HUSTIS TAKES CHARGE OF
CAPE CANAD FOR McADOO

Boston, July 25.-James H. Hus-
tbs, district director Of railroads went
to Buzzards Bay last night to take
over the direction of the Cape Cod
Canal in accordance with the procla-
nation of President Wilson, which
becomes Immediately effective. Mr.
c. Wright, assistant director, divi-
sion of operation of the federal rail-
road administration, J. J. Storrow,
New England fuel administrator, and
Arthur L. Crowley, agent Of the
United States shipping board, who
will confer with officers of the canal
company regarding plans for the
utilization of the waterway to it's
capacity.

discussed, among them that employed
by the railroad administration, as the
basis of return to owners of the rail-
road lines. Though the railroad rental
agreement is still hanging fire, COM
pensation will be based upon the last
three pre-war years earnings.
The committee is not ready to de-
eide this without further study. 1t is
expected that analysis of these years
will show big profits.
The question of compensation will
be taken up with the owners at a con-
ference to be called in Washington
early in August.
Following the meeting, it was stated
that no drastic move would be made
toward coordination of the functions
of the postal service and of the tele-
graph and telephone lines. Tt is
known however that a number of
economies and changes designed 70
bring greater service and convenience
to the public are already under con-
sideration. These include the delivery
OF night messages and letters by let
ter carrier with the first mail deliv-
cries In the morning, and the use Of
all postal stations in cities as telegraph
stations for receiving messages. Mes
sengers will take them to the tele-
graph offices. Later these postal sta
tons may be used as sub-wire sta
lions to expedite deliveries where need
of such service is shown.
The question of making the various
post offices of the country depositaries
for telegraph and telephone funds has
also been given consideration. Such a.
move would mean the loss of large de-
posts by certain of the big banks Of
the country, but the funds ultimately
would be distributed to the banks
through the treasury.

BILLS PASSED
by Assembly We're varied--Appro'
priatlons Exceed slyOOOyOOO Marx
and Set Up New State
Record.

Frankfort, KY, March 21-The Ken
lucky General Assembly which set the
precedent last night Of adjourning be-
fore II became necessary to turn the
hands OF the clock back, accomplish
ed an amazing programme OF legisla-
ton.
Following up the experience OF the
State Tan Commission since the spe-
cial session, II enacted probably a
score of measures designed to clarity
the laws and improve the system In
details, besides raising the standard
as well as pay Of local assessing Off
GERS and making them eligible for re-
election, adopting the budget system
Of State finance and apportioning the
tax levy, instead Of appropriating
money out Of the general fund for the
support of the educational institu-
tons.
Three big road laws were enacted
apportioning the State-aid fund so
that small counties will receive a
proportionately larger aid without re-
ducing the annual apportionment Of
larger counties, requiring State-aid
roads to be maintained at standard
and regulating the weight to be haul
ed on the highways to the width Of
tires.
The candidates for admission to the
bar now will have to stand an ex-
animation before a Court of Appeals
Commission.
While the General Assembly had 1t
done nothing else might have gone
down into history as the "millon-dol-
lar" Legislature, by reason of the
large number Of appropriations ne
cessitated by the niggardly policy Of
the last eight years, the fact remains
that in the Senate where the bills
originated, Senator Helm, chairman
of the Appropriations Committee,
held up every measure until he had
them all before him, they were total
ed and scaled down two-thirds o.
their aggregate and the General AS
sembly, which adopted the budget sys
TEN of appropriations for the future
actually put it into practice.
Appropriations aggregate s1,15O,
900.
Much of the big legislation had tC
do with perfecting the tax system. A
budget was adopted, the tax levy ap-
portioned and County Assessors, now
known as Tax Commissioners. are
given half again as much pay and
qualifications are required for the Of
fee, to which they can be reelected.
A dozen other bills concerned with
the details of assessments were pass
ed.
Two constitutional amendments are
submitted to the people at the 1919
election. One is Statewide prohibi-
ton and the other empowers the Leg
stature to pass laws providing for
the removal of peace officers and
Judges failing to protect their pris-
oners from mobs.

REAPING WHAT SHE SOWS.

There is a delightful flavor of re-
tributive justice in the report that
the Russian Bolsheviki have threat
ened wholesale massacre OF Ger
mans in their power if the Kaiser I'M
dertakes to carry out his threats to
resume war and march on PetrograG.
Recent events in Finland, Moscow,
the Ukraine and in Petrograd Itself
have shown that the Red Guard nave
passion for Staying when Their
anger is aroused by opposition. They
have killed thousands Of their TEL
low-countrymen. Why hesitate at a
lot of Germans and Austrians if they
are attacked and menaced by an m
vader?
As the Philadelphia Record says,
this would be but a repetition OF
Teutonic tactics in Belgium and
northern France. In their first rush
in 1914 the Germans seized thousands
of innocent persons, who were held
nominally as hostages for the COCA
behavior of the inhabitants. As u
lesson in frightfulness and to Impress
upon Belgians the awful might Of
German arms and kultur these unor-
Tending people, men, women ana
children, were shot down in patches.
Not since the Middle Ages had such
shocking brutality and cruelty III
warfare been shown. Even among the
German officers there were some who
revolted against this slaughter of Inc
innocent.
Now the Teutons themselves are
menaced with similar fate. There
are several million of them in Rus
STA. either prisoners of war or resi-
dents, and the Bolsheviki are quite
capable of putting them to the sword.
This would be monstrous procedure,
but it would have more justification
than the abominable crimes of the
Germans in Belgium. Possibly the
Kaiser will take second thought
before he plans a campaign in imi.a-
ton of Napoleon and starts his SOL
diers toward Moscow or Petrograd.

MAY INCREASE TAXES.

I,ate Legislation Afraid of Demands
Upon the Treasury
Instead of there being a reduction
II the state tax rate the indications
are that there will be an increase by
the time the session of the general
assembly comes to an end. This IS
tho talk that is being whispered
around the capitol by men who are
more or less acquainted with the dis
ccssions which have been and are
taking place in the rooms OF the
finance committee.
Reasons for the increase are pat"
crit. Teachers in the public schools
ere unaerpaid and overworked, it IS
said; the best of them are quitting
that service and entering other and
more remunerativc lines. The new
teachers are not coming to the front
commensurate with the demands for
their services. Then there is the mat
ter of improving the highways. The
state is committed to that policy.
This may require not less than ten
per cent increase in the taxes, and
the same sum may be required to pro-
vide for the school teachers.
Then there is the three-cant levy
On all property for the tuberculosis
fight. That makes total of twenty
three cents This money will have to
come from source that will fall On
the people generally. The senate has
craered that fifteen cents on intangi-
bics be taken from the state FINDS
and given over to the localities, but
that does not mean saving. The
S350,O00 from this source may have
10 be met by an increase in the tax
rate.
While the cities get the benefit OF
the fifteen cent change from the state
20 the localities, the fact is that the
money may have to be raised in an
ether way-and the people may have
20 pay the difference. Long-headed
business men on the finance commit
etc are thinking over the matter, and
tee are thinking over the matter, and
the situation They do not want to
increase the tax rate, yet they see no
way to escape it, they say, if the
money for the purposes stated and
expected is to be provided.

they are putting all their VIII anu
strength into the task.
Occasionally, they are distu bed by
the passage overhead of German ar
scouts, who display great curiosity
concerning what was proceeding be-
hind the allied lines. These alrnen
were sometimes very daring, and then
the air would be filled with balls OF
smoke as the Allied shells burst
along their path.
On the actual front line all was
acute watchfulness and nothing could
turn from his immediate duty amy

gunners kept silent and tense look
out FOR anv enemy movement, while
especially selected observers recorded
the fall and explosion Of American
shells from the batteries stationed
far in the rear, which from time to
time pounded the German positions
with remarkable accuracy. When an
alarm was given the gunners, who
had been resting in underground dug
outs. had taken their stations and
had their weapons laid on the Ger
man positions assigned ready to fire
within Is seconds. The range and
timing were wonderfully correct.
