Good Roads in Europe.

Logan Waller Page. director of the office of public roads of the United states department of agri- culture, who was named by Presi- dent Roosevelt as head of the American commission to the re- cent International Roads Congress- at Paris, returned to Washington a few days since. firm in the belief that in some of the more scientific branches of highway construction the United States has nothing to learn from the older Nations. though he was willing to concede that those countries surpass this to an amazing degree in the percentage of improved road mileage and in the jealous care with which their splendid highways are maintained.
 Among the many things which
The Huttig news., 1908-12-05

especially impressed Mir. Page during this European trip was the discovery that many miles of very satisfactory highways in England have been constructed by mixing limestone and granite after the methods set forth in publications issued through the United States office of public roads. and the amusing discussion now being car fied on by English automobilsts
 g inst horse traffic in city streets and suburban highways.
 It is his belief that from the Congress itself at least one big result will follow and credit for that must go to America. On suggestion by MT Page. it was de- termined to create an International Bureau of Roads. similar in some respects to the International Blu reau of Navigation This body will consist of two or more delegates from each of the 29 governments represented at the congress. It's purpose will be the collecting of all possible information on road work. the passing omit by committee of experts, and it's distribution throughout the world.
 The ultimate benefits of so far reaching a move cannot now be es- timated, but the world will some day carry heavy debt of gratitude to the government whose highway representatives conceived the thought of such a bureau, and brought to it's support the dele gates of every civilized country OF the globe.

STATEMENT OF LOVE.
Author of Gross Receipts Tax Law
 Holds Court Reverses Itself.

''0'SS OSe'N ''SNS' SSS iNoSit.
 Austin, May 25.-Insurance Commis. sioner Love, author of the Love gross receipts tax law of the Twenty-ninth legislature. which act was declared un- constitutional by the United States su- preme court, has made statement in which he claims that the court has re- versed itself in declaring that law un- constitutional. He concludes his statement as follows:
 The United States supreme court has heretofore held that the construc- ton placed upon the state tax statute. as to the character of tax imposed. un- der a state constitutional was con- elusive upon it. Justice Harlan's sug- gestion in his dissenting opinion that the decision ennunciates a new doc Urine is supported by the fact that 1t is first decision of United States su- preme court in which a state statute taxing a railroad upon It's gross re- ceipts from interstate traffic has ever been held unconstitutional. though half dozen such cases have been decided by the court since 1870"

Between Three and Five Millions of Dollars Alleged to Have Been Mis- appropriated and Firm In Question One of the Most Prominent.

City of Mexico, May 25.-Financial and business circles of the City of Mex leo have been shaken by the greatest sensation in years through the order Of the judge of the second instruction to bring Martin Jacoby, a millionaire. and head of the mercantile house of Jacoby. into court on the charge of misappropriation of funds which, it Is claimed, will total between $3,OOO,- 900 and $5,000,000. The order was issued on the representation made to the court by prominent bankers and financiers.
 From the high standing of the per. sons and the amount of money involv- ed, this case is being compared in i'm. portance to that of Charles w. Morse, the multi-millionaire banker and ship. owner of New York.
 The house of Jacoby constitutes the largest cotton buying concern in the republic.
 To all practical intents it held a corner on the market It is declared that out of series of speculations and perhaps partly resulting from the October panic the house, during re- cent months, has suffered losses of millions of dollars. Although few months ago the house was known to be in serious financial straits, sensa- tional developments were entirely un. expected
