Transient Merchants
Tax UnCOnStitu-
tiOnal

The new license law Of the las
Legislature, known as Act 40 ~
1904, was last Monday morning de-
clared unconstitutional by the State
Supreme Court, Justice A d Land
being the organ OF the Court. The
act imposed a license on drummers,
aud the case has been closely
watched b. them in all parts OF the
State. The case also applies to all
itinerant vendors, such as l,eddlrrs
and Syrian vendors.
The title of the case was James
Beary, Sheriff and Tax Collector.
vs.. Joseph Narreau.
The syllabus in the case is az fol
lows:
l. Act 40 OF. 1904, amending
Section ~ of Act 1O3 of 1900, is
broader than It's title, and therefore
unconstitutional, in so far as it pur-
ports to levy q license tax on ''all
transient merchants and itinerant
vendors selling w consumers l..

1t is therefore ordered, sdjudged

planting trees, both fruit and orna-

Covington already has many beaut,.

10 our people during the long bot

more to ill the vacant places about

US suggest and urge that each prop

young oaks. They will not only
beautify and adorn your premises.
but will stand as living monuments
to your memory when you are

NOTES0F THE RAIL WAYS
Burlington's Plan to Run Trains
by Telephone.

One on the Union Pacific Made Sixty
three Miles an Hour, Part of Way
Up Steep Grade-GrOwth of Freight
Cars-LOfty Railroad Viaduct on
the indianapolis Southern.
The Burlington railway is preparing
to give a practical test of the opera
ton of trains by telephone, says the
Kansas City Times. The work of
stringing additional wires between
Kansas City and st. Joseph has been
begun, and by late fall every station
will have been equipped with a new
telephone service. The phones will
connect with a system of wires which
leads to- the dispatcher's office in ST.
Joseph and to the superintendent of
terminals Office in Kansas City. When
the service is started trains will be
operated on the block system, using
the manually controlled signals for
train orders. Burlington officials be-
lieve that the service will give better
satisfaction than use of the telegraph,
A limited telephone service between
Kansas City and St Joseph is now in
use by the Burlington, but no effort
is made to control the movement of
trains by it exclusive of the telegraph.
The phones are used now by station
agents to talk over business matters
that come up in their offices. The tele-
phone at the Bean Lake station is now
used by conductors to call the dis
patchers office for orders There is no
operator at Bean Lake. A. 7. Perkins
of st. Joseph, superintendent Of the
line between Kansas City and st. Jo-
seph. who was at the Kansas City I'm
ion depot recently said:
Material for construction of the adj
ditional telephone service is on hand
and the lines are being built. We have
never made an effort to block trains
by telephone, but we believe it a good
plan and will give it a trial at least.
We do not propose to do away with
the telegraph. Those wires are always
busy and will frequently be used for
securing train orders when the tele-
phone wires are busy. We believe the
telephone is just as safe or even safer
than telegraph. Neither instrument re-
cords it's messages, but plain talk is
often better than the talk of a tele-
graph key. We hope to have the wires
strung and connected with all of the
sixteen stations this fall
