Rate Fight UP to Congress.

Failure of the United States SUI
preme court to hand down a decision
In the Wisconsin test case to decide
whether or not the interstate com
merce commission has power to regu-
late railroad rates within the state
means that the point cannot be set
tied before October 10, the next de-
cision day. Immediately 1t became
known that the Supreme court had
failed to act according to Washington
dispatches, movement was started
by Wisconsin and the states which
supported her to have congress pass
a law clearly defining the matter.
While no direct action was taken by
the Wisconsin railroad commission,
according to Chairman Cari Jackson.
the state board is a member of the as
ISOLATION of railroad commissions
formed to test the power of the fed
eral board to fix intrastate rates. It's
committee in Washington would have
authority to take the matter up with
congress, said Mr.. Jackson, or one of
the senators from the states involved
might act. The first gun in the re
newed fight in congress was fired when
Representative Sweet, Iowa, intro
duced bill repeating the section OF
the Esch-Cummins transportation
act which gives the interstate com.
merce commission power to fix rates
high enough to give railroads a SO
per cent return on the investment
The measure also would take from
the federal board power TO regulate
intrastate rates and return 1t to the
state authorities.

Three States Fight Old Boundaries.
Michigan is threatening TO sue Wis
conSln> to obtain possession Of Hurley,
the richest village" in the world, and
$50 square miles Of Wisconsin terri
tory. Illinois and Wisconsin are in
dispute over their boundary line. The
upper peninsula OF Michigan wants TO
secede and form a new state Of Su-
perior, while Wisconsin hopes to annex
the rich peninsula country to herself.
And a mapmaker's error in the year
1855 is responsible for all the trouble,
according to Reuben G. Thwaites, sec
rotary Of the State Historical society
Of Wisconsin. The mapmaker. a man
named Mitchell. made the mistake OF
charting the foot Of Lake Michigan In
latitude II degrees and 20 minutes in
stead Of latitude Al degrees and 81
minutes. The error of less than one
degree, according to Mr.. Thwaites, was
responsible for the toledo war" be-
tween Ohio and Michigan, for the
placing of Chicago and its rich North
shore suburbs in Illinois instead of
Wisconsin, the annexation of the up
per peninsula to Michigan, and all the
boundary disputes that have grown
out of these events. Subsequent map
makers and surveyors who followed in
MtchelPs footsteps made one or two
other mistakes, which contributed to
the general confusion. When the con-
gress of the thirteen states, in session
at Philadelphia. July Is, 1877, adopted
an ordinance for the government of
the Northwest territory, embracing the
present states of Ohio, Indiana, Hi
nois and Michigan. Mitchelrs map was
used rs guide The ordinance pro-
vided that two of the five states should
lie north of an east and west line
drawn through the southern bend or
extreme of Lake Michigan" The pre-
amble of the ordinance stated that its
articles should forever remain I'M
alterable unless by common consent"
