine the au-
thority of the commission to pre-
scribe the terms Interstate carriers
may insert in bills of lading.
The case resulted from commission
orders March IA. 1919. requiring the
use of two modified forms Of bills Of
lading for domestic and export trans
portation. The lower court enjoined
the commission from enforcing the
order, holding that, while Congress
unquestionably had power to make
changes in bills of lading. this power
had not been delegated TO the COM
mission.
Among the companies involved were
the Alaska Steamship Company. Clyde
Steamship Company. Delaware. Lack
aWanna and Western and the Central

two-day convention Of the Tobacco
Merchants Manufacturing Associa-
ton of America, which begins tomoF-

tive measures will at once be started

ness.
