TRAFFIC QUESTIONS
WILL BE ARGUED
This Week Will Be Given UP Largely
in United States Supreme Court to
Cases of Railroad or Steam
ship Traffic.

Washington, d. c., Jan. S.-"lnter'
state commerce week. win be observed
in the supreme court of the United
States beginning to-day. Practically
all of the questions to be argued that
week are connected with railroad OF
steamship traffic.
The first case to be considered in
wolves whether shippers may be lndict-
ed for accepting rebates unless 1t Is
shown that the railroad concerned had
posted the regular rates Mt the railroad
station at point of origin. 1t was held
bv Judge Speer of Georgia that the post
ing of the regular rates IN the com
munity in which the shipper lived was
such an important means of informa-
tion that the shipper could not be in
dicted, unless it was alleged the rates
had been posted. This ruling occurred
in the indictments Of Harvey c. Miller
AID Morris f. Miller Of Philadelphia, on
charges OF accepting concessions for ship
nients over the Merchants and Miners
Transportation Co, jointly with the Sea
D ard Air line and with the Atlantic
Coast line
Another case is the quarter-century
fight Of Cincinnati shippers for lower
rates to Chattanooga and the South. In
1894 shippers induced the interstate com
mnrce commission to order a sharp re-
duction OF rates over the Cincinnati, New
Orleans and Texas Pacific Road from
Cincinnati to Chattanooga. Courts held
that the commission could not fix
future rate Later when this power was
conferred upon it the commission re-
duced first class rates to 10 cents, and
held that while demand for 60 cent
rate might be reasonable on road di
rect to Chattanooga it would not be so
on the Louisville and Nashville and con
Meeting lines. Further more, the COM
mission held that to reduce the rate to
90 cents might make inequitable GER
tain rates from Memphis to Chattanooga
and to Atlanta, Birmingham, Montgom-
cry and other southern cities. The Gin
cinnati shippers made an unsuccessful
a tempt in the commerce court to have
the seventy cent rate declared unjust
and unreasonable.
Whether a loophole. really exists IN
the immigration laws such as would al
low steamship companies to shift the
responsibility for bringing in immigrants
of the excluded classes. will be argued
before the court. A New York court
held that while the purpose of Congress
seemingly was to make the steamship
pay the cost OF returning such
rs are denied entrance, there
was nothing in the law to prevent the
from circumventing the law
~ requiring these immigrants to put
up security in foreign ports to cover the
cost OF returning them if rejected
Another question will be whether a
special rate on coal may be given rail- |
roads. Still other cases involving con- |
aicts Of jurisdiction between the inter
state commerce commission and the com
meree court will be heard.

WI. Burns Released in Kidnap-
ing Case
HELD ON PERSONAL BOND
Federal Law He obeyed Supreme, Says
Detective-Appears Before Grand Jury
and Tells Story of Arrest of the
Labor Leader Dynamiters.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. S.Action was
taken by Detective w. j. Burns, that
is expected to END the cases against
him and James Hosick, Los Angeles
officer, on the charge of kidnapping j. j.
Mcnamara from indianapolis. Burns
bondsmen surrendered him to Judge Mar
| key of the criminal court. The detec-
! tive was remanded to the custody OF
! the local officers, but before he could be
taken to jail he was released on writ
OF habeas corpus issued by Judge Ander-
son on a personal bond of 81 900 and in.
structed to appear before Judge Ander-
son next Thursday.
The proceedings have a national sig
nificance as the decision is expected to
stand as precedent in extadition cases.
Burns alleges that he was proceeding
under a federal law in removing Me-
Namara from indianapolis after the ex-
tradition had been honored by Gov. Mar
shall and warrant issued by the lat
ter for McNamara's arrest.
Burns maintains that under the fed
eraI law he could not be required to
take Mcnamara before state court as
the Indiana statutes provide The kid
naping indictment was based on the
charge that Burns did not take Me
Namara before a proper state court,
and that because the state laws were
not followed to the letter he was gull
ty Of crime.
Whether the state had any jurisdic-
ton over Mcnamara after the warrant
had been issued ON the extradition pa
pers win be determined by the federal
authorities. States Attorney Baker.

State Treasurer E. III. Deavitt of
Montpelier is a candidate for renomina :
tion to that position at the next state
Republican convention, and Walter Il.
Scott of Brandon has announced his can
didacy for the position. Mr.. Deavitt re-
lies on his record of efficient service and
the custom that has prevailed In the
past of giving state treasurers four
terms. he maintains that If he In fill !.
ing the Office in a satisfactory manner
there is no can for a change in what has
been satisfactory custom in the past.
Mr.. Scott and his advocates we under
stand are urging his candidacy at this
time because Mr.. Deayitt, candidate for
state treasurer, and Joseph A. DeBoe-,
one of the candidates for governor, both
reside in Montpelier, and If these two
men win, Washington county win have
more than its share of state officials. If
that is the strongest claim Mr.. Scott
makes for change at this time, we,
should oppose him. The merits of ad
ministrative officers, like state treasurer,
secretary of state, and state auditor,
have never been dependent on the resi-
dence of the governor In Chittenden
county, when U. A. Woodbury. was elect
ed governor, Chauncey A. Brownen Wa.
elected secretary of state. In Orleans
county, when George Fl. Prouty wasl
elected lieutenant-governor Horace +.
Graham was elected state auditor. When
w. w. Stickney was elected governor,
John L. Bacon of the same county was
elected state treasurer So it is evident
that the holding of two administrative
offices in the same county has not been
uncommon.
II Mr.. Deavitt is giving satisfactory
service in the state treasurer's office, we
see no valid reason why he should be
ousted at this time. The possibility
that the home of the next governor may
be in Montpelier is not sufficient justifi-
cation for passing the state treasurer
ship to another fellow. The duties and
of the office are such that
the less frequently changes are made
when competent men occupy the position
the better it win be for the state.--St.
Johnsbury Caledonian.

victims to over-zealous marksmen. In
some states, according to the news from
them, such slaughter of deer would
have been attended with an appalling
decline in the census.-New York Trib-
une.
Yes, thanks to the law limiting the
shooting of deer to bucks whose horns
are visible, not single man was shot
in Vermont by another deer hunter.
Two men were killed during the open
season for deer by the accidental dis
charge of their own guns, accidents that
are liable to happen to hunter at any
season. Taken altogether, the record of
1911 shows Vermont to be the best and
safest state in the union in which to
hunt deer.-St. Johnsbury Caledonian.

Road Administration.

Good roads, we'll built and well
maintained in the most economical
manner, requires, first Of all, the
right kind of organization. With
out this machine by which to do
good work, road funds cannot
possibly be expended with a max
imum result and minimum amount
of loss and waste. 1t requires good
laws and the proper administra-
tion of them.
For practical considerations we
may divide road administration
into two parts, namely, revenue
and its expenditure, Placing un-
der the term revenue" that part
which has to deal only with meas
ures for producing and collecting
the means for carrying on the
work, and under "expenditures'
that providing for the execution o.
of the actual work.
REVENUE.
The roads being public institu-
tions, the source Of revenue is the
public, and as a matter Of equity
should be a public tax sufficient te
build and maintain. This tax II
applied in various ways In tht

ton for roads has been confined
to the District of Columbia, nation
al cemeteries and parks, and in
very recent years to foreign pos
sessions. The original idea for gov
ernment expenditure upon roads
was the use of them for military
purposes, but in recent times it is
for their commercial and social
value. Strong appeals are now
being made upon Congress to OBJ
tain national aid.
Our National Government as
sisted the railroads with money
and large grants of land: Rail-
road transportation was necessary
for the development of the coun-
try. Congress appropriates mon
ey for canals, rivers and harbors.
All of which is right-not one cent
of it is regretted, but would it not
be fair proposition to directly
assist the people as we'll as private
corporations, and for those sec
tions of the country receiving the
direct benefit, to assist in govern
ment aid for the Improvement of
those public roads which are
utized for rural free delivery and
which are largely used for the up
building of the great agricultural
regions.
In view of the fact that our Ma
tional Government has given aid
to the construction of railroads in q
sum not less than fourteen billions
of dollars, and that, in the distri.
button of the mails over star and
rural routes, is now using 241,00C
miles of country road, constructed
and maintained entirely by the
counties and communities through
which they run, and without one
cent of national aid, could the Ma
tional Government, in the exer-
else OF its power to aid in internal
improvements, expend money
more wisely or beneficially thar
by an appropriation to be expend
ed upon the roads of the several
states under such proper restric-
tions and conditions as may be
imposed?
If it is proper to spend millions
of dollars of the nations money
on harbors which are used by re.
latively few, it is more proper and
iustifable to spend some of Che
nations money on public high
ways which are used by every.
body.

My Dear Friend Mr.. AXE, and all
the Folks that Read The Register:
We are nicely located in the
above-named city; our Heavenly
Father has been SO good to US.
We had a delightful trip out here,
stopping in ST. Louis and visiting
relatives, and in Kansas City, a
few days with the family Of G. 3.
Mcconnell, the editor of The Herald
of Holiness. We we're old friends
in Texas several years ago. Many
of the Des Arc folks know Brother
Mcconnell, as he attended most
of our camp meetings. From
there we went to Morehead, Kan,
spending two weeks with mother
and sisters and brother. Held
short meeting in my brother-in-
laws chapel and had good time
telling folks about Jesus. From
there we went to Guymon, Okla,
out on the plains, where we have
a beautiful farm of 100 acres. 1t
is in a new country, but things
are coming to the front there as
new railroads are crossing the
plains and the country is rapidly
building up.
Leaving Guymon, we started
for the end of our journey, Pasa-
dena,. Cal, taking the Southern
Pacific route, changing cars at El
Paso, Tex, and seeing the soldiers
encamped. There was quite lit
tie excitement over the Mexican
trouble, but on we came, crossing
the deserts of New Mexico and
into Arizona, where desolation
seems to have had it's homage,
yet we saw multitudes of people
making their way to Phoenix and
other health resorts. Cots and
tents were plentiful in the little
burgs and suffering humanity OF
every age and description was
seeking a climate to relieve their
lille, while thousands were seeking
pleasure and happiness and the
things Of the world. How really
wanted to get of and preach them
a sermon-where Jesus said in
Matthew 6:33, "Seek We First the
Kingdom of God and His Right
eousness."
Readers, the things of this world
will perish, but the Kingdom Of
God, which is Joy and peace In
the Holy Ghost, will abide forever

health and to want to live, and

Contributions to this column are solicited,)

various nations and states and
usually in part or all of three
ways, namely:
1. A tax upon the traveller or
vehicle, or both. This is the toll
road method, and as it disappears
in such form it reappears as a tax
upon the vehicle-the automobile
tax.
2. A capitation tax, more COM
monty called a poll tax.
8. A property tax, which is
either direct or indirect. The
property tax is the main source of
revenue for road purposes and is
obtained either as:
(a) A Local Tdr.-This is in the
nature of direct or special prop
erty tax, local bonds or the use of
local prisoners. In Missouri the
principal source of road revenue
is a direct local tax and a poll tax.
Two or three counties have made
good use of county prisoners and
few localities have bonded for
road purposes. A small percent-
age of the road work is done by
free donations from public-spirit-
ed citizens, both in labor and in
cash.
Road Bonds.-A logical way to
build roads is with bonds. A good
road is form of public improves
ment for the general good, which
should and must be paid for out OF
public revenue. 1t costs money to
make good roads, which money
must be provided by some form Of
taxation. A public bond is sim
ply one form of taxation and moth
ing else. 1t is form of taxation
whereby the community may se-
cure the money, upon credit, COM
lplete the work and then pay of
the debt gradually while enjoying
the improvement. The -sar.e
amount Of money secured by 9
bond issue, if collected over per.
iod of fifteen years as an annua
tax, provided the law permitted it
and used upon the roads, woulc
not result in the good which viii
, accrue il the roads are made ant
then paid for by annual install
, ments called bonds. We hav'
been trying to build roads grad
ually for forty years and still hav,
i little to show for it. The increas
ed benefits accruing from gooe
roads over the fifteen years viii
pay for the bond issue, and be-
, sides you will have something fo
llyour money. First build tho road
and then the present tax for roadl
will maintain them, but you hay,
nothing to maintain unless frs
! built. We have been trying tos
, long to make roads withou
) money.
