senger agent of the New York Cen
trail and Hudson River railroad for
eighteen years and is favorably known
from one end of the country to the
other not only by all railroad men but
by a host of other persons of prom
inence. He was recently relieved of
the duties of general passenger agent
of the road and promoted to the po-
sition of advertising manager for all

that this is the largest post of the
army, and they have always mar
bored the view that the railroads have
not considered the Importance of the
post sufficiently, particularly as con-
Germs the matter of handling troops.
An endeavor has been under way
for some time to have established for
Fort Leavenworth a system of term
inals which would make it in every
respect, as far as transportation is con-
cerned, a model post for the army to
pattern after.
And in view of the fact that it IS the

of Leavenworth will be pleased to
learn that steps are now under way
among all the railways represented at
the post to make it one in which all
Of the roads are represented by sutfi-
cient terminals.
It is understood that the agents
of the various railroad interests will
get together and accomplish for this
post a system of terminals commen-
surate with the requirements of the
post and city of Fort Leayenworth.
The need of the additional railroad
facilities at the post will be under
stood when it is remembered that a
contingency might arise when the en-
tire brigade at the post might be hast
ily ordered out. The facilities at pres
ent would be entirely inadequate to
handle such multitude of men and
It is one of the principal objects of
the post authorities to have the add
tionaI terminals established to fulfill
this purpose.

QUESTION OF TAXATION.
Company Cannot Be Taxed by State
for Cars Used Outside.


Under a decision of the supreme court
of the United States, the decision of the
Kentucky court of appeals in the case
of the Union Refrigerator Transit COM
pany against the Commonwealth of
Kentucky is reversed. The supreme
court holds that the cars owned by the
company and used in other states can
not be taxed in Kentucky, although the
company is a Kentucky corporation.
Justice Browns statement of the case
and the decision Of the court in abstract
is as follows;
The question is directly presented
whether a corporation organized under
the laws of Kentucky is subject to tax
alton upon its tangible personal prop
erty permanently located in other states
and employed there in the prosecution of
its business. Such taxation is charged
to be q violation of the due process
clause of the fourteenth amendment to
the constitution. The adoption of gen
eTal rule that tangible property in other
states may be taxed at tile domlcile OF
the owner involves possibilities of an
extremely serious character. Not only
it would authorize the taxation of furni
ture and other property kept at country
houses in other states or even in for
eign countries, of stocks of goods and
merchandise kept at branch establish
ments when already taxed at the state
of their situS, but of that enormous mass
of personal property belonging to rail-
ways and other corporations which
might be taxed in the state where they
are Incorporated. though their charter
contemplated the construction and OPP
Grafton of roads wholly outside the
state and sometimes across the con-
tinent. and when in no other particular
they are subject to its laws and entitled

interpretations. where no business is
done within the state is open to grave
doubt. but its legality has been recog-

seem that legislation alone can furnish

TEXAS BLOCKADE is OVER.
Roads Have Decided to Bill Thei
Cars Through.

ROADS Have Decided to Bill Their
Cars Through.
The long looked for relief in the
matter of the car blockade of the
Texas terminals has come. Some time
ago the Texas officials of the railroads
running in that state were notified not
to allow cars of their respective roads
to be transferred to other roads. The
Rock Island has experienced the
greatest amount of trouble of any of
the roads 1t does not go further
south than Fort Worth, and as a. ma
jority of its traffic is billed to points
further south, this caused a serious
blockade. It tried to force the other
roads to furnish cars for transferring
the freight, but this the other roads
refused to do. The Santa Fe did not
experience SO serious 4 blockade, as
it reaches Galveston, the principal
Gulf point for this territory. How
ever. it also experienced some trouble
at the junction point with the South
ern into New Orleans, on account OF
the same difficulty.
Yesterday the agents all along the
line of the Rock Island received in
structions that they could bill cars
out for Texas points, as the trouble
had been adjusted. 1t is highly prob
able that the same order has been is
sued from the general offices of the
Santa Fe. This settlement viii un-
dOubtedly relieve the car shortage to
some extent, but not entirely.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-severaI of the pres
idents of the large railroad systems en-
terIng Chicago have been interviewed
VeltS message which deals with the reg
ulation of railroad rates and have ex-
pressed themselves as follows:
President E. P. Ripley. of the Atch-
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe-I am glad
that the president has had the sense
to see and the courage to say that the
logical and best way to prevent ais
examinations and abuses is to permit
the railroads to make agreements
among themseIves-fn other words to
subject knows that this is the most
efficient step.
President F. A. Delano. of the Wa
bash-There are evils to be COPIED with
in railroad as well as in other BUSH
nesses. The rate situation can be bet
ter settled by discussion between rail-
road men and shippers than by any
commission composed of men who know
less about and have less interest at
stake in the matter.
James J. HILL of the st. Paul-It is
the right and duty of the government
to secure fair treatment and prevent
determinations, but when any man
saws he is anxious to have a political
place in order to help out the rate max
ing power in the hands of the govern
ment and subject fortunes OF IL blI-
lion dollars capital, millions OIL en-
ployes and tens of millions of Gus
toners to the caprice of self-interest,
then the history of railroad rates in this
country constitutes sufficient contradic-
ton
President A. 3. Stickney, of the Chi
cago Great Western-If the law is TO
be amended on the basis of a square
deal the commission must have au-
thority to raise rates that are unrea-
sonabIy low as well as to lower rates
that are too high

manager Of the Theater des Capucines,
claimed $500 damages from the Gaulois be-
cause that paper announced his pieces in
a way which he alleged had done him
harm. He claims that the announcements
were so published because he had not re-
neWed his advertisement in the paper.
The court held that a paper could not be
dictated to as to how announcements
concerning theatrical performances
should be published, and that the journal
alone was the only judge of the place or
the form of such paragraphs. M. Mortier
was therefore non-suited. The Gaufois
published the judgment in full because.
as it points out, it establishes the law on
the question of publishing theatrical an
nouncements.

Railway Age Says 1t Is Outcome Oh
Constituencies Scheme.
Inst as the year was about to close
with a remarkably small number of
railway receiyerships, including no
comDanv of more than local import
lance the record has been raised to
hard fine proportions by the needless
bankruptcy of Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton combination, says the Railway
Age To a list of a few little roads, ag-
gregating less than 500 mileseand per-
haps a million and a half of bonded in
Idebtedness, are now to be added, in
one act, two great companies, oDerat-
ing nearly 1900 miles of road, and
representing something like 100000
600 of debt (nobody seems to know
how much) and $4,000. 900 or more Of
stock. This startling addition will put
the bankrupt mileage and capitaliza-
ton for 1905 far above the totals for
any of the last nine years. and lift it
into unenviable comparison with the
dark years from 1892 to 1896, when
railway receiVerships We're part of the
common calamity. These latest bank
ruptcies were not a product of general
financial conditions; they are not the
unfortunate sequence OF Il period of
struggle to make earnings pay ex-
penses and interest on legitimate debt.
The apparent insolvency of the c. H.
& D. and Pere Marquette roads is
merely the outcome of a reckless, con-
scienceless scheme to extort
money by forcing few
railway owners to buy roads that
they did not want, in order to protect
their legitimate interests. The G. H.
& D. Great Central Route" scheme
was essentially immoral from start to
finish, and it is a pity that the inven-
tors were not the sufferers when the
collapse came.
