new COUNTY ROAD SYSTEM
DOES NOT APPEAL TO FARMERS

by themselves for road purposes. The new
law provides that four road supervisors
shall be appointed at salary of S4 per
day and expenses. These supervisors are
appointed by the county commissioners,
and, under the direction of the county
commissioners, who take charge of the
road work in the various districts.
The farmers were also given a chance
under the old law to work out their road
taxes when cash was scarce but now they
will have to pay the tax in cash the same
as other taxes.
Another objection to the new law is that
it gives the commissioners a chance to
build up a powerful political machine, il
they are so disposed, at the expense Of
the farmers in the different road districts
Taking it altogether, the farmers of Pierce
county are not especially jubilant over the
new order Of things.

failures, although the boat was moved sew

each side of the boat and timbers placed
across on each of them in such posi-
ton that they would hold her up. The
timbers used were too weak, however, in
both instances, and after raising the
vessel slightly they broke and let her
into the mud again.
Another attempt viii be made tomorrow

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1.-THE
case of the state of Minnesota against
the Northern Securities company, the
Great Northern and the Northern Pacific,
which was not decided in the United
States supreme court when the adverse
merger decision was handed down, was de-
cided today.
The supreme court held that the federal
circuit court had no jurisdiction and the
case was dismissed.
The action was brought to sustain Min
nesotas statute of 1876, forbidding the con.
soIidation of parallel and competitive rail-
road lines; also to prevent illegal combi

IMPOSING
ceremony

ROME, April lI.-Pope Plus celebrated
his first mass at st. Peters today amid
O vast concourse of people.
The scene was brilliant and inspiring.
The immense basilca was crowded by 40, ,OOO
persons, including representatives of all
nations of the world
Hours before the pope arrived the spec
tators arrived in streams and struggled for
positions of advantage. Troops lined the
plaza and kept back the surging crowds.
One feature of the service was the
rendition of the Gregorian chant by over
o thousand youths, led by Father Perosi,
head of the Sistine choir.
The pope crossed from the church to the
altar in seia gestatoria amidst reverent
silence on the part OF the congregation.
His holiness was pale and looked more
aged than on the occasion of his accession
to the papal throne.

When the legislature passed the new
county road law, the members evidently
had not consulted their country constitu-
ents if the objections that are being raised
now are anything to go by. Now that the
law is beginning to take effect, the country
people are considerably wrought up over
what they consider very poor substitute
for the former system.
In the past, each county road district
levied its own road tax by popular vote
and elected its supervisor over the country
roads. thereby selecting its own man to
spend its own money. These road super
visors were elected annually, and any one
proving unsatisfactory could be removed
at the expiration of his term.
Under the old law, the people in their
respective districts were absolutely al
lowed to control and spend the taxes levied

j. s. SUPREME COURT DECIDES THAT
FEDERAL COURT CANNOT SUSTAIN
MINNESOTA ANTI TRUST STATUTE

the holding Of their stock by the Northern
Securities company was unlawful and
against the laws Of the state as well az
against the United States statutes.
BY petition the case was removed from
the state court to the United States cir
cult court, as arising under the constitu-
tion and laws of states.
The case was decided against the state
by tho general circuit court, and was then
taken to the supreme court, which invited
briefs on the question Of Jurisdiction.
Both sides argued that the case was
properly removed to the federal courts
Justice Harlan held that the suit did
not really and substantially involve suit
or controversy which the circuit court
could have taken up for final decree Hence
the circuit court should not have taken
cognizance Of IL, but should have remanded
the case to the state court.
