An extension of time was asked ' Attorney Satterfield for fil inl bricts With the commission in willing to agree. but agreed to let the ease stand submitted without briefs.
 w. NJ. Martin. commissioner for the Helena Freight Bureau, in presenting evidence and comparisons of the exist ing rates and conditions applying to Helena and other Mississippi river points. clearly showed an unjust dis crimination against Helena. and which in itself would be conclusive.
 As an illustration of the dscrimina- ton. for instance. the rail lines grant Memphis rate of six cents on grain products from St. Louis, a distance Of 305 miles. and on the same commodity they charge Helena l2 cents, dis tance of 23S miles just double the rate to Memphis and only 33-mile farther haul
 This comparative discrimination exists on practically all of the class and commodity rates into Helena from interstate points and Is shown in detail by exhibits filed in the evi- deuce. together with additional in- formation to hear out the unjust dis crimination which is the contention of this complaint.
 Commissioner Martin, Tn comment ing on the case. stated that while the briefs were not filed as explained by Mir Satterfield. this should not in any way affect the facts that are before the commission in the evidence, but If 1t becomes necessary al later time 10 require brief hefor" satisfactory adjustment is given. it will be forth coming and prepared

BANKER OLIVER TO LOCATE IN LEE

Since his return here from Missis-
sippi, where he went recently to clear
up charges against him and to prove
himself A. D. Oliver and not L. c.
Harding, a twin brother, who adopt
ed that name as a boy, Oliver has
been looking about for some desert
upon which to locate an oasis. He
at first announced that he would
open a bank in Americas, but has
changed his mind and now says that
he will locate in Lee county.
when they had me on the Lee
county changing, unjustly sentenced
for bigamy, a crime l never COM
mitted," he says, 1.-The people there
were good to me. If good to me as
a friendless convict they certainly
will be good to me when | go there
again, this time with my good name
restored and with money to help
build up old Lee. Yes, l will be a
Lee county booster
Mr. Oliver announces his inten-
ton of locating at Smithville and
going into business there. when I
was helping to build that highway
from Smithville to Albany told my
fellow convicts that l would yet live
to ride over that same road in my
own touring car, and l am now ready
for the ride he said.
Oliver claims to have a bunch of
railway bonds that would cause An
dy Carnegie to reduce speed to fiji
teen miles an hour and give him the
road in passing. And he is going to
plant some of these bonds in Smith
Vile soil soon.

AMERICAS COAL KING.
He Owns 10000 Acres in Penmfgl-

coal king of the United

The coal king of the United.
is Josiah V. Thompson of
town, Pa, who owns a total OF $50
900 acres of coal lands in Greene
county. All of it is virgin coal, Mr..
Thompson having no part in any de-
velopment. The value of the prop
erty as it now stands is estimated at
$24,OOO,OO0. 1t is estimated that an
acre of coal is worth when marketed
$4,000, so that this coal baron act
ually has $1,2O0,000 in potential
wealth. For one man to have such
a grasp upon a commodity which is
indispensable to the whole country
seems too one-sided.

FARM BILL HAS PASSED
1T PROVIDES FOR DEMONSTRA-
TONS IN THE TOWNS.
Measure Gives Each
State $40, 900 Annually to Begin
With, and Fund Will Increase.


With, and Fund Will Increase.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The house
agricultural extension bill passed the
senate with amendments today with
out a dissenting vote.
The bill provides for demonstra-
tions on farms of approved methods
and scientific discoveries as to farm
ing and home economics, made in
state agricultural colleges, expert
mental stations and in the federal
department of agriculture. The sec
rotary of agriculture and land grant
agricultural colleges are to outline
plans for carrying out demOnstra-
tiOns.
How Money Is Distributed.
AS agreed to in the senate the bill
would appropriate Internationally
$4,000 annually to each state. In
addition sum of 100000 for the
coming year, with a yearly increase
of 100000 for the next seven years,
would be provided for distribution
among the states on basis Of rural
population, conditioned on each state
appropriating a sum equal to its por-
ton of the federal funds. After sew
en- years the bill would provide a
permanent appropriation of $4,800.-
600 annually.
An amendment requiring that ne
gro colleges be permitted to share in
the funds was defeated by a vote
OF 33 to 23.
The bill was amended, however, as
result of a fight on the race ques-
ton by placing the distribution of
the fund in the hands of the secre-
tary of agriculture and respective
state governor in states having more
than one agricultural college, and al
so specifying against race discrim1-
nation in the demonstration work.
The, bill probably will be consider
ed soon in conference between the
two houses.
1t was fathered by Congressman
Lever of South Carolina and Senator
Smith of Georgia.

Who Pays Taxes?

MY ideas on the tax question
have changed" says a prominent
farmer. Il used to think saloons
paid taxes. They simply collect them
and give worse than nothing in re-
turn. The license money they pay
and that some near-sighted folks
think is such a big thing, comes out
of their customers, every dollar of
it. And then we sober, hard-work-
ing farmers have to pay more taxes
to keep up expenses of courts, pris-
ons, asylums, poor houses and jails
than all the other taxpayers of the
country put together.
