ErcSSman william Alucn Slllltn, WHO
was recently elected as Gen. Ayers
successor for the full term which will
commence OH the date named. AS
stated in last weeks letter. it is argued
that if Congressman Smith is pro-
NOTED to the senate even a few days
senators who will take til Nir seats
on March 4. he will have the advan-
tage which attaches TO seniority in
that dignifed body. This advantage.
il is urged, will insure him and. of
course. the state of Michigan, better
committee assignments than will be
given him in the natural course Of
events if he goes in with dozen or
more new senators.
Only Chance for Rich.
Naturally. Congressman Smith
shares this view of the situation and
no doubt desires all the prestige he
can possibly have On the othcr.hand,
There is Il disposition 10 confer the
honor upon eX-GOvcrnor John Il. Rich.
1t will be many year, in all proba-
bility, before Senator Smith is retired
from the senate. the very general inn
preston being that he will continue
senator for life, while, because of his
age, this will be the only chance Gov
ornor Rich will have to secure the
honor ana the title.
1t is conceded that the outcome rests
with Standardized Smith. If he de-
cides that il will be best for him and
the state because of the above mon
toned considerations. to be elected for
the short term. his wishes will prevail
If he should decide to foregO the honor
IL will without doubt so to Governor
Rich, there being practically no men
tlon of anyone else.
Protests by Railroads.
The railroad companies Of Michigan
have until the 18th instant in which to
enter their protests against the assess
mcnts recently made by the state board
of assessors. the law providing that
the commissioners shall sit thirty days
us a board of review. The protests
thus far made have, for the most part
been by the smaller roads, but there
is still plenty Of time for the larger
| ones to be heard. Although the tenta-
tive assessment this year is higher than
that of one year ago. the aggregate
| tax levied is very slightly less, this
being due to the decrease in the aver
age rate of taxation i'm the state.
1t is expected that the legislature
will get down to the consideration of
| important railroad legislation at an
early date. Former Railroad Commits
sioner Atwood, who retired from office
last week in favor of Hon. G.. L. Glas-
gov of Nashville, has some emphatic
ideas as to the proper manner of han
ding the car shortage situation. He
can see no relief outside Of congress
sional action. 1t is his opinion that
under the existing system the railroad
which receives less freight than ii de-
livers to other roads. gradually finds
itself losing it's cars, while those roads
which receive the larger proportion of
freight always have cars in abund-
ance.
Reason Is Obvious.
The reason for this situation is OBJ
vious. It is the former commissioner

demurrage law would simply prove

PURCHASED BY COMMISSION.
Tug Robert n. Smith Designed fol
Panama Canal Work.

The preliminaries to the purchase of the
big tug Robert H. Smith, belonging to the
American Towing and Tightening Company
of Baltimore, by the United States sthmian
canal commission have been completed and
the steamer has been taken to Sparrows
Point, to the works of the Maryland Ship
building Company, where she will be looked
over and such changes as may be necessary
to fit her for service in the Panama canal
work will be made. Under the terms of
sale the former owners Of the tug are to
supply her with a new propeller, but all
other work Is to be done at the expense Of
the government. 1t is probable that when
the big dredges building at the SparroWs
point shipyard for the canal work are COM
pleted and ready to start for Colon the tug
will accompany them and take part in the
towing work. The Smith is new vessel,
having been built at Baltimore last year.
She is an ocean-towing vessel of DOT tons
burden and Is 1OS feet long, 234 fee, beam
and lilo feet deep. Her hull Is Of steel and
she is equipped with all modern appliances
usual in vessels Of her class. The Smith
should be able to render efficient aid in
the canal construction work.

D. OF G. JUST WON'TPAY
AND NOW CAR SERVICE ASsoCIA-
TON ASKS WHY"

The District government and the inter-
state commerce commission may lock horns
over the failure of the local authorities to
pay bill for the detention Of cars. 1t is
claimed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company that the Commissioners owe 1t
sE for demurrage on cars consigned to
the Commissioners, and the Baltimore and
Washington Car Service Association has
been attempting to collect the bill since
December, 1906.
Chairman Knapp of the interstate COM
merce commission has received the fol-
lowing letter from A. L. Gardner, manager
of the Baltimore and Washington Car
Service Association:
THE agents of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad have made frequent attempts to
collect these charges, and the Commits
sioners have refused to pay same. There
Is no question, l believe, as to the cor
rectness of the bills, but the Commission
ers have simply refused to recognize or
pay their car shortage bills. In view of
the general car shortage in which your
honorable body has taken SO much inter-
est, do you see any reason why this branch
OF the United States government should
refuse TO comply with the car shortage
regulations when all other patrons of the
ROAD are required to do 500?
In accordance with this letter Chairman
Knapp has sent copies of these bills to the
Commissioners. The demurrage was on
cars containing terra Gotta pipes from
New Cumberland. W. Va, shipped by the
Mack Manufacturing Company OF Phila-
delphia.
property Clerk NJ. Z. Harsrove said,
when these bills were called to his atten-
tion that If the charge is a proper one the
bills should be paid by the Mack Manu-
, featuring Company and not by the Dis
trIcI government. He adds: The railroad
is cognzant of this, as l am advised 1t
presented the bills to the company and
1t refused to settle the same claiming
that it was no fault of its own that the
cars were lost in transit and were then
run into this city in a greater number than
1t was possible for them to be unloaded
within the time allowed before demurrage
accrued"
