OKLAHOMA' CITY OcL 18— Jur-
isdiction of the corporation commis-
sion over freight rates when the In-
terstate Commerce Commission "is
considering them was the center of a
controversy between the commission
and carriers at a hearing Monday
concerning the 35 per cent rate in-
crease ordered by the Interstate Com- of many successful associations busi-jroad building season are appropriated
merce Commission which the corpo- ness and social is the basic founds- by the federal highway bill at pres-
ration commission had refused to put tion 'of all credit delegates to the ent in conference and expected to
into effect in Oklahoma because Ok-
lahoma rates were higher than rates
in many other state with the 35 per
cent increase
A demurrer to the jurisdiction of
the corporation commission filed by
Judge S W Hayes for the carriers
was overruled by Campbell Russell
chairman of the commission
"The situation the commission finds
itself in is very much like that of the
driver of a Ford stalled at the foot
of a hill” said Campbell in overrul-
ing the demurrer "The driver sends
to x the city for a big truck to pull
him up the hilL Meanwhile after con-
siderable tinkering with the engine
the Ford gets into running shape as
the truck arrives The driver of the
big truck Insists upon pulling the
Ford up the hill regardless of its
ability to proceed under its own
power”
Revision of certain rates contained
in an order of the commission at the
time the order was granted which re-
voked the 35 per cent increase was to
be considered
Judge Hayes argued that any ac-
tion the corporation commission
might take while the question of
rates was being considered by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
would not be binding He declared
that since the Interstate Commerce
Commission had taken up the ques-
tion that the state body was obligated
by court practice to refrain from en-
tering into a consideration of the
rates because of the custom of courts
having concurrent jurisdiction to
leave to the court which first starts
the action the disposition of the mat-

HUMANE WORK
DECLARED THE
By Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA Pa OcL 18—
Advocating recognition of the value
and importance of humane work by
the individual atates as well as by
the governmneL Dr A E Fredericks
of Madison Wia Wisconsin State
Humane Agent in addressing the
American Humane association here
today told the delegates it was a fit-
ting reward for the oftimes thankless
less yet fruitful labors of faithful
men and women the world over
"It ia a mark of advancing civili-
zation” continued Dr Fredericks "It
is indicative of genuine education and
finally it is the imprint of Christian-
ity extending in its influence even
unto the portals of our government
whose thought and life it must influ-
ence and sway to the betterment of
tbe word
“The appointment of a humane of-
ficer by the itate meana more than
flnancial aUpporL It means that hu-
mane work has become a duty of the
state It constitutes a genuine rec-
ognition of the real worth of the en-
tire humanitarian movement not only
as it applies to the protection of hu-
man beings but also as it applies to
the protection of animals
"In Wisconsin the duties of the hu-
mane agent as outlined by law are
three fold to enforce the humane
laws to promote humane education
and to superintend and assist in the
organization of humane societies Ail
of these are duties which the state
can and should assume
"It is the distinct duty of the state
to protect from cruelty its human and
animal life This duty cannot be de-
nied nor rightfully shirked This is a
fundamental principle of government
The cause of humanity must live for-
ever In its final consumption lies the
hope of peace and happinesa for the
world”
