COM MISSIONER SIDES7EPS IN RA1E MAKING
 FOR J|TS
Out Of Their Jurisdiction, Says Cole. No Terminals Or Schedules, So Not Common Carriers
SPEEDING, OVERLOAD.
 ING TO BE REGULATED
Complaints Mostly Referred To County And City; Must Protect Licensed Busses From Teachers

lntercity auto stages, operating be- tween Bisbee, Douglas and other cities may have to curtail bit of their speed and limit their passenger capacity. but their rates will be un- molested for the present, according to A. w. Cole, sitting for the state cor poration commission in the city coun- cil chambers yesterday afternoon.
 Commissioner Cole doubts the com missions jurisdiction to regulate rates, and said further, it was unnecessary at present as the competition was keeping the prices at sufficiently low levels
 Just what the speed limit or the passenger limits may be, Commission CT Cole said would not be made pub lie for two weeks. during which time the entire commission would confer upon the question.
 The meeting was entirely informal. Commissioner Cole inviting all who wished to make a statement on the question to do so. W. B. Cleary. one of the first and most frequent speak CTS upon the floor. held that the com missions jurisdiction applied only 10 common carriers. and as the stages enjoyed no special rights or privileges granted them by municipality or state. they could not be regulated.
 "The commission of Illinois. with far greater power than Arizona's. has held that stage busses could be regul- ated only where there were fixed schedules and terminals" said Cleary, adding that no such schedules or terminals were in eXistarce here.
 Commissioner Cole agreed in part with Cleary, adding that the commis- sion's only thought in the hearing is to promote the safety and convent ence of the public.

 TO TURN OVER ROADS
First Chief Is Understood To Be Ready To Grant Use Of
 Railroads For American
 Troops to Leave Chihuahua

FL PASO. Teaxs, April 21.-it was unofiicially stated in JuareZ tonight that General CarranZa would in all probability place the Mexican rail roads at the disposal of General Per shing if the expeditionary force was withdrawn.
 General Gavira. the JuareZ comman- der. while declining to make a defi- that the use of the railroads for the withdrawal of, American troops would not be regarded unfavorably by the Carranza government.
 "The decision on such a step" he said. rests solely with General Car ranza and his advisors, and il would not be proper for me to express my views. However. I feel sure that our government will do everything in it's power to maintain the friendship be- tween Mexico and the United States and will take any steps which is com patible with the dignity of the Mexican nation. To have given the railroads to the American troops entering Mex ico would have been step which would undoubtedly have been deeply bN Ait AhtAiNdll HFOPi' ONN to permit them to use the railroad to cave Mexico would be a very different matter. Mexico has warm regard for President Wilson and believes that he is atrue friend of our republic"
 Mexican officials here and in Juarez are keenly interested in the coming
 conference between General Scott and General Funston at San Antonio. The yare convinced that on this sub ject hinges the decision as tO the withdrawal of the American troops and they make no secret of their anX- iety that such a withdrawal should be ordered. The opinion is frankly eX- pressed that every additional day that the American columns remain in Mex, ico seriously increases. the danger of an outbreak on the part of the peo. pie which might have the grayest con seQuenceS

UP TRAIN AGAIN HELD UP BY
 SOLITARY
 BANDIT
Lone Robber Forces Train
 Guard To March Through Observation Car, Relieving Passengers of Valuables
(By Review Leased Wire. ,

RAWLINS, WYO.. April 21.-Union Pacific passenger No. 21 was held up by lone bandit west of Henna, Wyo. earl ytonight. After compelling the train guard to take up a collection from the passengers in the observation car, the bandit compelled the brake man to receive the valuables of pas sengers in one of the two sleepers. As the train approached Edison. Wyo.. the bandit dropped from the train and ran towards the hills.
 The bandit, who is believed by the railroad officials to be the same man who recently committed two similar crimes in this section, is thought to haveboarded the train at Greeley, CoI.
 After engaging the guard in conver- sation for about an hour and half, the bandit drew two guns. The pas sengers of the observation car drop ped their valuables into a hat held by. the guard who then was compelled to accompany the bandit through the first sleeper, where none of the pas sengers were molested.
 Reaching the last sleeper, the brake man was pressed into service. After ;Ee valuables were col!ectea, the guard and brakement, both of whom were kept under cover, were dismiss ed As the bandit leaped from the rapidly running train he rolled down the embankment. regaine1 his feet and disappeared into the hills of the country.
 A special train with sheriff5s posse left immediately tc take up the chase from Edson.
 Four hundred dollars is said to have been the booty secured. III ad- dition a gold watch was taken.
 When the robber had finished his task. he engaged the conductor in conversation. If you will stop the train I'll leave you here; otherwise I'll go on into Rawlings with you"
 As the train slackened speed to enter the Edson tunnel the robber dropped to the ground.
 Before leaving he handed the con ductor watch. Here's the one got in my last hold-up and which 1 promised to return this time"
 A similar gift was rendered the DOT ter by the bandit who on April held up the Union Pacific Overland Limited al Corlett Junction.

Maine Back in the Fold.

The Pine Tree State, after being
in the democratic column for the past
four years-four years ago because
of rigid enforcement of the prohibit
tory laf and a resubmission move
ment, and two years ago because of
the progressive vote, has returned to
the republican party in the nations
hour of need. To be sure the plural
ity was not large as compared with
republican pluralities in other years,
but it is significant of the trend of
the mind of the American voters when
it is taken into consideration that the
democrats have waged their hardest
fight in the state which is called the
index of the nation.
1t is credit to Mr.. Hughes that he
could go into Maine, fortified during
the last four years with every posi-
BILE kind of patronage by the demo-
Gratis, and win out, for it is practically
a victory for the presidential nominee.
1t was the first election in Maine in
many years from which the rum issue
was missing, and while hard-fought
for several weeks was clean contest.
A clean man won.

Federal Inheritance Tax.

The democratic emergency revenue
bill passed by Congress this week
provides a federal inheritance tax to
be assessed on the transfer of the net
estate of descendants dying after the
passage of the act. The rates are as
follows:
One per cent of the amount of such
net estates not in excess of $4,000;
two per cent $4,000 to $15O,OOO;
three per cent $15O.OOO to $25O.OOO;
four per cent s25O,OOO to $45O.OOO;
five per cent $45O.OOO to $1,000, 900;
six per cent on $1,OOO,O00 to $1,000
900; seven per cent on 100000 to
$3,OOO,OOO; eight per cent $4,000 900
to 100000; nine per cent $4,000
900 to $5.OOO,OOO; ten per cent on the
amount by which such estate ex-
ceeds 100000.
Such a tax added to the inherit
ance taxes assessed by the states
makes the taxation of estates rather
burdensome. 1t seems to us an in
vasion of the legitimate revenue field
Of a state. 1t restricts the state from
increasing it's rates upon inheritance
because the state and federal gov
eminent together are very near the
border line of confiscating a per-
sons property at death. This I'M
wise and unjust policy might easily
have been avoided by adopting the
republican method of raising revenue
on foreign goods brought here in
competition with American labor and
capital. But of course the democrats
would not so acknowledge the weak
ness and failure of their policy.
