law consists of the general and fun

Washington, D. C.-The In
terstate Commerce Commission
has increased it's power over the
nations railroads by ruling that
it has full authority to regulate
the supply of trains for the
transportation of property" "
The decision was made in the
case of a 26-mile branch of the
Northern Pacific Railway. The
company discontinued a daily
freight service and established a
tri-weekly service. The state Of
North Dakota, which intervened
held that it has sole jurisdiction
of train service within the state.
This the commission denied, and
held that the tri-Weekly service
was not unjust or unlawful. The
decision is the first of it's kind.
The Supreme Court Of the
United States gave the commits
sion wide powers over the rail-
roads when it upheld the ''recap-
ture" clause Of the Transporta-
tion Act. This clause provides
that after profits of the rail
roads reach a certain amount,
one-half Of the excess shall be

New Retirement
Bill Passed by
u. S. Congress
Annuity Is Increased and
Changes Made in Age
Limitations

Washington, D. C.-The house
has passed an amended federal
retirement bill that raises the
$3.50 annuity to $1,000 and in
creases employees contributions
to the fund from 212 per cent OF
their salary to 312 per cent. The
changes introduced by Congress
man Lehlbach, and favored by
federal employees, called for a
$1,000 annuity.
Opposition was recorded by mem
bers of the house before final vote
on the amended measure, but Mr..
Lehlbach warned his colleagues that
this is the best that can be secured.
"I think l will be given credit for
sincerity in my endeavor to secure
adequate retirement legislation" he
said. "I have agreed to pass the bill
that is now before you because
knowing the situation in all its ram
ifications = I tell you frankly it is
this or nothing"
Under the bill the general clerical
force of the government may retire
at 70 wears. Mechanics, mail carriers,
mail clerks and laborers may retire
at IS. Railway mail clerks and those
who have spent the greater part OF
their service in hazardous occupa-
tions, in the tropics or in extreme
cold climate, may leave at 81.

lie might have been millionaire,
And won financial fame,
Or sat in directors chair,
Had money been his aim;
He chose instead to spend his years
In service poorly paid,
And with the paste pot and the shears
A humble living made.
He comments on the towns events;
The local goings-on;
His fellow townmen's hopes and bents
Inspire his lexicon;
He feels the public pulse that beat
Around him, and he tries
To make his lively little sheet
A thing of local pride.
Unselfishly, with all his heart,
He strives but to upbuild
His town, of which he is part,
With great ambition filled.
He speaks we'll of his fellow men;
He praises when praise is due;
But he wields caustic pen,
When compelled at times to do.

Government Asks That Lease

St. Paul, Minn.-The govern

Teapot Dome oil lease to the Sim
clair interests, which was up
held last June by Federal Dis
trict Judge Kennedy at Chey-

The government charged Judge
Kennedy had "started out with a
slant of mind against the govern
ment" and that he forced the suit to
trial before the government rounded
up all it's important evidence.

retary of the Interior, who negotiated
the lease, and other principals in the
transaction. ''plainly constitute
badges of fraud on the whole deal"

erts. "Milton Everhart, Falls SON
in-law, who delivered a fortune IN
Liberty bonds to Fall after the lease
was made, was upheld by Judge Ken
nedy in refusing to answer our ques-
tions."
The governments counsel gave the
names of prominent business men
who left the country to evade being
subpoenaed
The Doheny interests that secured
the Elks Hill oil lease from Fall have
been defeated in a Los Angeles dis
trict court. This lease, while almost
identical with Teapot Dome, was de-
nounced as tinged with fraud by the
Los Angeles court. The Dohenys
have appealed to the United States

In a unanimous decision the

"The Transportation Act puts

is to supervise their issue of Sc

When a dearly loved subscrib-

"Stop the paper. Never send
the vile sheet to my home
again" We just puff our sweet
old corncob, and we stroke the
office cat; editors don't have
no feelings = never mind -
we're used to that.
When a typographical error
sometimes creeps in by mistake,
and our friends rush up and tell
us what a first-rate ass we'd
make, we just overlook their
errors, never giving tit for tat;
editors are pachydermic, and
Oh well; we're used to that.
When our advertisers cancel,
telling us the sheets no good;
when subscribers choose to pay
us in tomatoes or cord wood,
well, we simply grin and bear it,
though it leaves us rather flat !;
editors can exist somehow
somehow we get used to that.
