Fair weather. with continued low tenn

EDITORIAL AROUSES IRE
REPRESENTATIVE Shackelford Lays
Fight on His Bill to
Autoists.

Representative Shackelford of Mis-
souri,, author of the s25.O00oo0 good
roads bill which is at the mercy of the
Senate. having passed the House today,
assailed an editorial recently appearing
in Philadelphia newspaper under the
caption Pork Barrel Politics."
Mr. Shackelford. by a devious method
of reaching a conclusion. informed the
House that the sources from which the
editorial sprang are in the same class
with the polecat and that there is IAN
editorial canning factory" hard at
work supplying sentiment adverse to
the good roads bill.
Representative Shackelford said that
any one could tell that these adverse
editorials came from the same source
because all their headings are alike.
Money to Buy Opinion.
Speaking to the press gallery. he said
that the various so-ca.led good road"
associations, particularly the Automobile
Association of America, are the "edi-
tor.al canning works and that the latter
organization had the money to buy all
the editorial opinion that it wants.
There are two institutions without
which modern civilization cannot exist"
he said .'One Is the public road: the
other the public press. Both should be
kept free from mud. He termed the
editorial comment adverse to his bill as
ed that the real opposition came from
men who are interested in seeing the
federal government pay for the entire
cost Of roads

KILLS OYSTER TAX LAW
Supreme Court of United States
Holds That Maryland Statute
Is Unconstitutional.

The Maryland oyster tax law of 1910
was annulled as unconstitutional today
by the United States Supreme Court.
Justice Lamar IN announcing the court S
opinion said that the operation of the
tax under a previous law showed that
only one third of the amount collected
was used for inspection service by the
state.
The law authorized the collection Of a
tax of 1 per cent per bushel upon all
oysters unioaded from vessels and not
for further sh,l ment by wafer. The law
was attacked by d. E. Foote & Co. on
the ground that the tax was used to de-
fray all expenses of the state fishing
force, and therefore was in conflict with
the constitutional provision. limiting the
levying of duties on imports to an amount
sufficient to meet the expenses of inspec-
tion
