ADDISON COUNTY COURT
{ Continued From Page Z

The case of Sarah F. Mccormack vs..
Joseph P. Mccormack was started
Wednesday morning. This was not a
petition for divorce, but a petition for
separate maintenance. These parties
were married December 5, 1910, and
went at once to Atlanta, Ca, where
the husband was engaged in school
teaching. Later they came to larry
town, N Y, where Mr.. MacCormack
was principal of school. He is now
teaching in New York city at $1,000 a
year. A son was born to the couple in
Middlebury June "a, 1914, and the wife
has remained with her fathers family
here since. 1t was shown on the part
of the defence that MacCormack had
paid out good deal of money for his
wife's support and that he was able
and willing to support her if she would
live where he is employed, which she
has declined to do on the ground of i'll
health.
No judgment has yet been announced
in the case. Thomas W. Moloney of
Rutland was the attorney of record for
Mrs. MacCormack, but was unable to
be in court and her case was conducted
by Judge Donoway. Robert w. Nc
Cuen and L. C. Russell had charge of
the case for Mr.. Mccormack.
The next case was Byron A. Hurl-
burt VS.. Elsie M. Hurlburt of Lincoln.
They were married March %, 1909.
The ground set up was desertion. Jas
per G. Page of Bristol represented the
husband and there was no appearance
for the wife. Judgment was not an
nounced.
At the afternoon session the divorce
case of Truman A. Barnard vs.. Rosie
Belle Barnard was taken up. These
are Lincoln and Ripton parties and the
ground given was adultery. Judge
Charles l. Button appeared for the IL
bellant and the woman was not repre-
scented. No judgment was announced.
n A bill of divorce was granted to Mrs.
Julia Ellis Woods, wife of John D.
Woods, on the ground of intolerable
severity. She was represented by Ira
H. LaFleur. A recess of court was
taken until January II at IA. m.

INCREASE OF CONVICT LABOR
Different System of Using Conviets In
Thirty States.

Different System of Using Conviets In
Thirty States.
Thirty states at the beginning of the
present year had ON their statute books
laws providing for the employment of
state prisoners in road building. Ari-
zoDa, Arkansas. Idaho, Louisiana,
Maryland, Montana, Nevada, New Jer-
sey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Vir-
ginia and Washington follow practical
~ the same system, providing that the
control of this work shall be vested in
the state highway commission. The
highway commission or state engineer
makes requisitiOn to the state prison
authorities for such number of pris-
oners as he can use effectively, and the
prison authorities turn over to him
such prisoners as are suitable for the
road work
The prison commission or board of
control of state institutions is held re-
sponsible for the development of the
convict road work in some nine states
Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Michigan. Missouri, North Dakota,
Oklahoma and Wisconsin. State pris-
S0ners are turned over to the county
authorities to be worked ON the county
roads in Florida. Georgia, North Caro-
lima and South Carolina. This system
is not approved by the national com
mittee on prisons and prison labor.
which holds that the state under no
circumstances is justified in delegating
the responsibility for its convict wards
to county authorities.
The system in New York state di-
vides the responsibility for the con
struction work and maintenance of the
camps between the state highway de-
partment and the commissioners of the
counties in which the roads are to be
built, with the state superintendent Of
prisons in final authority. In Utah.
West Virginia and Wyoming the high
way department and the prison depart
ment cooperate in the control of this
work. The prison department is fully
responsible for the care and discipline
Of the prisoners, while the road depart
ment is called upon to do the work
which 1t is equipped to do. the build
ing of roads.
The committee has found this latter
system essential to the successful de
velopment of convict road work. The
prison department is in a position to
care for the prisoners and to handle
such matters as food, clothing, hous-
ing, medical attention, the affording
Of educational facilities and recreation.

DIXIE HIGHWAY MOVEMENT.
Influence Bids Fair to Bring About Bet.
ter Conditions In the South.

The influence Of the Dixie highway
movement continues to spread until
now it bids fair to bring about mark
ed improvement in road conditions all
over the south. Four new highways
tributary to the Chicago Miami road
already are under consideration.
Immediately after the Dixie highway
plan was established as a certainty a
movement was set ON foot for a south
ern highway, from Chattanooga to
New Orleans. Since then three more
roads have been proposed.
A highway which is looked upon as
being already as good as built is from
Miami westward across the state of
Florida to the gulf coast. A bond issue
Of $1,0OO,O00 soon will be voted, to in
clude the cost of the part of the Dixie
highway near Miami
A second highway is proposed to run
from Miami to Cape Sable, Fla, the
southernmost point of the Atlantic sea
board. Bonds already have been voted
This will carry the Dixie highway from
the great lakes to the gulf of Mexico.
In North Carolina there has been a
revival of a plan made several years
ago and partially executed to build a
road practically across the state Of
North Carolina and into Tennessee.
Since the Dixie highway idea has come
into being the general assembly of
North Carolina has memorialiZed the
general assembly of Tennessee upon
this plan, and the Tennessee legisla-
ture has answered that 1t is ready to
cooperate Mt any time.
In addition the Dixie highway will
cause the construction Of many more
miles of good road, because half a
dozen or more contrasting sections will
put their roads in the best possible
condition as an indncement for obtain
ing the route Of the highway Sections
adjacent TO the contesting territories
are Offering TO build small tributaries
II the Dixie highway will come within
80 or 100 miles of them.

ROuTS AND LAND VALUES.

The building of a great deal of,
well paved roads In Manatee
county, Fla, has shown how
good roads affect land values.
From 1911 to 1912 land along
these roads increased on the
average 500 an acre, while lands
a mile from the road increased
only $40 an acre.
Dinwiddie county, Va, is an
other instructive case. The build
ing of 125 miles of fine roads
caused land adjacent to the
roads to increase in value from
$24.25 to $50 an acre, while
lands ten miles away increased
an average of 1892 an acre.
The state builds the road. and
the landowner sells 1t If he sells
the land. That would look queer
to a man from another planet.
The man miles away is taxed to
build roads, and the people along
the pike get the selling value Of
them. Rather queer. too. when
one thinks of 1t for few min
utes.
The figures are a powerful argu-
ment for good roads and also for
a better way of apportioning the
burdens and benefits.-Farm and

AVOID GRADES IN ROADS.

BY Relocating Many Old Highways
Cost of Hauling Can Be Reduced.
According to a government report.
the average life of horses and automo-
biles may be increased and the cost of
hauling reduced by relocating many
old roads and the more scientific lay
ing out of new ones. The natural ten
dency is to build a straight road.
whether 1t goes over steep grades or
hills or not. Pulling over these grades
naturally adds to the wear and tear on
horses and vehicles
The doctrine Of the government is
that the longest way around may often
be the shortest and most economical

SHORTENS THE HAUL.

BY establishing good roads the
highway becomes an inducement
to the farmer to transport farm
produce in motor trucks, which
make possible more trips to mar
ket each day when the distance
Is not too great. 1t also has the
economic effect of expanding the
farming area from which a city
may draw its produce. By thus
drawing more lands into its gar
den area 1t increases the value Of
those lands and enlarges the sup
ply of produce in the market
This exerts twofold influence
first, by increasing the supply
of produce in the market, and,
second, by reducing the transpor-
tation cost. The logic may be
explained as follows: To make
rough and soft road smooth and
hard is the equivalent to reduc-
ing railroad curve to straight
line-it shortens the haul-for
distance may be shortened as
well by hours and minutes as by
miles.-E. A. Jones, Pennsylva-
MIA.

ON THAT MONTHLY GRANT.
Courts Opinion in Detail in Suit
Against State Auditor.

USo'ISe a
Pierre.-In the application for the
writ Of mandamus brought by J.. II.
Mccoy Of the supreme court against
State Auditor ]. Z. Aandlin, the court
holds that the appropriation OF fifty
dollars a month for expenses of the
supreme court judge is valid and con
stitutional and grants the order re
curing State Auditor Handlin to issue
the warrants.
The opinion is by the court, Justice
Mccoy not sitting, and in summary IS
taken up on the different issues and
answered.
Il. That the writ should be va
Gated, Quashed and set aside, because
plaintiff has a plain, speedy. and ade-
quate remedy in the ordinary course
of law: because. under section 35,
code of civil procedure, plaintiff is
compelled to proceed in an action
against the state and not against the
state auditor.
-. That owing to their interest in
the question involved herein. all
judges of this court are disqualified
from hearing, considering and partici.
| pating in this proceeding.
"3. That said chapter $50 supra Is
unconstitutional. being in conflict with
section IL, article q. and section 80.
article 5, Of the constitution Of this
state. While defendant contends that
plaintiff has a plain, speedy and ade-
quate remedy in the ordinary course
Of law, the only remedy suggested
either in defendants answer or brief
is an action against the state under
section 25 C. G.. P. which action can
be brought in this court only. Thus
we have three questions presented,
az has plaintiff sought the proper
remedy (2) has this court owing to
an interest of its members in the ultl-
mate question raised. the right and
power to consider and determine the
same? 90 is chapter 239, laws OF 1911,
constitutional"
Their to these questions
are.
Il. That it is not only the right,
but the duty Of the judges Of this
court not only under the rule OF nee.
essity recognized by all the court. but
especially under the express provisions
of our state constitution to take jur.
isdiction of and TO decide this case
regardless of any personal interest III
the result thereof.
80. That chapter 239. laws OF 1911,
being clearly what II purports to be,
a law providing for the expense incl.
dent to the office Of supreme Judge
and therefore one which was intended
to save to the judges their salaries
and not to increase their salaries is
constitutional.
"3 That the voucher presented tc
and filed with the defendant on May
4th, 1915, and upon which plaintiff
based his demand for the expense war
rant claimed, was and is in due anl
proper form.
a. That it was the clear II plair
duty of the defendant to issue thu
warrant demanded by the plaintiff.
IS. That the proper and only ade
quate remedy to enforce the perform
ance of this ministerial act is the Writ
demanded by plaintiff
The opinions covers thirty-six pages

reasons and court decisions bearing
upon the questions in issue.
