Carlsbad, y. NJ, March 1.-THE
spirit Of progress is abroad in the
land. The Carlsbad project is set
Ting up rapidly with progressive
farmers. and the lands are being de-
yeloped. Carlsbad is feeling the ef-
feet of this development, and is be
ginning to advance. Heretofore vii
lage methods and ideas have prevail
ed as to permanent improvements OF
the town, but the sentiment is chang
ing. An election has been called by
the council to vote on bonds for the
construction of a sewer system. The
matter was up year or 50 ago and
met with defeat. The fact that the
sewer bonds were defeated was a bad
advertisement and the people have
concluded that IL is time to vote on
bonds and have this sewer system
built at the earliest time posi- Bile. The
building OF $4,000 high school, a
new telephone exchange, etc, are
straws that indicate that Carlsbad has
entered on a new era Of development.

four horse rebate team can be driven
through the EIlkins law as it stands
now. after the decision Of the United
States court of appeals and that Of
Judge Anderson in the Standard Oil
case in Chicago. An attorney who
could not protect his client from the
charge of rebating if those decisions
are sustained, would not be worthy Of
his hire"
This was the opinion expressed to-
day by an important law officer of
the government in the course of a
discussion of the Standard Oil COM
pany's cases now pending in various
parts of the country He pointed out
that Judge Lands held it was the
duty of the shipper TO make reason
able inquiry whether the rate he was
using was lawful or not. Judges
Grosscup, seaman and Baker of the
United States court OF appeals, re-
versed that statement of law and
held substantially that the govern
ment had to prove that the shipper
knew he was getting an illegal rate.
II is the opinion of the government
officers that rarely, if ever, this could
be done. In this view Of the situation
the Elkins law is practically nil.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, March 11.-Both

Santa Fe, n. NJ, March 1.-The
general appropriation bill which was
introduced in the House late yester-
day afternoon by Representative Tip
ton, chairman of the House finance
committee, shows the effort of the
committee to keep the appropriations
within bounds and to practice econ
omy wherever possible to do so with
out impairing the work of the terri
torial officers and institutions. The
bill carried total appropriation OF
$5S0,00o, as against $475,000 appro-
priated for the past two fiscal years,
and this increase is regarded as sat
isfactory in view of the progress the
territory ha made during the two
years and the necessity for greater
expenditures to continue that pro-
gress.
1t is probable that with the in
creased assessment the territorial tax
rate can be reduced slightly and the
finance committees of both houses
propose to keep the appropriations
down as low as possible in order that
the present rate will not be increas-
ed. Strenuous demands are being
made on the committees but it IS
safe To say that no appropriation will
