FEW PASSES IN COLORADO.
Those Depending on "PuIIs" VIII b
Cut Off

The passenger association of the
Colorado terminal lines met at Den
yer recently and discussed the pass
question.
It was decided to draw the line more
closely than has heretofore been the
rule, and all the stipulations entered
into by the recent Western Passenger
association agreement will be faith
fully ratified. This means that during
the year 1908 politicians and others
who have been depending upon pulls
for free transportation will find the
latch string rather hard to reach.

GERMAN FINANCES
WILL BE SUBJECT OF Won BUE
LOWS ADDRESS TO THE
REICHSTAG.

Berlin, Dec. 4.-Chancellor Won Bue-
today for the purpose Of stating,
more in particular, tht conditions of
the country's finances, outlined during
Saturdays session by Secretary of
State Baron Won Stengel. The chan
cellor will make strong plea for
economy, calling attention to the fact
that while a deficit cannot be avoided
under any circumstances, there ex-
lists actual danger OF bringing tho
country to the very vergs of bank
ruptcy. He will forstall attacks by the
socialists by giving the government
reasons for firmly demanding the pas
sage of the bill providing for a grad
ual increase Of the army so that near
1909.
The national debt will be increased
by the exceptions of the pending
budget to three thousand four hun
dred and fifty-seven million marks,
the present debt being three thousand
and twenty-three million marks.
Considerable decreases will be reported
in the internal revenues, the consump-
ton Of champagne and cigars, for in
stance, having dropped between Aprh
IL and September 81 of this year very
materially. A plea will also be made
for an extension of the amounts Of this
years notes to be issued under the
present law.
The socialists have mapped out a
comprehensive program of attack on
the army bill. The pivotal point OF
their argument will be the campaign
in Southwest Africa relative to which
they claim to be able to make revela-
tions which will compel the govern
ment to recede from its present posi-
ton. 1t is understood that If the gov,
ernment agrees to make concessions in
this direction the socialists will with
draw their objection to the passage OF
the army bill.

MOBILE HhRBOR
WILL BECOME ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT WHEN PANAMA
CANAL Is BUILT.

New Berlin, o., Dec. 2.
Editor of the Canton Morning News:
Dear Sir: have read the interview
with James C. Deldrick, president of
the News Democrat Publishing COM
pany. regarding his trip along the
Gulf Of Mexico. l think Mobile has
some logical reasons and deep water
expectations which should obtain con-
sideration for this port. On July 16,
1904 dredging operations were complet-
ed with a depth of twenty y-seven feet.
A movement has been inaugurated to
place the claims of Mobile before the
rivers and harbors committee of con-
gress and secure for Mobile depth of
hirty-five feet over the outer bar. I'm
portant alike to Mobile and the state
of Alabama is the work now going on
of improving the Warrier rivers SO as
to give slack water navigation from
tho coal fields and mineral region of
the interior to the gulf at all seasons
Of the year. This will give the short
est water route in the country from
coal fields to the sea and will make
Mobile the cheapest coaling port in the
world After consideration of econ
omy, ship owners and masters, especi-
ally the latter, give to the health con-
ditions Of a port and the supply of
water for replenlshing their tanks. At
Mobile pipes are laid to wharves and
docks from two systems giving to ves-
sells a supply of fresh water as clear
as crystal, SO pure that the local chem
ist employ 1t without distllling in al,
of their ordinary laboratory work, and
the water is unequalled at any port in
the south. Mobile also possesses the
biggest dry dock in the south outside
the government docks, which are OBJ
tainable for private work only in
isolated instances, and Mobile firms
and mechanics have the facilities for
rebuilding iron or wooden vessels from
the keel UP and II necessary, the en-
tire engines and machinery of steam
er can be replaced there. Work of this
kind must be dofe well at Mobile, or a
corporation like the United Fruit COM
pany having connection with a dozen
ports on the Atlantic and Gulf would
not send their feet there for repairs
New Orleans is three times the 6is-
tance from the Gulf that Mobile is and
her port charges are necessarily high
er. In my opinion the immense trade
which the Panama canal will bring
to the south, Mobile must be recogniz-
ed as the coming port on the Gulf Of
Mexico. Trusting that you will excuse
my troubling you, am,
Yours respectfully,
JOS. A. PIERSON.

MAYOR FEE QUESTION
Being AG|TATED
At ALLIANCE
MAYOR. WALKER IS SEEKING TO
KNOW The TRUTH AS TO
HIS RIGHTS.
At the County Seat No One Seems
Anxious to Discover What the
Law Really contemplates.

Over at Alliance Mayor Walker is
trying to get some light upon the ques-
ton as 20 whether or not he Is en-
titled to the fees of Office. In Canton
the authorities are still in darkness.
AS the scriptures say, They love
darkness rather than light, because"
etc, etc. Mayor Walker wrote to 20
different mayors and found that in al
most every instance the councils had
given fees to the mayor with nom
inal salary.
The secretary of state was then ap-
pealed to and he in turn asked the at
toney general, who gave the follow
ing opinion, which was sent to Mayor
Walker and seems to settle the ques-
ton:
Hon. w. d. Guilbert, Auditor of State,
Columbus, Ohio.
Dear Sir--I beg to acknowledge re-
ceipt Of your communication contain
ing questions suggested by the Bureau
of Accounting regarding the salary of
of the mayor and chief of police of the
City of Cambridge. Ohio. The question
involves the right Of those officers to
receive certain fees in addition to the
salaries that have been provided by
the city council Limiting the answer
to the direct point in controversy,
would say that the mayor and chief of
police are not entitled to any fees ac-
cruing from the arrest of individuals
for violation of city ordinances.
Under section 126 of the new mu-
nicippal code 1t is provided that:
'"The council shall fix the salaries of
all officers. clerks and employees in the
city government, except as otherwise
provided in this act, and except as
otherwise provided in this act, all fees
pertaining to any Office shall be paid
into the city treasury"
1t would follow from the foregoing
that the fees collected in that class of
cases should be paid into the city
treasury and not retained by the Off
GERS mentioned
Very truly yours,
WADE H. ELLIS,
Attorney General.

WHY NOT HERE?

A short time ago the board Of pub
lie works decided to try oil on the
streets Of Paducah as preventative
and dust settler. lie is regretted that
nothing further has beeu heard Of the
experiment and is to be hoped that the
matter will be taken up at once.
A Lexington, KY, dispatch indi-
Gates that oil there has proven highly
satisfactory and when all the streets
are oiled will make Lexington the
only city in the country free from
dust. The dispatch adds:
1.-THE city has completed the oiling
of &C blocks OF the city streets. and
the innovation has proved such . sue
cess that contracts will be let for the
remaining four miles to be oiled in
the same way, so rs to complete the
circuit OF the entire city. When the
remaining streets are oiled there will
be absolutely no dust in the city and
Lexington will have the distinction
OF being the first city in the United
States to be free from dust by such
process.
