 BEFORE COMMISSIONS:
 OPPOSES HIGHER RATE


 PHOENIX. Sept. 17.-Protests by operating mining companies and other interests against an increase of 25 per cent in freight rates within the state enliyened a hearing before the state corporation commission here to- day in which the carriers asked in. creases as follows:
 Freight rates 25 per cent; passen ger fares 20 per cent and 50 per cent surcharge on Pullman fares.
 A; the opening of the hearing, cOun- sel for the railroads asked that the increases be allowed, basing his argu- men; on the statement that the inter. state commerce commission had al lowed the raises on interstate ship ments.
 Protests. chiefly by mining inter esis. were made immediately, the statement being made that if the iD- creases weer allowed, practically all small mines and leased properties ip ihe state would be compelled to. close The welfare of the large com panies would be materially and ad verseiy affected, it was added The protests were made in the face of I declaration of counsel for the carriers. ,ha; provision of the Cummings Esch bill gave the interstate com. merce commission 10 increase intra- state rates when those rates conflict ed with interstate rates
 The frs, protest was made by J. E. Curry. secretary of the Arizona brancA os he American Mining Con- gres-. speaking in behalf of the mines. in general.
 Ee lad especial stress on the as- sert.on that while rates increased in specific instances might be justified, a blanket raise would be unwarranted and unfair bother speakers against the increases took the same position.
 C II Dowell, general manager Of the Copper Quee branch of the Phelp~ Dodge corporation protested freight rates on ores between Bisbee and Douglas and fluxes between St Pauis spur and Douglas. where the Copper Queen and Calumet and Ari- zona smelters are located Dowell al so launched protest with regard 10 customs smehing Any increases in freight rates or ores from any mining center 70 Douglas, he said, must re. suit in closing small mines Smelling costs. he added. had almost doubled through freight rate raises already in esfec; and the volumn of customs ores had already been cut down.
 G NJ Colyocorresses. general mana ger Of he Consolidated Arizona Smelling company at Humbolt, cited two specific hauls in which he said the rate increases could not be made without harm. The first was the haul from Bouse 10 Humbolt and the sec ond 3o-;nile haul of silver ore to Humbol; He added that in the case of more than 60 customs ore shippers to the Humbolt smelters, a freigh: rate increase would mean an almost .oJal s;oppace of production.
 ". G. Mcbride, general manager of the Old Dominion Mining company. filed two protests. The first was against proposed increase Of from s2.5O a ton to s3.l2 1-2 ton on low grade ores from Bisbee to Globe He said the present rate was too hig5 declaring the net value of the ore. in cluding its iron sulphide content. was only s755. The proposed rate would almost half the total value. he said, before any smeitia- was attempted. Such a tariff MT Mcbride. would halt the movement of the low grade ores and concentrates.

PUT TO BED AT 6:3O

If the small boys in West Orange. N l. so msbe- have themselves fall afou of police court they put to bed nightly 630 by order of the police order Once every week they must appear at court with a signed statement from their parents saying that the der has been Obeyed Where the need is indicated the police follow the thing up that their is lodging deceit Juvenile delinquency is already the de- cline though the plan has been in operation but short time.
 This wholesome. old fashioned method of discipline has much to recommend it. Many children are mis- chievons mainly because they do not get sleep enough They drift off to the movies conso with the gang in to shadows plotting and acquiring all sorts of evil and their parents pay attention. Put these children to bed at early hour and make their parents responsible for their staying there and the difficulties Furthermore having to forego his pleasure and his and go bed with the birds will rob the tough est little scamp of his prestige among his mates and iuction from the pinnacle is ill itself salutary thing
 We pinch dollars but squander public ney like fools.
