SHOWS VALUA-
 TON FOR K. (. 5.
Interstate Commerce Commission in Report Shows the Valuation of
 Kansas City Southern.

Washington. Nov. 27.-The Inter- state Commerce Commission report to- day on valuation of the Kansas City Southern Railway shows that the road, capitalized at s99,O53,OOO, including $51 100000 in stock and $48,O52 900 of unmatured funded bonded debt, could be reproduced new for $46. .274,363, or reproduced less depreciation for $38,- 258.9O9.
 The report makes no inventory of roadbed and structures abandoned by relocation of line and grade, of which there is considerable. The original cost of the road to date, the report says.
 Excellent motive power and other equipment have been provided, the re- port says, and while the property has not recovered from the results of it's earlier management, it has come to be one of the substantial and effective roads of the country.
 The estimated cost of reproduction of the railroad includes equipment, but does not include an estimate of $2,- 5OO,OO0 for land, $2,7OO,OOO for mate- rials and supplies, and a comparative ly small sum for assessments for pub lice improvements. The report says that the record of the Kansas City. Pittsburgh and Gulf, a subsidiary, ap- parently shows that $45.279 900 in se- curities were issued against an actual money outlay of $15,288,751.

MANY WANT
 SPEAKERSHIP
Several Candidates Have Entered the Race; Many Questions Placed
 Before General Assembly.

 The contest for the Speakership in the next House is becoming little warm. The Legislature will be in session al- most before we are aware. There is 2 larger field of aspirants for gavel hon. ors than usual, and it is not likely there will be much thinning out until the caucuses are opened the week pro- ceding the converting of the General Assembly. In the meantime. other lightning rods may be raised in the hope that the lightning will strike. , Avowed candidates fo the speaker ship include, Lee Cazort, w. B. Brooks, Joe Johnson, T. s. Osborne, Brooks Norfeet, U. A. Gentry, and J. D. Doyle, while receptive candidates are Louis Josephs, Ben McFerrin, and John A. Riggs. Those whose names are omitt- ed from this list are privileged to add them withiut extra cost.
 In the Senate there is an even larg- CT field, in proportion, and it has not progressed far enough to hazard a guess as to the leader,-in fact, it is rather an unsafe plan to make any predictions in such cases, and those who profess to know just what is going to happen should be required to take out prophets license.
 Big Questions Before Bodies.
 Undoubtedly, the big question that will come before the Legislature, as it has been coming before every General Assembly for many years, and will continue to come until it is solved, is that of revenue. There are three courses to be pursued; the tax rate must be raised. expenditures must be curtailed or additional sources of rev. enue must be provided. The aggre- gate tax rate cannot be raised under the present constitution, although it stae is growing rapidly, more de- mands arc being made upon it, and its material welfare prohibits radical reduction in expenditures, although rigid economy is both desirable and an evidence of business acumen. No one doubts but that there is much as- taxable property that does not appear on the tax books. Some will probably suggest "tax ferret" for each county, loh hoc fh1 hO1n taf fa awaits the plans that will be submitted by Governor Brough.
 Many Seeks Locations.
 As the time for the changes to be made in state offices approaches, those who are about to retire are making other arrangements for their future.
 It is announced that Dr. M. F. Dick inson, who retires as State Auditor, will return to Green county and re- sume the practice of medicine.
 Earle w. Hodges, who will retire as Secretary of State, has former part rership with W.-Hix Mallory in the life insurance business.
 Gov. Geo. w. Hays has not definit- ely announced his plans, but it is un- derstood that he will remain in Little Rock and engage in the practice of law.

CITY MAY HAVE TO HUSTLE FOR
 LIGHT IN PARKS
Baltimore Company Likely to Refuse Renewal of
 Small Contract

The city of Bridgeport is likely to establish it's own lighting plant in a small way if the American Street Lighting Co.,, which has heretofore contracted for lights in Seaside park decides not to renew the present con- tract which expires April 1.
 It is believed that the loss of much light in Bridgeport streets, through a new contract being made with the United Illuminating Co.,, will influence the American Street Lighting Go. to abandon the smaller one with the park commissioners.
 In such an event, President George Flames of the park board said today that there will be no alternative at this time but for the city to maintain it's own lighting system in the parks where the erection of telegraph poles to carry arc lights would be unSight1y.
 E'Of course we would like to have underground conduits along the park drives and walks, but the question of money and appropriations is of course a serious one. We would not care to erect poles to string wires because they are unsightly and at the present time there will be no money for con duits.
 We will, therefore, probably have to use the equipment we now have in Seaside park and have our own staff of men fill and clean the 1ampsy
 '"The contract with the lighting company expires April 1. have writ ten to the company asking if it wishes to renew the contract but have re- ceived no reply"
 The present lighting system in the park is a gasoline one. The tank is filled at stated intervals and a heat generated gas is burned inside an in candescent mantle. z The contract between the American Street Lighting Go. and the park board was for one year and independ- ent of the contracts for street lighting with the city, which ran for five year periods, although the price was the same in both.

TIRPITZ CAMPAIGN ON SUBMARINES APPROVED
 BY PEOPLE, SAY PRINTS
Papers Telling Apprehension Over Admirals Retirement and Demanding Ruthless Pol icy-Support of Socialists Gives HOlweg Control:

Berlin, March 23-An "overwheln- ing majority of the German people are on the side of Admiral von Tirpitz in favoring a ruthless prosecution of the submarine war, according to a manifesto which four leading news papers-the Agrarian Tageszeitung, the National Liberal Taegliche Rund- schau, the Kreutzzeitung and the Post published yesterday on their front pages, calling for debate on the reso- 1utions inquiri11g into thee onduct of the war.
 Simultaneously with this publica- tion it has become known that peti- tions appealing to the government to give the widest latitude to the subma- rine campaign and to press it ener- getically are being circulated every where among the people.
 On the other hand, the Social Demo- cratic members of the Reichstag have shown that they will stand with the Radicals and Centrists in supporting the Chancellor. These parties to- gether constitute a majority of the Reichstag, and present indications are that they will prevent discussion of ther esolutions in open session. The Chancellor will address the Reichstag within a week. but it is not considered probable that he will allude to the submarine question.
