sThe average cost Of taxing corn 10 the
station the United States over il about
seven cents hundred, while in eleven of
the southern states it 10 more than fifteen
cents hundred. These eleven states pro-
duced last year $50, 000, 900 bushels Of corn,
and II 1t had been hauled to the market,
the total freight cost would have been
over seventy-one million dollars. Now,
suppose that four-nfths Of this corn were
consumed on the farms ana that only
ITO 900 900 bushels were hauled-in that
case the cost OF hauling would have been
more than fourteen million dollars, and II
it could have been hauled % cheaply as in
other states OF the union, one half Of that
amount, or moro than seven million dol
lars, would have been the saving on the
corn haul alone.
MINIMIZE LOSS ON COTTON.
s'The loss on the cotton crop is very
much greater" continued Mr.. Page. "At
fifteen cents hundred the cost OF haul
ing 10 about eighty cents bale, and as
the average distance each load is taken is
about eleven miles, the time consumed is
ono day. The average load 10 little more
than three bales OF LOO pounds, 90 that 1t
costs about ESQ to get each load to the
market. The cotton crop Of last year was
just under 100000 bales, and to make q
long story short, we figure that the trans
portation cost Of taking 1t to the ginnery
and then to the railroad, including the
cost Of hauling the seed, was about u.s.

average, this sum would Be cut down one
half, making saving Of r. 000,0 900.
'But this is in the South. Similar con-
ditions prevail in many parts Of the North,
and altogether the loss on our hauling is
one of the biggest leaks to our whole in

gether something like 2, 10000 miles of
roads Of one kind or another. We have
enough altogether, II placed end to end, to
reach 100 times around the earth, and
leave some to spare. Much Of this length,
however, is OF character not worthy Of
the name road. Some OF it is little better
than q rock pile, and others are wide
tracks through swamps. OF the whole,
only seven miles in each hundred can be
said to have any improvements whatever,
and on thecmost Of IL the improvements
are such - be unworthy Of note.
"Altogether, not 2 per cent. can be
called first class, but we hope ere many
years to see this all changed, to the end
that the United States shall have public
roads the equal OF any on EARTH"

father:
about the time Tom was gradu-
ated from college and needed money
for his studies for profession Ella
received a legacy Of about $1,000. She
desired to give 1t to Tom for educa-
donal purposes. but feared he would
not accept 1t. She went to Shuster.
money lender. and hired him to propose
to furnish Tom with the required
means at moderate interest. and it
was through Shuster that Ella lent
Tom the money. the notes for which
on this blessed Christmas morning she

word Of this brief explanation. When

to know what to say. The silence was

ARE NOT COMING
TO PENSACOLA
soLTING MEMBERS OF THE TEN
NEsSEE LEGISLATURE HAVE
DECIDED TO REMAIN IN RIR-
MINGHAM.
BY Associates Press.

Birmingham, May 4.-The boiling
members of the Tennessee legislature
here today decided definitely not to go
to Pensacola. Two or three of the
party may go to the coast for a few
days, but the main body will remain
here until May at least.
That no proposition or plan of com
promise between the regulars and fu-
sionists Of the Tennessee legislature
had been received here or even would
be considered, was the effect of a
statement made today by Speaker
Johnsonius, of the Alabama wing of
the Tennessee legislature, fusionists.
The proposition or suggestion made by
Representative Williams of Hamilton
county, had been heard of but 1t not
only was not pleasing to the members
of the legislature in Birmingham, but
after midnight last, word had been re-
ceived that the suggestion had not
been well taken by followers Of the
regulars.
The tentative plans Of the fusion
lists here now are to leave for their re-
spective homes next Wednesday, the
idea being that no member could be
arrested and made to attend the legis-
lature after that date, even If 1t has
been decided to continue the legisla-
ture two years, IL necessary. No fur
ther daily, sessions are being held here
by the fusionists.

GRATING ON A
LARGE SCALE
EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT ALLEGED
BRIBERY IN OHIO EXTENDED
TO A LARGE NUMBER OF SEM
AToRs AND REPRESENTATIVES.
BY Associated Press.

Columbus, May 4.-That the evil
dence in the hands of the prosecutors
concerning the alleged bribery among
the Ohio legislators is Of wide scope
and extends to a large number OF
solons, became known today when the
grand jury took recess until Monday
to examine the mass of evidence be-
fore it.
1t had been stated that the activities
against the alleged bribers would be
extended only to those directly caught
in the trap Of the detectives and 1t is
known now that several legislators are
willing to give testimony discriminating
themselves in the hope of being given
immunity.
Predictions are made that Monday
indictments will be returned against
at least two legislators, a senator and
a representative.

Washington, May Mot since the
Republicans unliYnbered their guns
against the Democratic free list bill
over a week ago has the debate In the
house developed such an attack on the
measure as was made today by Rep
resentative Hill Of Connecticut, a Re-
publican member Of the ways and
means committee and one of the lead
ing Republican advocates OF the Can
adian reciprocity bill.
Hill declared the bin devised by the
Democratic leaders removing tariff
duties from many food products and
manufactured articles is so crudely
drawn and so indefinite in IT'S terms
that instead of a ten million reduction
in revenue. as the Democrats expected,
it might make a reduction of fifty mil
lion, and it's effects upon business
would be to transfer many fourishing
industries to Europe
He explained that the International
Harvester Co., large sewing machine
companies and other great manufac-
turers would be able under the bill to
manufacture parts of the machines
cheaply abroad, bringing them to this
country to be assembled by cheap labor
here.
Chairman Underwood, of the ways
and means committee, interjected that
Hills argument was from the stand
point Of an American manufactures
and that the bills purpose was to re-
duce the price Of the cost of living for
the American people.
Focht, of Pennsylvania, said the
tariff debate is costing the country ten
thousand dollars a minute and Simms
of Tennessee, retorted the expense
would be the same whether the house
was in session or not.

apolis viii admit that the proceedings
were Illegal. Nothing can be done
about it now, however. I suppose that
Mcnamara is in California by this
time, and there is no way in which he
can be brought back to Indianapolis.
1 talked with Governor Marshall, who
is a good lawyer, and do not believe
that he acted illegally. He seems to
be a fair and upright man and will see
to 1t that there is not another McNa-
mara case in his state. He explained
that extradition papers were coming
into his office every day or so, and he
signed them without reading. as the
law in Indianapolis requires that the
papers must go to a judge from the
governor, and it is the duty of the
Judge to decide on the legality Of the
proceedings"
