puRrTANrcAL BOSTON.

Graft" incompetency, peanut poll
ties and ignorance have characterized
the city council OF Boston 10 degree
that would seem astounding when the
high mental standards Of that COM
munity are considered. For years 1t
was customary TO have all carriage

city. the aldermen simply 20. King"

ing them. Cab and carriage bills
climbed at an alarming rate, some OF
those for individual aldermen run
ming up into the thousands every year.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
some aldermen had been sending out
their families for afternoon drives In
the parks, the city paying for the car
riages used. Others have had whole
strings of carriages used for some
members Of constituents family

POLICE POWERS.

Questions involving the police pow
ers of a state will probably soon be de-
terrnined by the supreme court OF the
United States. In New York recently
the supreme court passed upon the
legality of the ten hour day law for
bankers, which was in effect, forbid
ding bakers to work more than 60
hours in week. Unless it was clear,
the court decided, that restrictions OF
this sort were intended to protect life'
health or morals, they could not be
allowed to suspend or override the
constitutional rights of the citizens,
Conditions in the bakers trade We're
declared not to warrant the use made
Of the states police power, inasmuch
as no peril to life. health or morals
had been shown sufficient to justify
the arbitrary limitation of a bakers
working hours.
In view of this decision declared by
Justice Harlan to be an exceptionally
important and far reaching one, an
attempt is now being made in Indiana
to apply the states general police
powers is certain to attract much IN
terest. The Indiana legislature at its
last session passed stringent anti
cigarette law This measure made 1t
illegal to manufacture, sell or give
away cigarettes; but it even went fur
ther than that. and made it a Unable
offense to smoke cigarette or have
in ones possession either a cigarette
o. a cigarette wrapper. The law was
approved by the governor and has now
gone into effect. Last week the leader
of an orchestra in Richmond Ind,
was arrested for smoking a cigarette
and was fined S25. A citizen OF An
derson was arrested on the same day
and fined sS5 for having cigarette pa
per in his possession. Appeals have
been taken in both cases and the state
courts will have to decide whether tn
law as it stands is valid. Eventually
if the plaintiffs lose, an appeal will b.
taken TO the federal supreme court
Oregon has no law prohibiting tn
smoking of cigarettes, although an ef
the legislature to pass one. There SEEM

TIMBER LANDS.

Dealers in timber lands report an
exceptionally quiet year and attribute
the dullness to the fact that the Ore
gon timber land frauds have had a
tendency to withhold capital from the
east that otherwise would have been
invested in Pacific coast timber prop
critics. The fasteners seem to fee
that the fraud cases are more genera
than they really are and that the title
to lands are not secure. AS soon as
their minds are set right and that tht
government is only after the politici'
ans and not the land sharks, who arr
the most guilty, the local dealers an
ticipate a speedy return to normal con
1itions.

COMPROMISE on TAXES.
Southern Pacific and Kentucky Off
ciaIs Get Together.

Louisville, KY, Dec. 6.@The claim of
the county of Jefferson and state of
Kentucky for five years back taxes
against the Southern Pacific Railroad
company on valuation Of 5000, 900 has
been compromised. Today in the coun-,
ty court an order was entered whereby
the company agrees to pay total of
S54 900 in settlement Of all back taxes
and agrees hereafter to nay the COM
pany and state taxes each year on an
assessed valuation of 81 700, 900. The
Southern Pacific Railway company is
a holding corporation, having no pos
sessions in Kentucky Only an Office
is located here. The big reduction in
valuation was reached on the basis
that the supreme court has decided that
the state of Kentucky can not tax
tangible property not u-ithin the limits
of the state.

New York, Dec. 6-George ". Perkins
was elected yesterday chairman of the
Pere Marquette railroad His election to
the same office in the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton & Dayton road makes him the exec
utive head of the two properties. There
have been no changes IN the boards Of
these roads. Morgan interests declined to-
day to confirm or deny the report that
suits are to be started against the ex-
owners of these properties. Mr.. Perkins
was in conference late in the afternoon
with H b Ho1lins, who bought the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and Pere
Marquette roads for J. ?. Morgan &
Co, and with Russell Harding, who was
for time identified with the Erie road.
No details concerning the conference
were obtainable.
Receiver Harmon and G. F. Browneu,
vice president of the Erie and also of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, had a
long conference today relative to the
condition Of the property. After the con-
ference Mr.. BrOWnen said:
i wish to say that the Erie is now no
longer a factor in the affairs of the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, and is not
in control in any manner Whatsoever
wish you would make that plain. I am
here in consultation with Judge Harmon
solely as vice president of the Cincinnati
Hamilton & Dayton The fact that I am
also a vice president of the Erie is no
longer of any significance.

Medicine Lodge. Kan, Dec. Ga mis-
understanding between citizens of Kiowa.
and the officials of the Denver, Enid &
Gulf railway has tied up work on the
proposed line and may be the cause of
losing the road to Barber county. The
railroad officials say that KioWa, in ad-
ditiOn to the county bonds, promised
right of way through the town and forty
acres for terminals. Kiowa people say
this proposition was only made in connec-
ton with the township bond proposition
Again, the railroad claims that the price
asked by individuals for right of way
through land near Kiowa is too high. One
man asks $1,000 for crossing eighty acres
and another asks 50. 600.
Milton Brown, attorney for the COM
pany, has made a statement partly as
follows:
THE contract for construction of the
d. &. & G. from Cherokee to Medicine
Lodge has not been let. The gang of men
near Kiowa are not graders, it is the sur
Veying crew cross sectiOning. correcting

ACTIVITY IN OLD MEXICO.
Ten Millions to Be Spent in improving
Railroads There.

Austin, Tex. Dec. ct is estimated
that not less than 100000 900 in gold
viii be expended in Mexico during the
next u months in the construction of
new lines of railroad; in extending eX-
listing lines and in repairs and improve
nents.
An era of railroad building that sur
passes any previous record in that
country has set in. It is announced
that important extensions of the roads
comprising the government railroad
systems are contemplated. The Pacific
division of the National is to be con-
verted from narrow to standard gauge
in order to conform to the main line of
that system. The Interoceanic, which
also belongs to the government merger
system, will also be changed to stand
ard width as soon as the necessary sur
veys and plans can be made for the
work.
