RAILROADS AND OTHER FOLKS.


Some people arc very ready to vote
for tax on the incomes Of individuals
ferries. express, telegraph and telephone
companies, but when II comes to tax
on The incomes OF raih oaaa,they sudden
~ set very much afraid that somebody
is trying to persecuteethc raiirosds
The News and Observer believes that
the income of railroad cught tc be
taxed and on the same plan that indi-
yidual incomes are taxed CT at least
like other carrying companies. Yester-
day the House, after very properly vot-
ing to exempt incomes under $1,000,
voted to tax the gross Incomes OF in
diyiduals: One per cent on less than 81
000; over $1,000 and not succeeding $l.-
600, one and half per cent; over $4,000
and not exceeding $4,000 two per cent;
over $4,000 and net exceeding $4,000, two
and a Eaif per cent; on the excess over
$4,000, three and half per cent If it
be argued that this is not parallel to
the tax on railroads, because the in
dividuals do not pay incomes ON prop
erty that is taxed, it may be said that
express companies pay license tax of
two per cent on its gross receipts and
also an al volorem tax. If this is right
as to the express companies, why is it
not right as to railroad companies?
Have they any claim to special con-
sideration?
When it comes to tho license tax on
railroads, the Finance Committee in
stead of imposing tax on the grC1s re-
ceipts, a wholly new, and we believe
wrong, principle OF taxation is applied.
Instead OF taxing railroads on their
gross receipts, they are taxed at so
much per mile On a license for oDer-
atng" That tax is $500 per mile whca
the gross earnings are $1,000 or less per
mie per annum: $500 When gross earn
ings are between St.o00 ana $1,000 per
mile: $4.00 when between S2,000 and 49,,
600 per mile: $5.C9 when in excess Of
$1,000 per mile j Is also provided
that no county, city or town shall col
lect any tax under this section. 1t is
estimated that this cledaie viii raise
about $1,000 per mile
Judge Grahams amendment proposes
a better method and would secure a
revenue more in keeping with the
prodts of railroads operating in the
State.
During the past year the net earnings
OF railroads in North Carolina tor oper-
tions were $55S2, GJ0. They earned six
per cent dividend on $950i9,i6G, or a
twelve per cent dividend upon the $42-

TWO WOMEN IN DUEL
Mrs, Seigein Wounded and
in a Hospital.
Duel the Result Of Long landing Feud. The
Wounded Woman Eager to Fight
Again.
(By the Associated Press. }

Chicago, April A special to the
Record Herald, from New Kirk, Okla,
says:
Mrs Ella Seiglin and Mrs. Daughson,
living near this city, fought a duel with
revolvers at twenty PAGES today and Mrs,
Ssiglin is now in hospital, dangerously
wounded. Two of her opponents shots
lodged in her breast but she is able to
talk volubly and is anxious TO recover
that she may again fight Mrs. Daughson.
1.-The duel grew out Of long standing
feud between the women, jealousy being
the cause Mrs. Daugson lives on
farm just south of the city and Mrs. Seig-
lin, has frequently endeavored to arouse
the temper of her neighbor by various
means, the most effectual being the claim
that she (Mrs. Seiglin) could take Mrs
Daughsons husband away from his wife
any time she wished.
Mrs. Daugson finally appealed to the
courts and yesterday forenoon Mrs. Seig-
lin Yves fined $500 for trespassing upon
the Daughson property and melting
trouble. As soon as she paid the fine, Mrs.
Seiglin drove out to the Daughson home,
smarting under the loss of money, and
the criticism of the Judge. Riding up to
the door of Daughson home, she invited
her rival to come out and fight a duel.
Mrs. Daughson promptly accepted the
challenge, and came out armed with a
revolver. The women then faced each
other at fifty feet and began shooting, the
signal being given by daughter of Mrs.
Seiglin, who had accompanied her from
town Each fired three shots without eff
feet Then Mrs. Daughson got the range
and fired two shots in quick succession,
both striking Mrs. Seiglin in the breast.
She fell and Mrs, Daughson assisted in
carrying her into the house where a ply
stefan dressed her wounds, after which
she was conveyed TO a hospital.
Now the husbands of the women are
seeking each other vowing to kill on
sight.
'The partisans of each women are also
furnishing up their weapons and seeking
an excuse to shoot somebody. During the
trial the two women attempted several
times to fly at each other and fight it
out then and there and the belligerent
spirit permeated the entire court room.
Mrs Seiglin says her revolver refused
to work after the first three shots and
that she will make a better record when
next she faces Ms. Daughson. The latter
has not yet been arrested and grimly re-
marks that she has taken the precaution
to reload her revolver and oil its joints
and that she can be found q home Ly

Patrick Proves His Iron Nerve by Reading 10
the Court Written Statement by
Jones Charging Him With
Rice's Murder.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, April 4.--There We're at
least two incidents during today's cross
examination of Charles f. Jones. the
valet secretary of Millionaire William
Marsh Rice, which rose above the ordi-
nary One was a remark made by JUS
tce Jerome, who presides at the hear
ing. and which probably shows why Law
yer Patrick, accused with Jones of the
murder of the former Texan, has all
along taken the accusations of Jones
against himself with demeanor almost
bordering on contempt,
/ Attorney Moore for the defense had
asked that when the hearing closed for
the day it be not resumed until Tuesday
Justice Jerome seemed willing and then
added
1T is necessary that Jones testimony
as to this murder should be corrobora-
ted. He being a self confessed accom-
plice his testimony alone is not enough
to hold Patrick
Attorney Moore terseiy added to this:
I'VE understand that, and we suppose
the District Attorney does too
Tonight those who are watching the
case closely are wondering what corrobo-
rative testimony the State will introduce
to sustain the statements of Jones'
The other incident brought out in the
clearest light the indomitable nerve of
Lawyer Patrick. In the face of the re-
iterated story of Jones that Patrick had
instigated the forgeries and the actual
murder, the latter took his place in the
court proceedings with the utmost nom
chalanee.
PATRICK SHOWS HIS NERVE.
At one point it became necessary that
a statement made by Jones be read and
it was given into the hands of one of
counsel for the defense for that purpose.
