HELENA, MONT.-The supreme court has

Ing prisoners is constitutional. The case came
before the court an appeal from Judge Glenn

of the state pooled together several months
ago and raised fund to fight the law, engaging
two wen-known attorneys, and the effect Of the
ruling causes gloom among the peace officers.

RAILROAD BILL
Ohio Senator Would Amend the
Elkins Rebate Law to Pre-
vent Discrimination.

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator For
aker of Ohio has presented to the senate
committee on interstate commerce the
copy Of a bill drafted by him to amend
the interstate commerce law, and has
given out statement embodying his
views of the measure.
He says: "The results desired by
the president should be accomplished, -
adding that this should be done. If DOS
sible, without comforting the rate-mak-
ing power on the interstate commerce
commission or any other governmental
agency. Senator Foraker said it is the
aim Of his bill to secure the protection
of shippers and the rights of the peo-
pie without involving the whole question
in constitutional objections which would
be raised in case the rate-making power
were placed upon any commission.
Amend Elkins Law.
Senator Foraker said his bill proposed
to amend the Elkins law and that he
believed it would be more prompt,
economical and efficient remedy than
ing government commission power to
fix rates.
He said tho three things complained
Of are excessive rates, rebates and dis
examinations.
The president has said that excessive
rates are not often complained Of. Re-
bates have about disappeared and the
Determinations. This, Senator Foraker
said, he proposed to remedy in his bill
by amending the Elkins act SO that it
will be applicable to every form Of dis
elimination that can arise.
It provides that whenever shipper
may think that he is charged an ex-
cessive rate or. is Disseminated against
he may bring complaint before
sion saS instead nlSlo of proceeding @ ing S TO have
a formal trial as heretofore, con-
tinuing thru several years, shall GER
tify the complaint with brief state
| ment to the attorney general and the
attorney general shall refer it to the
district attorney, who shall at once file
petition in circuit court of the
United States and court shall proceed at
hearing may enjoin the railroad against
the excessive rate, the rebate, or the dis
elimination.
Rights Of Appeal. s.-.
The railroad shall have the right to
appeal, but such appeals shall not sus-
pend the Judgment Of the court pend
ing final decision
In case an injunction is issued where
excessive charge is alleged, it shall be
to enjoin all that part Of such rate that
may be in excess of the lawful rate.
Senator Foraker said that this will
save much time to shipper as the Fl ght
does not have to go before the inter
state commission, but goes to a court
Of first instance. Another proviso of
the bill is that it will allow the books
and papers Of any Interstate road to be
examined by an expert Of the inter-
state commerce commission.
All passes are abolished. Still another
provision is that freight destined for
export must be charged the same rate
as over the same line and the same dis
tance for use within the United States.

Alabama,s Fol, Tax Law.

Macon Telegraph.
The Boston Herald has discovered
with evident surprise that in Alabama
the poll tax condition is being enforc-
ed against both races without discrim-
ination on account of race or color. )"
The Herald has become convinced of
this by fading in The Montgomery Ad-
vertiser an exhortation to the white
citizens to pay up their taxes in order
to get on the voting list.
The Advertiser says there are 100000
white citizens of Alabama entitled to
registration, but less than 10000 have
Notwithstanding that 10000 do not
care to pay their poll taxes. 1t appears
requirements in the matter of poll taxes
are almost Identical with the poll tax
law in Georgia, except that the age
limit in Georgia is so instead of As. The
Advertiser says: Persons over As
years old are exempt from the neces-
to vote they must have paid all poll
taxes assessed on them previous to
reaching that age. All persons under
As must have paid all poll taxes due
from them. 1t does not suffice to pay
the tax for the year in which one de-
mulative, and the voter has to have a
clear record of no poll tax due"
1T is plain" comments The Boston
Herald, that ii (the poll tax require
nlenD is operating for the restriction
OF the white electorate. although per-
haps more effectively against the ne
groes. in proportion to the number who
are eligible ON all other grounds"
If The Boston Herald and other
newspapers of it's class would spend
more time investigating and become
less prone to assumptions on INSULT

strictions of the Southern electorate.

II don't know who was the author of
the Alabama law exempting cotton in
the hands of the growers from taxa
tion,' said Montgomery citizen yes
terday, but he may credit himself with
having given a boon to the farmers Of
Alabama who are now struggling to get
a fair and reasonable price for the
money staple of the South
The farmers have been robbed inter-
mittently ever since the war In selling
their cotton. They seem to be now
more awakened to the reasons for the
depredations than they have ever been.
They are beginning to appreciate the
absolute necessity of organization. One
of the purposes of organization is to
hold the staple tight until their price
is offered An apparently successful
campaign of holding is now being con-
Quoted. The farmers need all the en-
enlargement possible In this noble eff
fort They are fortunately relieved Of
the burden of taxes They can hold
forever and encounter no more expense
than. providing for safe storage.
The Legislator who put the act
through should be popular man at
this time and. am inclined to think,
must have foreseen the wisdom of en-
couraging as much as possible the pol
icy of clinging to ones product until a
fair price Is gotten. That price looks
to be not far ahead

We call attention to an article on
this page from The Macon (Ga.) Tele-
graph as to Alabama's poll tax. That
article is not correct in one particu-
lar. in that it would leave the impress
sion that payment of poll tax is a.
prerequisite to voting. We have often
tried to get men to register by i'm
pressing upon them the fact that they
could register without paying poll tax.
The tax has nothing to do with regis
tering. OF the 100000 white men in
Alabama who can register and to that
extent comply with the law only 1907
900 have complied. The other $4,000
can never vote until they register. but
they can register no matter how much
poll tax they owe. When it comes to
voting all those above As and who paid
all poll tax due UP to that age can vote
If they are registered. Those under
As must be clear of the poll tax books
and must be registered also.

A MIsSIssIPPIAN.
Proposes to Employ Two Hundred Pied
mont Italians.

Planters and large employers of labor
in Mississippi and the South generally
will be interested to learn that the Hon.
Charles Scott, of Rosedale. the largest
individual planter in Mississippi has
just returned from a tour of several
months in Europe, during which he
made a careful study of the availability
of the labor supply on the continent.
with an especial view to it's employ
ment in the cotton fields in the South.
Within the next few days Mr.. Scott
will issue a statement showing the re-
suits of his investigation and giving his
views of the adaptability of the foreign
labor element. His decision of this
subject is certain to be of widespread
interest, for he is a keen observer a
careful student and through long ex-
perience with the labor element, can
speak from the standpoint of the one
who knows thoroughly the subject he
Is discussing.
1t is evident that Mr.. Scott found
that the Italians from the northern
provinces are the most desirable class
of immigrants for this section of the
country for he made arrangements to
bring about 200 foreigners of this class
to Mississippi. and they are expected
to arrive within the next few days
