COMMON LAW MARRIAGE NO
GOOD IN FLORIDA

Jacksonville, Oct. THAT the
common law marriage as an institu-
tion is practically eliminated when
1t conflicts with the provisions of the
Mann Federal statute, the socalleo
white slave act. was essentially the
finding of United States Commits
sioner Frank D. Brennan, presiding
at preliminary hearing in THE
case of George Harding, who Monday
was released on a municipal court
charge, only to find himself entan-
gled in the governments meshes.
His bond, which was fixed at $2,5OO,
pending the hearing, was reduced,
however. to $3.50 by the commission
er. Harding, who is a we'll dressed
man of 35 or 40, undeniably we'll
educated, made a desperate effort to
prove that he had lived with the
woman as man and wife for a pc
riod of years, and that he had intro
duced her as his wife to a number
of people; in Providence. r. L.; At
lantic City. N. j.; New York city
and other places.
In summing up, the commissioner
took cognizance of only two facts,
that the two were not married, and
that Harding had transported her
from one State to another as Mrs.
Harding. Both points were practi-
cally established by the defendant
himself.
The woman, who is pretty, and %
years old, was a witness, as she Was
yesterday in police court, when
Harding was first arrested on her
charge that he had annoyed her;
that she sought to rid herself of him,
and could not.

LET REASON GOVERN

Much OF the immediate development
and prosperity of Idaho. especially in
the rural communities, hinges on the
nature of an order soon to be issued
by the Public Utilities Commission
This has to do with rules to govern
The construction of overhead lines for
the transmission and distribution of
electric power and light.
There is grave danger that these
rules may be made so arbitrary as TO
make 1t impracticable to extend pow
er and light lines out into rural COM
munities where there are rapidly
growing demands for them, II other in
terests are permitted to dictate.
1t is proposed by the telephone and
railroad companies to establish rules
of such character as to add heavily
tp the cost of construction. The i'm
mediate result of this added expense
would be to bar out power and light
companies from vast domain of rich
but undeveloped Idaho territory
Rules such as are now demanded
would make 1t impracticable for the
power and light companies to con-
struct rural lines carrying upward of
5000 volts. The country has grown
away from this antequated standard
that II is here proposed to set up. This
is particularly true of the west. 1T
has been demonstrated that line
carrying $500 volts is the most prac-
teal and economical line for small,
outlying districts, and that it is just
as safe as line with a much smaller
voltage
Oregon and Washington have estab-
lished rules permitting the use of
voltage up to $4,000 for rural develop
ment. and this without requiring any
of the special construction now de-
manded by the telephone and railway
interests In Idaho. f
These interests demand . type Of
construction at crossings In this state
