...most important provision in this generous offer, however, is that the number of $2 seats to be placed on sale at the reduced rate of 75 cents, will depend wholly on the interest shown by the size of the Opera Association on April 14. The CRIMSON has believed ever since it first gave voice to this movement, that a large number of music-loving undergraduates would take immediate advantage of just such an offer as has been made.

Justice Swayze stated that he definition of property has become a matter for the courts to decide. In the case of Inter-state carriers this is difficult. In spite of recent litigation it remains unsettled and may be forever without solution. Courts have attempted to base rate schedules on the value of the corporation's property, and according to the services rendered. On the basis of valuation and service many things have to be considered. A growing concern spends money in getting under way, establishing communications, obtaining a franchise, and in adding new appliances. It finally renders the public service...
