Dyson is a great place. The peo-
pie out there d. about as they please
and there is no one TO molest or make
afraid. In fact, it is one of the few
places in this country where pure
and unadulterated American liberty
still holds sway. There was some talk
during the last session of the legisla-
ture about having some rural police
out there, but the governor and the
delegation in the legislature, we are
told, could not agree and so there are
no police officers of any kind in the
community. Everything is moving
on very smoothly and it is about as
we'll as not that there are no rural
policemen. Now and then some one
takes a little too much, or there is
chicken main on, or negro is killed,
or some one may sell little Of the
stuff that makes glad, but there is no
complaint and the people are good
and clever and are getting along about
as we'll as the rest Of the State where
there are so many officers of the law.
We have too many laws any way and
too many law officers. A man has to
pinch himself now and again to see
if it is he and if he mas not violated
some law. The old axiom the, least
governed are The best governed is as
true today as it was when it was ut
tered and it was certainly true then.
But what is is best or it wouldn't be.

Mr.. J. +. Bureher,
Editor Clay City Times,
Clay City, Ky.
Dear Mr.. Burgher:
Your friendly criticism of my
action in the taxation Of railroads
is noted.
1t is going the rounds thnt the
property of the railroads has not
been increased for taxation |
do not know why tins is so.
Their property was raised for
taxation in 1912 over a hundred
million dollars and the same this
year, 1918. Ii is this way, we
have two assessing boards, for
instance, your County Supervis-
ors raise the tax of Powell Coun.
~ 800, 000, 900. 90 it would not be
reasonable to expect the State
Equalization Board to make a
raise in addition to the County
Supervisors raise.
Yours very truly,
-. II. q. Garrett.

COURT RULES FOR
RATE COMMISSION
SUPREME TRIBUNAL SUSTAlNS
ORDER GIVEN RAILROADS TO
MAKE MORE STOPS.
C. B. & Q. APPEAL is DENIED
AS Public Carrier, 1t Is Ruled Their
Primary Dutf Is to Give Local Ser
v'ce-Must Stop Two of Four
Trains Daily

Madison.-The supreme court has
confirmed the decision of the Dane
county circuit court and declared
constitutional the Wisconsin law of
1911 making it compulsory upon a
railroad running four trains each
way daily past a given station, to
stop two trains daily. each way, at
that station.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad had appealed the case from
the Dane county court, making the
railroad commission defendant. The
railroad commission ordered the road
to stop an additional train at Colum-
bus, Buffalo county. The order was
sustained in the lower court
The Burlington's attorneys insist
ed that the company could not stop
its through limited trains at small
stations without destroying their eff
flciency and losing much business and
revenue, and that such stoppage at
thirteen additional stations would be
an unWarranted Interference with in
terstate commerce.
The railroad commission contend
ed that the law may be fully COM
piled with by running intra-state
trains, and that even If construed to
require the stopping of interstate
trains the statute is valid because
the furnishing of adequate local serV-
ice is the primary duty of a car

LEVEE WILL GET ATTENTION
Government Sends Notice That Land
at Portage Is Wanted for
improvements.

Portage and miIlown-
ers residing on the government canal
which connects the Fox and WiScon-
sin rivers at this place have received
notice to the effect that the gov
eminent is DESTROYS of securing the
title of a twenty foot strip of land
on each side of the canal to make
possible an improvement which has
been long anticipated. The govern
ment intends to redock the canal and
place it in navigable condition. The
rebuilding of this docking will mean
much to the commercial interests of
the Fox river valley. A representa-
tive of the war department has been
in Portage for several weeks secur-
ing data pertaining to the proposed
improvement, which it is expected
will take place next season. Another
improvement which is expected is the
finishing of the rebuilding of the
levees in the vicinity of Portage. The
state commission has completed a
portion of the work, but it is I'M
finished and bill viii be presented
in the state Legislature by Assembly
man Johnson of this district for an
appropriation of SIS, 900 to finish the
work and to protect that which has
been built up to this tVne.

After Debate Bristi,ng With Fiery
Speeches.

Madison,-After fiery speech, il
which he roasted former state fair
officials to turn, for sins of onis-
sion and commission, Assemblyman
Newcomb Spoor succeeded in rescu-
ing lis bill for a new state fair board
from slaughter. The bill came up
for indefinite postponement, having
been put over on substitute amend
ment
The assemblyman charged the
state board of agriculture with gross
extravaganza. Former President
George McKerrow. he said, was a
'1eech," in that he had drawn about
$4,000 from the state When call
ed on this proposition by Assembly
man Percy Sawyer, who asked for a
bill of particulars, Mr.. Spoor said
he would take it back
Assemblyman Henry F. Kruger,
who is member of the state fair
board, went after Mr. Spoons state
ments and asked why he did not take
the report of the state board for
1912, instead of basing his charges
on the former years, when there
were conflicts in the boards. Mr..
Kruger asserted that the woman
lobbyist" who was responsible for
the bill, had not made a report as
matron of the state fair hospital, as
required by the rules.
Assemblyman O. F. Roessler sup
ported Mr.. Spoons assertions that
the state fair board had been guilty
OF extravaganza. Mr.. Roessler was
formerly a member of the state
board of agriculture At the end of
the debate the bill was ordered en-
crossed. 1t provides for a board of
seven members, of which two shall
be women, to be selected by dele
gates from various agricultural and
horticultural and other societies in
the state. These delegates are to
meet annually in the assembly and
elect members of the state board

RAILWAY FIREMEN
TELL Of HARDSHIPS
Several Give Testimony Before
Arbitration Board.
WORK HARD, PAY INADEQUATE
Fact Is Emphasized That Suckers Are
Equally Responsible With En-
Gineers for the Safety
of Trains.

New York. March 14.-Complaints
ness from lack Of food, increase OF
work, exhaustion from overhead, Bills
tered hands, scorched clothing and
added responsibility were made by
railroad fremen as Witnesses before
the arbitration board on Wednesday
which is seeking under the Erdman
act to settle the firemen's demands
on the fifty-four eastern roads for bet
ter pay and extra help on large loco
motives, in one case fireman toiled
twenty-five hours continuously.
Emphasis, was laid upon the fact
hat the railroads, by the introduc-
zion Of bigger engines, were getting
more work out of the men, without
an adequate increase in compensa-
tiCn
David Leinhardt of Tyrone, Pa, a
Pennsylvania railroad fireman, said
that hardly day passes without one
Of the seven crews on his division OF
III miles being tied up under the To-
hour law. He declared the men were
iSi SC0 I44SlA W SlCCP 4t ShS
and to get their food wherever they
could find it.
On account of this condition. Lem
hardt declared flremen on the division
usually took two days ratlons MIN
them when they went from their
homes to work He complained OF the
quality of coal furnished by the ROAD,
stating that better coal would make
the work of the f1remen easier.
Charles A. Kaufman, Baltimore
& Ohio fireman, stated that when en-
gines capable of pulling 1880 tons
each we're substituted for engines tnat
could pull only 1900 tons, one fire
man was compelled to do the work
done by two men, but received only
twenty cents day increase in pay.
Several of the witnesses emphasized
the fact that the fireman shares with
the engineer responsibility for the
safety of the train. One cited an IN
stance where fireman was suspend
ed for seven days and the engineer
for IA days for running by red block
signal. Another said that the fire
mans responsibility extends even to
keeping tab On the water in the boil
er. Still another witness told Of
fireman who had been suspended for
60 days because he failed to notify
the engineer that switch signal was
turned
Frederick A Murphy of Brunswick,
Md, freight fireman on the Cumber-
land division of the Baltimore & Ohio,
said he was frequently tied up under
the 16-hour law because of the heavy
traffic and delay in making sidings.
He said he often worked for stretches
of II, IS and even % hours, and made
S65 to $40 a month.
