money from our last bond issue set

forts to get the work started on this
road. but all that we have been able

HEARS Wire SUITS
q. S. Supreme Court Will Settle
Row Over Intrastate Rates.
Kansas One of States To Bring
Suit Against BurlesOn.

Washington, May 5.-The supreme
court today heard arguments in five
suits involving the right of the rail-
road and wire administrations to fix
interstate rates over the objections OF
the various state utilities and coipor-
alton commissions
The attacks on the railroad admin
istrations exercise of power came
from North Dakota, where the state
supreme court held that the president,
acting thru the director general of
railroads, did not have the right to set
"intrastate" rates. but only Inter
state" rates.
Kansas One of Litigants.
The wire suits were brought from
South Dakota, Massa chusetts. Illinois.
and Kansas. John G. Price, attorney
general for Ohio. also filed a brief
altho there is no suit pending from
that state.
Both the railroad and wire suits set
up the same contention as to why the
power of rate fixing as exercised by
the federal government should be
abrogated.
The claim that congress does not
have the power and did not intend that
powers granted as war emergency
should interfere with purely state
state" rate fixing functions is a state
police power, and that the rate fixing
power of the federal government COW
ers only interstate rates.
Holds Powers Arc Broad.
The government contends that its
powers are broad enough to cover
every sort of rate fixing, that rate
fixing is not a police power and that
even if it were, it could not conflict
with the federal war power and that
if congress meant to preserve to the
states their right to fix purely "intra-
state" rates there would have been a
provision to that effect in the railroad
and wire acts.
The wire suits on behalf of Post
master General Burleson set up the
additional claims that suits are against
the United States government and
therefore should not be entertained by
the court at all.

!. W. w. MEET QUIET
Detectives Yawn at COnclavc of
National "WobbIies."

Chicago. May 5.-Detectives and
federal operatives were the only spec
tators today when the convention or
ganized. One hundred delegates
showed their red cards at the
convention hall and were admitted to
help in discussing plans for inducing
the American Federation of Labor to
bodily become I. w. w.
Slated for ten day gathering there
were indications the meeting will end
sooner The city council expected
late today to consider resolutions
against continuing the convention. AL
legged Jail records of some delega ties,
with consequent danger to the COM
munity" were reasons councilmen ad-
vanced.
The first session, an executive affair
save for the police. was devoted to or
ganization: Detectives present yawned
thru an idle morning. Reserve police
were in readiness at central points.
Following a brief argument at the
first session, the convention voted to
throw the meetings wide open"
Leaders said they had nothing to
conceal and wanted the public fully
informed of their doings.
One woman delegate passed the
guard at the door.
There's a bomb in there" she said
with smile, indicating a small port
folio.
Several women later were admitted
as spectators.
Allowed SO per day and travelling
expenses, delegates arrived here in
style. The flannel shirt and macki-
nav. favored by 1. w. w. defendants
in the trial here a year ago. were
lacking in this group. The red scarf
and soft collar were favorite decora-
tionS.
Delegates were circumspect. They
commented only guardedly on their
belief that a proletarian dictatorship
is coming. 1.-The silence defense" will
be used in all 1. w. w. trials hereafter,

LITTLE GIRL
Is Now A Perfect Picture Of
Health.
Day And Night For
Years.

my little daughter Jean has gained
ten pounds on Tanlac and now she's
the very picture of health" said Jim
Smell, well known poultry and truck
farmer of Raleigh. Tenn.
when Jean was only Z years old,
continued Mr.. Smell, "she was taken
with something like nervous stomach
trouble, and there wasn't a day or
night she didn't suffer, until we got
Tanlac for her, and she's now 10
years old. Her stomach was in such
a bad condition she had to live on
toast and eggs and milk, and she
couldn't eat any kind of meats or
vegetables. She complained of pains
in her stomach all the time and would
spit up half digested food. She was
nervous and would toss and roll all
night, for she couldn't sleep well at
all. She was bilious and her complex
ion was bad, and she looked pale and
sickly all the time. We gave her most
every kind of medicine we could think
of. but nothing helped her
after hearing of some of the good
work Tanlac was doing, we got some
for Jean, and it has done -yonders for
her. She actually looks and acts like
a different child, and she's taken only
two bottles of the mediciue. She COM
menced picking up as soon as she
started Tanlac, and she has gained ten
pounds. She never has indigestion
now, and eats just anything she wants
even such things as beans and other
vegetables and meats of all kinds
Why, she ate corn for dinner yester-
day. and it was the first time in eight
years she dared taste corn, and she
eats boiled bacon that's cooked with
vegetables. She's not nervous nor bill
ious now. and sleeps like a baby, and
we never hear anything out of her
from the time she goes to bed until
she gets up in the mornings Her skin
has cleared up and her cheeks look
fresh and rosy. You can just look at
her and tell she's enjoying good
health"
Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully-
Mcfarland Drug Co.-Adv.

HEROES MAKE A KICK
Taxicab Driver Charged EN- $3.50
To Ride Four Blocks.

After riding four blocks with a To-
peka taXicab driver this morning,
seven soldier boys from the 1S9th in
fantry learned that the French, about
whom so many boys have complained,
aren't the only people on earth who
take advantage of the soldier BOYS.
The boys did some tall kicking, it was
the first time they had the opportunity
to complain of high prices where they
were understood and their language
concerning the high price of taxicabs,
while inelegant, was forceful
c. +. Whitmore. who reported the
affair. is highly incensed over the
treatment accorded the boys From
Whitmore's report it seems that they
jumped a taxi and rode four blocks.
The taxicab driver charged them so
cents each, making a total of so for
the four-block ride
THAT price may be justified by
law" said Whitmore, but square deal
ing for the boys who are getting only
$50 month, especially at a time when
Topeka should be welcoming and not
gauging the soldiers. should demand a
little consideration for the boys and
their pocketbooks."

neys for the telephone company that
they are absolutely powerless to take
any action other than that prescribed
by the president, as they are now IN
der government control. They declare
that the president, by the act of con-
gress, was empowered to take over
the telephone lines as a war measure
and make any changes he thought
necessary. They pointed out that it
was the act Of the Am erican people.
