Statutes governing Counties
Being Examined by the
Attorney General Now
MAY NOT BECOME EFFECTIVE

Question has been raised as to the
constitutionality of a number Of laws
passed by the last legislature with
relation to the powers of counties by
reason of the fact that they practically
attempt to create a classification Of
counties as regards their government
by the enactment of laws providing
different set of powers for counties
of a different population.
There are some fifteen or twenty
laws of this character and some of
them 60 so far as to provide
material changes in the form Of
county government.
Will Ask for Opinions.
1t is understood that the attorney
general will be asked to give an
opinion on the constitutionality of
some of the laws in the near future.
The constitutional provision for uni
formity Of county government is, it is
said, violated in the opinion of num-
Der of attorneys in some of the laws
as is also the constitutional provision
against class legislation.
Among the chapters passed by the
last legislature which are under
scrutiny, because Of fear of their I'M
constitutionality are chapters 232, 2S4,
296, 437, and SAT, and it is claimed
there are other chapters to which
possibly the same objection can be
raised.
May Make Court Test
It is more than probable that the
constitutionality of some one of these
chapters will be definitely raised in a
court proceeding in the near future.
AS will be noticed, some of the chap
ters apply to the powers of villages in
different sized counties, and this also
raises another question as to whether
village powers can be granted as re-
CARDS the population Of the county in
which they are located. Some of the
county powers are attempted to be
based upon the population of city
also located within their limits.
1t is said court action involving
the constitutionality of some of these
chapters would give opportunity for a
decision which would clear up and
define just how the legislature can
create these powers if such thing is
possible under the constitution. It
is also said such decision would be
greatly welcomed.

EARTH SLIDES At
CULEBRA CUT
MORE THAN A HALF MILLION
YARDS OF DIhT AND ROCK
HAVE FALLEN THIS MONTH.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Recent
slides of earth and rock into the Gu
Zebra cut will necessitate great ac-
tivitv if the Panama canal is to be
opened before the end of the present
calendar year as has been predicted
by Colonel Goethals. More than half
a million yards of earth and rock
have fallen into the cut this month
and engineers fear that another i'm
pending break at Purple Hill will add
not less than 1,0O0,000,000 yards.
For long time the notorious Cur
curaca slide on the east bank OF the
canal has been quiet, but on the af-
ternoon of Jan. 16 the earth move
ment began so rapidly as to carry
avav some of the dirt cars and COM
pletely covered all of the railroad
tracks in the canal except one. Pur-
pie Hill is holding back tremendous
amount of earth, slowly moving to-
wards the cut, but the hill is show
ing signs of weakness and should II
break away the canal would be al
most filled at that point.

PARCELS POST
PROVES SUCCESS
IN ITS FIRST FIFTEEN DAYS
SAVED THE PEOPLE OF UNITED
STATES $5ooooo.

Washington, ID. c., .,Jan.30.-Not on
" has the parcels post saved the
people Of the United States in the
first fifteen days of its existence
nore than $500,000, according to Sen
ator Bourne, author of the law, but
II has not proved hardship to the
oyerworked letter carrier. Senator
Bourne today announced that reports
from 45 leading cities of the country,
which produce almost half of the
postal revenues, showing that during
the twelve working days between
Jan. 1 and Is a total of 5,O94,O277
outgoing parcels were dispatched at
a cost of 1895, ,2S0, or about nc par
Gel.
Under the postage rates previous
ly in force 1c an ounce said the
senator, "the postage would have
been an average Of IS 1-2c per par
eel, or a total Of $942.394.99, thus
SuOWlUB d SdNllB W ohippCio VI
$547,5OS.12 on twelve days business.
1t should also be remembered that the
usual minimum charge of express
companies is 25c per parcel, whereas
the average charge on the parcel
packages was only TIC.
1T is also worthy of note that al
though the business was large, 1t
was distributed through large postal
organization so that no congestion
has resulted. The postoffice clerks
in these forty-five cities have han
died an average Of only twenty-eight
parcels each day, this including both
incoming and outgoing parcels. The
total number Of parcels delivered in
thsse cities makes an average of
only 8 1-9c parcels per carrier per
day"

he was a party TO the killing of Gen.

from entry any person convicted or

Involving moral turpitude, providing
it is not purely a political offense.

tion regarding his admissibllity If
permitted to refuse, he maintained
