FEDERAL AUTHORITIES STRIVE
 FOR UNIFORM RATES

The tendency of federal authorities to co-, ordinate interstate and intrastaterairoad traf- fife, both freight and passenger, is emphasized in the recent decision of the supreme court of the United States in the Wisconsin and New York cases, where orders of the state utility commissions for lower fntrastate passenger rates than the interstate rates existing under the transportation act are held invalid
 Relations between the interstate and intra- state regulation of traffic are tending toward it is impossible to allow independent action by all the states on intrastate rates without con sideration of their bearing on the interstate system There is where the rub comes in h. terstate and intrastate traffic are so correlated that it will always be a problem to decide where the rights of the state and the rights of federal authorities begin and end, where they become logically separated and capable of be- ing handled separately without affecting the system whole.
 The supreme court has decided that the in- terstate commerce commission has the right to fix intrastate rates when necessary to Ire move undue, unreasonable and unjust dis criminations against interstate commerce. The decision is not on its surface a drastic one but it points to the intention of federal author ity to maintain the interstate character of rail road operation. The decision is all the more significant in that the entire court coincided in the opinion of Chief Justice Taft.
 Abolition of state supervision of local traf- fc matters does not seem to be involved in the decision, but it is evident that the highest legal tribunal of the country does not believe in allowing state interference with interstate traffic through intrastate regulations that tend in that direction. Some kind of uniform ap- plication will result from the effort to har- monize interstate and intrastate traffic.

nm able servant out OF public life, A
partisan deal has been consummated by
both major political machines for the
retirement of Surrogate Cohalan. The
issue is greater than that of persons or
personalities. The principle that a
good judge should be retained, ire
spective Of political considerations, is
at stake.
"The reply Of the electorate must
be the same in 1922 as 1t was in 1919.
The principle which demands the non
partisan denomination and reelection
of judicial officers who have served n
full term creditably, applies TO the i'm
portant judicial office Of Surrogate Just
as fully as to judges of the Supreme
Court.
"The Citizens Union believes that
Surrogate Cohalan has made an excel
lent record both 30 an administrator
and as 8 judge. His early credtable
record as legislator and his fourteen
years of efficient service as Surrogate
in fairness to the public, to the bench
and to the Surrogate himself. The
voters of New York must defeat the
brazen attempt to eliminate him.
THE designated candidates, Justice
Frank j. Coleman jr. and Corporation
Counsel John P. O'Brien, can render
no greater public service than to
sustain the freedom of the judiciary
by declining nomination. Justice Cole
mans continued candidacy would con-
stitute distinct abandonment of the
excellent record so far achieved by
him and threaten to impair the adj
vancement of his judicial career.
"The Citizens Union proposes to
lend every aid to the group of indie
pendent voters who have formed COM
mittee to further Surrogate Cohalans
campaign"

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 23.--Al-

Seeing Hearst
Campaign Manager Still In
sists the Editor Will Get
the Syracuse Nomination;
Sees Victory in Buffalo

William j. Corners, of Buffalo, the
multi-millionaire manager OF the
Hearst-for- Governor campaign, after o
conference yesterday with William r
Hearst, said that he had not changed
his opinion, that Hearst will be the
nominee of the Syracuse convention
and that he will be the next Governor
Of the Empire State,
When his attention was called to
scores OF Endorsements of former Gov
ernor Alfred e. Smith in the upstate
counties, Mr.. Corners smiled and with
every appearance of confidence in the
result said:
LET the various candidates get all
the Endorsements they can. Hearst
will have the delegates at the SYRIA
cuse convention"
Buffalo Battle Won, He Says
When asked about the primary battle
in Erie, where the Corners men will
try to elect delegates to the Syracuse
convention favorable to former Mayor
Fuhrmann, of Buffalo, for Governor,
Mr. Corners said things in Buffalo are
in good shape and that the Fuhrmann
men will elect their entire ticket
against w. I'll. Fitzpatrick, the organ
iaAtion leader, who is favorable to AL
Smith.
Former Mayor John j. Irving, Of
Binghamton, associated with Edward
S. Harris and Mr.. Corners in the man
agement Of the Hearst campaign, after
comforting with Mr.. Corners gave out
this statement:
"Mr. Hearst is stronger to-day than
he has been at any time. In the COM
ing state convention former Mayor
Fuhrmann, of Buffalo, will have dele
gates; Congressman Peter G. Ten
Eyck, of Albany; Mayor Lunn, of
Schenectady; Ex-Mayor Burns, of Troy,
and former Mayor Irwin, of Kingst ton,
will have delegates from up the state,
but Mr.. Hearst will have great many
more than anyone else, and those dele
gates that favor Mr.. Hearst will be at
the convention and they will be for
Mr.. Hearst. He unquestionably will
have more upstate delegates in the
convention than all the other candi-
dates combined.
"The propaganda in the press grow
ing out of the ambitions of the other
candidates, which is attempting to mini
mize the known strength Of Mr.. Hearst,
is nothing but propaganda, and will
have no effect whatever at convention
time"

"Mr. Koenig is greatly in error in

which not only embraces law and
equity, but embraces administrative
duties possessed by no other court of
the state, and proceeding started in
this court involving both law and
equity does not go through the ramifi-

The Citizens Union, after a meeting

"In recent years the Union has not
