Asheville Citizen. ! Pullman fares between points in North Carolina were increased 50 per cent. a few days ago. The traveler pur chasing a berth to llaleigli paid $3.75 yesterday whereas the day before the charges would have been $2.50. i The raise in rate was not made by | the Pullman Company; it was not di rected by the railway companies in whose pockets it goes ; it was not or dered by the North Carolina Corpor ation Commision which is empowered to regulate transportation charges on travel wholly within this State. ! It was decreed by the Interstate Commerce Commision, a body created by Congress to regulate transporta tion flowing from one State to auoth | er. This eommision's authority, that of Congress to create it. rests on the provision in Article I. Section 8 of the National Constitution that Con gress shall have power "to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several States. * * * The right to regulate commerce ' "among the several States" is thus made to justify regulating rates not between one State and another in this instance, but rates applying solely within one State.

It. says in effect to the North Carolina legislature— to the people whose agent that Legisla ture is—that it has no authority to regulate commerce wholly within North Carolina. It calmly orders the i State and do its bidding. The explanation which u made, in j -a casual and detached way. to North , Carolina is that as a war measure an ' increase of 50 per cent, on existing 1 Pullman fares was decreed, this to go 1 to the railway companies, and that (the Commision has continued it in in-1 i terstate business. The North Caroli , na Legislature, however, when the war ■ was over discontinued it so far as 1 travel wholly within this State was i concerned. The interstate body thereupon de ■ tided that travellers in North Caro ! liaa should not have this “advantage" and so it abolishes this 50 per cent, surcharge. It has been taking over : more and more authority, stepping ev - ermere beyond its rights, seeking to i make State freight rates suit its in terstate rates, ft now touches what ‘ seems the climax. 1 But it mny not be the climax.

The kinds of timber used for i poles are divided by natural growth into well-defined areas or zones, i The more important of these are the white cedar zone of the North ern New England states, the chcst nut zrae of the Appalachian Movr'aln region, the Southern yel- Io«> pine zone of the Gulf states, the Northern white cedar zone of Minnesota and Wisconsin, and the Western red cedar zone of Wash ington. Oregon and Montana. Each zone has a logical area of distribution. Disregard for the time present hit-or-miss way of buying poles. Consider that the pole supply is being produced in the most econ omical ‘way, and we find the dif ferent kinds of timber going into use ia territory within easy reach of ths region of growth. This means minimum cost for transpor tation, and irrespective of any other advantage this important economy seems almost decisively in favor of inning the country for the purpose of buying poles.
