Offset by discord on state problem-what
to say about local option. the Republicans
having declared strongly in it's favor.
Under the new direct primary law no
convention to nominate state officers will
be held and today's convention must
frame a platform for Washington's de-
mocracy. Three plans are advanced by
the warning factions. Chairman Turner
favors a straight declaration opposition
to sumptuary laws and declaring for
personal liberty. -
ON the opposite side delegates from
eight counties are bound sQuarely to local
option by their county platforms. Be
tween these are the advocates of various
compromises. Prominent among these is
a plan to adopt a strong initiative and ref
erendum plank. that issue having been ig-
nored by the Republicans and use this as
a substitute for local option declaration.

TEXAS LOSES TAX CASE
Cannot Levy on Gross Earnings of
Her Railways.

Washington, May 1S.-In deciding
the case of the Galveston & San
Antonio Railway company versus the
state of Texas, involving taxes on that
and other Texas roads, the supreme
court of the United States today held
to be unconstitutional the Texas law
of 1905, fixing the tax rate on rail-
WAYS equal to one per cent on their
gross earnings when they lie wholly
within the state and a proportionate
sum when they lie partly within the
state.
The opinion was delivered by Justice
Holmes who held that the law is an
effort to regulate interstate commerce
and that therefore the tax could not be
collected. The chief justice and Jus
tices Harlan, White and McKenna uni
ted in a dissenting opinion which was
delivered by Justice Harlan. Justice
Harlan expressed the opinion that the
decision strikes a very serious blow
at the taxing law of the state.
