LOUISIANA WINS
TAP LINE CASE
TRUNK LINE RAILROAD MUST
PAY OUT $25,0o0,O00 ON
COURTS ORDER.
w..t.,n N.v,n,ner Union Now, serviee.

Western Newspaper Union News Serviee.
Washingt0n.-The Federal Supreme
Court decided the tap line cases IN
favor of Louisiana and the tap lines.
The decision means much to parts OF
the country other than Louisiana. 1t
means that the trunk line railroads OF
the country must pay out at least
$685. 00, 600, which, until Associate JUS
tice Day read his opinion. there wa
reason to believe they would be allow
ed to keep in their treasures.
The trunk lines in Louisiana, Missis'
sippi, Missouri, Texas and Arkansas
must pay over to the tap lines. owned
by the big numbering interests Of
those states, about $10,o0o.o 900, which
is the sum they have kept away from
the tap lines during the period since
the commission made its decision that
the tap lines are mere plant facilities
and, as to lumber and logs produced
by the lumber companies that own
them, common carriers entitled to
participate in the division Of through
rates.
It is considered a big victory for A.
sistant Attorney General w. NJ. Bar.
row, for Senator.elect Broussard. to
| whose efforts are due the orders on
which the cases were taken to the
courts, and to Luther Walter. attorney
for Louisiana in the Shreveport case
still pending in the Supreme Court.
This decision makes it necessary
for the commission to retrace the steps
it took in deciding that the short roads
built by big industrial corporations in
the North, especially by the steel
trust, are not entitled to any part OF
through rates paid on freight produced
by the plants the owners Of which are
also stockholders and possibly the
uhly 0Ees, nj The so-cailed industrial
roads.
It means that the $15,000,0o0 which
the trunk lines that have asked for q
S per cent advance In freight rates Ia
the territory north Of the Ohio and Pc
tomac and east Of the Mississippi were
to retain by reason Of the commissioni

State Superintendent ducation
Harris, in his report to hi stature,
suggested a reorganiza son he edu-

Board of Education, and the rol of
educational institutions. Re, enta-
tive Delos R. Johnson chat, I OF
the House Committee Of Education,
subsequently took the matter up and
discussed it with the governor and
others. Several legislators. dnclud-
ing members Of both houses, also dis
cussed it with the governor.
In these discussions the governor
informed them that he would favor a
feasible plan for consolidation of the
| educational institutions under one
board. He pointed out, however, that
such a plan would make 1t necessary
to provide for a salaried board. He
expressed opposition to a board elect
ed by parish superintendent and ia
vored appointment of the board by the
governor.
In discussions Of the problem, the
governor pointed out that his position
is entirely neutral; that If the Legis
lature felt competent to undertake the
reform at this session and a feasible
plan could be evolved he would ia
vor It; and. on the other hand, If the
Legislature felt more time and study
should be given to the matter, a ster

MOVE TO SQUELCH
SPEECH MAKERS
GAG FOR SENsA1lONALiS1S WHO
CONSUME TIME OF
LEGISLATURE.
we.t.rn nex.n,p.r Union New, service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baton Rouge.-A determined effort
to squelch the speech makers and the
sensationalists who consume hours OF
legislative time at the outset Of busi-
ness is being made In the Legisla-
ture. The movement will have the
sympathy of the administration, it Is
said. The House, during the second
week, almost degenerated into an end
less squabble, delaying legislation Of
prime importance. Sentiment against
that kind of time killing was growing
Friday, and with a little organization
1t can be turned into an effective ma
chine for the suppression Of that
rather costly nuisance.
The two biggest problems this Legis-
lature has to solve it has not yet Sc
riously undertaken.
The first is to make the very mea-
ger revenues of the next two years
meet the needs of the State instttu.
tons and departments. To those who
have given a little study to this prob
lem it looks like the Legislature Is
between a bond issue or one hand
and crippled State activities on the
other.
The second problem is that Of some
reform of the States fiscal system, so
as to better equalize the burden Of tax
alton throughout the state, and at the
same time bring about an Increase IN
the states resources. The annual reve'
nuee under the present scheme Of
things are approximately 100000 q
year short of what Is necessary to
properly maintain all Of the govern
mental activities now demanded Of the
state by its citizens. This estimate Il
based on a cerful calculation.
