Practical steps toward the exeea-
ton Of the plans for the Lincoln
Memorial on the bank Of the PotD
mac have at last been taken. Al
yesterdays meeting the accepted"
design Of Mr., Bacon was formally
approved by the 'mmission and
authorization was given for the in
vitaiion Of bids for the construction
to be passed upon at the mex. meet
ing, ehich will probably be held 10
TIE autumn. Then later, perhaps in
Janua y, the commission will select
sculptor for the execution Of the
statue of Lincoln which will stand
within the peristyle, forming the cen.
trail figure Of the memorial.
Thus are the ways laid for s. arting
this long delayed project to honor
tie memory Of the war President
adequately at the National apital.
The design selected is inspiring in
Its character. The site is admirable.
The creation itself will be noble
work certain to make upon all te-
holders profound impression. Par
ticulafly if in good season work is
started upon the memorial bridge to
Arlington this memorial to Lincoln
will become one Of the most sigpiii-
cant features Of the capital. II " Il
stand at the entrance Of the bridge,
which will then form the main means
Of approach to the national cemetery,
where lie some OF the most dis,in-
guished OF the American soldier
dead.
1t is gratifying to observe the pro-
gress toward the evolution Of ma
tional capital Of dignitiei attractive
ness. Congress responds slowly, bus
surely, to the demands Of the Amsri-
can peppls for the development Of
the federal city, and the results are
permanently creative Of an artistic
sense on the part Of the public. The
Lincoln Memorial IS a long step in

THE RATE DECISION.


the decision by the United States
Supreme Court ia til Minnesota
railroad rate case Tuesday, was re-
markable in a dual sense. 1t was
first Of ail, unanimous, contrary to
the court to divi'e upon important
questions. Again, it set up the doe
trine of states rights, but at the SAL. e
time subordinated it to the principle
of federal control over interstate
commerce. It declares that the state
mas the right to fix interstate rates on
interstate railroad lines as long as
and only as long as that right i not
exercised by Congress. The court
refuses to effect ~ decision what
Congress nay accomplish ny legisla
ton.
Indirectly the decision is signi6
cant Of the difficulty which will he
encountered BY the commission now
at v ork upon the physical valuation
of the abroad properties 10 this
country. The plea Of the railroads
in the particular case before the courl
was that the rates fixed by the state
Of Minnesota were eonfscatorg. Nee
cessaril, this involved the considera-
ton of the re'ation. between the rates
and the earning power Of the ccm-
plainant company, which in turn in
volved the question Of investment
or valuation. Associate Justis
Hughes, in his decision, dwelt upon
this point in a manner to forecast
the attitude Of the court upon the
valuation question when, as is inevi-
table, the findings Of the com mission
are brought beftre it for review. I'll
il apparent that the court, if eons.i-
tuted as at present, will permit no

INDIAN LAND TAX DECISION IS
AN EVASION Of STATE RIGHT S

Oklahoma City, Jan. THAT the
re cnt s'p"eme co TT decision eX-
empting Indian lands in Oklahoma
from taxation is unprecedented, un.
american and an evasion of states
rieh;s was stated by Kirby Fitzpa,-
rick of Oklahoma City in a paper
read before the state bar assoCia-
tior Tuesday afternoon.
The speaker prefiXed his remarks
Wy a general introduction in which he
said that he did not believe that the
cases cited by the supreme court of
the United States are in point and
that il a rehearing of the cases could
be had he believes that the court
would reverse its ruling. Fitzpatrick
said that he has given the subject
considerable thought and study and
he read bulky and exhaustive paper
in support of his contention. which
was in the nature of brief, at
tacking the cases cited by the court
in its opinion as having no bearing
on the point in issue and citing other
cases which he claimed supported his
contention that the supreme courr
was in error.
The lawyers took advantage Of a
lull near the noon hour to wind up
many routine matters and adopted
the report of the special committee
APP ointed to hook into the proposed
amendment to the bylaws in regard
to prosecution in disbarment pro-
ccedinGs. The report of the commit
tee was read b. JUDGE Burwell Of
Oklahoma City and made no chance
in the present rule with the evce0-
ton that it empowered the pres dent
to appropriate funds for the purpose
of prosecution. 1t was stated that

! The first mt "a, re was report 0f
introduced by Judge S. II. Harris
This was worked ~ in the shape Of
a bill all ready for passa2e by the
legislature and provides for the craa.
ton of a state counsellor. who is to
have charge of the draf ing of all
bills for the legislature, and iritia.
tive measures and to give advice to
the legislature on legal matters. II
IS provided that the counsellor be
a lawyer Of at least ten years eX-
perience either in the direct practice
of law or as judge of a court Of
rc2orl and that the salary lie 5000.
If the measure passes the lie sislature
as drawn he will be appointed Nv
the supreme court. 1t also abolishes
the office of court reporter.
This measure received a favorable
reception by the bar association anl
created little discussion, although sew.
eral members took advantage OF its
introduction to take shots at the
legislature and to quote several badly
constructed laws to illustrate The
need of such an Office. Judge Tar
ris introduced the bill with lengthy
discussion in viii h he pointed out
the advantages of the office that it
is expected will be expe iencel. lie
claimed that much surplus ver1iase
could thus be avoided an .hc laws
simplified by expert drafting Of
lawyer, who in time would re ONE
an adept at this sort of work.
No Talk OF Uniformity.
The report did not deal with the
uniformity of laws between the state,
and Judge Harris exrl ined that this
question had been left out by agree
ment'of the committee on account Of
the fear among lawyers that uniform
laws miGht tend TO create lawyers

After a few speeches and some
good natured arguing, several men,

were brought under the plea that
the commission idea nav no, be the

is the best possible under present
conditions. Several voiced the opin-
