800 YARD LAW
COsTITUTlONANL

A session of the Justice Court
was held this afternoon at the
home of Justice Lobenstein, when
he gave a decision in the case
against A. Segale, motion having
been made by the attorneys for the
defense TO quash the complaint on
the grounds that the action cover
ing the location of house of ill.
fame under the shool law as uncon-
stltntional, not having been
mentioned in the title of the act.
The Justice said that he ad given
the matter much thought and de-
clded that the act was constitu-
tional, and denied the motion ito
dismiss the case. The defense
then submitted demurrer, which
was Gverruled and a plea of not
guilty was entered for the defend
ant on the charge of maintaining a
house of ili-fame within the limits
prescribed by the law. The case
was then set for trial for next
Tuesday, May l6, at 10 o'clock,
and the constable was ordered to
summon Venire of fifty jurymen
to appear at that time in the

THE TAKING POWER

Of all the forms of cruelty in
the world there is none more
terrible than the taxing power.
When unjustly used it can pro-
duce as much suffering and death
as a raid by barbarienl. Italy taxes
salt to such an extent that table
salt costs nearly 10 cents a pound.
The poor people suffer for salt and
they are not allowed to 90 to the
sea, dip up the water ard
evaporate it to obtain it. 1t is a
government monopoly.
While disease and suffering
among the poorest is caused for
the want of salt. there was
shipped last year to other countries
and sold at $1.25 per metric ton
103, 1896 TINS of it.
That is one example of what
the taxing power can do. Bot
Italy is not much worse than the
United States. The taxing power
has 30 inceased the cost Of living
that tens of tbousnds suffer from
the want of sufficient food end
clothing and the charity hospitals
are filed with those who would
never have been there If they had
been comfortably clothed, fed and
housed. To relieve in some degr ee
that suffering the democrats
propose to revise the tariff
and reduce the cost of living. 1t is
a sort of holy crusade for the
benefit Of humanity.-St. Joseph

ARGUING THE BLNK|NGLlWl

Another chapter is being added
to the bank cases today. The
question of the constitionality of
the amended Act is being argued
before the Supreme Court.
Mack & Green, representing Re-
ceiVer Widles put in the morning
session arguing on points relative
to the amendments offered by the
legislature last winter. 1t is con-
tended that the amendments to the
law is unconstitutional as it de-
priVes the courts from jurisdiction
in the matter of appointment of
receiverships.
1t will be remembered the
amendment to the law abolishes
receivers as appointed and names
the State Bank Examiner as the
receiver of all defunct banks or
other financial institutions. Re-
ceiver Wildes. of the State Bank
Company, through his attorneys, is
fighting the new law.
Should the court decide the law
constitutional it means that Eugene
Howell takes up the work of the
receivership without salary from
the bank, he being paid by the
state in his official capacity. This
is the matter in a nut shell.
Attorney General Baker and
assistant James Judge, are repre-.
senting Mr.. Howell or the state in
the matter They take the stand
that it is the creative power of
the legislature to amend laws that
were originally in their making.
That the new law is in every sense
sound and constitute, nal as il
names a specific duty of the State
Receiver.
The matter is being tried out as
a matter of law and no sentiment
is figured. 1t is simply a test of
the constitutional power of the
Legislature in amending Acts or
creating them.
AS the continuance If the suits
against The directors of the State
Bank is involved in this procet ding
it is one of the most important
cases that has been before the
court in maLy years. Should the
Supreme Court hold the law solid
it will be in the power of Mr..
Howell as Examiner to continue
the suits or dismiss them. He will
be able to use his judgement in all
hire and expense of the upkeep of
the present defunct banks through.
out the state, and settle in many
ways minor cases that are now be-
fore the courts.
AS there is plenty of material on
both sides Of the question to keep
the court guessing for some time
it is not likelv that decision can
be expected inside of a month.
The decision of the Supreme Court
will settle the matter and also
define the power of Mr.. Howell as
State Receiver. K Carson Appeal.

DISTRICT COURT

District court convened at 10
O'Clock this morning with Judge
John S. Orr of Reno on the bench.
This beisE the time set for hear
ing the motions to set aside the
indictments against A. Primeaux,
Rov Primeaux and William Dye,
charged with arson, and Sam
Bachmsn, indicted for grand
larceny, the court took up the Dye
case and Judge Perkey read the
grounds Of the motion and offered
the affidvits of three persons to
sustain it.
The motion is based upon the
grounds that tie district attorney
has no. right to appoint a deputy
and that F. S. Gedney who con-
Quoted the arson cases before the
grand jury as deputy district at
tcrney was wrongfully before
that body.
1t was stipulated by the counsel
in the arson cases that the pro-
ceedings in the Dye case should
apply to all.
Judge Perkey argued the motion
briefly and cited authorities. The
state then called Recorder Great
house who produced the record of
Mr.. Gedney's appointment and
District Attorney Dysart wh,
testified that he was present in
the grand jury room while Mr..
Gedney conducted the examination
of witnesses in the arson cases.
In rebuttal Judge Perkey offered
to prove that Mr.. Gedney was
before the grand jury as the
personal representative Of Mr.. A.
W. Sewall. the prosecuting witness
in the arson cases and was his paid
attorney. The offer wss objected
to and Judge Orr sustained the
objection on the ground that the
offered proof did not come within
the statutory gounds for setting
aside an indictment.
Judge Perkey then gave notice
that II the motion to set side the
Dye case was overruled. he would

STARTLING GOOD ROADS, FACTS

ing could be reduced to one-half the
present average or IL 1-2 cents a ton,
the resultant saving would exceed $20O,-
100000 a year.
That such a saving Is reasonable Is
indicated by the experiences in other
countries and in localities where i'm
proved roads are found. The cost OF
hauling on such improved roads is
placed at from to 10 cents per ton
The introduction Of wise and equitable
road laws and good business manage
ment would, it is estimated, save $40,-
600, 900 more in the administration of
the countrys roads or leave 1t for some
other use.
The rapid increase in urban popula-
ton has greatly multiplied the demand
for the perishable products Of the dairy,
truck farm, and orchard, and the value
Of such products depends to a large
extent on their speedy transportation
from the country to the city. For this
and other reasons the auto truck and
similar product-carrying motors are
taking the place Of the horse and cart
and the farm wagon.
Public sentiment in favor. of better
roads is rapidly spreading to each
farm and hamlet. AS a result of this
awakening our 100000 miles of earth
roads can not much longer remain in
their present condition American
farmers can not afford to pay on an
average OF 23 cents to haul ton a
mile when 10 cents would suffice If
the Highways were improved.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1911-05-09

There are in the United States a lit
tie more than 2,150,000 miles Of roads.
OF this mileage only 176.429 miles are
improved, or SO per cent fthe total
according to statistics gathered by the
government office of public roads. The
improved roads are those surfaced with
gravel, stone or with some special ma
terial.
The most striking feature OF these
statistics is the enormous extent of UNI
improved roads in the United States
An expenditure of something like $780,
10000 would be required to convert
the common earth roads Of the country
into even good gravel roads. That this
is desirable few will gainsay, and that
1t is becoming necessary, under modern
conditions and the relations now exist
ing between producer and consumer is
also quite generally admitted. The in
creased cost of hauling over unimprov-
ed roads is an immense tax upon the
farmer and those who purchase his
products, and is a restriction Of the
crops which can be raised and moved
in certain localities

finds that 265,000pQ00 tons of agricultu-
raj forest and miscellaneous products
of the land are hauled to depots for
shipment in the course of year. Fig

DEBATE ON FREE LIST
MEASURE CONCLUDED
Handful of Faithful Members
Witnessed Termination Late
Saturday Afternoon
(By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, May GA handful of
faithful members of the house witnessed
the termination late this afternoon of a
memorable debate on the tariff free list
bill which probably will be voted upon
Monday. The debate was noteworthy be-
cause of the number of speeches, and
on account of the scant membership of
the house that followed them. From
the opening of the general discussion of
the bill there was no restriction on the
speaking on the measure. Few of the
speeches, however, received much at
tention.
SPEAKER CANNON.
Former Speaker Cannon had good
audience today when he spoke against
the bill. The seats were deserted dur
ing the remainder OF the day, however.
The close of today's session ended gem
eral discussion on the bill. Monday the
measure. which is the first of the DEM
ocratic tariff bills to come before con-
gress, will be subjected to attempts at
amendment; but the Democratic lead
ers hope to secure final vote on its
passage before adjournment that day.
Representative Faison, Of North Caro-
lima, was among those who today spoke
in favor of the measure.
In his attack on reciprocity Mr.. Can
non said:
would have been made If it had not been
demanded. by the great publishing inter-
ests of the country"
PRESIDENT oiTAFT.
President Taft's speech at the publish
ers' banquet in New York, he said, was
a fine piece Of humor better than any
thing of Clemens In 1t the president
urged the publishers to Sbe consistent
in favoring the passage Of the reciprocity
bill without amendment"
The former speaker also referred to
the Associated Press, Saying it was
made up of the publishers and that in
turn the publishers made up the As
ISOLATED Press. He declared It was a
great organization and that The would
not kill it If he could"
ST lost my temper over the reciprocity
pact" said Mr. Cannon. IT felt that
those who represented two-thirds Of the
people were willing, to sacrifice the 9TH
ers to answer the hysterical cry raised
by the demagogues. the Democrats and
the newspapers"
He predicted that the Democrats would
be overthrown in the next election.

stance, when the boil weevil devastated
that state, it was found that applica-
tions of phosphate FASTENED the matu-
rity to a marked degree, thus enabling
them to grow cotton with considerable
success in areas where the advent of
the boil weevil resulted in the practi-
cal destruction of the crop. Moreover,
chemical analysis of the soils of the
south indicates that they contain a
lower proportionate amount of phos-
phorus than of any other element, and
as this can only be secured in the
mineral form and it has such an impor-
tant influence on the formation of seed
and the fastening of maturity, the rea-
son for advocating the liberal use of
acid phosphate is not hard to under
stand. While many of our southern
soils contain a considerable amount of
potash, 1t is undoubtedly not in an
available form, or else there would be
less tendency for our cotton to rust.
Your inquiry is not surprising in view
of the foregoing figures, which indi-
cate a larger proportionate removal of
nitrogen than Of any other element, and
our soils are not particularly rich in
this element, but it has never been ex-
pected, nor is it a wise policy for the
farmer to attempt to supply all the nj
trogen needed for his crops in CONNER
cial form. He should secure the great
err part of it through crop rotations in
which the legumes are used, since they
have the power of gathering q part of
the nitrogen they need from the air.
and may be made to build up the soil
and supply it with an abundance of
this most expensive of all the elements
to supply.
I am gratified to know that you find
the agricultural columns of the Jour
nal so helpful, and that you believe il
lis wise and judicious policy on the
part of the farmer to acquaint himself
with all the best information he can
secure relative to feeding his crops, and
the conservation of the fertility of his
land.
