Des Moines, Sept. 30.-Attack on
the constitutionality of the law for af-
fording aid to railroads for electrify-
Ing was given short consideration in
the supreme court decision affecting
the Charles City Western railroad. A
number. of objections were raised to
the law bu. the court found none of
them of sufficient force TO compel the
court to overturn the decisions of the
legislative body. Neither did the court
care to- interfere with the decision of
| the people directly interested and stop
their plans to n.lp the railroad.
The tax is not for the cost of the
Improvement" said the court, "but in
aid of the establishment of a highway
and the entire burden is not thrown
upon those specially benefited. Within
the Ave mile limit all the lands may
be taxed at a fiat rate. and this, as it
seems to US. is within the powers of
the legislature"

to electrify the old line from Marble
Rock to Charles City and build a. new

under law of the Thirty fifth general
assembly. tax aid was voted by a

court held the law valid and the tax
properly voted Collection of about

Bridge Monopoly Suit.
Attorneys for the defense hope to
get before the federal court early this
fall the case pending here involving
the concrete bridge monopoly patents.
The office of attorney general has been
hard at work on this case, in conjunc-
ton with lawyers in other states, for
several months. Practically all the
evidence on both sides has now been
taken. tho of course substantially all
The evidence was for the defense, since
the case is an attack on patents and
the only thing in the case is whether
or not there was common use of the
made for patents.
A number of cases have been tried,
in different parts OF the country. in
or to prevent use of common devices
or plans for bridges: but thus far no
case has ever come to finish involving
the life of the patents so that the
courts can pass squarely on the main
issue. There are pending in a num-
Der Of states cases that raise the main
Issue. The one here will probably be
the one 10 make the final test in the
United States sureme court. 1t was
brought here because. while it in
wolves an alleged infringement in Min
nesota, it involves defendant located

Until the case is finally carried thru
all the courts there will be no real
establishment of the rights of the own
ers of the long list Of patents and
bridge builders not only in Iowa but
in every state will continue to be in
doubt as to their right to construct
concrete bridges.

This is the old British Convict

half Of the last century.
Built in 1880, at Moulmain, by
the old Pagoda docking eastward to
the sea-" the Success" is now 1913
years old. No ship of anything like
her great age today is seaworthy,
yet this old hulk under her own sail
has succeeded in crossing the Allan
tic her time of So days, however,
creating no new record.
Massively built throughout of SOL
id Burman teak, the Success" was
first launched as an armed Fast In
dia merchantmen with beautiful
brass guns bristling from her sides
and fitted handsomely for the recep-
ton of princes, nabobs and the
wealthy traders Of the Orient, whose
goods, spices, aromatic teas, worries,
jewels and other costly luXuries she
carried over the seven seas to, the
ends of the Garth. Her tonnage is
$50, and she is 1875 feet long and %
feet BEAM Her solid sides are two
feet six inches at the bilge, and her
