CITY FIGHTS FOR RIGHT

POTTsvILLE, Dec. 4.--Attorneys
have left here to argue before the
Supreme Court the question whether
this tribunal viii so construe the
State laws as to permit this city

Seven years ago City Hall was
remodeled, but the six contractors
engaged are still without their

Recognized Need, But Feared
It Might Disturb Trade,
Commission Says

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission failed to undertake gen.
eral investigation Of freight rates
during the past year because such
ar investigation would have I'M
settled business and commercial
conditions, the commission today
reported to Congress. The COM
mission said it was not 'unmind-
full Of the necessity for further
revision Of the rate structure to
eliminate maladjustments between
communities and commodities"
1t was the judgment OF the COM
mission that progress toward
| Standardization of rates could bet
ter be brought about through in
dIvidlal cases and Investigations
dealing. with particular rate terri
torres or adjustments, following In
! each. in sc FAR as practical con-
siderations will permit, a general
plan leading to q common end"
/ Many Complaints.
The commission now has before
1t approximately 1900 formal COM
| plants alleging that particular rate
situations are unreasonable. In
the majority Of these cases the
compliments are interested pri-
marily in the relationship OF their
rates to the rates enjoyed by their
competitors.
Experience has indicated that

| port, and 1t appears that a gradual
process of REIMBURSEMENT is much
better fitted to the needs of COM
merce than are radical changes in
volving disturbance of business con-
| ditions,"
Attention was called to the fact
that many complaints OF discrtm-
nation have arisen through lack CT
standard class and commodity rate
scales and through the extensive
use by the railroads Of commodity
rates designed to meet the needs of
their respective lines and shippers,
with little regard to the general
! adjustment in contiguous territories
or the effect upon other roads and
shippers.
Hear Reams Of Testimony.
Until rates are made more uni
form it is impracticable to obtain
a uniform classification, and it is
hoped the process of standardizing
class-rate percentages will aid in
the accomplishment of that pur-
pose," the report said. THE needs
\ of commerce and other practical
considerations often stand in the
way of uniformity. Rates mani.
testify should be made to encourage
and build up the commerce Of the
country, and it's free flow should
not be impeded by theoretical OBJ
structions.
Regarding railroad earnings, the
report said that as the annual net
railway operating income has been
recently less than $1,000. O00, 900, the
return of 5% per cent upon fair
value" is not being received by the
railroads.
The work of preparing the COM
/ plete plan for the consolidation Of
the railroads of the country into a
limited number of major systems is
progressing" the report said. To
date the commission has taken
I11,713 pages Of testimony and Ill
voluminous exhibits on the consoli-
dation plan.

By JOHN CONRAD -

by both branches Of the courts.

overlooked.

other department, which is in
such dire need of assistance.
Adjustment of the collateral
system without the appointment
of a third judge would add to the
number of cases which now
swamp the dockets.
$464,865 Taken In.
For the fiscal year, ending June
80, 1924, slightly over $464,S65

to the District building, For q
corresponding period $59,840 was

The appointment of an auxiliary
judge would necessitate the hiE-
ing Of two and not more than
three other employees for the
Police Court. The several divi-
sions of the courts declare they
could continue to operate as at
present as all the informations or

Beginning in the afternoon the

BOBBED HAIR
BLAMED FOR SEPARATION

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 4.-Mrs.
Martha Eidell. of 5151 Hazel ave-
nue., who petitioned the Domestic
Relations Court for an order on
her husband, George A., for the
support of herself and two chill
dren, blames all the trouble on
the fact that she got her hair
bobbed over the objections of her
husband. When he saw what she
had done. she said. he spanked"
her. AS a result, she said, she
took the two children and left
him.
The husband emphatically denied
his wife's testimony. He said 1t
was not because of the "bobbing"
that the couple separated, but that
it was because his wife was too
flirtatious and that her eyes were
rambling"
After the hearing Mrs. Eidell
said that her husband was 80
jealous Of her that he would not
permit her to go to church for
fear of her flirting with the choir.
An order of $40 a week was
placed on the husband.

JOHN W. DAVIS,
THE CANDIDATE

Admitting that John w. Davis
is a fine, clean, outstanding indi-
vidual and that West Virginia is
honored in having a native son a
Presidential nominee, all Of
which has been recited and will
be recited repeatedly, it is time
to put aside the Davis PERSONAL
ty, and to consider, dispassion-
ately, Davis, the candidate. IL
is in the latter light that he must
be considered by the voters, for
it is not as personal friend, nor
as ma i've son that he faces the
people os the United States,
seeking their favor. He simply
comes as Democratic nominee
asking that the administrator of
government be taken out of the
hands of Calvin Coolidge and
transferred to his own.
Putting aside all sentiment,
let us hold John w. Davis, the
candidate, to the light and CON
slider him. 1t takes but short
scrutiny to show that his chances
for election are of the slimmest,
In the first place he is a compro-
mise candidate. He was chosen
as the last alternative in a con
vention split from top to bottom
and riven in every direction by
hide bound factions and oppos-
ing elements. His running mate,
Charles Bryan, is a compromise
candidate, chosen as peace Of
fering to William Jennings Bry-
an, admittedly foremost in Dem
ocratic politics, and outspoken
in his opposition to John w.
Davis. Through this Vice. Pres
idential sop, the Democrats also
hoped DO conciliate the farming
interests of the great West, a
vain hope, for the farmers will
not find Davis or Bryan any in
ducement to turn from Calvin
Coolidge who has demonstrated
his friendliness to the farmer,
and his comprehension of the
farmers difficulties.
Needless to say there is moth
ing offered in the Davis candi.
dacy to induce Republicans to
leave their party to vote for him.
This alone insures his defeat,
for it is only when dissatisfied
Republicans desert their party
banner that a Democrat takes
over the reins of government.
Why should any Republican vote
for John W. Davis The de
claration of the Democratic plat.
form is the only evidence upon
which may be established bis
actions If seated in the White
House, while on the other hand,
the people know what President
Coolidge stands for, what his
convictions and aims are, they
know him as a fearless and un-
compromising fighter for the
public good, and they have stood
by him in cordial admiration
throughout his entire admins
tration. What is there in Davis
that would for one moment draw
a RepubIican:voter to his support
against aman like Mr.. Coolidge
What is there to appeal to the
voters generally in these forlorn
hope nominees put up by con-
yention ragged with dissention ?
Absolutely nothing. -Fairmont
