JUDGE INSISTS
ON EXERCISE
Of POWER
PRICHARD DECIDES HE'S
RIGHT IN NORTH CAROLINA
Against State Off,
Gals Not Violation of FEEDER
al Constitution Former Rail-
road Lawyer Declares From
the Bench,

A~sheville, n. c.. Aug. 29.-Judge
Prichard, in the United States circuit
curt. announced today i'm the rate
case of the Southern Railway against
the corporation commission and the
attorney general of North Carolina,
upholds the jurisdiction of his court
i'm the issuance of the recent injunc-
tions against officials during the rail-
road rate controversy and declares
that the suit is not one against the
state within the meaning Of the eleV-
enth amendment to tn efcderal con-
stitution.
That amendment holds the judicial
power of the United States shall not
extend to any suit against a state by
citizens of another state.
The decision said that a state legis-
lature cannot SO frame an act as TO
deprive a citizen Of a right vOuchsafcd
him by the federal constitution. IL
does not possess the power ITO deprive
this court of its jurisdiction and the
sooner these questions are definitely
determined, the better it Will be for all
parties concerned"
The decision holds thai the corpor-
alton commission is still charged with
making rates. the only limitation upon
the power of the members being chat
they shall not make a maximum rate
in North Carolina in excess OF 2

mission and the attorney general are
specially charged with the duty of Sc
curing the enforcement of section 4 Of
the passenger rate act. which provides
heavy penalties and fines for a ~failure
of railroads n their officials to COM
ply with that act.'
All laws in existence on the passage
of that act bearing on supervision and
control Of railroads, etc. are to be
construed in connection with the rate
act. Prior to his appointment TO the

The financial part of this bill is quite
a departure from our present law. II
is modelled after the law in operation
in New Hampshire. We have given
this matter considerable thought ana
study. but have not been able to de-
wise any scheme for equalizing high
way taxation except the idea or a
general highway tax on all property OF
the State which might be reapportion-
ed to the several towns according to
their needs-said needs to be deter
mined by a state commission and said
funds to be expended under their
direction.
Section four of the bill makes it in
cumbent on towns to expend a certain
amount of their regular highway
money in doing permanent work, the
amount to be so expended depending
on the valuation of the town and
varying from s1.00 per thousand OF
valuation in the poorer towns to $0.25
per thousand of valuation in the
Weather cities. 1t should be remem
bered that this provision calls for nc
extra taxation; the money is to be
taken from the regular highway appro-
priation made in each town. To be
sure it will reduce the amount OF
money available for maintenance work
but by only a small percentage in some
towns. and by only about 20 per cent
on the average all through the State.
For handling the business in con-
ncction with the apportionment and
expending of state road money the bill
asks for the establishment Of a State
Highway Department to be provided
with suitable offices and equipment.

REAL ESTATE.

road commissioner has difficulty now
IN performing his regular highway
work, and especially in doing the work
in it's proper season on account of the
inability of the commissioner to Sc
/ cure labor.
We believe that the proposed bill
provides for a larger expenditure of
state roaC funds in every town than
mas peen the case before. consequently,
more perfect organization and more
systematic methods must be sought
through which to make these expendi-
| lures. The contractor with his organ
| lied force. trainmen foremen and i'm
proved machinery offers solution to
| the problem
furthermore, road building is rs
| much q trade or profession as is any
other line Of construction work, and il
we are going to progress in this line
Oh work, let us go about it in
business fashion. Let US follow the
example set by railroads and other
business corporations of doing con-
struction work by contract. Our bill
provides that TWINS may bid on work
iocated within their limits. Thus
towns are granted the same privilege
winch they now enjoy of doing their
own state road work. provided only
that they viii agree to do the work at
as low a price as will some contractor.
ii towns cannot meet the prices named
by a contractor they must acknowl-
cage that they will get more for their
money under the contract system
IMAM under the system Of doing work
themselves.

plantations and townships should see
tit to apply for State aid in any one
year. AS an increasing number of
towns have taken advantage of the
present law each year it is not unrea-
sonable to suppose that with the added
impetus of more liberal treatment of
the towns by the State the number OF
towns taking advantage Of the law will
steadily increase until at no distant
GATE all towns will make appropria-
lions and apply for State aid.
For providing funds to enable fhe
state to meet its payments under the
Dill tax Of 1 mill Is called for. We
do not know what the new State
valuation will be. but have been adj
Vlsed that mill tax would probably
yleld $4,000 more than the amount
named at the beginning of this para
graph as necessary TO pay State aid.
II should be borne in mind that or

The head of the department shall be
known as the State Commissioner of
Highways. who shall personally su-
perintend the work of the department.
He may appoint if the work of the de-
partment requires it an assistant or
deputy commissioner, one chief clerk,
and one stenogrOpEer. The bill fur
Their provides that the commissioner
| may subject to the approval Of the
governor and council, employ such
other help as may be necessary for the
proper execution of the work of the
department. 1t gives authority to en-
ploy engineers and inspectors to look
after work performed by contract
for as will be seen by section eight,
the bill provides that each job of
state road work costing over $1,000 must
be performed by contract. Section seven
also provides that the department may
furnish free of expense to any city
not employing city engineer, town Or
plantation. the services of an engineer
to make surveys or give advice con-
corning the construction. Improvement
or repair Of it's highways The pres
ent commissioner of highways. should
this bill become 4 law. and should he
be placed in charge of the work, plans
| to take care of the surveying and in
spection work by employing local en-
gineers, employing in each case that
engineer located nearest to the work in
question.
Our idea as to employing inspectors
| on contract work is not to keep a man
constantly on one job. but to place as
| many contiguous jobs under his charge
as he would be able to attend to AMI
see each job once every four or five
days. This matter of inspection dur

greatest importance.
