Traction Engines Not Barred.

The protest against the State Road
law concerning traction engines US
ing the State roads, it appears, was
based on misunderstanding of the law
and of the attitude of the State Road
Commission. The law permits the use
of the roads by traction engines, provid-
ed the wheels are covered with a band
to protect the surface of the road from
the cleats in the rim of the wheels.
The protest took the form of resolu-
ton in favor of an amendment to the
present law, permitting the. use of the
roads by traction engines, as many far
mers are seriously Inconvenience by
the tie-up of the engines. 1t is under
stood that the State Roads Commission
is willing for traction engines to use
the State roads with the proviso stated.

The farmers of Howard county
and liverymen of Ellicott City have lost
valuable horses and cattle. which they
attribute to the condition of the corn
which was harvested throughout How
ard county the past fall and fed to the
animals. Several who have purchased
corn in large quantities in Ellicott
City and whose horses have become
sick, and in some instances died, state
that the corn looks perfect on the cob,
but when examined the grain is found
to be musty or rotten at the heart.
This condition of the corn, some of the
farmers state, was caused by the drouth
which occurred in Howard last sum-
mer just as the corn was about to ma
ture. The milk in the corn failed to
dry thoroughly. A severe windstorm
which passed over the county last
August blew down the corn, loosened
the roots and exposed them to the sun.
Some give as another cause the wet,
sultry weather during the fall, before
the corn was husked.

WHY RATES SHOULD NOT Be

ON MARCH 4.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. S.-"We believe
the telephone companies of MISSISSIPPI

services; maybe we are mistaken; at
any rate, we want an opportunity to
find out"
That is the explanation offered by
Railroad Commissioner George X. Ed

commission late yesterday afternoon

phones and messages should not be

The resolution was unanimously
adopted as offered. In speaking of
the resolution, Mr.. Edwards stated
that the commission did not want to
do any injustice to any person or
company connected with the tele-
phone business, but that the members
of the body had determined to make
a full investigation of rates, and to
ascertain whether there was Justice
In their opinion that at the present
time they were too high.
Every person and company owning
telephone lines in this state is includ-
ed in this resolution, whether local
or foreign" said Mr.. Edwards.
The resolution in full, as adopted,
is as follows:
Whereas it is the opinion of the
members of the Mississippi railroad
commission that the rates charged
BY the different telephone companies
doing business in the state are higher
than the service rendered justifies:
and
Whereas under the law the commits
sion may on its own initiative act in
said matters and fix said charges with

public reasonable rates, without doing
INJUSTICE to the companies operating
said public utilities; and,
Whereas to act intelligently in
said matters, and to prevent injustice
o any of the parties and corporations
concerned it is necessary to have
rearing on said matters, as to the
mount of capital invested and the
xpenses of operating, and other mat
ers;
