Austin, Texas. Feb. Am the district
court here yesterday Judge Brooks re-
fused the application for an injunction
in the case of the Wells-Fargo company
and J. c. Fargo against the state auth
critics to restrain the collection of the
gross receipts tax under the new law
for 1905. The first contention of the
plaintiffs. that the law was unconstitu-
tional was overruled. The plaintiffs
then -cortended that If the express COM
panies were liable for the taz it was

the date the law went into effect. until
January 1. 1906. The representatives of
the state made Acknowledgement that the
state was seeking to collect taxes for
only 1905 under the Kennedy law and
that the amount of taxes due was based
upon the gross receipts for 1905 The
plaintiffs had therefore nothing upon
which to base their case and judgment
was rendered for the state.

the Gulf Transit company, provided the latter is not owned or controlled by the Louisville and Nashville.
 The decision is one of deep interest outside of the coal trade, for beef, lum- Der, oil and other articles are handled as coal sometimes is, and the decision applies to all articles alike.
 In the particular case that was re. viewed by the supreme court the Ches- apeake and Ohio had contracted to buy coal in West Virginia. transport it to Connecticut and deliver it there at S2.75 a ton. At this rate, the road, after paying for the coal at the mines, received only 2S cents a ton for trans portatlon, though the published rates for the distance are $1.45 ton. The entire transaction was declared illegal because it was a departure from the published rate.

Senator Dryden's Eiuht Thousand.

Senator Dryden is president of an insurance company. and he is the champion of federal supervision of in surance. In booming his fad he has boiled 5000 associations and individ- uals. In the answers he received HOS came from the south, and SS.S per cent of the southern answers say that interstate insurance business should be regulated by and brought undef the control of the federal government. A like percentage of affirmative an swers was received from other parts of the country. Out of 7454 answers 65S1 were favorable, or SS.3 per cent of all answers received.
 The trouble, however. seems to be to devise a plan of federal supervision that would be acceptable, and if such a plan can be found it will but reduce
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-02-24

supervision from forty odd kinds to two binds-the home state and federal. No one claims that Congress can take away the rights of the home state to control it's own corporations, but Sen ator Dryden insists that insurance is commerce, and when done in another state it therefore becomes interstate commerce, subject to federal control and supervision.
 There are many obstacles in Senator Dryden's way, including a decision oi the United States supreme court whol. ly adverse to his position. The entire matter is, however, in it's academic stage. except so far as the District of Columbia is concerned, and perhaps Congress will conclude to legislate for the District only, leaving moral suasion a wide field in the states and territories.

IN HOTEL LoBBIES
Railroad Wages.

"Congressman Underwood's recent speech on the railroad rate bill said Capt. Romaine Boyd yesterday lis es- pecially interesting in the figures he pre- sents relative to the wages of railroad employees.
 He shows that American railroad men are better paid than are the men who render like service in other eountrles' For example, locomotive fireman re- ceives s2.2s d day in this country, while in Great Britain he gets but ninety-one cents. and in Belgium p cents. MT Underwood's speech presents wide va riety of such facts. The American rail- road wage is just about double the French railroad pay
 He further shows that since 1895 the wages of tranmen have been increased in this country 15 per cent The retail prices of food have, however, been in creased still more, so that the purchas- ing power of the tranman's money Is not so great as 1t was in 1895. MT. un- derwood shows, however that the wages of railroad employees will not be affected in any way by the pending rate bill. All in all the speech is one that should be read throughout in order to secure the full benefits of MT. Underwoods study of the subject"

Retired Army Officers.

Congressman Prince of Illinois, made a demagogic speech Thursday when he tried to make it appear that army off cers were retired at too fast rate" said a veteran.
 'The Congressman seemed to intimate that the President and the Senate were responsible for the large number of off cers on the retired list. Now, the fact Is, Congress some years ago created a law requiring that all officers of the army at the age of 64 be placed on the retired list at three-quarters of their regular pay. Prior to that time the army was officered by many mossbacks-men who were we'll up in the seventies. As it is now, the retirement age is high, above that in the British or continental armies. l am opposed to extravaganza in gov ernment expenditures. but I think it would be simply niggardly for a rich coun- try like ours to require officers to remain on the active list after the age of GA

White Labor in Perry.

The Marion Standard says that MT. Rawls and Dr. Downey are citizens of Perry county. not of Hale. These are the men who have been foremost in inducing immigrants to come to Ala bama. They secured eighteen at the outset. and Mir. Rawls will soon go to New York where he hopes to induce one hundred immigrants to locate in Perry county.
 "The plan of Mr. Rawls," says the Marion Standard, lis of a simple na- ture. He goes in person and lays be- fore these immigrants the plain, hon est facts about this section. Tells of the character of people desired and who can succeed. He shows them how they can soon own good homes of their own-the class of labor with which they will be confronted, and how easf- ly they can supplant this labor if they will work. That the laborer Is worthy of his hire, everywhere, and people command respect and confi- dence according to the valuation they put upon their own character He pie lures the possibilities, the climate, the natural surroundings, and the good citizenship among whom they fall, confining himself to the truth as 1t is, They are offered lands to farm on shares, or positions in good homes for the various classes of work demanded and at wages now paid for the best labor"
 The Standard does not claim that MT. Rawls offers as high wages as some from northern states do, but he offers lands and opportunities, and the best immigrants prefer those to the cold dollar and a half day offered by other bidders for their labor. They are. in other words, homeseekers.
 Those who have already come to Perry are doing we'll and are well liked by their neighbors. MT. Rawls Is confident he can induce five hun dred more to come to Perry county, and if he does succeed to that extent, he is the man of the hour-the man who can solve the hardest problem the people of Alabama have to deal with. By tact and skill he induces home seekers to forget the color line, and that solves the problem. The Per ny county experiment is deeply inter- esting, and the Standard can serve this state by letting all know how i< comes on.

Insurance Recommendations s.

The report of the Armstrong com mittee has at last been laid before the New York legislature in the form of S19 printed pages. It deals with six teen subjects grouped as follows:
 1. Organizations of life insurance cor porations.
 ?. Control for the rights of policyhold- CTS in the election of directors
 B. The retirement of stock.
 4 Investment including syndicate par ticipations.
 5. Limitation of new business.
 6. Political contributions.
 z. Lobbying.
 8. Limitation of expenses.
 g. Valuation of policies.
 10. Rebates.
 II. Surrender values.
 12. Ascertainment and distribution of surplus.
 IS. Remedies of policyholders, or right to resort to the courts.
 IA. Forms of policies.
 15. Publicity and state supervision. 16 Penalties.
 Eight bills accompany the report, and one of those bills contains 1S,O00 words. A ninth bill concerning stand ard forms of policies is to be pre- sented next week, and then the broad object will be fairly before New York's legislature. On March public hear ing before the Armstrong committee will take place in Albany, and by that time the chief recommendations of the new bills will have become plain in the public mind
 The recommendation that not more than $150000,000 of new business shall be written by New York life insurance company is of general inter- est, for it assails the mad rush for new business. This had been carried so far and so expensively that the pre- mium of the first year was practically absorbed by it. In France the cost of
  ed to one per cent, and such limita- tion must operate to increase the sum that is or should be divided among policy holders.
 The New York legislature has a great task on it's hands, and if the if teen companies organized in that state are to regain the confidence of the country, the work must be well done. The country will study the Armstrong report carefully, and the proceedings at Albany will be watched with in creasing interest by the great army or policy holders.

(Heard at the Mission Dolores, 1ses.) By Bret Harte Bells of the Past, whose long forgotten
 music
 Still fills the wide expanse, Tingeing the sober twilight of the Present With color of romance!
 ing On rock and wave and sand, As down the coast the Mission voices,
 blending,
 Girdle the heather land. Within the circle of your incantation No blight nor mildew falls Nor fierce unrest, nor lust, nor low ann
 bition
 Passes those airy walls. Borne on the swell of your long waves
 receding,
 touch the farther Past I see the dying glow of Spanish glory. The sunset dream and 1ast Before me rise the dome-shaped Mission
 towers,
 The white Presidio; The swart commander in his leathern
 jerkin,
 The priest in stole of snow Once more I see Portala's cross uplifting Above the setting sun; And past the headland, northward, slowly
 drifting.
 The frightened galleon. O solemn bells whose conseerated masses Recall the faith of old O tinkling belsl that lulled with twf-
 light music The spiritual fold Your voices break and falter in the dark
 ness
 Break. falter.~ and are still; And yelled and mystic. like the Host
 descending, The sun sinks from the hill!
