Important Opinion Given by
N. c. Supreme Court.
RAILROAD REGULATION HURT.
Chief Justice Holds That Require
rn,tent to Get Ticket for Mileage is
.Iiss x fs 5...5
Unreasonable and .void-Fisht
Coming in Legislature.

|
Raleigh, N. G.-The North Caro-
lima Supreme Court in Harvey VS..
Railroad, from Wilson county, prac-
tically deals knockout" blow to
the railroad mileage book =regu-
flations requiring holders to procure
mileage, tickets in exchange before
boarding train in its ruling just
made. Harvey is travelling man
and attempted at Wilson three or
| four times to procure a ticket in
exchange for mileage, being stood
aside each time by the agent in or
der that he might wait on cash pur-
chasers of tickets. Finally the train
came, without Harvey having gotten
ais ticket, He boarded the train
with mileage which the conductor
refused to accept, putting him off at
the first station. He recovered ST.
SOC, damages.
Now the Supreme Court, Associate
Justice Hoke writing the opinion,
approves the judgment holding that
Harvey had the right, under the cir
cumstances, to ride on the mileage.
The court would not set aside the
verdictas to amount of damages eX-
cessive, although Justice Brown and
(Walker,Fwhile concurring that the
plaintiff should recover, held that
1.-THE amount awarded was excessive.
Chief Justice Walter Clark in an
opinion cohcurring with Justices
Hoke and Manning in the controll-
lingsopinion of the court, holds fur
.ther that the requirement that a
holder of a mileage book shall OBJ
tain ticket to exchange is breach
of faith on the part Of the railroads
at whose instance the special .ses-
sion of THE General Assembly Of
1908 was held to raise the passen-
ger rate to 3 i-2 cents upon the
proposition of the railroad COM
panies that they would issue mile
age books at 2 cents, meaning. Chief
Justice Clark. declares. the lmileage
Ito which the public had always been
accustomed, whereby the mileage
had been pulled on the train by the
conductor. The Chief Justice also
holds that the requirement. to get
ticket for mileage is unreasonable
and void and becoming heretofore
unknown in this State and still un-
known except in this State and a
few adjacent States where the prin-
cipal North Carolina roads extend.
1t is a notable fact that in the last
General Assembly bill passed the
House by large majority prohibit
ing -1niieal5e ticket requirement
and that it failed in the Senate by
the deciding vote of the presiding
officer after a tie vote of Senators.
The indications are that the ques-
ton will be. fought all over again
during the approaching session.

TEXT OF THE MESSAGE. l' !.
President Taft's Recommendations to
the Congress of the U. S. Are
Sound and Comprehensive.

Washington.-The features Of
President Taft's message are these:
He declares it is time to stop leg5
islating with reference to regulation
of corporations and to witness the
effect Of a vigorous execution OF
the laws already on the statute
books. IS
The activities of the government,
in addition to enforcement of the
laws should be directed toward
ecenomoy of administration, the en-
largement of opportunities for for
eign trade, the building up of home
industry and, the strengthening OF
confidence of capital in domestic
investment. ..s
Mr.. Taft recommends strongly
some form of ship subsidy to in
crease American shipping, especial
ly to South America.
Mr.. Taft says he will not recon-
mend any tariff legislation until the
new Congress convenes in Decem-
Der, 1914. 10
He urges that the tariff board be
made permanent and that all future
revisions be made schedule by
schedule. He vigorously opposes
another general revision. y,
The Panama canal should by all
means be fortified. An appropria-
tion of $i9,O00,OO0 is recommended
for this purpose. =.
There must be no more pork bar
rel" methods in river and harbor
and public building bills. The latter
should be based upon the report. OF
a commission Of experts.
Recommendation for anti-injunc-
ton and Federal incorporation laws
are renewed. 3:
1t is proposed that second class
mail rates should be re-adiusted so
as to charge magazines a much
higher rate on their advertising
sections.
Strong representations are made
for the establishment of new
banking and currency system.
Two new battleships and several
auxiliary vessels are urged for the
navy.
Eeslimates, for government ex-
penditures during the next fiscal
wear have been cut 10 S630,949,Ol312,

actual appropriations for the cur
rent year. The estimated receipts
for the next fiscal year were $780,
OOO,OGO.
The President urges the extension
of the civil service.
+ There should be more officers for
the army. The engineer corps should
be increased by sixty. at
Interstate railroads should be
prevented from owning or controll-
ing ships trading through the canal.
Regarding the courts. the President
declares the crying need Of the Uni
ted States is cheapening the cost OF
litigation by simplifying judicial
procedure and expediting final judg-
ment. The Supreme Court should
be. relieved from unnecessary ap-
peals. The salaries of Federal
judges should be increased.
A parcels post on rural delivery
routes is recommended. Postmaster
General Hitchcock is given high
praise for ting the Postofflce De-
partment -. d self-sustaining basis.
The President recommends that
Congress give some fitting recogni-
ton of the Polar discoveries Of Com
mahder Robert E. Peary.
A bureau of health should be
established.
Heavier fines should be imposed
against steamship companies for
violating the immigration laws.
Immigrants are needed in the ru-
raj districts.

for retiring superannuated gov
ernment clerks.
