COURT uPHOLDS
TARIFF CONTROL
INTERSTATE BOARD CAN REou.
LATE RAILROAD RATES
WITHIN TERRITORY.
THE STATES LOSE FIGHT
DECISION MADE UNDER TRANS.
PoRTATioN ACT PASSED
IN 1920.


WashingtOn.-D Declaring that com
merce is a unit and does not regard
state lines the Supreme Court.
through Chief Justice Taft and with.
out dissent, handed down a decision
unfolding the authority Of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission under the
transportation act Of 1920 to fix state
railroad passenger fares when neces-
sary to remove undue, unreasonable
and unjust discrimination against In.
terstate commerce"
Two cases were presented to tho
court. One was brought by the rail-
road commission Of Wisconsin and 9th.
ers against the Chicago, Burlington 4
Quincy railroad, seeking an injunction
to prevent the roads Of the state from
putting Into effect on state passenger
traffic the rate Of SO cents per mile
allowed by the government on inter.
state travel.
The other was brought by the state
Of New York against the federal gov.
eminent, the Interstate Commerce
Commission and certain railroads Of
that state, on the ground that the
Scent fare fixed by the public utility
commission produced reasonable re.
turns to the railroads upon their state
traffic.
Congress In It's control Of Its inter.
state commerce system ls seeking Ia
the transportation act to make the sys-
TEN adequate to the needs Of the coun-
try by securing for It a reasonable
compensatory return for all the work
1t does" the chief justice stated In the
opinion. 1.-THE states are seeking to
use that same system for intrastate
traffic. That entails large duties and
expenditures on the interstate COM
merce system, which may burden 1t
unless compensation Is received for
the intrastate business reasonably
proportionate to that for the interstate
business. Congress, Us the dominant
controller of Interstate commerce,
may, therefore, restrain undue limRa.
ton Of the earning power Of the inter.
state commerce system In doing state
work.
1T can impose any reasonable con.
dltion on states use of Interstate
carriers for intrastate commerce II
deems necessary or desirable. This
is because Of the supremacy Of the
national power In this field"
Referring to the question that the
conclusion Of the court would give the
Interstate Commerce Commission "uni.
fled control Of interstate and intra.
state commerce." the court declared
that such control was unified only to
the "extent Of maintaining efficient
regulation Of interstate commerce UNI
der the paramount power Of Con
gress." The decision OF the court
docs not involve general regulation Of
intrastate commerce." 1t added.
1t suggested that ''the action of the
Interstate Commerce Commission In
this regard should he directed to sub.
stantial disparity which operates as
real discrimination against. and OBJ
structlon to, Interstate commerce, and
must leave appropriate discretion to
the state authorities to deal with inter.
state rates rs between themselves on
the general level which the Interstate
Commerce Commission has found h
be fair TO Interstate commerce"

HOUSEWIVES ASK MAYOR
AND COUNCIL FOR GAS
Movement On Foot To Obtain Gas
For Cooking Purposes
In Pocomoke.

A petition was presented to the
mayor and city council Monday night
CT this week by number of the la
dies of Pocomoke The petition ap-
proved of an up-to-date gas plant for
the city, and suggested that the mat
ter receive their consideration. This
is most commendable project and is
heartily endorsed by the majority of
housewives of the city. These ladies'
realize that gas is very important
household commodity and absolutely
essential in every home for cooking
purposes. We sincerely hope some
definite action will be taken in the
matter and the results satisfactory to
the local women interested. With an
gas plant, a first-class five
and ten cent store, the next thing of
vital importance is the garbage ques-
Ion, but a discussion of this will come
later. Pocomoke, bigger and better"
is fairly under way. watch 1T

the Empire Theatre, who for nearly
three months has been housed with
was down town this week
for the first time since he was first
taken ill. Mr.. Bratten was i'll at the
time of the big fire. The home of his
father, where he was residing, was
burned and he had to be removed to
the home of his aunt, Mrs. Clarence
Stevenson, on Clarke avenue. There
he remained until last Saturday when
he moved to his temporary quarters
over the Empire Theatre. Mr.. Brat

shows that he has been sick man.
He is however, rounding to now and
will soon be his real self again. His
many friends throughout the town

Heavy Thunder Storm
Visited This Section

This section was visited by one of
the heaviest thunder storms on We'd
nesday last that has been experienced
here for some years. Not only was
the thunder heavy but the lightning
was terrific at times Fortunately for
US, however, the clouds were at dis
tance and very little rain accompan-
led the storm. The cloud seemed to
follow the river a part of the way up
the. county and apparently went to
sea. 1t is said that the lightning
struck in several places near town but
at this writing We have been unable
to ascertain any very serious damage
that was done. 1t seems that storms
are getting to be more frequent than
in the olden times and sure it is that
they are much more terrific in their
character.

Our New Buildings
Progressing Finely.

The weather of the past week has
been of such a character as to retard
building operations to some extent
and because of the heavy rains the
various contractors have not been able
to make the showings that they other
wise would have done. Notwithstand-
ing this setback, however, much work
has been done and it is plainly dis
cernable. There are only four new
buildings under construction, those of
L. w. Veasey, N. Davis & Sons, R. j.
Lambden and Lloyd & Blaine. The
walls of the first two named are near
ing completion and unless we are
much mistaken they will be ready for
the roof by the end of the coming
week. The cellars for the Lambden
and Lloyd & Blaine structures have
been put in this week and the cOntrac-
tors will get to work on the walls
sometime during the coming week,
and will rush the jobs as speedily as
possible. In addition to these the
contractors are rebuilding the fronts
of the stores of w. E. Hall & Son.
Samuel j. Maddox and David Will
bank, Jr., on Market street. The fin
ish will be of stucco design ,and will
be entirely different from the other
buildings along Market street.

are included in that district The city
portion contains nearly one-nalf the
entire vote of the district, casting at
the election two years ago 47,069
votes of total of 102,692, and it is
thought that it will be the principal
battle-ground between him and Car
vile D. Benson, who announced his
candidacy last week.
"Antony Dimarco, a member of the
last Legislature where he was called
"the poor mans friend" because of
his championship of all measures
claimed to be in the interest for the
impecunious, stated that he is bona
fide candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the House of Repre-
sentatives in the Third district. Mr..

claims that John Philip Hill has moth

We are not responsible for the asser-

"Policical circles in Somerset coun-

last week that Harry T. Phoebus

Schools Being Closed
They Enjoy Vacation

The schools of this county and in
fact of nearly all of the counties of
the State closed last week. This
means that teachers and scholars
alike are enjoying their much needed
vacation. Some will go to the sea-
shore, Others to the mountains and
still others will remain at home and
enjoy the quietness of their hometown
life. They all deserve this season of
rest and the pubic at large will join
us in expressing the hope that they
will enjoy every minute of the time
and return to their labors for the
next year strengthened for the duties
ahead of them.

BIDS ARE ASKED FOR
THE STOCKTON ROAD
Roads Commission To Complete
Pocomoke-Stockton Road This
Year.--Distance as Miles

The long-hoped-for is about to hap
Fen and Pocomoke City, Stockton and
IN fact the entire southern end of the
county is now rejoicing. The State
Roads Commission has determined to
complet the gap in the State High
way b,tN:ccn this city and Stockton
and they are advertising for bids for
the construction of the same in this
issue of our paper as well as in the
city dailies. The distance to be con-
structed for is As miles, which will
complete the road between the two
towns.
The appearance of the advertise
ment and the announcement that the
road will be completed this year has
been the cause of much rejoicing in
this city as we'll as in all the locali-
ties in the southern end of the county
This is, indeed, very importan
riece of highway, connecting as it
does two of the important towns of
the county. The road was commenced
some years ago, in fact it was one or
the first ever started in this section
of the county. Four miles of the
road were constructed some years
ago and since that time nothing has
Eeen done toward completing the job,
notwithstanding the fact that our
people have been diligent in their eff
forts with the Commission in the
premise.
Not only will this road be a great
convenience to the two towns in ques-
ti1n but it will open up great coun-
try that needs just such an improve
ment. All along this highway and
for several miles back on either side
are large and productive farms, own
eh and carried on by wideawake, pros
porous farmers. The new State road
will put them much nearer to the rail
road stations and they will thus be
greatly benefited in getting their
produce to ths markets.
AS we have said the completion of
this popular highway has been hoped
for by our people for great many
years. Now that it is to be completed
We take off our hats to the State
Loads Commission and look forward
to greater things for the people of the
two towns as we'll as to all of those
who reside along the eptire line.
