WELLS-FARGO WILL APPEAL
Motion For New Trial OF Humboldt
County Suit IL Denied

Winnemucca Star: The motion
of the defendant for a new trial in
the case of Humboldt County against
the Wells-Fargo Express Company
was argued before Judge Quicker
Monday, the county being represent
ed by District Attorney Callahan and
the express company by L. A. Glib
bons of Reno.
The motion for a new trial was de-
MED and it is understood that the
Ease will be appealed to the Supreme
Court.
This case is a suit for Wells-Fargo
taxes in Humboldt County for the
year 1910. The Ease was tried here
before Judge Quicker, who recently
rendered a decision in favor of the
county.
The express company refused to pay
the taxes assessed to it in the various
counties of the State in 1910 and has
not paid its taxes any year since that
time. The company's contention is
that the taxes are excessive.
The Humboldt County case will
decide whether or not Wells-Fargo
must pay the taxes assessed to it in
all the counties in which itdoes bust
ness, for the past four years. A large
sum of money is involved and the
suit is a very important one to the
State.

WANTS STATE SCHOOL

Times.Picayune:
The establishment of a state agri.
cultural and mechanical college ct
Jackson Is provided for in bill that
will be introduced in the House by
Representative Caulfield of East Fe.
liciana. The bill provides that the
state shall take over the buildings and
grounds Of the old Centenary College
at Jackson, and use them for the new
college.
Mr.. Caulfield spent last Saturday ut
Jackson, and, accompanied by q com.
mittee of citizens, examined the Cen.
tenary College buildings, with the view
of estimating the cost of repairs. The
committee estimated that SGT, 600 would
place the main cottages and the mess
hall in first-class condition. The other
estimated expenditures are: Fence
around the eighty acres of land, $1,000;
connection of the water system with
the insane asylum plant, $500; connec-
ton of the lighting system with the
insane asylum plant, $500; barn and
other out-houses, $1,000; sanitary FIX.
lures and plumbing, $500; furniture,
bedding, ETC., $1,000; total, $4,000.
These expenditures" Mr.. Caulfeld
said, will put the institution In shape
where it could not be duplicated for
$225,OOO. The college will have a dor
mitory capacity for 1872 students at the
beginning. Attached to the college
property is an eighty-acre tract of land,
fifty acres being cleared, and thirty
acres In pine timber. The timber on
the thirty acres is worth $500. One
thousand acres of land adjoining the
college can be bought for $12 per acre."
Mr.. Caulfield's plan is to maintain q
state agricultural and mechanical col
lege, separate from the State Univer.
sity at Baton Rouge.
A delegation from Jackson will come
to Baton Rouge and press the Caulfield
bill. The bill will further add to the
troubles of Baton Rouge. which already
has hard fight on it's hand In the con-
test with Alexandria over the location
OF the state capital.

from the construction of levees and

I have and shall continue to work to
secure adequate and ample relief for

SUPT. SMITH WRITES
ABOUT THE SCHOOLS
True Democrat:

true Democrat:
Before leaving the parish of West
Feliciana, / wish to give the people of
the parish resume of my work as
superintendent of public education.
Coming into the parish during the
time of hard financial conditions,
found many things that hindered me
in my work. Under the circumstances,
the school work throughout the par
ish was as good as it could possibly
have been.
My attention was first turned to the
needs of the local high school, the
parish high school it might be called,
since students from every point in the
parish are enrolled there. This high
school has splendid reputation with
the remaining schools in the state
The literary work that is offered is far
above the average. But previous to
this year, no work along the industrial
line had been offered at ALL With less
funds than the board had last year, we
established a home economics depart
ment, a manual training department
and thoroughly modern outdoor
gymnasium. An additional teacher was
added to the faculty to teach domestic
science, but the lack of funds prevent
ed our employing teacher for manual
training. gladly taught this work
after | had received the unanimous
consent of the parish school board. 1t
is well-known fact that took three
days of the week to teach this work,
the other two days being devoted
either to Office work or to the super
vision of the rural schools. / have
been criticized for my so-called par
TALLY to the julius Freyhan High
School. Some have said that the coun-
try schools have been neglected, but
am of the very honest opinion that
rural schools can receive too much
supervision, and that the time / spent
in the high school was of more lasting
good than my too-frequent trips to the
country would have been.
So far as | can learn, the rural
schools are doing work equal to the
work done in any session of the past.
The Star Hill school has just COM
pleted the most successful session in
the history of the school. Wakefield,
the location of so many former school
disturbances, has had a most success
full year. Thanks to the manual train
ing boys of the high school, the Wake
field school building has been tho
roughly painted. (Paint was never a
popular article in the schools before.)
There has been no trouble in the
schools where peace has reigned here
tofore. The schools that have had
trouble have been accustomed to that
thing in the past.
Again, to turn our attention to the
high school, the parish board member
from the first ward has stated that the
school is in the worst condition that it
has ever been; that the teachers are
not doing their work properly; that
there is no discipline in the school;
that Mr.. Bliss is no principal; that
Miss Dixon is no English teacher; in
fact, he has commented bitterly on the
work of the school in general. Mr..
Board-member bases his argument on
the fact that the high school did not

WHY RAILRoADlNG COSTS.
Chicago Public:

What has become of all the savings
that science and invention have made
possible in railroading? The latest
type Of locomotive handles thirty cars
as easily as the earlier types pulled
ten. And each car has capacity four
to eight fold greater than the cars of
thirty years ago. The air-brake and
the automatic coupling have reduced
the train crews per ton until the actual
wage paid for moving a ton of freight
one mile is less-in spite of the rise in
nominal wages-than formerly. What,
then, has become of the gains from
science and invention? Mr.. Mellen, in
his testimony before the Interstate
Commerce Commission at Washington,
is disclosing some of the leaks. Ordi-
nary citizens complain of the advance
'of the price of meat from twenty to
twenty-five cents; but Mr.. Mellen ex-
plains how his road, at the behest of
Mr.. Morgan, paid $35,0O0,0O0 for a
road worth only $5,OOO,O0O That was
an advance worthy of note. 1t Is not
so easy to pay dividends on thirty-five
millions as upon five millions; and to
do so necessitated one of two things:
Either reduction of wages, or an ad-
vance in rates.
If the New Haven case were an
isolated one in fact, instead of in dis
covery, it would have less weight. But
the many reasons pointing in that d.
rection leads to the suspicion that
were the whole truth known this little
transaction would be found to be typi-
cal of vast deal of high financing.
The twenty-five millions of Alton stock
issued by Hartman, leads one to won
der how the Rock Islands $71,297 600
grow to be $192,502,5S0 1t would seem
that other men beside Mr.. Mellen
should have an opportunity to explain.
The roads complain that they must
have more money In order to make
needed improvements, but that they
can not borrow unless they can show
greater earnings; hence, the necessity
for the advance in freight rates. But
while the discrepancy between freight
rates and dividends can be mended by
raising the rates; it can also be cor.
rected by lowering the cost of opera
tion Sixty and seventy-fve thousand
dollars year is pretty nigh salary
for railroad presidents; it is high even
for men who gracefully and willingly
defer to the judgment of Mr.. Morgan.
Whether or not Congress passes
minimum wage law, it might with
profit enact a maximum wage law for
business in which the government is a
recognized partner Private cars, spec
ial service, de luxe trains, all drain the
treasury But worst of all is the water
ed stock. By all means let the investi-
cation 60 on. While the government
is making physical valuation of the
roads, let it also make moral valua-
ton of the men in charge of the roads.

The proposed changes in the primary
election law provides that the parish
pay for printing tickets and not the
state. Both of these are wrong, for
the parish executive committees should
require the candidates to meet the
expense.
