The Morris hotel lobby had the appear ance of the old familiar campaign days yesterday. Governor-elect Emmet O'Neal was the center of attraction.
 He spent the day. in Birmingham and received many of his supporters and leaders of the democratic party during the day. Plans for the coming campaign were gone over, carefully and all seemed to be well pleased with the prospects.
 Of course there is no shadow Of fear for the partys success, but every man wants the party to make as fine showing as possible and !, MT. O'Neal Is particu- larly anxious for show of party una nimity.
 MT. O'Neal declined at the present time to discuss any of the main issues before the people. He will probably do so when the proper time comes and the campaign is opened.

TEXAS IS FIFTH.
Population Increased 27.S Per Cent in
Past Decade.

Washington, Dec. S.-The popula-
ton of Texas is 3,S96542, according
to statistics of the thirteenth census,
issued by the census bureau. This is
an increase Of 847,S32. or Pts per
cent, over 3,048,710 in 1900. The in
crease from 1890 to 1900 was 813,1S7,
or 1914 per cent.
Texas, the largest state in the union
in point of area, made greater. progress
in its increase of population during the
last ten years than any of the states
which exceed it in the number of in
habitants and now takes rank as fifth
state in population, passing Missouri,
which, is in 1900, held that place.
Census statistics show that only New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio
surpass Texas in population, while Mis-
souri, drops back to seventh place, hav-
ing been passed by Massachusetts, in
the last ten years.
Texas increase would give her four
new Representatives in congress if the
present ratio of apportionment is re-
tanned when congress enacts the new
apportionment law.
| Only 80 of the 245 Texas counties
showed decreases, and these were
slight.

rwo-CENr FARE LAW TEST.
Illinois and Iowa Roads Prepare for
Concerted Attack.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. s.-Plans on the
part of leading railroads for a con-
certed attack upon the validity of the
2-cent fare law, both in Illinois and
Iowa, are nearing completion, and an
announcement relative to the line of
assault is expected within a short
time. Statistical experts have been
at work for some time gathering data
relative to railroad earnings and the
return on invested capital. 1t is un-
derstood that the broad ground to be
taken is that the 2-cent rate is con-
fscatory. It is said that the Illinois
Central railroad has gone 50 far as
TO undertake a physical valuation of
its property in order to obtain needed
figures.
"a committee was appointed some
time ago to consider this matter SO far
as lines operating in Illinois are con-
cerned,'' said B. L. .Winchell, presi-
dent of the Fro and Eastern Illi-
nois lines today. Progress has been
made in our preliminary work, but it
is too early as yet to make any pre-
dictions. The matter will be taken UP
in the ordinary course of business as
the time arrives for definite action"
The railroads, it is understood, re-
ceived much encouragement from the
successful attacks on 2-cent fare laws
in Missouri and Arkansas, and are
sanguine that similar results can be
accomplished in Illinois and Iowa.

DOG TAX AND BANKTAX
Declared to Be Analogous in Argu-
ment Before Supreme Court.

Washington, Dec. S.-F'rom the an
alogy of the tax on dogs to reimburse
farmers for sheep killed by CANNES, the
tax on banks to reimburse depositorS
in arguments before the supreme court
of the United States.
The constitutionality of a tax to ere
ate a fund to guarantee deposits in
banks arose in the attack on the Okla
homa bank guaranty law passed IN
December, 1907. This case was reached
in it's regular place on the docket of
the supreme court.
Two other cases. in one of which the
Nebra ska bank guaranty law had been
been held unconstitutional by lower
federal courts, and in the other, the
Kansas bank guaranty law had beer
held valid, had been advanced for hear
ing with the Oklahoma case.
1t was c. B. Ames, of Oklahoma,
who first called the attention of the
court to the dog cases. He said the
attorney general of Oklahoma referred
power sought to be exercised by the
state
Mr.. Anes said that the only dog case
that he knew about, which passed on
the use to which the money was put,
was a New York case. In that case, he
said, it had been held that the use of
the dog tax money by the Humane So
c. sty was for a private fund and
! therefore, improper. Mr.. Ames con-
| tended that the Oklahoma law sought
to levy such a tax on banks as amount
red to the taking of private property
| for private use.
Mr.. Ames also argued that banking
not including the issue of notes as legal
tender. was not a fra nchise, and hence
the banks which did not issue legal
| tender paper could not be subjected tc
franchise tax, as the bank guaranty
law might be called.

A NEW SOUTH COAST LINE.
Western Pacific Maps Out Route in
Southern California.

San Francisco. Dec. S.-With the ad-
mission made at the general offices of
the Western Pacific railroad that the
surveyors who have been secretly
mapping out a route from Oakland
through Santa Clara county into the
San Joaquin valley were Western Pa
cific surveyors, it at last has become
known that the long promised West
ern Pacific extension into Southern
California is in course of realization.
The plans are said to have been
passed upon by Charles H. Schlachs,
first vice president, and c. M. Levey,
vice president and general manager of
the Western Pacific.
In entering San Jose the Western
Pacific will pass through Irvington,
Warm Springs and Milpitas having
the San Jose terminal in East San
Jose, where it is said tract of 80
acres has been secured, a mile from
the heart of the business district of
San Jose.

thoroughly in these columns. says the

one ton of steel rails for each SO,OOO
fon-miles of freight traffic over its road.
We had already developed the fact
that the wear of rails could best be
studied by reference to ton-iniIeaee OF
freight, and cited the fact that the
Pennsylvania systems. statistics Tor
the five calendar years 1904-8 inclusive
had shown an average of one ton OF
rails used for replacement purposes 10
1850 ton-miles of freight traffic
The total ton-mileage of steam roads
of the country was 2S3.1SS millions IN
1907, 215.699 millions in 1908 and 227 ,19s
millions in 1909. While the factor we
have quoted, 225,000, may be consider
ably in error, it is interesting to note
that its application would indicate the
wearing out of a million tons of rails
q year on the steam roads. We sum
