ENTIRE COURT CONCURS
IN HUGHES' DECISION
Member of Corporation Body Expect
Decision to Have Great Weight
In Final Determination of
the Oklahoma Railroad
Cases
1
Washington — The power of the
states to fix reasonable intrastate
rates on interstate railroads until
such time as congress shall choose to
regulate rateB was upheld by the su-
preme court of the United States in
he Minnesota freight and passenger
rate case
At the same time the court laid
down far-reaching principles govern-
ing the valuation of railroad property
(or rate-making purposes and accord-
ing to these held that the state of
Minnesota would confiscate the prop-
erty of the Minneapolis & St Louis
Kaiiroad company by its maximum
freight and 2-cent passenger fare law
It enjoined the state from enforcing
these laws as to this road for the
present In the cases of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern however
the court held that these roads had
(ailed' to show that the rates were
"unreasonable” or confiscatory and
consequently reversed the United
States district court for Minnesota
whieh had enjoined their enforcement
as both confiscatory and a burden on
Interstate commerce
The criticism of the apportionment
of value between Interstate and intra-
state business on a gross cevenue ba-
sis and the apportionment of ex-
penses by regulating interstate freight
business as two and a half times as
expensive as intrastate business was
regarded here as favorable to the
state of Missouri in its fight to up-
hold the validity of the maximum
freight and 2-cent passenger law en-
acted by 1L
Similar confidence was inspired in
advocates of the Arkansas state rate
regulations but ail recognized that
the statement of the court that each
oase of alleged confiscation must rest
on its own bottom might mean the
setting aside of the Missouri and Ar-
kansas laws
The states of Oregon and Kentucky
were regarded as almost certain to
win their rate cases involving the val-
idity of state freight rates but in
each Instance practically the only ob-
jection to the laws was their reputed
Interference with interstate com-
merce For a like reason many be-
lieved that the West Virginia 2-cent
passenger law would be upheld
Justice Hughes considered the at-
tack upon the state rates in two
phases the one that they placed an
unlawful burden on interstate com-
merce and the other that they were
so low as to confiscate the property
of the railroads
In considering the interstate com-
merce phase he took it for granted
that the state had the power to reg-
ulate rates between points within the
state of Minnesota on railroads not
crossing state lines and so far from
the boundaries as not to compete with
the cities of other states or otherwise
affect interstate commerce
r
The Salient Points
He next reached the conclusion that
intrastate rates whether on purely
IntraBtate railroads or interstate rail-
roads bad not been regarded by the
courts as being a direct regulation of
Interstate commerce He pointed to
the regulation of rates on railroads in
Illinois and the Erie canal in New
York by the respective states con-
cerned in support of his conclu-
sions of his findnigs in the de-
cision A most Intricate argument on this
phase of the controversy was made by
the justice in considering whether
state rates in interstate carriers could
have such an indirect hearing on in-
terstate commerce as to exclude the
states from Imposing them He
reached the conclusion that this was
a well-known field in which the states
could exercise their authority until
congress had seen fit to regulate the
field exclusively Finally he arrived
at the conclusion that congress in all
Its rate-making legislation had ex-
prerjly provided that the regulation
should not extend to transportation
wholly within a state
Among the laws which the states
may pass indirectly affecting inter-
state commerce were mentioned state
Inspection laws state employers’ lia-
bility laws and quarantine regula-
tions He said that state rate making
was to be classified with these
The decision regarded as one of
the most important ever announced
by the court has been under consid-
eration for fourteen months Railroad
commissions from eight states' and
the governors of all the s states filed
briefs in support of the states' rights

SEN HITCHCOCK SWATS TOBACCO
Small Concerns Unaffected’ Aimed
At American Tobacco Company
Which Failed to Dis-
solve Itself
Washington — In accord with sug-
gestions of Attorney General McRey-
nolds Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska
introduced an anti-trust amendment to
the Underwood tariff bill which would
levy a special additional excise tax
on a graduated scale upon manufac-
turers of tobacco cigars cigarettes
sod snuff The anAndment coming
from a democratic member will' re-
ceive thorough consideration from ths
finance committee The proposed tax
would not reach a manufacturer until
he controlled about 25 per cent of the
total production of articles In his line
Over that amount he would be taxed
iu a rising scale on tobacco one per
cent a pouhd for the first million
pounds 2 cents a pound for the second
million pounds and so on up to 6
cents a pound These graduated taxes
would be in addition to the regular 8
cents a pound tax that all manufac-
turers pay on tobacco
Companies of ordinary size would
not be subject to this tax because It
does not apply to & production before
80000000 pounds of tobacco or 4000-
000 pounds of snuff a year so that ot
ths 2700 tobacco companies In the
country probably only three would be
affected and of ths seventy-three snuff
companies also only three would be
affected In factories of the moderate
size the tax would only fall on four
or five of the cigar companies only
two of them having a product large
enough to be taxed
Seventy million dollars was the
amount of the total excise last year
on tobacco products and Senator
Hitchcock has estimated that if the
tax had been levied on last year’s
business “the foreign trust concerns”
would have paid the additional tax as
follows:
American Tobacco company $7500-
000 Liggett ft Meyers $3100000
Lorlllard company $144000 American
Snuff company $77000 George W
Helme company $69000 Weyman ft
Burton company $51000
There would also have been com-
panies subject to this tax if It could
be shown that 'they were under the
same ownership of control as any of
the big companies” said Senator
Hitchcock “and In the case of the Lor
illard company it would be subject
to a much higher rate of taxation If
it could be shown that it is owned or
controlled by tho same interests that
are back of any other company It Is
probable therefore that this tax in the
aggregate would reach $15000000 a
year which is so large that It would
soon fores a real dissolution of the
trbacco trust If It didn't It would
yield handsome revenues to the treas-
ury and so handicap the trust that
it could not carry out Its program of
crushing Independent companies
“The government already feaa the
machinery to enforce this tax To-
bacco and snuff manufacture in all
forms is upder complete government
control The power to tax to the point
of destruction is unquestioned It is
summary simple and irresistible If
It succeeds in this line of manufac-
ture It may succeed In others”
The 1913 premium list ot the Okla-
homa State Fair and Exposition
Oklahoma City September 23 to Oc-
tober 4 has just been Issued There
are exactly 240 pags from cover to
cover and the entire book is brimfull
of news about what promises to be
the best State Fair and Exposition in
the history of Oklahoma
Revision of the 1913 premium list
has been made upward Instead Of
downward the purpose being to bring
out the best of everything in agrfcul
tur&l products livestock of eyery de-
scription manufactured products and
other things that contribute to the
progress of Oklahoma and likewise to
the State Fair and Exposition The
divisions and classes have been ar-
ranged this year to meet the demands
Oklahoma City has four big trunk
line railroads and three lnterurban
lines reaching out in all directions of
the state and enjoys short line rates
Two spur tracks have been built to
the Fair Grounds for the accommo-
dation of exhibitors No city in the
country of its Bize has better accom-
modations and street cars are oper-
ated to the Fair Grounds every four
minutes -This
season's attractions — amuse-
ment features — will be the best ob-
tainable and it will be possible for
farm and city people to combine vaca-
tion valuable schooling and pleasure
—-all at a very low cost
The railroads will make an open
rate of two cents per mile in each
direction with minimum selling rate
of $100 for the round trip from all
points in Oklahoma to Oklahoma City
and return tickets to be on sale
dally during the Fair with final limit
the day following the close of the
Fair and one two dates during the
Fair (to be selected later) rate of one
fare for the round trip such tickets

date Tickets to be good going com
menclng the date of sale and for con-
tinuous passage in each direction
May 1912 to 3735 for the same month
of the present yqar and the loss re
suiting from careless use of matches
by children has been reduced from
$825 to $30 during the same period
The loss from oil and gasoline explo-
sions has ben redliced $1773 as com-
pared with May a year ago
Out of a total of ninety fires report-
ed to the 'department the entire loss
have been $13536410 of which $61
18060 was lost on contents and $71-
18350 on buildings
The report calls special attention
to the fact that most people are slow
In heeding the repeated warnings sent
out by the department against the
careless use of gasoline and other
high 'explosives and points to the re-
cent explosion at Kiefer where four
persons lost their lives as evidence
of this fact Gasoline acording to
Fire Marshal Hammond has an ex-
plosive force five times greater than
gun powder and is easier to ignite
than dynamite or nitroglycerin This
is pointed out to Bhow why great pre-
caution should be taken in the hand-
ling of gasoline
For some time past the department
with the assistance ot the chiefs of
the different fire departments of the
state has been conducting an educa-
tional campaign on how to prevent
fire loss and possible lpss of life
and already good results have been
obtained
According to the records of the de-
partment six persona have met death
during the past month as a result of
gasoline explosions
The report also urges a sane cele-
bration of the Fourth of July and
where fireworks are displayed It is
urged that great precaution he taken
against fire loss
