Teachers and Pupils Fares
In Brunswick and Topsham

A decision has been rendered by
the Public Utilities Commission or
dering that the Androscoggin & Ken
nebec Railway charge for transporta-
ton of teachers and pupils in the
towns Of Topsham and Brunswick the
same rate of fare which it charges
teachers and pupils or scholars in the
other localities which it serves. all IN
accordance with its schedule Of rates
on file with this commission Teach
ers and pupils are transported at
about a half rate in other localities
served by the railway.
When the predecessor Of the An
droscoggin & Kennebec Street Rail
way obtained its location in the towns
of Topsham and Brunswick, each of
these towns placed in the permit a
certain condition, the language in
each condition being identical and
being as follows: Within the limits of
Brunswick the railroad company shall
transport pupils and teachers to and
from school over its lines for a fare
of two cents says the public utili-
ties commissioners in their decision.

railway>and the law Of the State au-
! thorized the municipal officers Of
Brunswick to impose such conditions
and terms upon the street railway as
to such municipal officers seemed eX-
| pedient, and that having imposed the
above condition il was binding upon
the street railway, and constituted an
| obligation which should now be en-
forced.
MIR. Wheeler further argues that
the statutes and the law of Maine au-
thoriZed the imposing of this condl-
ton, that the legislature by a special
act approved and made valid the To-
cation of the street railway, thus ap
proving and confirming the procedure
by which its location has been OBJ
tanned, including the above named
condition or provision, and that this
commission is either without author
ity to change the terms OF the permit
or franchise or it is inequitable to
make any change.
If the rate of nine cents for
teacher in Lewiston is just and rea-
sonable. a rate OF two cents in
Brunswick is surely unreasonable,
either so far as the teacher in Drums
wick and Topsham is concerned or
the one in Lewiston. The same thing
is true with reference to pupils, and
il there is no controlling reason for
this difference in fare then there IS
q .scr.mination. Discrimination in the
absence of lawful excuse or Justlflca-
ton is unlawful.
II seems to he law that the
municipal officers of Brunswick and
Topsham. in imposing conditions.
were acting as public officers. per
forming governmental service. and
that the legislature had undoubted
authority to afterward enact a law
under which these conditions might
be changed and the further perform
ance of those conditions become law
full.
The legislature has enacted the
rublic utility statute, under winch III
the judgment of the commission. II
would be unlawful TO require or per-
NIT the street railway to transport
teachers and scholars in Topsham ana
Brunswick at the rate mentioned IN
the condition. Being unlawful, II
should be prohibited. and it is our
Judgment that no reason mas peeh
shown why it is not entirely equitable
for the street railway and the teach
ers and pupils of Brunswick ana
Topsham, to comply with the law as y
exists. and pay the same fare that
other like passengers pay for similar

Visiting Old Home

Thomas NJ. Pickett. United States

Friday morning. While his duties as

liiticai situation. as those coming from
the outside are always said to have a

familiar with. OF course the United
States marshal has better line on
Washoe county than any other. due to
the fact that he is obliged to spend
much of his time In Reno. He said
that since that attack made upon Sem
lator Henderson in the Nevada State
journal things had changed consider
ably. He also says that while Washoe
county was conceded to the republican
candidate prior to the newspaper at

cast next Tuesday Is likely to be in
favor of Senator Henderson. Mr.. Pick
EFT assigns as his reason for this that
the article referred TO caused such a
furore that IL will bring out people
who would otherwise remain silent and
simply cast their vote for their choice.
Now all are taking part in the discus
sion and this Is giving wide publicity.

have taken an interest and this Is
bringing out the endorsement of Sem

Mr. Pickett SAYS that the senator's

II Is pointed out that such attacks in

her entire career. and never has she
achieved so much in an emotional part
or taken advantage OF the opportuni-
ties presented with more personal
glory.

and one OF the finest dramatic pictures
ever produced and the most notable
film event of the year. Having a
theme that is of universal interest and
possessing dramatic incident that Is
seldom ecualled, the picture grips and
thrills in every sequence as 1t builds
slowly but surely to the great climax.
