NEW BUILDING.
NEW ARMORY
To be Built by j. j. Black,
on Atlanta Street,
Very Soon,

The Marietta Rifles are rejoicing over
the prospects of new armory which
will combine the features of a large
drill hall, 81 by 80, and an assembly
room and library and lounging room.
In the rear is to be large room for
lockers, shower baths, quartermaster
rooms and kitchen. In the main drill
room an up-to-date gymnasium will be
installed and so arranged that all the
apparatus can be lifted from the floor
by pully attachments, leaving the floor
clear for an auditorium and dance hall.
In the rear partition wall will be ar
ranged stage for theatrical purf oses
and all entertainments requiring a
stage. There will be two entrances to
the main drill hall, one from the front
and one from the rear.
The other Office space will be occu-
pied by desirable tenants, and all space
is practically agreed upon already.
The plans are being drawn by Mr..
Archer, the government architect in
charge of the new post-office building.
On the front of the building is large
room on the third floor which will be
very likely used by the secret order
fraternities. The building is to be con-
structed of the very best material, and
large part OF the brick necessary are
already on the ground. The entire
structure will be about 140 feet long
and so feet wide, three stories high on
Atlanta street and two stories on Win
ters street.
This building will be erected in the
near future by Mr.. ]. J. Black on the
lot just beyond the new post-office, and
will greatly improve the appearance OF
Atlanta street
The Marietta Rifles expect to spend
about 81 600 equipping the gymnasium
and furnishing their rooms, and wher
completed, will be one of the best armo
ries in the State. The company hal
been in great need of something of thil
kind to add increased interest and af
ford some ple&surable features will
the work now required of them ,Worl
will begin on the building in the neal
future, and very likely will be com
pleted by July or August,

to its precedent, but supposedly
not %appealable.
An objection is raised hat the Cum
Minis plan for starting a system Of
rates assumes that the time has come
when the freight rates OF the country
can be endowed with the rigidity Of
law. In substance, that lie the old
contention that nobody knows how to
make rates except railroad officials.
That means that the interstate com
mission is useless and injurious.
Whether the position is sound or not,
the country firmly decided against It
long ago. II It is necessary that some
body adjust rates to the needs Of
business, the people would rather en-
trust the duty to impartial responsible
officials than to irresponsible railroad
managers.
AS the Cummins outline is examined
It grows in favor and promises well
as the basis of a new law.

BILE the doctrine stated by Judge Baker
in his dissenting opinion at Chicago.
Judge Baker said that II congress
cannot trust an executive body to
hear evidence and decide questions of
fact regarding the reasonableness OF
rates, the power OF congress over rates
is worthless.
Senator Cummins would give to the
interstate commission the authority to
fix rates, without appeal to the courts
except on questions involving consti-
nationality. The Cummins plan does
not in its present form provide a rule
by which the commission would be
guided In determining reasonableness.
That might be supplied, but it is not
necessary that IL be in the bill. The
question In each case would be In the

Nonpartisan Blindness.

The dissenting opinion of Judge LettOn
discloses to those who have read it that
the supreme court might have upheld the
law were II not for the fact that so many
Of them are eager for reelection 20 that
court.-Fremont Herald (dem.).
Here is another sample of blind on
partisan ~partisanshlp.
In the decision on the so-called o n
partisan judiciary act passed by the
late partisan democratic legislature
four judges held the law ~unconstitu-
tional and invalid, while two judges
held the law unconstitutional In its
vital parts, but some of its minor pro-
visions not invalid.
OF the four judges constituting a
majority Of the court two of them are
up for reelection this a and two
will have to stand for reelection two
years hence.
OF the two dissenting judges n is
up for reelection this year and n
will have to stand for reelection two
years hence.
OF the three judges up for re-elec-
ton this year the two who helped
make the majority Of the court are
running on the republican ticket and
the one that dissented is running on
the democratic ticket.
How then does the fact that the
judges are "eager for reelection en-
ter into the lineup?
Did the two dissenting judges dis
sent because they are ''eager for re-
election" and thought they would in
rease their popularity by so doing?
Isn't that conclusion Just as reason
able, or rather, unreasonable, as to
charge the majority judges with being
eager for reelection" especially when
the same blind nonpartisan demo-
cratic organs insist that their decision
is calculated not to elect them, but to
defeat them?
What entities a dissenting judge
Eager for reelection" to an exclusive
patent on nonpartisanship and high
minded disinterestedness?

MISSOURI RIVER RATE CASE.
Interest of Eastern Cities in the
Court Ruling.

interest OF Eastern Cttfes In the
Court Ruling.
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The active executive of the newly organ
lied transportation department of the new
Chamber of Commerce Of New Eng
land has sounded a note Of warning
as to the immediate effect OF the circuit
court decision upon the cities of the Allan
tie seaboard II general and upon Boston in
particular. ThNt-effect, in brief, is to con-
tlnue in operation a through freight rate,
or combination Of rates, which puts the
manufacturers and business men of these
cities at a distinct disadvantage in com
peting for trade in. the Missouri river
cities. To quote the concrete case used by
Mr.. Ives to arouse the people of his own
section to the serious handicap placed upon
their enterprises by the existing rates, a
st. Louis jobber can buy goods from n
Maine manufacturer and sell them in
Omaha cheaper than could be done by a
Boston dealer, for the reason that the
Boston dealer would rave to pay the full
local rate from the Maine point Of man
ufacture plus the through rate from Maine
to Omaha whereas the st. Louis Jobber
has only to pay a through rate from
Maine to Omaha that is lower than the
Maine-Boston-omah combination.
Whatever may have been the larger pur-
pose OF the railroads in thus creating
arbitrary distribution areas, by their adj
justment of rates, the effect Is the exer-
else of a general power Of life and death
over every trade and manufacturing center
in the United States" This control over the
commerce of the country is a gradual
development, but is none the less a colos-
sal power which will have to be brought
under some sort of reasonable regulation. If
the courts decide that the Interstate Com
merce Commission has not been vested
with regulatlve control, some new means
will have to be sought to accomplish the
intent of congress-.

Bonds and Interest.

None Of the great financial minds
has clearly explained why 1t is given
out that the government cannot bor-
row money at less than 8 per cent,
though its bonds yielding 2 per cent
sold 1t a premium in times less pro-
pitious than the present, A year ago
3O,OO0,OO of 2 per cent bonds were
sold at a premium and nobody ex-
pressed surprise.

a doubt about the feasibility OF in

will not accept a return 50 sAl~...
Among the financial papers in New
York 1t is directly said that the banks
are combined In IN understanding to
reduce the interest rate on deposits

banks would like to keep down, for
some reasons, the government interest

combine rather far.

migrants who have come into the
country during the last twenty years
are almost enough 10 execute Presl-
dent Taft's idea. A newly arrived
foreigner will not deposit money
usually unless with the government,
from which he will gladly take a low
interest. or even none.
The rate Of interest at a time OF
abundant enterprise and good national
credit needs attention.
