u. S. HAS FULL POWER

That the United States has full
power under the co institution to gov
ern and control railroad corporations
is declared by Judge H. H, Farrar of
New Orleans, in letter addressed to
President Roosevelt.
The railroads, he says, are crea-
lures Of the nation. This fact places
them under the rule of the nation
and has the dual result both of regu-
lating the road and protecting them
from an unjust exaction by the rates.
The roaGs can be protected, he says,
against the prejudice of the local jury
by giving them the right to sue and
be sued IN the federal court. The
national government should provide
the manner and extent through which
the railroads should Ee taxed by the
states. Judge Farrar discussed the
letter with the president, who re-
quested that he give the letter to the
public for information and discussion.
Judge Farrar says: "These corpor-
atoms, being creatures of the United
States and instIumentality provide
LOT the proper performance of its
functions, the United States can reg
ulate them as follows:
Their mode of organic alton
and management. 2-Their capital
Stocks and their creation of debt and

A POSSIBLE SOLUTION
OF the Public and District School
Controversy.

An effort is now being made on the
part of the school trustees of those
districts nearest town and most eff
fected by the exodus of residents of
those districts to the public school. an
account of which was printed in Sun
days paper. to solve the problem.
Thus far the effort has simply been
confined to gathering an accurate
figure of the sentiment in the districts
most effected. The method adopted by
the different trustees is one that will
be absolutely correct as it involves a
personal canvas of each district by
some member of the board.
A statement to this effect has been
prepared. ut is my opinion that il
would be to the advantage of all con-
cerned if no child living in this dis
trict of a school age shall attend any
school outside of this district without
having first completed the work of the
first six grades as prescribed in the
school laws of Arizona; provided that
a child not having completed this work
may attend school in another district
with the consent of a majority of the
trustees of this district The above
is by no means the exact wording OF
the canvas sheet but is substantially
the purport Of it. On the sheet is a
