MOVE TO AMEND
CORPORATION Law
Governor Noel Thinks Present Law
on Trusts is Unconstltu-
tional.
Special to The Mems.

special TO The NesDs.
Jackson, Miss, Jan. 5.-Believing
that there are certain exceptions
which may effect the constitutionah-
ty of the whole law and render it
void, Governor Noel has sent back to
the legislature, Senate bill No. 319,
passed April II, 1910. The measure
is an act to amend section 1, Chap
ter 119, of the laws of 1908, SO as to
exempt from operation thereof pub
lie service corporations under the jur-
isdiction of the Mississippi Railroad
Commission and whose traffic and
charges are controlled and regulated
by it,
In my opinion says the governor,
"The law should be strengthened and
its remedies enlarged The excep'
tions of the kind mentioned in the bill
might effect the constitutionality Of
the whole law"
Chapter 119, of the laws
relate to an amendment
5O02 of the Code of 19d
trusts and combines and 6n-
spiracy, so as to MAXI 16 Bora
ton, partnership or fer1o trust.
and combine, which shaH troy or
attempt to destroy competition in the.
manufacture or sale of a commodityI
by offering the same for sale at low1
er price at one place in this state'
than another or rendering service at
lower price in one locality than ar
other. and providing a rule Of evt
i dence in certain class of cases. H.
The governor vetoed the bill b'
lieving that its scope could be broa
ened and the exceptions provided f.
in the amendment be so restricted "
to give the Railroad Commission pod
er to regulate. This, however, vii
not take away from the courtast&1
power to penalize persons or 5
bines operating in violation

STANDARDIZING MEN.

Great dtltHIlOH HdS uoOh Sl'Oi of late to an effort to introduce into machine shops in arsenals, navy yards and elsewhere that the general government employs mechanics in large numbers, what is known as the Taylor system of scientific shop management, under which there is kept tab upon the work of individuals, with rewards, bonuses, etc., for speedy work, and reprimands, fear of discharge, and even discharge for failures to reach certain standards, the idea being to stimulate the effort of every man up to the very highest point. The system was introduced into the Watervliet arsenal, in Mas sachusetts. The men rebelled, and 
 appealed to Congress, committee from which made an investigation, and has reported recently That report must be very interesting reading, judging from excerpts which have been transmitted by the newspapers. It is needless to say that the committee takes ground against the system. Under the Taylor system men and ma chimes are worked practically alike. Both are worked to break. The committee takes the ground that men and machines are not quite alike. The committee might have gone farther and presented the fact that two machines made exactly alike will differ in their respective performance.
 All railroad men know for a fact that one locomotive will be quicker than another, yet both made in the same shop, from iden' tcal patterns. One will start much quicker than the other, get its headway sooner, attain and main tain a higher rate of speed with g smaller consumption of fuel. The difference seems all to be in the valve motion and the friction O the pistons in the cylinders, where the steam applies the power that il transmitted by the driving rods tt the wheels. It is explained tha when the castings going into thos' various parts were poured thu molten metal was at a trifling diff ference in the degree of heat, witt a result that in cooling, one woulC be harder than another, giving les friction when in action, and mani testing the result in the more per
  feet engine doing it's work wit ease much greater. Nothing can b done that will bring the inferio locomotive up to the performance of its mate. The difference is in herent in the very quality of tn material of which it is built.

Ancestral Caution.

Heredity is known to be a power

naively prove the strength of its in
fluence, said an observer.
Two little fellows attended a we'd
ding in their families at a magnificent
hotel in Fifth avenue, New York. They
were of a race whose antiquity and
historic fame are mQuestioned. Their
dark, glowing eyes and rich velvet
attire made them objects Of interest In
the marble corridors still more as the
names of their parents are synonym.
Gus with uncounted millions.
They approached an ormolu table
on which stood silver bowl, beauti
fully chased and filled with innocu
GUS punch, especially brewed for the
delectation of the feminine palate. The
attendant, suave Frenchman, with a
genufection, asked them If they would
taste the beverage.
The boys looked longingly at the
bowl and then asked gently:
Does 1t cost anything?"

MANS LANGUAGE TO BRUTES
Peculiar Click and Chirp Used to Start
and Hasten Horses Used in
Many Parts of World.

The tale of the farmer in the Ara.
bian Nights who could understand the
language of animals and fowls In his
barnyard probably had its origin in
the ancient myth which asserted that
in primitive times men and beasts
were able to converse together.
In truth, as everybody knows. there
are certain sounds, or words, which
horses, dogs and other animals can be
taught to understand; and, on the 9th
er hand, some of the sounds uttered
by domestic animals have meaning
that man can understand All this is
of course, a very different thing from
language, and yet it has a certain
scientific interest, evidenced by the
various Investigations that have been
made.
1t has been shown, for instance, with
reference to the language used In talk
ing to domestic animals that people
unconsciously attempt to lower their
language by authorizations, ETC., to the
comprehension of brutes, very much
as they do when they talk to young
children. A curious fact is that the
peculiar click and chirp used to start
and to hasten the movements of
horses are employed in widely sepa-
rated parts of the world, but some
times in a reverse sense. In India,
for example, those sounds are used
to stop instead of to start horses.

serving to make navigation In the past
difficult For many decades the native
rulers fostered a condition OF com
paratiye isolation for the royal city.
Consists of Four Cities.
Bangkok is virtually an aggregation
of four associate cities. The European
or consular section is the part OF
Bangkok that takes to tennis and
driving after the days routine, is later
comforted by whisky and soda, and
finally is waited into the land Of
dreams by the cooling draughts OF
punkahs kept in motion by seemingly
tireless Chinese coolies. Next Is the
Chinese city. Most of the pawnshops
of Bangkok are In the Chinese quar-
ter. There, too, have fourished the
opium joints.
The Siamese native quarter of the
town is characteristic. The greater
part of it rests both upon the rivers
bank and the broad, swift flowing bos.
ON of the Menam 1t Is virtually moth
ing more than succession of piers or
RATS, upon which are the native
shops, with their open fronts display
ing their curious wares at the waters
edge, so that the passerby in his boat
can see where to stop for his bargain
ing.
1t is in commercial relations that
the native woman rises superior; and
the masculine shopkeeper will con-
clude no sale or business deal until
he has consulted either his wife or his
daughter. With total population OF
something like a million souls, quite
a number of the capitals citizens live
within floating habitations. These
floating homes are not all upon the
Menam, but lie upon a network OF
waterways tributary thereto, and this
has given Bangkok at times the name
of the Venice of the East.
The streets are narrow and Ill kept
while the water thoroughfares are
wide and deep enough for boat travel
Traffic and intercourse are therefore
principally by water and the skill OF
the native boatman has long been the
object of European admiration.
Near the royal habitation are housed
the sacred white elephants in a tenn
pie or wat built especially fof them
Each elephant has its own apartment
and personal keeper, and over these
attendants, by royal appointment, are
several supervising noblemen Of the
court. The elephants are not really
white, but either light gray or gray
of pinkish hue. Their eyes are pale
and resemble those Of human al
bino. The so-called white elephant Is
| considered an incarnation Of Buddha

Hurt Fishermen's Business.

A strange story comes from From

gallons of confiscated wine were
thrown into canal there by the Gus

effect of intoxicating the fish, which
swim on the top of the water and can
be picked out by hand. The house
wives refuse to buy fish when they
can get them for themselves. and the
