IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE Recently the Supreme Court of the State of Washington rendered an epochal decision Washington and Oregon passed a law a year or two ago whereby the state utility regulatory com missions were empowered to as sess against utility companies the costs of investigations for rate making purposes. Other states have considered following these examples. Now the Supreme Court has de cided, in a biting decision, that the act is unconstitutional. The decision pointed out that the act made it possible for regulatory authorities to initiate and conduct one investigation after another against a utility company “until” a particular ulitity is destroyed.” And the justices added, “We see no ... reasonable protection from persecution. ’’ This decision is important be cause it is in the interest of jus tice, of the American spirit of fa^r play Rate-making investiga tions initiated by the state, are primarily designed to benefit con sumers. They are a purely public function—and they should be paid for in the manner of pulic func tions, all the people There ts no justification for an act which forces the stocholders of a corn pan to pay out hundreds of thou sands of dollars to meet the cost of an investigation, perhaps hasti ly demanded, which can eliminate the small return they are permit ted hv law to earn on their in vestment. During the past year, there have been a number of decisions, "by state an feeral courts alike, of exceptional importance. These decisions have affirmed and re affirmed American principles and consti tutional rights—thev have prevented the gravest kinds of injustice, and perversion of tax ing and legislative power. This new decision, by the Supreme Court of Washington, stands high on that distinguished list. —0O0— FERE PREVENTION WEEK — In about a month, Fire Pre vention Week will be observed again. Starting on October 6,'j the week will run through the j 12th The week is usually inaugurat ed by Presidential proclamation. Governors of states and mayors of cities follow suit. Fire mar shalls, fire departments, insurance organizations and other public and private groups cooperate in seeking to spread the ABC’s of fire prevention and control to the general public—which has most at stake, and which must accept the responsibility for almost every citizen will have a chance to learn, easily, thoroughly and “painless ly”, the simple lessons that will enable him to keep his home and other property safe from fire. He will be told of the menace of old and improperly-done wiring. He will learn the need for periodic inspections of his heating plant —one of the most prolific sources of fire. He will be shown the Vital necessity of fire-resistant building, and of modern munici pal building codes. He null hear of the tragic school, hospital and other major fires which have de stroyed thousands of lives, and property valued at millions, which were absolutely unneces sary. To learn this, the citizen will have to contribute a little of his time. He will have to look at ex hibits ,read editorials, news re ports and pamphlets- He will have to listen to a radio address or two. He will have to keep his min open and his memory awake —a lesson that is not retained is obviously useless. In return for this small expend iture of time, he will receive knowledge that may be the means of saving his property from destruction and his loved ones from violent and horrible deaths.

Taxes Methodist In Confab At Dallas Dallas, Texas, Sept. 21—Visit ing dignitaries of the Afro-Ameri can Methodist church who attend ed the Sunday School Congress at Waco, Texas, this week gave en dorsement to the Texas Centen nial Exposition which opens here ; next June. The fact that the Exposition will feature a Negro Building and I that several special days have ; been set aside for Negro partici pation caused their favorable comment at the Waco meeting. From all parts of the country as surances wrere given that there would be a large Negro attend ance. The Texas Centennial will have a full representation from all parts of my district," said Bishop M. H. Davis of Baltimore whose authority extends over Washing ton, D.

STRANGLING INITIATIVE Will Rogers, by his native abil ity and thrift, left an estate val ued at between two and one-half and five million dollars. It has been announced that state and federal inheritance taxes will claim some $650,000 if the estate totals two and one half million, or $1,716,000 if the estate totals five millions. Proposals to “soak the rich’’ through new and greater inheri tance taxes, which Mr. Roger’s family escaped, would go far to- : ward destroying the savings of his lifetime. On the savings and wealth-de stroying path we are traveling,! there is less and less inctntive for ! American citizens to exercise: there is less and less incintive for in the past on projects -which create employment and prosper ity. If they fail, that's just too bad—the tax collector does not share in the loss. He only takes the profits and savings. Have money and love magic. Send von name and address and receive the mvsoc free.

A “HIDDEN” CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS The more traffic experts study the accident toll, the more they become convinced that there is an important “hidden” cause of many automobile accidents- This lurking agent of death and injury is carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide gas develops when any fuel—coal, wood, gaso line. or illuminating gas—does not burn properly or completely It cannot be seen, smelled or tasted. Its only warnings are headache and drowsiness. Yet it is in the air wherever there is motor traffic. The exhaust of a car, even one in good running condition, contains a concentra tion of fifteen per cent of it. As little as two per cent in the air will poison, and four per cent will kill. Statistics show, according to the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, that carbon monoxide from auto ex haust gasses is the direct cause given in at least 700 deaths an nually. No one knows nor can guess how many lives are lost in directly through its influence. For example, there is no telling how often that common driving occurrence, “sleep at the wheel”, has been induced by carbon mon oxide. All motorists are familiar with the headache and lassitude which often come upon them while driv ing. These signs, coupled with the odors of exhaust fumes in a I moving vehicle, are final warn ings that carbon monoxide is pre sent in lethal quantities. They should be more than sufficient notice to take the necessary meas ures against carbon monoxide poisoning. This means regular checking of the exhaust mechan ism and the carburetor action, keeping the vehicle well ventilat ed when driving, eliminating any leaks or holes which allow seep age from the motor or exhaust to the body of the ear, Housholders should also consid er that carbon monoxide poison ing is a possibility whenever fuel is burned in the home- Coal, gas, stove, furnace and oil burner compailes can give advice on pre causions that will afford safety from this invisible death.

SOMEBODY ELSE’S WHITE ELEPHANT At the twenty-fifth annual ses sion of the Oregon Reclamation Congress ,complaint was made that more automobiles than farms are owned by Oregon farmers— that only 35% of the farms in the state have electricity—that I there was insufficient electrical pumping and irrigation for farm prosperity- Naturally, with the great government power project at Booneville about to throw a tremendous excess of power on the market, a drive will now be made to sell it and increasing use of irrigation and pumping machin ery is one outlet. Practical farm electrification is a good thing and has been pro ceeding at a normal rate in Ore gon as the high average of 35% farm electrification proves. But anyone acquainted with Oregon farming, for which irrigation and pumping are probably as little needed as in any state in the COULD NOT DO HER HOUSEWORK TJ^HEN every “ thing you at t tempt is a burden —when you are nervous and irri table—at your wit’s end—try this medicine.
