MANY ALREADY ENTER

On account of lack of space this
issue we are unable to give more
space to the A. Y. P. contest the
Free Press is giving. Suffice to
say the popularity of this move is
far beyond our expectancy and en-.
tries are coming in rapidly. Next
week we will publish the names OF
those en- tered.
The Free Press is sure there are
a number OF young ladies in the
county who would like to go on the
free outing trip to the Exposition,
and they should file their names
now as contestant, for the con-

test is only two weeks old, and new
candidates stand as good show OF
being winners as some of the ones
who have entered. The whole
matter of getting votes lays with
the contestants. The Free Press
offers them a chance of a lifetime
and no young lady in the county
who wants to attend the Exposition
should pass this offer up when she
can avail herself Of this opportun-
ity by slight exertion on her part.
. Come or write this office for de-
tails and act quick. Remember,
next week the names of those en-
tered will be published.

previous to the regular meetings is
held a meeting for Personal Work

CTS.
Next Sunday afternoon at three
O'Clock there will be a NEE ting for
men only in the Armory. This
meeting will be somewhat on the
order of the Billy Sunday mems
meetings.
There is not the excitement in
these meetings that characterize
some revival meetings, but the in
terest is intense and is growing and
developing right along. The
strongest feature Of this meeting is
the amount OF personal work that
is being carried on.
There have been conversions
every evening OF from fifteen to
twenty-seven, and the outlook is
splendid for glorious revival.
The meetings will close next
week on Sunday evening, February
2Sth.
The high school entertainment
has been postponed SO as not to
conflict with the meetings.
The ministers and committees
are all very grateful to the people
for their cooperation and support
in these meetings, and we believe
that this support is gradually in.
creasing.
The music under the able direc.
tion of Rev. Arbuckles with large
chorus choir is an interesting
feature of the meetings.

MISSOURI LOW RATES KNOCKED
OUT BY FEDERAL COURT
AT KANSAS CITY.
JUDGE MCPHERSON DECIDES
Passenger and Freight Statutes De.
clared MISUNDERSTANDING
OF Roads Are Little or
Nothing.

Kansas City, Mo--A notable de.
cision in favor Of the railroads
was handed down today by Judge Nc
Phcrson Of the United States district
court In the two.cent fare and maxi.
mum freight rate cases, involving is
Missouri lines. The railroads contend.
ed that the rates fixed by the statutes
OF the state were not remunerative
but contiscatory and that the enforce.
ment of the statutes be enjoined The
state brought proceedings to have them
enforced.
The question" said Judge McPher.
son In his decision, rs whether the
traffic wholly within the state of Mis-
sOuri. generally referred to in the cyi.
dence as local traffic. can be carried
under the freight rate statute of 1907
and the passenger fare statute Of 1907
at such profit as will give q reasonable
return after paying expenses upon the
investment or whether such traffic Is
carried at loss or less than such
reasonable profit. The court
has reached the conclusion that upon
this question the statutory rates fixed
by either and both statutes are not
remuneratiye.

Bill Changes Cost Plan.

Jefferson City-Representative Kies
of Cape Girardeau county intro
duced bill In the house which, II
passed, will deny the right Of counties
TO call on the state to pay costs in
criminal cases and will stop the state
tax on dramshop licenses. The latter
provision is said to be intended to
Offset the county unit bill, already
gone to engrossment In the house.
which permits counties to vote as a
whole upon anti'liquor propositions.
The Kies bill is certain TO provoke
spirited discussion when 1t comes up.
1t will revolutionize the present sys-
tenn, by which the state bears practi.
cally all the expenses of criminal
cases in the county. placing the bur
den upon the counties. 1t reads, In
part:
"All taxes levied on dramshop H.
censes shall be levied only for county,
city or town purposes, and no tax for
state purposes shall be levied or col
lected on such license. Such dram
shop license shall not be less THAI
$3.50 nor more than $3.50 for county
purposes for every period of six
months. and In addition thereto the
proper authorities OF Incorporated
towns or cities may impose an add
tional license tax, by ordinance, for

In giving the reasons for such con
clusiOn the decision says: Most lay
men and many lawyers believe that
the question is whether the railway
company as system is earning sufi.
Client revenue upon the value Of the
property OF the system. They believe
that II the Burlington, Santa Fe, Wa.
bash, or any other railroad system, Is
earning such money as will pay all
charges and expenses, including taxes
and interest, with reasonable divi.
dends to the stockholders. state rates
for state business must stand,
or course no one believes this who
has given the slightest attention to
the question. That precise question
was before, and was decided by, JUS
tice Brewer, and affirmed by the su-
preme court in the Nebraska case Of
Smyth VS.. Ames. The only question
Is as to Missouri rates, less expenses
properly charged against the same.
And II this balance does not leave suf.
fcient to pay a reasonable return, the
law is invalid And II the railroad
system Of any company is earning
more than n reasonable return by
reason OF interstates rates, which af'
feet the people man times more than
local rates. and II such interstate
rates are too high, congress acting
alone or through a commission must
mako tho correctins.

Six Per Cent Not Too Much.

1.-THE supreme court during the pres.
ent year in the case of City Of New
York VS.. Consolidated Gas Company
of New York decided that six per cent
was fair and right to be given to the
owners upon the true valuation, My
opinion is that while gas plant is in
some respects different from n rail.
road, railroad property, properly
built and properly managed, should
over and above expenses make re-
turn OF six per cent per annum. And
considering all the evidence, the oyi.
dence fairly shows that all Of these
roads were properly and economically
built and are being properly and eco.
nomically managed. ard that after
paying the expenses for maintenance
and operation. there Is less than six
per cent OF returns. and not mere than
three per cent upon any Of them, and
ms to some of them q deficit. taking
the property as above stated within
the state Of Missouri at its fair valua'
ton.
And this Is 80 without reference to
bonds, because In no case do the bonds
bear six per cent interest But taking
the bonds into consideration, there Is
still not to exceed three per cent re-
turns, and many cases q deficit after
considering all debts and credits, upon
the true valuation for the state bust
ness. There is no evidence that any
of the existing bonds were improperly
issued either as TO amounts or rates
