NEWS OF A DAY IN
GEORGIA'S CAPITAL
RAILROADS MAKE APPEAL
WANT A NEW HEARING IN w. OF
ALA. CASE.

Attorney General Hart Does Not See
How the Railroads Can Win in
Their Contention, the Decision Of
the United States Supreme Court

Appeal Will Have the Effect of De-
laying Collection of the Taxes.
Atlanta, Dec. 19.-Attorneys repre-
senting the Louisville and Nashville
and the Atlantic Coast Line, joint les
sees of the Georgia Railroad, have filed
petition with the United States Su-
preme Court, asking for a re-hearing
in the case in which that tribunal re-
Gently decided that the state of Geor-
gia has the right to collect taxes on
$1,500,OOO of the capital stock of the
Western Railway of Alabama, which
the Georgia road owns.
The United States Supreme Court
held that under the constitution and
laws of Georgia, the Controller Gen
eral is compelled to collect taxes on
this stock of a foreign corporation,
owned within the state.
So far as can be seen from a copy
of the petition received to-day by At
torney General Hart. no new grounds
are presented, the decision in favor of
the state being by a unanimous court,
but in any event the filing of this petit
ton will have a tendency to delay the
collection of these taxes.
The action of the court will be await

came to Atlanta from Texas about two
years ago, was arrested to-day on a
warrant, charging ineestuous marriage.

Turned Down the Check.
City Tax Collecton4Ed. 4. Payne has
declined to accept check of the Geor-
gia Railroad and Banking Company
for something over $500, rendered in
payment of the company's taxes to the
city. The check was declined on the
advice of Controller General Wright,
on the ground that it was not sufficient
to cover the roads taxes to the city.

state and the &c q yia Railroad and
Banking Company, in regard to the
amount of taxes which the road shall
pay on its property.

NO SCRIP FOR TAXES.
So 1t Was Decided in Case Appealed
from south Carolina.

Washington, Dec. 1s.-Supreme
Court of the United States to-day af-
firmed the opinion of the Circuit Court
of the United States for the district
of South Carolina in the case of T.
B. Lee of South Carolina VS.. Robin
son of North Carolina. The case arose
over a tax sale to Robinson of land
in South Carolina, owned by Lee and
incidentally involved the question
whether revenue bond scrip of South
Carolina is receivable for taxes, as it
purports on its face to be.
Lee had made a tender of this scrip
in payment of taxes. and when it was
not received allowed the land to go
to sale. The Circuit Court held against
such a use of the scrip on constitu-
tional grounds and that finding was
sustained by to-days opinion, which
was delivered by Justice Holmes.

AWKWARD QUESTIONS

Democrats Object to Answering Financial
Interrogatories.
When the gold message of Alton
B. Parker reached the Democratic
convention at ST. Louis William ].
Bryan suggested that the currency
views of Mr.. Parker ought to be more
explicitly defined in some detail, and
that the convention therefore should
prepare list of questions connected
with the various phrases of the cur
rency issue for the candidate to an
swer, but Master of Ceremonies Will
liamS rushed to Parker's defense with
the statement thatthe candidate should
not be asked "a LOT OF FOOLISH
QUESTIONS"
This was the same public be
ID" attitude that arrogant corpor-
atoms used to take in refusing to an
swer questions of pertinent interest
to their stockholders or to the gen.
eral public, until the Republican party
remedied matters by passing law
compelling publicity, and especially es-
tablished the bureau of commerce and
labor to secure it.
Mr.. Bryan, all the Democrats in the
convention at st. Louis, and in fact
all American voters of whatever po-
litical belief, had a perfect right to
expect detailed and explicit publicity
from Candidate Parker of his views
on governmental financial policies, so
that they could know whether or not,
or to what extent his views were their
views. But this publicity was denied
them, because the managers of the
convention deemed it of more i'm
portance to protect their candidate
from questions which he would not
want to answer for fear of making
break" than to protect the voters
of the country from possible misun-

Quoted on unsound lines are always
apt to consider as foolish questions,
which, if answered, might result in
an expose. And it is the same way
with the Democratic managers, who
think their only safe policy on the
currency question Is to refuse to give
information as to what their policy
really is.
