.SIDELIGHTS
ON POLITICS
BY JAMES 3. NEVIN.

The Georgia Legislature has in
dulged itself this session in much talk
Of tax reform, but so far the reform
is not exactly in sight.
What has heretofore prevailed by
way of tax reform talk admittedly
has been magnificent, but it has not
been war!
Tax reform in the Kimball House
lobby and tax reform on the statute
books of Georgia are two radically
different things-and it. really, is tax
reform on the statute books that the
people OF Georgia generally seem most
to be hankering for.
Beginning to-day there remain
about four weeks Of Legislative time
in which tax reform may be achieved.
Scant time. even if none of it is
lost. If anything worth while gets
through. it win have to hustle. and
a good many things will have to get
out of its way
The Senate is not embarrassed in
this matter SO much as the House,
for the House must get its meas
ures out of its hands and in the hands
Of the Senate. or take the blame
for the failure to put tax reform over.
Both the Senate and the House, in
spite OF themselves, have succeeded
in wasting much time this session.
This Is distinctly the fault of the
Houses, moreover, and not Of the
presiding officers or the committee
chairmen.
The Senate and the House contin-
ually throw away their time debat-
ing frivolous things-such as wheth-
er the hall shall be permitted to thus
and 80 speaker, or whether a bill re-
ferred to one committee really was
not an affront to or reflection upon
some other committee.
There is not much time left in
which tax reform measures may be
put over. If they are put over. both
Houses must dispose of the neces-
sary and important work now in
hand and as speedily as possible take
up the real big business Of the ses-
sion.

pike, only a percentage of which come
to the attention of the city newspapers
The Baltimore Washington boulevard
too, has been the scene OF many mis-
haps since it has been opened to traffic.
From Allegany county have come
specific complaints Of reckless operation
of motorcars, which has resulted in sew
eral accidents and cost lives From that
county there is a demand that the State
Commission of Motor Vehicles exercise
to a greater extent his authority to for
felt the license of motor vehicle opera
tors. AS the law now stands, the great
est authority lays with the Commissioner
and while he has suppressed a score or
more, of operators licenses this year
complaints of reckless driving continue
to be heard
Early in the year the State Roads
Commission, which is naturally concern
ed in protectinn the new roads from de-
struction by high-sp automobiles,
supplied its patrolmen with printed
forms on which to report to the State
Motor Vehicle Commissioner the num-
bers of the cars they observed going at
excessive speed. This was kept up for
a while, but as it did not seem to cure
or even reduce the evil the plan was
abandoned What shall be done next is
the perplexing questions. BALTIC. News.

The Pound Net Law To Be Enforced

The Federal law, concerning pound
nets requires that the owners name be
placed on each end of the pound net. A
lantern must be placed on the offshore
end at night The shore end is to be
marked with a brush. When the fishing
is over the owner must take up nets and
stakes and he will not be permitted to
relocate them unless he has written
permit from the authorities.
This last point is going to be the means
of breaking up this practice of pound
netting, some of which extend seven
miles into the Chesapeake Bay, and is
destroying the big fish and preventing
the spawning ones from going into the
r.vers.
The Maryland State Game and Fish
PrOtr dive Association is going to get
back of the movement in an effort TO
bring about a restriction of pound net
setting, and it may be assumed that bet
or conditions will prevail.

Complain OF Speeding Autoists

Complaints of excessive and danger
Gus speed by automobilists on the new
State roads are becoming more numerous
as the aggregate of completed mileage
increases, and the traffic commission
which has been appointed by Governor
GoldsEbrough to frame new regulations
is expected to give attention to this
problem among others.
In the last two days two county pa
pcrs have had editorials complaining that
autoists are endangering their own lives
as well as others in running at high
speed. The Cecil Wing complains that
there is much recklessness in Cecil
county, while the Ellicott City Times
calls attention to the increasing fire.

RULING AGAINST
THE RAILROADS
States Have Right to Fix Rates
Within Their Borders Must
Not BE COnflscatOry.

Important Decision Handed Down by
the Supreme Court In Which the
Power Of State Railroad Commits.
slons and Legislatures TO Regulate
lntrastate Rates Is sustained-Rul.
ing Dlsposes Of Forty Gases.
Washington, June 10.-The United
States supreme court handed down
its decision in the Minnesota railroad
rate case, unanimously deciding in
favor Of the states and against fed.
eral control.
Railroads lose their fight on the
principle involved in the case. They
had hoped through this litigation to
shake off what they hold burdensome
rates which the authorities OF many
states have fixed for intrastate traffic
and to establish the control of the
interstate commerce commission in
all cases where there is a conflict be.
tween its authority and the authority
of the state officials
The effect of the decision is to sus.
tain the power of the state railroad
commissions and state legislatures to
fix 2-cent passenger or other rates on
business exclusively within the states,
provided always that the rates are
not confiscatory.
The supreme court in this impor.
tant decision holds clearly, however,
that congress has the power to over
ride state authorities as regards the
fixing of rates which affect interstate
business whenever the national legis
lature shall elect to exercise such au
thority. In putting this problem
frankly up to congress there is appar-
emily little hope of immediate relief
for the railroads.

ILLINOIS WOMEN
GET THE BALLOT
House Passes the Measure Ini-
tIated I'm Senate-NOw Goes
to Governor Dunno.

Bill Grants to Women the Right to
Vote For President and For Major.
ity Of Municipal officers-Jubllant
suffragets Pronounce It the Biggest
Thing That Has Happened Since
the Civil War.
Springfield ILL.,, June 12.-The WON.
an suffrage bill, which already passed
the senate, was approved in the
house It is considered certain Gov
ernor Dunno will sign the measure.
While not giving full suffrage, the
bill gives women the right to vote
for president and for municipal Off.
GERS. They can not vote for COVER
nor or members of the state assem-
bly,.
Pending notice of a motion TO re.
consider the vote by which the bin
was passed, 1t will remain in posses
sion Of the house. Unless the house
reconsiders its vote, which is consid.
cred not likely, the suffrage bill will
be up to Governor Dunno by the lat
ter part of the present week fer .ex.
ecutive approval or veto.
The limited suffrage bill, which is
now only few steps from becoming
a law, was introduced in the senate
on Feb. II by Senator p. S. Magill,
Republican, and was passed by the
upper branch Of the general assembly
early in May.
Representative Lee O'Neil Browne,
Democrat, made the only speech in
the house against the bill. In part
said: This bill is going to change the
political map of Illinois. It is going
to wipe out all party lines. 1t is going
to eliminate the Democratic party
from the face of the earth. It is 60
ing to eliminate the Republican par.
ty, too" He scored the Democratic
and Republican legislators for sup
porting the bill.
Leaders of the woman's suffrage
movement are jubilant. "It is the
biggest thing that has happened east
of the Mississippi since the civil |
war;" said Mrs. Catherine Waugh Nc.
Culloch, one of the pioneer workers
for equal suffrage in this state. cal
though we are given the right to vote
for president and most municipal Off
GERS, and although it will require an |
to the state constitution
still further to extend our suffrage so
that we will have full suffrage, the
fact that an eastern state has taken
this action will give the national
movement a great impetus"
