RATES AND STATE LINES

In its decision denying the right of Florida
and Georgia to regulate freight and passenger
rates within their limits, the interstate COM
MERGE commission brushes away practically all
that remained of the once formidable stock of
state rights. Incidentally, it assumes powers
which are almost universal in their scope
The reasoning by which that body reached its
decision is worthy of the line of arguments by
which the states have gradually been emasculat-
ed. In effect, it is this: This state must not
permit lower rate between Lakeland and Tampa
than the federal authorities prescribe between
Savannah and Jacksonville because it would give
the Lakeland shipping to Tampa an adyan-
tage the Savannah man shipping to Jack
souville
Such logic is hard to answer; because if it's
fallacy can not be seen at glance it is hard
to demonstrate-like proving that one and one
make two, or that the shortest distance between
two points is straight line. But that is not say
ing the supreme court will not uphold the de-
cision. That august body, with due respect to
its augustness, has never lacked an excuse when
it question of taking from the states and
giving to the nation.
Yet one can not help wondering where the
interstate commerce commission will stop. If
it can regulate intra-state steam road rates, it
can control electric line rates If it prescribe
street car fares. it control the jitney buses.
Because the line of argument to which it is com
mitted is all-comprehensive in its scope.
However, there is one point in this connection
that is timely and worthy of earnest reflection.

"PoETs ARE BORN, NOT MADE"

All men are born poets The language of child

The earliest literature OF all ancient peoples is

stupidity do we become as commonplace and

In prose. But we are attempting to do quite

BIRD CAGES OUT OF STYLE

One lies ahed these fine mornings and listens
to the warblings of the mockng birds in the
nearby trees, and thinks of the days gone by
when the housewife was not satisfied unless she
had bird in cage, hanging in the porch, and
carefully taken into the house every night The
cage had to be cleaned once day, and the birds
had to be cared for carefully than child.
The good housewife boiled Irish potatoes and
eggs and fed only the yolks to the birds. Thou
sands of little hooking birds were Gagged in their
infancy and died when they reached about three
months of age. 1t was commonly thought that

THE HOME PAPER

The Mulberry Press of this week contains a
fine editorial on the home paper and the duty of
supporting it, Many columns might be written

local paper 1t is the connecting link with the
outside world. 1t is the greatest modern agency
of civilization, and the one which comes in most
intimate touch with the people. Like the country
minister, it performs a service the value of which
can never be fully estimated this side of the
judgment day. To withhold support because you
are taking a city paper, because your local
paper is less uptodate in some of it's features
than the metropolitan journals, is blow, not so
much at the paper itself as at the particular
spot on earth which ought to be held most sacred,
your own home. In that connection the Telegram

Washington dispatch says Florida farmers
are feeling the heavy slump in prices for agri-
cultural products, and accompanies the statement
with list of things selling for less than they
did year ago. This sort of reasoning proves
nothing, however. because. with everything else
going down in proportion the farmer today can
get more of everything except money for his
output than he got in 1920 AS a matter of fact
the slight decline in farm prices here leaves
Florida farmers in better shape than ever they
were before.

NAUGHTY LITTLE BIRDS

Notwithstanding the special efforts of reform
so prevalent these days, there are two hooking
birds that entertain us most every morning while
we are at our breakfast by giving dancing
stunt on the lawn in front of our dining room
window. We suppose should pull down the
window blinds to shut off the view of the naughty
little creatures as they apparently give their ex
hibition of the latest dancing steps, including
"shimmey," but we must be a sort of low-brow
ourself, for we enjoy the antics of these little
naughty worldly, hell-bound birds.
