1t is cited at this time that in pro-

FOR UNIFORM LEGISLATION
Definite recommendation Made b,
Washington Conference.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Definite rec
concentrations for uniform legislation
In the states for the conservation Of
natural resources occupied the atten-
tion of the conference called by the
National Civic Federation.
The programme includes the pas
sage of uniform state laws regulating
insurance. the acquisition OF water for
power and the removal of taxes from
growing timber. The timber resolu-
tions are fathered by the National
Lumber Manufacturers association
and endorsed by Pinchot. ~
They call for taxation of timber
only when 1t Is cut and no tax on
timber lands. To tax growing timber,
they urge, is to place premium on
the speedy denudation Of the land be-
cause of the tax burden.
Uniform tax for lands now under
state control are urged also.
The committee also endorsed the
universal divorce law endorsed by the
national divorce committee.

COURT UPHOLDS
THE. TAFT VIEW
Comment on Kansas Corpo-
ration Law Decision.


Supreme Court of the United States,
in the Case of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, Holds That a
State Cannot Tax Outside Property
Of Corporation Engaged in Legal
Interstate Business.
Washington, Jan. 19.-"T deem the
decision one of very great Importance
in sustaining the legislation recon-
mended by the president regulating
railroads" said Frank B. Kellogg of
st. Paul In commenting upon the de-
cision of the United States supreme
court In the case of the Western I'm
ion Telegraph company against the
state of Kansas. Mr.. Kellogg argued
the case in question before the courts.
The administration is elated over
the decision of the court, as 1t laid
down rule which the president be-
lieves will be of great aid to the ad-
ministration in sustaining its general
legislation, especially the regulation
of interstate carriers.
The court held that where a cor
poration Is legally in state engaged
In interstate and domestic commerce
the state cannot place a tax on all
its corporate stock representing it's
property beyond the state and its in
terstate commerce as condition of
it's continuing to do domestic bust
ness.
The court held that a state might
tax all the property situated in the
state, or 1t might tax proportion Of
its capital stock representing that
property, but that 1t could not tax
property situated beyond the state,
nor could it impose these taxes as a
condition of granting the corporation
the privilege to do a local business.
The decision, while protecting the
states In all OF their rights of taxing
property engaged in commerce in the
states, whether domestic or interstate,
limits the power of the state to inter-
fere with corporations engaged in in
terstate commerce.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 19.-The great
ice gorge in the Ohio river broke at
several places between Louisville and
Wolf Creek, the southernmost point of
the gorge.
The break seemed to be the result
of a general softening of the ice at all
points, but rivermen say it is too soon
to tell whether the great field, nearly
seventy miles in length, will move out
entirely or merely take up a new posi-.
tion further south.
When the acres of jagged ice began
rolling, tumbling and surging down
stream score of shanty boats, which
had been dragged from the stream for
safety near Kosmosdale, KY, were
caught in the rapidly rising mass and
carried away. Landslides are report.
