This is an lmpell- ing moral obligation to American farming in all it's larger aspects, and it will be most gratifying to have your early sanction.
 Moral Obligations
 "In the case of the railroads there is moral and contractural obli- gation and your favorable action is no less urgent, and will no less ap- peal. to public approval. Railway solvency and efficiency are essential to our healthful industrial, conner cial and agricultural life. Everything hinges on transportation.
 "After necessary and drastic cur tailments. after narrowing straits in meeting their financial difficulties the railways need only this financial aid which the fulhllment of our ob1iga- tions will bestow, to inaugurate their far reaching revival. It's effects will be felt in various industries and will banish to a large degree the depres- sion which though inevitable in war s aftermath, we are all so anxious to see ended"
 With his message the president sent also to congress a large amount of data from Director Gen. Davis of the railroad administration showing the progress of liquidation so far and treating of present financial condi- tions

DECISION RESERVED
 IN JIlNEY CASES
(Continued from First Page.) Chestnut streets and to Mountain Grove.
 Further questioning by the defense counsel brought out that the cars are running today as usual.


 In his argument for a conviction, the prosecutor said in part
 There can be no question but that Landino was operating a jitney, which, under the law, includes all a manner as to afford a service sim liar to that given by street railway. No call was put in by Policeman Strdls and he was at no time asked where he wished to go. The same facts hold true m the case of Po- liceman Lamphere.
 'Landlno was indiscriminately re- ceiving and discharging passengers in the manner prohibited by the sta tute and was therefore, in truth, op- erating a jitney. The establishment of two offices was nothing more or less than subterfuge.'
 After summing up the evidence pre- sented by the three policemen, Law yer Peck pointed out that Landino was, not arrested at the jitney sta tion but in front of police headquar- ters. He drove, Policeman Lamphere to this point, which is beyond the jitney station, when not under arrest and this clearly indicated that he was conducting a taxi service, the pointed out that the French cars are properly licensed as taxis and there fore can be conducted as such.
 Scores New Law.
 Continuing, he said:-
 This jitney statute is something of curiosity, anyway. It is derogatory to common law and must, therefore he given strict construction, In its construction the citizens must be fa- vored as against the state. The deh- milton given for a jitney is one of the meanest I have ever struck. It pro- nibits a service similar to that afford ed by street railway company, there by preventing competition with a troll Icy. But, it does not attempt to pre- vent the picking up of passengers on the street. The act is intended to hit vehicles on a fixed route. French,s csrs are not of this type.
 ''The Public Utilities Commission could not give John Smith the right to run all over town without fixing a route, regardless of whether there is trolley service in that town or not. If route is fixed it is a jitney and comes within the province of the P. U. c. to rule if it is not it is a taxi and does not come within the province of that commission.
 MT. French is running a taxi and has a right to do so. True, the great CT part of his business comes from the West Main street district where he is best known in a business way. He has established two offices but not as a subterfuge, as the prosecutor has pointed out, this fact being clear ly indicated by the continuance, even today, of the service.
 "Your Honor has seen many sta tutes go through the legislature in his career and must know that many of them are hard to construe. In this newalaw which has never been given a test in the higher courts it is we'll that a strict construction be given, especially since it is derogatory to the common law"
 The defense counsel accepted Judge Klett's recommendation that the case cf Stephen Heslin, similarly chargei, be continued until Saturday morning for disposition following a decision in the Landino case
