The States Departing Powers


 The decision on Thursday of the Interstate Com nsrcs Commission dspriving the state railway com missions of almost the vestige of their control Of the railroads passing through the states was surprise nowhere to those who had made a study or the Esch-Cummins law. The power which the commission now asserts incidental to one of purposes for which the law was framed, the guar anteeing of the returns of the railroads
 It has already been settled that intrastate rates should not operate to ds-arrange interstate rates That was done in the Shreveport several years ago But with the earnings of the roads, the com mission was then less intimately concerned. That was before the government had undertaken the fix ing of wages and the regulation of securities as mnutely as it is empowered to do under the new railway legislation.
 The railways then were required to establish the reasonableness of rate for which application was made and that passed upon by the commission whose next business to see that the rates were not discriminatory.
 Rates purely intrastate commerce. that is, commerce originating and discharged within state, would not necessarily disturb interstate commerce rates but they might, and almost certainly would work to decrease the earnings of the roads some of the states among them, Arizona had re- fused to advance the rates on intrastate commerce hence the exercise by the commission of one of the powers granted it under the adjust conflicts between federal and jurisdiction" and in the language of the decision Ito exercise control over intrastate commerce far as it affects interstate commerce" that is. the earnings of the roads en- Eaged in interstate
 We suppose the decision would not apply to commerce pure intrastate roads, those having no relationship to interstate roads, but there are now very few such roads. Nearly all roads are now within one of the 20 to 35 groups which the com mission is empowered arrange them
 Many of the states so situated that the decf- sion win seriously affect them those of tn. east and the middlewest where but a comparatively small part of the commerce is intrastate. But Arizona will oe seriously affected especially by the higher rates on ore destined for smeters within the state and the rates lumber.
 Many of the smaller mines of this state under the present rates barely to send their ore to the smeiters By the greater rates the narrow margin now enjoyed by the small mine owner and the pros- pector win be entirely wiped out
 The deciston anticipates what would likely have occurred but for this expression by the commission general detlaration by the states against the ad vance of rates, or such a declaration bv so many states as to npair the earnings of the roads which the government under the latest railroad legislation boundt to protect
 We do not suppose that this is the end of the mat ter The decision will almost certainly be ouestioneo for, though the commission has probably exercised no power beyond that given by law may well be asked whether not the law does not irpinea unon fle rights of the states

 We nominate for our hall of fame Champion Sir Gallant of Phoenix. Ariz. Sir Gallant is held up to view, not because his breeder, c. w Mears. also of Phoenix, is a user of Standard products (although he isl, not for any thing Sir Gallant has done lalthough he has won more silver cups than any of our champion baseball teams), but because Sir Gallant is what he is: He's the peer. or better, of any Rhode Is- land Red rooster in America. which should interest any nrotorfst who owns farm or a backyard and is in- terested in chickens.
 Sir Gallant is a product of the Mears poultry farm. He won over hundreds of blooded birds at the Cali fornia state fair in 1918 when he was adJudged the best cockerel of any breed shown.
