The resignation by Congressman
Bowers of the General Counselship of
the Gulf & Ship Island r. r. Co., is
step that will meet with the appro-
baton of the voters of the Sixth
Congressional District. Had he
surrendered this position before the
last Campaign, it would have left the
opposition SO completely without a
single tentable issue, that he would
have been relieved of any possible
real anxiety for his reelection which
might have concerned him when
passing through that period. The
day has come in America when the
common people want their represen-
tation to go into the Congressional
Halls with no railroad strings dang

IS A GRAND OLD RULER.
Kaiser Franz Josef, Emperor Of Aus

Austria and king of Hungary, ruler Of
a dozen states and 20 peoples speaking

remarkable figures In the civilized

tragedies OF his family. and, above
all, the wonderful way he holds to-

empire.

Companies Have Not Decided
What To DO.
Two Telephone Systems Cannot Use
Poles Jointly and Conduit Is
Too Expensive.
TELEGRAPH POLES ARE FEW.

Mayor Yeiser today signed the or
dinance fixing an annual rental of so
the pole for all poles used in the pub
lie highways of Paducah by telegraph
or telephone companies. This ordi-
nance affects the Home and Bast Ten
nessee Telephone companies and the
Postal and Western Union Telegraph
companies. If the poles are allowed
to stand as thick as at present, they
will be a source of hundreds of dol
lars revenue to the city annually.
Among the managers of the tele-
graph and telephone companies which
will be affected by the new pole rem
tai ordinance, the attitude seems to
be one Of indifference. The question
of resisting the tax or submitting TO
1t, will be decided by the officers In
the companies higher up, and as yet
they have not been Informed what
the decisions are.
However, should the tax have to be
paid, it is unlikely that the companies
could effect any great saving by COM
bining to use the same poles. The
telegraph companies have so few
poles in the city that the tax is not
significant. The telephone companies
have not used each others poles and
would find it i'm practicable to do so.
The rivalry between the employees of
the two companies, the greater time
required to repair trouble on pole
with many wires, and the actual dan
ger in having too many wires to the
pole, are some of the reasons.
The only way the number Of poles
in the city has been reduced is where
the light company combined with the
telephone company. The managers
state that 1t is more expensive for all
concerned to combine. For instance,
"a telephone employe has to climb
through lighting wires OF high volt
age. necessitating great care. and
therefore more time and expense. 1t
would be cheaper to pay the tax than
to build a conduit system.

HIGH LICENSE
WILL PREVAIL IN PADUCAH DUR
ING NEXT YEAR.
Bucket Shops, Instead OF Being
Driven Out, Will BE Heavily
Taxed.

City Solicitor James Campbell has
been instructed in drafting the new
license ordinance to insert a clause
for bucket shops" commonly term
ed commission houses. Instead of en-
forcing the ordinance now in effect,
which will after the first of the year
exclude them from the city, this ordl-
nance will be repealed and a license
tax of $4,000 imposed. 1t is thought
this will be too steep, and will drive
them away. The present license tax
is $500 per annum.
The joint license committee has de-
cided on the following raises in H.
Genes, all being subject to the action
of the boards:
Loan companies from $3.50 to $500
all liquor dealers $3.50 per annum,
where heretofore 1t was gagged by
the class of sales, whether retail,
wholesale, in gallons. quants or pints;
ice dealers from SIS to SIS. No pro-
vision has heretofore been made for
blacksmiths and horseshoers, and o
tax of $40 was fixed for them.

Right Kind of Material is
Scarce i'm Paducah.
Police and Fire Commissioners Will
Not Take Any Definite Action
Tonight.
ALL PATROLMEN WILL REMAIN

Little business is expected to be
transacted by the board of police and
fire commissioners tonight at their
regular meeting. although the reor-
ganization of the police department
and names of applicants will be con-
sidered. No appointments will be
made. Sutherland, one of the COM
missloners, is absent.
AS forecasted exclusively in The
Sun, the positions OF patrol driver
and wagon guard will be arranged
so that an efficient reserve will be af-
forded at the police station for
emergency cases, and one man will
not have to remain on duty day and
night.
Two detectives will be appointed
and it has been intimated that De-
tectives Moore and Baker will be
reinstated, but when asked the COM
missioners today said no decision has
been made by the board officially
about the detective force, and they
have a number of applicants for the
position. 1t is believed generally,
however, that the old men will go
back.
The commissioners have discover
ed one fact-there are plenty of citi-
zens ready TO assume the duty Of
guarding the public peace and prop
erty, but there is a dearth of the
kind of material, physically, mental
ly and morally, the board would like
to have wearing the uniform ON the
streets. 1t will be difficult for the
board to find a sufficient number Of
the right kind OF men to increase the
force to 80. AS much has been said
by commissioners. All the present
force probably will be retained.
