Just held that under an internal revenue act adopted prior to the eighteenth amendment the government has the power to forfeit the furniture and freight rates which on the surbe a to sectional face appeared readjustment with little or no direct effect on this state Utah is confronted with figures which place the state at a distinct disadvantage The new schedule makes class rate reductions to certain points from eastern cities but the lower scale prevails only to Denver and falls to give the Balt Lake area any measure of relief While It does not Increase the rate to Salt lake It causes a wider spread in the transportation charge mads at Denver and at Balt Lake Prior to December 3 when the revised rates became effective the tariff on freight from New York to Balt Lake was $510 and to Denver $412 a difference of 08 cents and other classifications were proportionately affected But Denver now profits through the reduction and pays only freight while the figure affecting Salt Lake $327 on H W remains as before Increasing the differential to $183 has service bureau of the traffic Prlckett manager pointed out In the new rates are affected class the while directly that only schedule there are many commodity rates which are related and affected A recent decision of the Interstate commerce commission held that reasonable rates from Racine Junction Wls and Detroit to Salt Lake on automobiles which are now carried as & rates from commodity should not exceed reasonable first-claand to the same points This principle Is further emphasized In the appeal of the carriers which was denied The defendant railroads contended that the decision means a reduction In all class rates to and from the same territory and the commodity rates which are In any way related to the class rates Both of these statements support the contention of Utah Interests that the wider spread in the rates from the east to Denver and to Salt Lake constitutes a discrimination that compels local Jobbers distributors and manufacturers to absorb a larger sum when entering Into competition with Denver firms In the It Is also apparent that midwest and Rocky mountain territory while consumers In the Denver area will enjoy a lower price on certain goods by reason of the lower rate the purchaser of the n§ same article in Salt Lake may continue to pay at the higher price level The commerce commission has established & basis for ratemaking and Its decisions have set forth maximum schedules on classified freight and upon certain commodities Notwithstanding this fact the new rate schedule although granting a reduction over lines that enter Utah reacts against this state’s Interests To reinstate the previous rates to Denver however would meet with the same opposition In Salt Lake that the present schedule has aroused because Utah shippers have contended that the old scale was too high Railroads have suffered with other Industries In the economic upheaval but there Is little hope for permanent relief to them In discriminatory rates that may ease the load In one area but retard recovery In another It Is significant that adjustments can be made voluntarily by the carriers without Involving the commerce commission and that railroads msy b expected to profit only so far as the territory they serve Is able to prosper and develop Its resources When the predicament Into which Utah has been thrust is called to the attention of the trunk lines entering this region from the east little dlfflculy should be experienced In bringing about a revision that will place competitive territory on a basis of freight rate equality N THE LATEST revision of mid-weste- first-cla- ss first-cla- ss ss rn McIntyre tercup As a rule such sundown gatherings offer merely a hunk of boredom But It this was different O vastly started in customary fashion Around o’clock celebrity gluttons began drifting in greeting the host thumbing sandwiches accepting tea and pairing off into groups There were polite murmurlngs over the latest play the newest book and usual psychoanalytical twaddle about thumb sucking and what pot Here and there in array were a best selling novelist a Reno divorcee a British playwright And sprinkling of Saturday Evening Post readers At the start there was the cheerful ness of the swamp Men began to glance at wrist watches and ladies drifted toward exits for getaways when folding doors opened and a brace of butlers with gadgets sprout ing down their cheeks brought In an enormous bowl of pink punch The host clapped for attention "Before you depart” he said "I want you to taste a perfectly harmless mixture It comes from an ancient recipe my nephew brought from Samoa It’s altogether harmless and you'll The case fittings of speakeasies arose In consequence of a seizure made by prohibition agents In Mon tana The federal court of appeals ruled that power of forfeiture under the law is confined to chattels seized In places in which raw materials are manufactured into taxable articles The In fraud upon the revenue supreme court has given the law a broader interpretation Its opinion will be of great aid to the government in the opinion of Mr the prohibition administrator in New York It is he says "the most powerful weapon yet placed In my hands” for the enforcement of the Volstead act He may be right but tills is not the first time that a decision of the supreme court has been hailed by enforcement officers as a Imppy solution of their problems In May of last year the court decided that manufacturers of barrels bottles corks labels and cartons are guilty of violating the prohibition act It they offer these articles for sale In such a way as purposely to attract purchasers desiring them for Illegal This decision was likepurposes ’Glugs glack slug’ ” And did I feel the ninny! It was time to exit so I retrieved hat and stick and went to tell the host He stood poker-sti- ff in a "So long" I said blotto It's 8 minutes of 2” he mumbled “And take your eye out of my thumb” What a drink! On the way out I dipped myself a stiff Samoan snort and downed it in a gulp to see what it was like It reminded me of the sassafras tea with which grandma used to dose me for hives But all of a sudden the place seemed filled with pals I certainly hated to leave good-b- y doorway The only reason I shook hands with the elevator man and walked over and gave the telephone girl a quick hug is I’m democratic that way and kind to the folks Plain old Odd! O yes on the way home I stopped in and bought my wife a pearl fretted banjo But when I go out for diversion what does she do? Only three guesses to each person Children in arms barred Ushers will now pass among you Well for one thing she switches letters on my typewriter You know where the n used to be? It’s gone and she’s stuck in a great big K And I just remember that bum at the tea pointing to me and saying to a lady: “What kind of a trap do they set to catch that?"
