issuing an order, dated Cocay, by
which passenger and freight rates
for intrastate traffic in Indiana are
to be increased March "a to a point

classes of traffic, is unlawful and an

Baltimore & Ohio Railway Company and
other common carriers fled a petition
with the Interstate Commerce commits

Indiana be raised to a level with the in
terstate rates.
1t is alleged that at the hearing be-

made as to the cost Of intrastate trans

Indiana compared with Interstate rates
and charges of a similar character ex-

PASSES PURDUE
STATION LEVY
Senate Sends Measure Back
to House With Slight
Increase.

The bill providing a tax levy Of two
fifths Of a cent on each $100 Of taxable
property for the Purdue agricultural ex-
pertinent station, was passed by the Sen
ate today by a vote Of ~ TO 0. Under
the present valuation of approximately
six billion dollars, the levy viii produce
$240 900 a year for support Of the sta
ton, but It IS estimated this will be cut
with the new valuation of personal prop
erty.
The bill now goes back to the House
because Of a Senate amendment chang
ing the amount from three-eighths Of a
cent to two-ffths Of a cent The change
was made, 1t was explained. to make
bookkeeping easier for employees Of the
office Of the Auditor Of State and for
the various county auditors and treas
urers
TELLS OF WORK
DONE AT STATION.
In speaking for the bill, Senator Estes
Duncan. Cloverdale told Of the work Of
the station. Senator Oliver Kline Of
Huntington, while he said he would favor
the bill. declared he did not believe IL
would do all Senator Duncan claimed for
1t. He de6ed professors Of agriculture
at Purdue to operate a l60-acre farm
and make an annual profit Of per cent.
The Senate also passed without
amendment the pure seed bill which was
recently passed by the House. The bill
provides tha seeds sold IN the state must
be labeled to show the percentage Of
termination and the percentage OF for

INSUFFICIENCY
NOT SHOWN.

1t also is charged that no evidence
was submitted to the commission that
the rates then in effect did not yield a
fair charge for the service given: neither
was any evidence offered to show that
the rates established by the public seFv-
ice commission for intrastate. traffice i'm
posed an unlawful burden on Interstate
commerce.
The complaint then goes on to say
that the order issued by the commission
today was not based on the theory that
the rates of the public service commits
sion were an unlawful burden on inter-
state traffic in any sense other than the
assumption that any rates other than the
interstate rates would constitute a bur-
den. 1t is conended that the order was
issued on the arbitrary theory that the
interstate commerce commission had the
power to prescribe and regulate rates for
intrastate passenger and freight traffic,
when. as a matter Of fact. the commits
sion has no such power and therefore the
order IS unlawful. The complaint insists
enforcement of the order will entail a
great and irreparable damage to citizens
of Indiana.
The complaint says that the effect Of
the order will be to produce rates fares
and charges which VIII be unjust, un-
reasonable and unlawful
PROPER REMEDY

1t is also charged that if the carriers
believed the rates fixed by tire public
service commission were unjust, unlaw-
full or unreasonable they had an ade-
quate remedy under the laws of Indiana.

State courts asking that the public serv-
