TAFT STRONGLY FAVORS
REDUCTION NECESSITIES

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-President
Taft talked tariff today with Senator
Hale. of the senate finance committee;
with Representative Dalzell. of Pennsyl-
vania; with Representative Hinshaw, Of
Nebraska, and with John Barrett, direc-
tor OF the Bureau of American Republics.
II is said the president is letting il be
understood that he strongly favors a re-
duction on all of the necessities Of life.
The Payne bill repeatedly has been at
tackled in the house debate as imposing
too heavy burden on the poor and as
favorinng the richer classes.
The impression that has been created
by so much of this talk ha sheen any
thing but gratifying TO the administra-
ton. IL is declared, and matters have not
been greatly improved by the criticism
that so much consideration appears to
be in prospect for the special interests
and not enough for the consuming public
The president has no information I'm sup
port OF such a charge.
President Taft is known TO be strongly
opposed TO the proposed tax on tea. 1t is
stated that this tax would yield about
$, 600 annually. The president believes
this amount could be made up by an ex-
else tax on the dividends of corporations
or by some method OF stamp taxation.
The president also is sal TO believe that
the ways and means committee OF the
house will not insist upon the counter
vailing duty proposed on coffee. II was
on this subject that the president talked
with Director Barrett today.

In this connection Governor. Sanders, of
Louisiana, upon whose invitation the
conference. is being held declared that

The question of enforcing child labor

the discussions of the conference. The
assertion is being made that in many

l.. AND N. SEEKS TO
ENJOIN THE STATE

The attorneys for the Louisville and
Nashville railroad on Wednesday morning
filed a bill of complaint against Comp
troller General Wright, representing the
state of Georgia, in the now famous sult
of the railroad company against the
state, in which the Louisville and Nash
Vile railroad company not only asks for
an Injunction as regards the payment OF
the taxes for the years 1907 1908, but for
a perpetual Injunction with reference 10
the payment of said taxes.
With the bill of complaint was filed
an order, signed by Judge Newman,
summoning Comptroller Wright and the
representatives OF the state to appear be-
fore the United States court on April "A
to show reason why the injunctions ask
ed for should not be granted. The
amount of taxes involved in the case
total something more than 5000, which
is levied ON property valued at SEQ, 900.

the Louisville and Nashville raway.
The bill of complaint rehearses the orig
ina leasing of the terminal property by
the Georgia Railroad and Banking COM
pany to William NJ. Wadley, its suitcase
to the Louisville and Nashville railway
and the Atlantic Coast Line. The bill
states and re-states the claim that the
property at this time is still held by lease
by the Louisville and Nashville railway
under lease, the property itself belong
ing to the Georgia Railway and Banking
company.
Under these conditions the railroad
company claims not to be liable for the
taxes of the property, and il asks that
the fl fas for taxes for the years 1907 and
1908 be quashed and that the state be
perpetually enjOined from levying taxes
upon the property. Judge Newman sign
ed the order, naming the hearing of the
case for April "A. The bill of complaint
was filed by Attorneys Tye, Peoples,
Bryan and Jordan, and Chief Counsel
Henry L. Stone, for the Louisville and

This move on the part of the attorneys
for the railroad was taken after Comp
troller General Wright has issued fl fas
against the company for the collection
of the taxes, when the company refused
to pay the taxes. The order of course
