The monetary unit in Brazil is the

in practice only the plural refs is used
and the unit is really the milreis, or
one thousand refs For some years
the milreiS had remained at the fixed
value of 10 to the English pound, or
about $3.50 reis to the American dol
lar. In larger transactions the unit
is the conto, one million refs. Gold
is never seen in circulation in Brazil.

guments in the Wisconsin rate case,
described by some participating at

the authority to supervise state rates

ton act of 1920.
II. J. Farrell appearing for the
interstate commerce commission,
cited specific instances Of alleged
discrimination against interstate
rates when a state was allowed 20
maintain lower schedules within its
borders. AZ a result, he said, so
far as revenues of the carriers were
concerned" interstate commerce is
converted into intrastate." lie de-
MED that the commission had acted
arbitrarily in raising rates, citing
it's invitation 10 state commissions
TO enter the hearings, and argued
that adequate authority for its ac-
tion could be found in the COM
merce act. under which the COM
mission was organized.
A new angle was given the case
today when, in a supplemental brief.
counsel for the various states at
tackled the commissions order for
increa sed rates as providing rev.
enues for in excess of the amount
guaranteed the carriers under the
transportation act.
In the western territory the brief
said. an increase Of Ga per cent in
passenger fares would have been
sufficient % return six per cent on
the roads agreed valuation instead
Of the 20 per cent increase ordered
