McCarn to Close.

Then will come the concluding
speech of Attorney General Jeff Nc
earn for the state, which II is con.
coded will have much to do with de-
Gliding the fate OF the accused.
"A high priced gambler, man who
plays for high stakes and never APP
plies his winnings to his honest debts;
an embeZzler of the funds of widows
and orphans committed TO his care in
public office; a man whose sole occu.
patton for years has been playing pol
tiles for all that he could get out OF
II; q man whose honor and integrity
have been attacked In the press OF
the state for years" were some of the
Characterization Fltzhugh applied to
Col Cooper.
The speaker denied Cooper's state
ment on the stand that Carmack had
used hiS name repeatedly In all OF his
political speeches.
"A search of these speeches." he de.
clared. shows only three references
made by Carmack to Col. Cooper.
why didn't the defense ask Gov.
Patterson and John d. Sharpe about
these alleged daily references? They
were two men who attended every de.
bate and were on the stand. They
were the men from whom Col. Cooper
says he got his information.

Deficit or Small Earnings.

These computations show as to the
commodities covered by the freight
rnte statute of 1907. that with two
roads. the St Louis Il Hannibal and
the Burlington, allowing nothing for
extra cost, there is deficit, and with
all other companies less than two per
cent But with the extra cost added,
the deficit for the two companies Is
much greater, and the other compa-
MES show deficit.
The passenger earnings under the
twu.cent fare law OF 1907, allowing
nothing for extra cost over interstate
business, give no return whatever to
the Rock Island St Louis q Hannibal,
Kansas City, Clinton & Springfield
and the Great Western. The other
companies will have the following
The St Louis & San Francisco, be-
tween three and four per cent; the
Santa Fe, between four and five per
cent; the Kansas City Southern, q
small fraction over two per cent; the
Missouri, Kansas G. Texas. between
two and three per cent; the Burling.
ton between three and four per cent.
All this is arrived at by allowing no
extra cost for service. But to add the
extra cost for freight and Passenger,
there are no earnings over expenses.
This is conhscation under the consti.
tuition"

State Fixes Valuation.

The valuation OF the roads has
been fixed by the court as shown by
the findings of fact. The entire state
and interstate earnings of each OF the
roads within the state is known and
fixed TO certainty. The expenses
are known and fixed. To apportion
these expenses, must be done accord.
ing to one OF the two tehories, and
the correct theory is that according
TO revenue. One theory or other must
be applied to both freight and passen.
ger expenses, and the court should
not adopt the one thory as to part.
and the other theory as to another
The one theory is helpful 10 the one
side. and the other theory helpful to
the other side. the ono theory to the
one side In freight, and the other
theory to the other side In passenger.
But an arbitrary splitting OF theories
is illogical and unfair, and can not be
recognized. The court has adopted
the revenue theory because great
number of the best railroad experts
OF the country, against very limited
number to the contrary have so testi.

FOR A S7,500,000 EOIF|CE
Many Think Appropriation OF s5,0oo,.

ture Needed--Site Not
Satisfactory.

jefferson City-No matter how
they may divide on other matters
pending before the general assem-.
bly,, there is no division among the
residents of Jefferson City on the
Joint and concurrent resolution offered
by Silver OF st. Charles county and
which provides for constitutional
amendment and the expenditure of
S5,000000 for q new capitol
Politics runs high In the capital city
and most of the voters who live here
are bitter partisans, but they agree
on any matter that has for it's object
the spending OF the money of the state
in the biggest town of Cole county
The average resident has a plan OF
his own for the Identification OF his
home city. Most of them want the
state to buy the whole block that lies
between the present capitol grounds
and the supreme court building and
erect thereon a building big and fine
enough for Missourians to be proud
OF.
Plan Meets Favor.
In this mater OF new capitol they
are Joined by nearly every member OF
the legislature. This, however, does
not necessarily mean that the Silver
matter will get TO the people. For
there are many members who have a
desire to know what the people think
of II in advance. II they believe the
proposition will be favorably acted
on at the polls there will be no doubt
of the submission OF the question.
Sum Of s7,5oo,ooo Needed.
The sum named in the Silver reso.

have given the question thought, Is
entirely too small 1t Is said that
bonds to tho extent Of $500 900 at
least should be issued for the purpose
of erecting and equipping a new cap.
itol building.
II seems to be agreed that the pres.
ent site, too, is not satisfactory. There
is a desire to get away from the
switching trains OF the Missouri Pa.
cihc and from the soft coal smoke of
half a dozen dos factories. laundries
etc. and from the states own power
plant.
The air at the state capital still vi
brates with the force of the explosive
nays uttered by those who have
been heard In opposition to the pro.
posed corporation capital stock tax OF
rs cents per thousand.
This Is one of the numerous revenue
raising measures that have been pro.
posed. The senate has had confer
erences about this particlar bill and
the outlook is that It will pass In that
body.
This bill, II enacted into law, will
add about 100000 to the states rev.
enues annually. Neither body OF the
general assembly has paid much at
tention to the ways and means legis-
latlon yet, but they are now realizing
that this is one of the features Of leg.
islatlve life that must not be over
looked.

Fort Worth, Tex, April 1.-Investi-
cation made by fruit men disclose the
fact that the Texas peach crop has
been damaged by the numerous cold
spells that nave visited Texas this
spring and during the months OF jan
uary and February.
"Taken as a whole" declared one
expert this week, who had just COM
pleted a tour of the state, 'the peach
orchards are in anything but healthy
condition. In most cases they have
not put on a normal growth Of new
wood the last years, and In others
there has been an abnormal growth.
One condition is about as bad as the
other so far as it affects the bearing
ability OF the tree.
mot healthy, in the first place, the
buds have been very susceptible to the
cold. 1t is found that where the trees
had been receiving all the needed at
tention in the past the buds did not
succumb nearly so readily to the cold.
A week or more must elapse before
the percentage of the crop can be
definitely forecasted in close figures.
Much depends on the weather expert
enced in the next ten days.
Yield Not Over One Third.
There is practically no chance OF
the yield being over one-third, and
more cold weather or unfavorable con-
ditions would reduce it still further
T. p Monfort, one Of the best posted
men in the state on the fruit condi-
tions, is authority for the statement
that the culture Of peaches in north
east Texas is undergoing a decided
change.

he says, that they will have a better
chance for good yields with smaller
orchards, which will allow of the tree;

SEED GRAIN PROBLEM
Mclean County Commissioners Have
No Easy Task in Filling APP
plications for Seed.

washburn Leader: The board OF
county commissioners are In session
considering applications for seed grain
and feed. The board finds the duties
trying and no one is envying them
the Job. So far there are nearly 400
applications on file and the amount OF
grain asked win run I'D to something
over 10000 bushels. The board has
for feed at all and where applicants
have unincum bered property 1t seems
TO be the opinion OF the board that
they are capable OF providing seed for
themselves. The policy OF the board
is to be fair and reasonables with all
the applicants. but are not disposed TO
obligate the county except in Instances
wherein 1t appears necessary. A
part Of the applications have been
gone over and number have been
rejected altogether and 1t seems that
about 10000 bushels will sbe what the
county will furnish. In handling this
matter the board is endeavoring to
be fair and conservative and any mis-
takes they may make will not be in
territorial ones.

proposition and this seed grain matter
is still rife and the feeling seems to
/ be that the county division matter

divided there Is bound to be an un-
equal distribution OF the debt incurres
by furnishing seed grain. The more
radical ones propose that the count.

proposed county OF Stevenson and le

owned orchards that the plan is being
taken up.
Orchards Cut Away.
Driving out through the country in
any direction from jacksonville, Over
ton, Alto or Mount Selman. or any of
the towns in the peach section, you
will see place after place where parts
of the orchards have been cut away.
There can be little doubt that within
the next two or three years the peach
average will show decided reduction,
yet it does not necessarily follow there
will be any reduction in the produc-
ton. With the orchards brought up
to proper size and the opportunity
thus afforded the growers to give the
trees the close care and cultivation
they should have 1t is very reasonable
to expect that the average yield will
be greater. Further, It is certain there
will be decided Improvement In the
quality of the fruit
Many there are who regard this
change as particularly fortunate. They
say it wholly eliminates the possibility
of Texas losing its Importance as a
peach producing country.
Reduction in Potatoes.
Eat almost every point in the Tyler

age shows reduction this year. Al
the beginning not so many were plant
ed and then many of the seed were
frosted in the ground. Some were re-
planted, but certain percentage was
not.
