Decision In Tap Line
Case.

Washington, May 25.-The FEEDER
al Supreme Court to-day decided the
tap line case IN favor Of Louisiana
and the tap lines. The decision
means much to parts Of the country
other than Louisiana. It means that
the trunk line railroads OF the coun-
try must pay, out at least $25, 900 900
which, until Associate Justice Day
read his opinion, there was reason
to believe they would be allowed to
keep in their treasures.
The trunk lines IN Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, Missouri. Texas and Arkan-
sas must pay over to the tap lines,
owned by the big numbering interests
OF those States, about $4,000, 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 COM
panies that own them. common car
riers entitled to participate in the di-
vision of through rates.

fayors Good Roads.
Covington, May 2S, 1914.
Editor st. Tammany Farmer:

Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
! Dear Sir
Relative to the matter of the pro
posed tax for the purpose Of building
good roads throughout the parish OF
st. Tammany, it has come to my ears
! that some of the opponents of this
tax cite me as being opposed to it.
This probably comes about from the
fact that / criticised the police jury
and the good roads committee for
selling the bonds without sufficient
competition. But, Mr.. Editor, It
would be very short-sighted policy
for me to oppose q project as bene-
fetal as / think good roads would De,
simply because thought one mistake
had been made. In criticising this
particular feature l have tried to
make it plain that ! heartily approx
ed of the movement to secure good
roads and that would allow nothing
that any one could say or do to turn
me against it. While own no auto
mobile, or even horse, and buggy,
to use ON these. proposed good roads,
still am an advocate Of them for
selfish reasons. / firmly believe that
money invested in good roads by the
tax payers Of ST., Tammany parish
will yield q return on the investment
that no business man could ignore,
and being in business and having
confidence in myself, think some
of this returns will come in my, di-
rection. Looking at the matter from
purely selfish motives, believe every
man in the parish of st. Tammany
should support the tax, which will
enhance the value of all property per-
manently, besides will distribute, dur
ing the course of construction, some
100000 in cash throughout our par
ish. The good effects of good roads
are not problematical. Where is the
in which really good
roads have been constructed that
would vote to return to the old cow
paths to which it had been accus-
toned?

BIG BUILDING BOOM
IS NOW ASSURED
Numerous Easements and FOun-
datiOns Starting Every Day
Larger Buildings
CONTINUES TO GROW
Work Never Stopped During Win
ter, but Increases Greatly as
Spring Approaches

Hugo Pfistercr one of the leading
and most up-to-date contractors of
the Cape reports that there never
was time in his knowledge of the
city that prospects were brighter
for building boom than are promised
for this Spring. He states that peo-
pie are going at the work almost the
same as they go about the spring
garden making. On one day this
week II Easements were started,
and every day shows extensive pre-
parations for the construction of new
homes. Several new big business
houses are assured for the present
building season and number of
residence properties, elaborate and
fine are in contemplation. More
buildings for homes were constructed
here this winter than are ordinarily
built in towns of equal size during
the warmer months. The Cape will
grow. Nothing can stop it, and
anything that tries to head us off
will get run over.

A. M. Tinsley, Local Manager Re-
turns to Cape After Strenuous
Campaign

Returns from the election held in
Poplar Bluff last Thursday show that
the Municipal Ownership movement
carried by a vote of almost four to
one, and will apply to the electric
lighting system. The Poplar Bluff
citizens have some experience along
those lines, the waterworks system
being municipality owned. Profting
by that experience they concluded
that the satisfactory results would
apply to the lighting system as well.
Mr.. A. NJ. Tinsley of this city
has been in Poplar Bluff for several
days working in the interest of the
Missouri Public Utilities Co, and
returned to the Cape Friday morning.
Heretofore Mr.. Tinsley has been very
successful in campaigns of this char
acter, and he no doubt feels kcenly
the defeat suffered in this particular

The fact that King George sum

The statement of Premier Asquith
printed in the Times is regarded as
indicating the weakness of the cOun

to discuss the designations of officers
from the army, but the statement OF
the Times is taken as showing a dis
position on the part of the govern
