One of the most interesting features
of the Emperor's visit which ended TO-

present an appeal. Usually the petition

Representatives Cooper of Wisconsin and

President together today and on leaving
the white house both agreed that an eff
fort would be made at the present session
of Congress to pass legislation authorizing
the railways to arrange pools.
Mr. Cooper said that to compel the
railways to compete with each other and
at the same time have the government
fix the rate was contradictory and ridicu-
Ious His plan was to allow the railways
to pool and have government supervision

CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE, & ST. PAUL
SPRINGS SENSATION IN
SUIT ANSWER.
SEEKS RECOVERY OF TAXES.
Corporation Now Protests Payment,
Which Included Amount Paid on In
terstate Business, as Illegal.
GREAT COURT BATTLE ASSURED.

MADISON. Wis, Dec. 2.-[Special.l
The Milwaukee road today filed it's an
swer to the suit of the state which is
suing for $4,000 alleged to be due the
people in taxes on unreported gross earn
ings for the year 1898 to 1902. The
railroad company declares that instead
of owing the state anything the common
wealth owes the railroad the enormous
sum of $1,469, 1850.
Overpaid Sum in Taxes.
The railroad company says that this
amount represents the sum which it has
overpaid in taxes and bases its claim
on the fact that the road paid taxes on
interstate business and also on interstate
business where it should only have paid,
under the license fee law, on interstate
business.
The railways answer today means a
great battle in the courts which will
probably not end until it is heard by
the highest federal tribunal at Washing
ton.
Contention of the Railroad.
The law to give the state power to in
yestigate the books of railroad companies
was passed in 1908 and at the 1905 ses-
sion Of the Legislature, another statute
was enacted, directing that the state be-
gin action against the roads for back
taxes alleged to be due the state on
unrepOrtec gross earnings.
Under ordinary procedure, when taxes
are not paid under protest, no refund
can be obtained, but the railroad COM
pany evidently bases it's case upon this
part of the statute:
THAT is upon such action the court
shall find nothing due the plaintiff or
that any amount is due any of the de-
PENDANTS, judgment shall be rendered in
favor of such defendant for such amount
and the costs and disbursement of the
action
Should the state lose it's case, and the
contention of the road be upheld, it
means that nearly one and half million
dollars would have to be paid out of the
state treasury to the road. The back tax
law was one of the measures of Gov.
La Follette's administration.

THE DOG QUESTION

We all know, or we should know,
that the city ordinance requires ev-
cry owner of a dog TO have him tagged
and pay a license yearly on him. The
tag costs S1.25. They are good from
one October to another. and no longer.
Yet it is amusing to hear the city mar
shall tell Of his experience along this
line, especially with the colored popu-
latiOn. They think a dog tagged once
is tagged through this world and the
next, and some days when a dog be-
longing to a cOlOred man is put in the
city pound the owner comes up with
two or three tags. but unfortunately
they are out Of date. When they are
told this the expressions Of their faces
is quite amusing. So far this year
seventy-five licenses have been taken
out. If you love your dog you had bet
ter tag him. for if he is not tagged you
stand a good chance to lose him.

SPARKMAN WILL NOT

Is Well Satisfied with His Present
Honorable and Useful Office as
Representative for the First
District
(Tampa Tribune, 12th.)

Congressman Stephen NJ. Sparkman
will not be a candidate for the United
States senate in the democratic pri-
maries next spring. but viii be a can
didate TO succeed himself as repre-
sentative from the first congressional
| district
a definite statement to the above eff
feet was made To a Tribune represent
alive by Congressman Sparkman yes
terday afternoon, and his decision in
this regard will not only be appreciat-
ed in this district. but throughout the
state-not because Mr.. Sparkman
would not make an excellent senatorial
representative, but because of the
value Of his services in the lower
house.
Mr.. Sparkman stated that he had
given the matter OF making the race
for the senate careful consideration.
but that he had decided TO lay aside
his personal aspirations because he
believed his duty TO his constituents
and state made it incumbent upon
him TO remain in the lower house
Congressman Sparkman, as il we'll
known, is senior democratic member
Of the rivers and harbors committee
by far the most important committee
to Florida existing in either house
and his loss from that committee
would indeed be unfortunate for Flor
ida. The able representative, in case
OF democrat being elected president,
would be made chairman Of the com
mittee. Than Mr.. Sparkman there is
not an ADLER or more energetic MEM
Der on this important committee as
shown by the success he has achieved
in getting appropriations for seacoast
and river Improvements for Florida.
