CALLS CONGRESS
BEST SINCE WAR
Taft Speaks Before Commercial Sooy
at AtIanta-Says Reciprocity
Will Win.

Atlanta. Cain q notable address
before the Southern Commercial con-
gress in this city President William
H. Taft pleaded with the young men
of the south to take up the poItlcaI
issues of the day from broad anu
liberal standpoint, but cautioned them
that all sectionalism and narrow par
tisanship should be eliminated.
Come fully into our national COM
munion," said the president, with the
patriotic purpose Of stimulating the
progress of our civilization in every
right direction, maintaining our coun-
try's prosperity and accommodating It's
wealth, but always in subordinatlon
to higher ethical standards and TO
the promotion of righteousness and
justice"
The president reviewed briefly the
accomplishments of the Sixty-hrst
congress. declaring that in its three
sessions just closed 1t had enacted
more helpful legislation than any con-
gress since the Civil war.
Mr.. Taft asserted that the greatest
accomplishment of the short session,
ended March 4, was the ratification
of the Japanese treaty. The greatest
disappointment, he said, was the fall
ure Of congress to ratify the reciproc-
ity agreement with Canada. In this
connection he referred to his action
in calling an extra session of con-
gress to convene on April 4.
In the hope, perhaps, that tariff leg
islation may be avoided at the extra
session, the president pledged him
self to furnish to the Democratic
house at its regular meeting in De-
cember next report from the tariff
commission on schedule X Of the
Payne-Aldrich act-of the wool and
woolens schedule.
Among the other speakers were
John Hays Hammond, Bernard N.
Baker, Baltimore; Surgeon General
Walter Wyman, Gov. Woodrow Will
son of New Jersey. and Secretary Of
War Dickinson.

IN FRANCHISE CASE.

Accepting State Permit

Madison.-That public utilities,
yban thev accept an indeterminate
franchise from the state railway com
mission, are absolved from all iocal
revenue impositions, is the substance
of an important decision hahueo
down bv the Wisconsin supreme
court. ..
The decision upholds the Judg-
ment of the circuit court IN the SUIT
of the city of La Crosse against the
La Crosse & Electric company Tor
collection of tax provided under the
city franchise, and will effect great
many cities now drawing revenue
from their public service corpora
tions.
The La Crosse company obtained a
franchise from the city in 1901,
authorizing it to furnish heat, light
and power to the city for twenty
five years, provided it paid per
cent of it's gross earnings into the
city treasury annually.
The company paid the tax until
1908 when it surrendered its fran
chise and received an indeterminate
permit under state law. 1t then de-
clined to pay the tax any longer and
the city sued.
The company defended on the
grounds that the conditions Of the
city ordinance has been wiped out
when it received it's indeterminate
permit under the utilities law.

Famous Funicular Railway Is Badly
DAMAGED

Naples, Italy.-Mount Vesuvius is
again active. Monday night a severe
earth shock, accompanied by terrific
detonations, occurred
Investigations showed that a great
landslide had dropped from the upper
part Of the crater. It is estimated that
1t measured 1000 by $50 feet, and
when it fell it caused enormous clouds
of smoke.
The Funicular railway was badly
damaged. A party of tourists were
about to ascend by the railway when
the shock occurred
The Funicular railway has been en-
tirely put out of commission by previ-
GUS eruptions, but SO profitable has
che tourist travel been that the road
has always been rebuilt.
The road runs over lava beds its en-
tire length, but was regarded as safe
until this new eruption.
