SUPREME COURT
UPHOLDS !. c. c.
AUTHORITY OVER
STATE RAILWAYS
TRepubIican A. P. Leased wIre1

A~(a9CQ
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Declar-
ing that commerce is a unit and does
not regard state lines" the supreme
court today through Chief Justice
Taft and without dissent handed
down a decision upholding the au-
thority of the interstate commerce
commission under the transportation
act Of 1920, to fix state railroad pas
senger fares when necessary to re-
move undue, unreasonable and un-
Just discrimination against interstate
commerce"
Two cases were presented to the
court. One was brought by the rail-
road commission Of Wisconsin and
others against the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy railroad, seeking an in
junction to prevent the roads OF the
State from putting into effect on state
passenger traffic the rate of 3.6 cents
per mile allowed by the government
on interstate travel.
The other was brought by the state
Of New York against the federal gov
ernment, the interstate commerce
commission and certain railroads Of
that state, on the ground that the
3-cent fare fixed by the public utility
commission produced reasonable re-
turns to the railroads upon their
state traits. In both states freight
rates had been advanced to the inter-
state level without objection from the
states.
Congress in its control Of its in
terstate commerce system is seeking
in the transportation act to make
the system adequate to the needs of
the country by securing for it a rea-
sonable compensatory return for all
the work it does,' the chief justice
stated in the opinion.
THE states are seeking to use that
same system for instrastate traffic.
That entails large duties and expen-
ditures on the interstate commerce
system which may be a burden to 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 COM
merce, may therefore restrain undue
limitation of the earning power OF
the Interstate commerce system, in
doing state work. -
Can Impose Conditions
1T can impose any reasonable con-
dition ON states use of interstate
carriers for intrastate commerce it
deems necessary or desirable. This is
because of the supremacy of the ma
tional power in this field"
Referring to the question that the
conclusion of the court would give
the interstate commerce commission
unified control Of interstate and in
trastate commerce." the court de-
clared that such control was unified
only to the extent of maintaining
efficient regulation of interstate
commerce under the paramount pow
er of congress"

rRepubIlcan A. p. Leased WlreJ

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The tar
iff bill discussed today at a White
House conference between President
Harding and Representative Mondell
OF wyoming, the Republican house
leader, and Chairman Fordney of the
ways and means committee. 1t was
indicated afterward that the execu-
tive desired a speeding up Of work on
the measure, which is now in process
of rewriting by Republican members
OF the senate finance committee.
Specific rates in the bin occupied the
attention today OF the senate com
mitteemen, some OF whom said de-
cision in the controversy with house
leaders over American valuation
probably would be deferred until
work on the rates had been COM
pleted The ad valorem duties, 1t
was said, still are being rewritten on
a basis of the foreign valuation OF
imported articles but It was disclosed
that at the same time experts at
tached to the committee are trans
lating these rates into figures based
on the American wholesale selling
price Of the imports so that II that
basis finally is agreed upon, the sub
stitution OF figures can be accom-
plished without delay.
Chairman Fordney reiterated today
that he would insist on bill with
American valuation.

MONDELL SAYS.
POSTPONEMENT.
WILL CLARITY
BONUS STAT US

WASHINGTON, Feb. q. - Post
ponement of house action on the SOL
dier bonus bill for a while longer was
suggested today by representative
Mondell or Wyoming, the Republican
leader, after he and Chairman Ford
ney OF the ways and means commit
tee. had conferred with President
Harding at the White House.
Emphasizing that the suggestion
was his own, Mr.. Mondell said it
was we'll known that the house in
this session and that a little delay
might serve ito clear the skies" He
explained that within short time
there probably would be more defi-
mite information as to expected saw
ings in expenditures for the next fis-
cal year. returns from the foreign
debt and whether business conditions
could be expected to improve to the
extent of assuring additional federal
revenues.
Mr.. Mondell and M-. Fordney were
understood to have apprised the
President formally OF the action OF
the special house sub committee in
rejecting the executives proposal
that the bonus be financed by a sales
tax and approving instead a bill
without any definite means of raising
the revenue. They would not indi-
cate what views the executive had
expressed, but Representative Long
worth OF. Ohio, a member of the COM
mittee dealing with the bonus ques-
tion, said tonight after a visit to the
White House that Mr. Harding still
was of the opinion that the legisla-
ton either should be financed by a
sales tax or postponed.
Earlier in the day Mr.. Longworth
had expressed the opinion that the
majority members of the ways and
means committee at their meeting
tomorrow to consider the report OF
the special substitute committee,
would approve a bonus bin without
any revenue provision. He added
that it was his belief that II con-
gress passed such a measure the
President would veto 1t.
The bonus bill got into house dis
cussion late in the day, Representa-
tive Hill, Republican of Maryland,
opening the debate by reading a let
ter he had written to Mr.. Fordney
suggesting elimination of all OF the
five way" plans except the cash
feature. He told the house that he
had fairly accurate information that
95 per cent OF the service men in
Baltimore, Nd, would take the cash
feature and that he believed that a
very large percentage of the men
elsewhere would do likewise.
Questioned as to how he would
raise the $500, 600, 600 necessary TO
pay all OF the men cash. Mr.. Hill said
the money could' be obtained by a
tax on light wines and beer.

LONDON CROWDS

Of
PRINCESS MARY.
[RepubIican A. P. Leased Wlrel


LONDON, Feb. 27.--Vast crowds
have been pouring into London to add
their numbers to the thousands who
make a holiday OF Princess Marys
wedding day. Until late at night the
workmen were putting the last
touches on the decorations and com
pleting the reviewing accommoda-
tions in the neighborhood of West
minister abbey and many people were
wandering about watching, notwith-
standing blustery wind. with oc-
casional showers.
In front of Buckingham palace,
those who were determined to miss
nothing paraded up and down. After
midnight the numbers steadily in
creased at all points of vantage, evi-
IDENTIFY prepared to spend the night
in waiting for the morrow's ceremony.
A majority OF them were women,
and a large proportion obviously were
provincials. Some carried stools on
which, when they had chosen their
halting place, settled for the night

wind.

and here many are passing the night
with well stocked food baskets. But
there is not a place along the route
of the procession but has its quota
of enthusiasts awaiting contentedly
a chance to sec the bride either going
to or returning from the abbey.
The special train which Will take
the bridal couple on their honeymoon

and arrive at 7;10 in the evening. The
weather prospects are not propitious.
A rainy type OF strong southwest
winds prevail, and showers, perhaps
thunder, are probable during the day
but conditions are not such as will
likely necessitate alterations in the
arrangements.
Plans for the wedding breakfast
were completed last night. The COM

Ireland which MT. De Valera's plan contemplates is not that of domin- ion but of an independent power in close treaty relationship with Great Britain.

Eye and Hand

There is necessarily connection be-
tween the look in PERSONS eye and
the hand which he or she writes for
handwriting reveals virtually the bulk
of PERSONS character, and the eye,
more than any other single physical
feature, is eloquent of habits of thought
and outlook on life.
Consider, for instance, the shrewd
eye. This is the eye that is habitually
partially closed, the lids being drawn
together a bit, as though to curtain the
window of the SOUL"
And what are the indications In
handwriting which correspond to the
eye Of caution?
There is none which completely and
exactly corresponds to It, - there are
several which indicate pretty much the
same thing, perhaps from different
angle, or perhaps In different degree.
On the whole, however, 1t is angular.
backhand- writing which offers the
closest parallel to the eye of extreme
caution. You see, it's combination
of two things. The eye of caution
indicates the alert schemer, while in
handwriting 1t is the angular element
which shows alertness and the back :
hand element that shows the ability
and inclination to plan and scheme.
II the caution indicated Is more OF
the secretive sort, its parallel will be
