Congressman Harrison
Says it Should Give
Them Ballot.
MAKES BURDEN HEAVY
Indicates That Country Is Rap
idly Approaching State of
Bankruptcy.

Washington, March 27.-Declaring
there would be no dissension in the
democratic ranks of the house with
regard to the tariff and that the Fitz-
gerald amendment to the rules made
it possible for the minority to express
it's views upon amendments to the
bill by a record vote, Representative
Harrison of New York today discuss
ed various features of the Payne meas
ure
MANY schedules of the Payne bill
offer ground for rejoicing among our
partisans," he said.
Heaviest Upon Women.
Under republican management, said
Harrison, the nation was fast ap-
preaching bankruptcy. This bill con-
tains heavy taxes upon the women of
America he continued. I'm many re-
spects they seem TO have been singled
out fQy attack. New taxes upon tea
and coffee, upon women's gloves, and
cotton stockings are direct provoca-
tion to woman's suffrage.
IF this tariff does not bring about
the franchise of women, their cause
is hopeless. But the most serious as
pect of the situation is that these du-
ties are chiefly specific, and fall more
heavily upon the poor than upon the
rich"
start Sessions Earlier.
Washington, March 27.-In order to
expedite Discussion of the tariff bill in
the house, unanimous consent was to-
day given that the sessions hereafter
shall begin at 10 instead of at IL
O'clock Without any intimation hav-
ing been given as to when general de-
bate on the measure shall cease, the
bill was laid before the house. Harri
son of New York, the new democratic
member of the committee on ways and
means, at once took the floor.
Longworth In Debate.
Washington, March 27.-Declarine
that the Payne bill is a practical full
fillment of the pledge made eight
months ago to the American people by
the republican party, Representative
Longworth of Ohio spoke today in de
fense of its various provisions. He
reviewed the campaign promises O
the democratic party, and said the mi
nority members of the ways and mean:
committee had just as much oppor
tunity to prepare the bill as the ma
jority.
Admit Ii Is Not Perfect.
LOngworth declared the republican
members of the committee do no
claim the Payne bill is in all respect
perfect.
I'VE differed ourselves about man,
OF the schedules" he said. mo on
of us believes that there is everything
in it which ought to be in it, an,
nothing in it which ought not to be.
As President Wants 1t.
1--WE do claim for it, however. tha
it represents a bona fide revision O
the tariff from top to bottom. w
claim for it it is practically a liters
compliance with the pledge of the II
publican platform and with the re
peated declarations of the leader G
our party, the president of the Unite
States."

TAX ARGUMENTS
ARE CONCLUDED
Long Standing Dispute Is
Now I'm the Hands of
Court.

Arguments in the appeal cases of
the Camden Interstate Railway COM
pany vs. the board Of public works
before Circuit Judges Doolittle and
Wilkinson were completed yesterday
evening. Col. Il. T. Vinson open
ed for the appellants, speaking for
two hours. George J. McComas,
for the board of public works, spoke
for an hour and half and Vinson
consumed an hour in his conclusion.
The case will not be decided f.
nally for some time. Judge Doo-
little stated this morning that he
and Judge Wilkinson would consid-
er the cases at length before making
up their formal opinion, which is
10 be handed down jointly.
The cases, which have finally
been brought to a point where they
can be ruled upon by the judges,
have been hanging fire for many
months. They are in the nature of
an appeal to the courts from the tax
assessment valuations placed on the
properties of the Camden Inter
state Railway company, now the
Ohio Valley Electric Railway COM
pany, for the years 1907 and 1908.
The railway people ask substantial
reduction, claiming their property
to have been assessed at a figure
much higher than the true and act
ual value. The state contended in
fighting the appeal that the proper
tx4p~s~assessed at it's physical val
ne, and in addition, at an intangible
value decided upon by summing
up of the foad's business from a re.
port which is filed with the secre-
tary of the board under the direc-
tIon Of the statutes.
It's to this intangible value that
the railroad men object, claiming
that the sum fixed upon was not
justified by actual conditions.

CONsTITUTI0NALITY
OF the Johnson Pistol Law
Will Be Tested BY
Courts.

Now some one claims the John.
son pistol law is unconstitutional
and it's constitutionality is to be
tested in the courts. The test case
originated in Wellsburg and the
hearing will be had next Wednes.
day. In the case of j. w. Wild,
the Cleveland detective, arrested in
Follansbee several months ago
and indicted at the session
OF the grand jury in Brooke county
for carrying concealed weapons,
thus action was brought. The case
was placed on trial before Judge
Nesbitt at Wellsburg and the de-
tective is represented by @. w.
McCleary, who contends the law is
unconstitutional both In the state
and federal government. The state
Is represented by Prosecuting At
torney r. l.. Ramsey. Attorney
McCleary states that should the
court render an adverse decision in
the case it will be carried to the
supreme court of the country for
decision.
Should the defendant win in this
case 1t would naturally make the
pistol-toting law void throughout
the state and as a result all who
wanted to would again be CARRYING
the weapons and the officers and
officials would have to pay no
license. The action taken in the
case and the result is awaited ear.
ues,ly by local people.
For the good of the people of
the entire state it is hoped that the
law will be declared constitutional.
