government to the Supreme Court. where the case remained four years upon the docket before being argued on April 20, 1921. At the request of the court it was reargued on April II. 1922.
 The dissolution issue involved in the case was whether the Central Pacific and the Southern Pacific are compet- ing lines or are single system. The government contended that the Pa- cific Railroads acts of 1862 and 1864. under which the two railroads were constructed with the aid of land grants and bond issues, required that the Central Pacific should be operated with the Union Pacific as one contin- uous line, without discrimination against or in favor of each other. The Central Pacific and the Southern Pa cific, the government insisted were separately projected, separately aided by land grants and public loans, separ- ate1y owned, separately leased, and prior to 1899 controlled by separate boards of directors.
 Railroad counsel contended that should the Supreme Court hold that there had been violation of the Pa cific Railroad acts, the remedy 'v">- not be by dismemberment, but by in- junction to restrain such violations.
 The Sherman antitrust act did not make it unlawful, railroad counsel ar gued, for the proprietor of railroad lines owned or controlled by him at the date of the passage of that law, to continue their operation, when such lines were not competitive, but which could be made so if divorced.
 That the suit was theoretical in na- ture was shown. they continued, by "the complete absence of complaint on the part of shippers or the pub Tie generally" and was "in the last analysis" experimental. The govern ment did not seek the destruction of new and unlawfulIy created condi- ton, they added, which took the place of an old and natural one, but it did seek "the destruction of an old and natural condition in order that it may create a new and untried experiment, a condition which has no prototype"

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Sen ate Finance Committee yesterday by a vote of nine to four ordered fav- yorable report on the Soldier Bonus measure fathered by Chairman Nc Cumber, senator from North Dakota.
 The amendment proposed by Sen ator Shoot of Utah for paid up life insurance in lieu of all other forms of adjusted compensation for ex-ser- vice men was defeated in the con- mittee by vote of eight to five. The three Democratic members pres gnt at the committee meeting voted against the Shoot plan. Discussing the committee measure, Senator Sim mons of South Carolina, the rank ing Demcratic member 6f the con- mittee, said that the Democratic seh- ators on the committee supported the McCumber bill only in order to get prompt action. He said that the Democrats do not favor the measure, and that the veterans themselves would receive but little benefit from it should the bill become law.
 The only real change in the Nc Cumber bill made by the committee was to change the date upon which the bonus would become effective from October 1, 1921 to January 1, 1923. Several Republican members of the Finance Committee gave mo- tice that they would oppose the tabling of the present tariff measure in order to speed up the passage of the bonus bill at any time in the near future.

 On Bonus BiLI
n.Ei \ 2 .@;;3 .s .tlmrs.

l the Upper House are trying to evolve a plan for expediting the bonus measure without seriously delaying consideration of the tariff bill
 The proposed bill provides that those soldiers whose service credit would entitle them to payments of sums of less than fifty dollars may be paid in cash. It gives the remaining veterans the following options: First, they may take adjusted service cer- tificates holding a face value of 3.051 times the amount of their ad- justed service credit computed at the rate of one dollar per day for ser vice in this country, and dollar and quarter per day for service over- twenty years from date of issue, but they contain provision which makes them collateral for bank loans at any time prior to January 1, 1926, after which time they are good col lateral for loans to be made by the government. Second, the soldiers have an option for aid in financing the purchase of a farm or home. Third, the vocational training privi- lege. Fourth and last option, pro- vides that upon the opening of any public lands, the veterans will have the preference for settlement; such sums as may be due them from the government for adjusted service pay may be applied as a credit on the purchase price of such lands or inn prOvements, with an allowance of an additional twenty-five per cent.

DELEGATIONS GO
BEFORE COUNTY
SCHOOL BOARD
Communities Petition School Board
Lewisburg Wants Consolidated
School - Dover Files
Loud Protest.

Monday was reception day for the
County Board of Education, which was
unable to get into it's routine work un-
til considerably after noon because of
the visit before them of delegations
from various parts of the county.
The first was a large delegation
from Lewisburg petitioning for. a
consolidated school. The progressive
citizens in this section of the county
are ready and willing to finance new
school building If the county board
will cooperate. Their proposition was
taken under consideration by the
board.
Another delegation was from Dover
and appeared before the board to pro-
test the proposed discontinuance of
the Dover two year high school. There
has been little interest taken in the
Dover High School and the enrolment
is very large. The board was consid-
ering discontinuing the Dover High
School and strengthening the grade
school. The High School students,
they were considering sending to the
Minerva High School, Dover people
seem to oppose this move very much
and their protest will be considered.
A delegation from Sardis appeared
before the board asking the discontini
uance Of horse drawn wagons to carry
their children to the Sardis school and
the substitution of automobile trucks.
This change will probably be made.
There is some thouble in the Min
erva consolidated school movement as
people in the Fern Leaf and German
town districts are complaining and
asking the privalege of sending their
children to the Germantown graded
school, which is located in Bracken
county.
1t appears that the County Board
will be unable to complete their work
scheduled for Mondays session.
