10N<i AND SHORT HAUL
LAW UPHELD
Commission Should Have Right to
Exercise Discretion, It Says.
• Wellington, Nov. 15.—In the major-
ity opinion of the commerce court,
formerly handed down Tuesday In the
Irsns-contlnental rate case>s, It i.i haul
that the long and short haul provis-
ions of the interstate commerce act is
constitutional. Judge Arehhald con-
cur6 in the issuance of a temporary
injunction of the orders of the inter-
state commerce commission but in a
dissenting opinion holds the long and
short haul provision to be invalid.
The commerce court reached the
conclusion that the cases Involved in
the present proceeding afforded the
btst possible opportunity for a de-
t-rminntlon of the constitutionality of
the act to regulate commerce. It was
realized that the question eventually
would have to be fought out beiore
the United States supreme court.
By an exhaustive examination of
the entire law, however, the court
reached the conclusion that It is the
duty of the commission to exer.-l-.e
Its discretion to establish a lower rate
for a longer haul than a shorter, it
the conditions in Its opinion warrant

MOST HORRIBLE DISEASE KNOWN
Mrs. Edna Bolton suffered tortuie
for many months with "trachoma"
or "granulated eyes," and gate up
all hope of saving her sight. This
disease has resisted all treatments
for ages, and many doctors refuse
to treat granulation of the eyes.
The seat of infection is so deep that
medicine applied in the eye is worth-
less. With the Mulitplex Sinusoidal
Engine, the Electro Radio Experts
drivo the medicine through the eyes
without any pain or dangr.
Mrs. Bolton has now recovered
her sight, and is out of all danger
of the condition ever returning.
This is one of the most marvelous
treatments that has ever been found
for the "granulated eye' sufferer.
The Electro Radio Experts "are the
only doctors using it In the world
today, but the Experts expect to in-
trodoce their discovery to all the
world. All Chronic diseases are
treated and cured by the Electro
Radio Experts with methods entirely
their own, which have stood the test
of giving results. Eyes tested and
