Reasonable Return.
In the matter Of reasonable re-

that until March |, 1922, railroads
had been legally entitled to 6 per

gate OF property used in transporta-
ton. The sum was fixed by the
transportation act as the amount
equal to S l-2 per cent with IL of !
per cent additional to be granted in
the discretion of the commission for

commission aired this discretion and
the reasonable return consequently
has generally been known as "the {

that the return allowed in 1920 was
not realized"
Commissioner Potter in a sepa-
rate opinion concurring with the ma.
jority declared that the fixing of
the percentages mention = = >
is in effect requirement that the
present rates and charges shall gen.
orally speaking be reduced 10 per
ccnt--certain reductions heretofore
made to be treated as part OF such
10 per cent reductions"
The majority opinion reviewed the
recent history of rate regulation and
set forth summaries of arguments
made by shippers in favor Of reduc.
tions and OF carriers against reduc-
tDns. 1t expressed the conclusion
that the Assumption that railroad
rates can or should be stabilized on
the present high basis is futile"
Reason for Method.
The majority further said that "un-
til the public is convinced that there
is little likelihood Of immediate fur.
ther material reductions in prices OF
transportation charges, confidence
necessary to normal business will ex-
tend upward"
Explaining the reason for adopting
horizontal method of reducing
rates, the commission said that. while
alterations in price levels had un-
equally affected different commodi-
ties, "the needs of commerce cannot
be met if rates are to fluctuate with
market prices of commodities"
Its conclusion was that reduction
should be made generally upon all
commodities in substantially equal
ratio" rs.
! Chairman McChord in his dissent
ing opinion objected to the rate of
return allowed and expressed the
opinion that it should not exceed S.
per cent and that in any case the
commission should not set value at
the present time.
I'm my judgment the general re-
ductions now decreed fall short OF
full attainment Of the desired end"
he added. "The present level Of rates
on basic articles, should be
materially reduced"

In speaking OF igh, wines and

They will ask for leh, beer to-
day, strong beer tomorrow, Whisky
will follow and the debauehery
which comes from the traffic will be
inevitable.
The whole bootleg, rum-running
law-deiying army is concentrating
for an attack upon the constitution
by means OF beer and wine amend.
ment We have met them thus lar
both in congress and in the state
legislatures and have uniformly de-
ieaied this effort TO destroy the pro.
hibi,ion amendment, and is enforce.
ment.
Tho issue which we face today is
essentially tina, OF law and order.
Until the eighteenth amendment is
repealed. law abiding citizens mus,
support il and help TO enforce il. II
the liquor opposition can break down
this part OF the constitution by the
methods now proposed. every other
group opposed TO other laws can use
the same methods and soon the gov
ernment itself will be destroyed"
William J. Morgan, attorney gen.
eral for Wisconsin, followed Mr..
Wheeler on the speakers stand.
Greater Foes.
Because our republic has lived for
1873 years. do not think that Il can
not be destroyed" he said. Venice,
Rome, Car,hagc' and Athens all fell
because they forgot obedience to
their laws, the foundation on which
rested their prosperity.
Until we come to look back upon
violation of the prohibition law with
the same contempt that we look. upon
crimes against person and property,
the moonshiner and bootlegger will
be greater foes against the govern
ment than burglars and thieves.
Light Wines and Beer.
"The sale OF light wine and beer,
as advocated by some, would make
the detection OF the sale Of stronger
liquor harder and would break
down the law. ! never noticed that
light wines and beer were discov-
cred from whisky.
mo law violation can be accom-
plished unless some citizen knows
Of il, and if it is not reported to au-
thorities il is a thrust at the gov
ernmcnt. The day Of the NOON
sinner and bootlegser will be fin
ished when each Of US does our full
duty in reporting law violations.
Every good citizen and peace
officer has no choice but to obey
and enforce the law, no matter what
the law is. To enforce one law and
not another is but a step toward
nonenforcement OF all laws"
