SUGGESTION OF Error
IN AUTO CASE

Jackson, Miss, June 9.-A sugges-
ton of error in connection with the re-
cent supreme court dicision declaring
the automobile registration fee in this
state unconstitutional, and asserting
it was a tax, was filed by the attorney
general in the supreme court this morn
ing.
The suggestion of error sets forth
that the ground upon which the decis-
ion of the supreme court was based
is not sound consideration at law. It
says that the supreme court held that
this registration act regarding auto
mobiles is an exercise of the police
power Of the state, and that registra'
tion fees fixed by the act are unreason
able, and therefore the legislature ex
ceeded its constitutional authority.
The ground upon which the sugges
tion of error proceeds is that while 1
is true It is a police regulation, and al
exercise by the legislature Of the polio
power, It Is equally true that the tar
ing power is ordinarily involved, an
is usually exercised in the incidents
matter OF fixing and regulating fees an
costs, and such matters connected wit
the execution of police reputation
therefore IL is a matter for the legi
lature to determine as to the reaso
ah'epess Of these charges, and not
matter for the courts,

ALASKA DEVELOPMENT UP.
Secretary Lane and Col. Swanitz
Railway Engineer, Confer.

Secretary Lane of the Department of
the Interior had conference with Col.
A. w. Swantz, chief engineer of the
Alaska Northern railway, yesterday, rela-
tive to railway and coal land develop
ment in Alaska. All of the residents
of Alaska are vitality interested in the
development of the territory's coal supply.
The present administration has as yet
announced no definite policy regarding
the development of the material resources
of the territory, but President Wilson has
said in a general way that he aimed to
encourage the development of Alaska,
feeling that there was enough material
possibility in the big northern land to
warrant it's going ahead SO soon as this
could be done without the natural re-
sources falling into the grasp Of pri-
vate monopoly.
One of the other callers at the Interior
Department was former Representative
Charles Towne of Minnesota, who was
also on Alaskan business. He called to
urge the candidacy of George F. Wiley
for the governorship of Alaska to sue
coed Walter Clark. who has held that
position for several years.
