Pay for Street improvements.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Citizens here are in a fog as to the pro-
visions of the Mummert bill repeating the
Barrett and Artman laws and providing a
new law for municipal improvements. There
is no legislation possible that is of greater
concern to the taxpayers of city or town.
and it is feared that the proposed bill will
not give the relief demanded. The pres
ent laws. which compel the owner to build
the streets fronting his lots as frequently
as the City Council may direct, are not
just laws. Citizens here are unit In de-
nouncing the principle upon which they
are founded. Streets are for the benefit of
the public and should be paid for by the
public. That every man should improve
the street in front of his property once is
probably a sound propositions; that he
be compelled to do so more than once is an
act of injustice. 1t is to be hoped that
the proposed Improvement law provides
that after first improvements are made all
subsequent repairs and improvements shall
be made from the vehicle tax fund and a
general tax upon all the city taxables.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Permit me to offer some suggestions on
the voting machine question. There is not
much difference of opinion as to the desira-
bility of using machines. The principal OBJ
lection is the excessive cost of installing
them. My plan is this: Let the present
Legislature appoint committee to investi-
gate and report to the next Legislature on
the advisability of the State manufacturing
its own machines. The writer was for a
long time on the engineering staff of the
Westinghouse Electric Company at Pitts
burg, and is familiar with machine design
and cost, and believes a successful voting
machine can be designed that can be built
for less than S100 each. The commission
should be authorized to secure the services
of not exceeding two men skilled in ma
chine design, and an equal number of COM
petent mechanical engineers. After the
machines are designed and patterns made
the actual construction could be let to the
lowest bidder, or the State might manu-.
facture the machipes in the state prisons
The latter course would have the additional
advantage that 1t would help to solve the
troublesome question of prison labor.

RECENT LEGAL OPINIONS.

Crime a Risk in Life Insurance.
In the recent case of Burt VS.. Union Gen.
trail Life Insurance Company. the Supreme
Court of the United States held that no
recovery could be had on a life insurance
policy where the person whose life was in
sured was executed for murder commit
ted subsequent to the issuance of a policy.
The court said: 1T cannot be that one of
the risks covered by contract of life in
surance is the crime of the insured. There
is an implied obligation on his part 60 do
nothing wrongfully to accelerate the ma
turity of the policy. Public policy forbids
the insertion in a contract of condition
which would tend TO induce crime. and as
il forbids the introduction of such a stipu-
lation, il also forbiSs the enforcement OF a
contract under circumstances which cannot
be lawfully stipulated for" AS TO the con-
tention that the insured did not commit the
crime. the court said that If that were
true. the action TO recover on the policy
could only be maintained on the assumption
that there has been a failure of justice in
the criminal proceedings, and that there
could not be a contract of insurance against
the miscarriage of Justice

Gross earnings of all railroads in the
United States which have thus far reported
for January show gain of Sc per cent.
over last year, and H. per cent over 1901.
There are included in these earnings many
or the leading systems. which continue to
show a heavier tonnage than last year.
when traffic was unusually large, and with
the trunk lines the exhibit was unusually
favorable. New York Central earnings are
much larger than In any preceding January
true OF others of the trunk lines, which did
not suffer through the unfavorable weather
conditions. There is an increase i'm earn
ings OF all classes of roads, the grangers
making large gains over all preceding
years. with excellent prospects for con-
tlnuance OF large earnings. 1t is believed
mat the per diem rules can now be put in
operation. but thus far they have proved
OF little value, and the car service associa-
tons have been crippled by their operation.

Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1903-09-24
THE NEGRO IN VIRGINIA POLITICS.

Two of our contemporaries, the Rich
mond News Leader and the Norfolk Vir
glnian Pilot, have recently been charging
us with dread of discussing the negro ques
ton as applied to Virginia politics. The
News Leader of the 18th inst. said:
"The Tazewell Republican verifes our
prediction of it's position toward the mat
ter of negro supremacy by deliberately
lodging the whole proposition. 1t denies
that Republican rule would have meant
negro supremacy, but it fails to explain
how.the Republicans would continue to
ignore the bulk of their voting strength in
their distribution of the State Offices and
nominations. We suppose the tbeoryis that
the negroes would be willing to 60 on in
definitely voting white Republicans into
jobs for the pleasure of seeing them there
and would make no effort to control the
party"
We respond to this charge by emphat-
icallY stating that We are not afraid to dis
cuss the question and by asserting that we
believe that the Democratic fear of negro
supremacy is sham, introduced into the
