STATE LINES
WIPED OUT
Supreme Court Renders I'M
portant Decision on Inter
State Freight and Passen-
ger Rates

washington, FEB. 21.-DeclaflnS
that commerce is 4 unit and does
not regard state lines the supreme
court today through Chief Justice
Taft, and without dissent, handed
down decision upholding1 the au-
1hority OF the interstate commerce
commission under the transporta-
ton act Of 1910 to fix railroad state
passenger fares wheu necessary to-
remove undue. unreasonable and
unjust discrimination against in
terstate commerce"
Two cases We're presented to the
court. One was brought by the
railroad commission Of Wisconsin
and others against the Chicago.
Burlington &; Quincy railroad seek
ing an injunction TO prevent the
railroads OF the. state from putting
into effect on state passenger fraf-
fic the rate OF sc cents per mile
allowed ky the government on in
terstatc travel. The other was
brought by the state Of New York
against the federal government,
the interstate commerce commits
sion and certain railroads Of that
state on the ground that the per
cent fare fixed by the public utility
commission produced reasonable
returns to the railroads upon their
state traffic. In both states freight
rates had been advanced 20 the in
terstate level without objection
from the states.

terstate commerce syStcnl is seek

make the system adequate to the
needs OF the country by securing
for il reasonable comptnSatOry
return for all the work ii does. the
chief justice stated in the opinion
'.The safes are seeking 10 use that
same system for 1ntrastate traffic.
That entails large duties and eX-
pcnditures on the interstate COM
mercc system which may burden it
unless compensation is received for
the intraState business reasonably
proportionate TO that for the inter-
state business. Congress as the
dominant controller OF interstate
commerce may, therefore, restrain
undue limitation of the earning
power Of the interstate commerce
system in doing state work. 1t can
impose any reasonable condition
on q state'5 use Of interstate car
riers for interstate commerce it
deems necessary or desirable. This
is because Of the supremacy OF the
national power in this field.

Juniors Begin
Organization at
School on Hill
BY JACK DEGOLIA.

The first step toward organize
ton of the Junior classes in the
same manner as the Senior classes
has been taken by the class of
'23, at Central. The Junior class
has elected representatives to the
newly formed Junior Council"
which will handle the affairs of the
Senior undergraduate class.
There has been a great deal Of
discussion over the proposition of
organization Of the third-year class,
but little has ever got beyond the
debate stage. There are annually
many calls for a Junior prom"
and other social functions which
the Seniors are able to enjoy be-
cause Of an organization competant
to handle the arrangements ex-
peditiously. Then again, the heads
Of the school always feel that they
can deal more directly with an
organized body, which Is prepared
to express its wishes promptly and
decisively, than is possible with
several hundred scattered students.
So. after much discussion as to
whether or not the advantages Of
one plan offset the disadvantages
Of the other. a happy medium was
struck In the form Of the Junior
Council. The Senior Council, con-
sisting Of two students from each
Senior section, has been elected,
and in It are naturally found the
most popular as well as the most
reliable and exemplary Of students.
1t has done excellent work in cor
rectly interpreting the attitude of
the class to the heads of the school.
In its semi-official position, 1t has
brought great benefit to the pupils
and faculty, and the honor attend
ant on membership has steadily
increased, So it was decided to
elect a Junior Council to correspond
to and work in cooperation with
the Senior organization.
