CARRY CASE TO q. S. COURT
Northern Pacific Goes to Highest Trib-
unal to Test Idaho Corporation
Tax Law.

Idaho must defend her right to levy
and collect corporation license tax
in the United States supreme court.
In the case of the Northern Pacific
Railway company against Wilfred L.
F! Clifford, secretary of state, there has
been filed with the state supreme court,
petition for a writ of error, says the
Boise Statesman.
This is the case in which the North
ern Pacific is opposing the collection
of the corporation license tax levied
and collected under the provisions of
chapter of the law of Idaho for
1912. In the state supreme court the
decision was in favor of the state, and
now the railroad company is appeal
ing to the highest legal tribunal in the
land.
In the petition presented to the
court petition presented by James
E. Babb of Lewiston, acting for the
railroad company, it was prayed
that the Judgment of the state court
be reversed. The jurisdiction of the
state court is brought into question.
1t is insisted that the decision Is in
conflict with the commerce and the
due process of law" clauses of the
federal constitution and the Four
teenth amendments of that instrument.
1t is charged that the state court
erred in holding that it had the right
to collect a license tax on interstate
corporations 1t was insisted that the
Judgment of section of the constitu-
ton of the United States. which pro-
vides that congress shall have power
to regulate commerce between the
states. 1t is pointed out that little or
the business of this railroad company
is local. but that the greater part or
it is commerce among the states, with
foreign countries and with Indian
tribes.
The writ or error was allowed ana
the necessary papers permitting the
appeal were signed by Judge isaac n
Sullivan, acting as chief justice In the
absence of Chief Justice Ailshie.

WANT MONTHLY PENSION
Congressman Smith Urging Govern
ment to Adopt New Plan.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.--Congress-
man Smith of Idaho, is urging the en-
actment of legislation providing fol-
the payment of pensions monthly in
stead of quarterly to the survivors of
the Union Army and their widows.
Mr. Smith contends that the addi-
tional expense required to issue
monthly checks instead of quarterly
is fully warranted in the benefit that
it would be to the defenders of the
government fifty years ago, who are,
in many instances, dependent upon
their pension for support, as there are
but few of them now able to earn
their livelihood

TELLS COLUMBIA
MEN TO co SLOWLY
Perrine Talks on ReStOra-
ton of Football at
University.
By BRIGGS

Harold Perrine, an instructor in
civil engineering at Columbia and an
old Columbia oarsman, advised the un-
dergraduates TO 60 slowly in their agl-
tation for the restoration OF fOotbs IL,
in a letter to "The Columbia Spectator"
Yesterday. Perrine was a student when
the game was abolished at Columbia IN
1905. He Is popular with the under
graduates and his words carried much
weight with them.
His warning in part is as follows;
zone of the chief causes of the abol-
ishment of football at Columbia VIZ
the undue Importance attached TO II
by it's followers, whether players or
spectators. In the season of 1908, when
the sport was on its last legs so to
speak, not a day passed which did not
record O feature story upon Bill Jones's
dislocated knee or the ineligibility OF
John Smith. Whole columns in the
dailies were given over TO description
of the trials undergone by Fullback
So-and-so, occasioned by the rulings
of the committee on athletics. Nat
urally, the authorities were severely
criticised for the rather drastic action
which possibly saved Columbia from
the embarrassment of such disgusting
publicity as has recently been given 10
the petty quarrels Of organized base
ball -,
80. at this time, when the idea that
football may be resumed seems to be
becoming less of a problem the former
Objectionable features must not be FOR
gotten and their renewal must be made
impossible.
"A little care given to the prevention
of an evil is certainly preferable to
the spending of a great deal of time
and worry upon ITS cure. ! wish 10
offer simply as a suggestion orlet
outline of a method of regulation which
, should prove efficient if properly
worked out. In the event of the re-es-
adjustment of intercollegiate football,
a modification of the present scheme
of faculty advisers could readily be ex-
tended to great advantage in manner
which would clear up many OF the
problems of ineligibility otherwise apt
to occur.
ain the university teaching staff there
are many of the younger men who are
thoroughly familiar with the condl.
tions incidental to the building up OF
a team, chiefly through actual expert
ence. ANY of these men, | am sure
being truly loyal in spirit, would be
eager to help in the lettering OF con-
ditions in some tangible way. And so
II the candidates for a team could DC
apportioned in groups Of, say, hYe 20

would make it point to see that tneii
own particular advises stayed eligible
by becoming well acquainted with them
and their work, and, in friendly man.
ner. encouraging them 70 their best
efforts, discouraging careless and neg
lectful academic work, it would hell
football to remain mans game and
not allow it to deteriorate into com

81 hope you will receive this com
munication in the spirit in which II Is
written, for nothing is further from
my mind than the encouragement o.
unwelcome meddling by the teaching
staff In undergraduate affairs"
