Railroads and Waterways.

ANY discussion Of the question of
food supply leads very quickly to the
closely related matter Of transporta-
ZION. There 10 no one thing which
brings US % internationally to critical
conditions than the insuflciency of our
transportation facilities. Both the
railroads and the public are to blame.
There has been no material addition
TO the total mileage In the last ten
years, and the increase In terminals
has been much less than required. At
he beginning of the war the rolling
stock was sadly reduced and made
quate. The public had not given In
pay for service SUFFICIENT revenues on
which credit could be allowed by the
banks. Moral assistance was withheld
because of railroad policies that did
not bring approval. Many Of these
corporations had made themselves a
part Of political activities, local. state
and NATIONAL Then there were more
or less sporadic instances Of stock wa
tsring operations. and the exploitation
Of utility properties Tor personal gain.
Abuses we're not general. but they
were suficient to bring the entire rail-
road systems Of the country In dis
repute, The good suffered with the
evil When the transportation lines
were taken over by the government.

In Selling Bonds
For auditorium

The constitutionaAsy OF the special
act OF the legislature permitting Shelby

held by Judge Laus in in Fourth di-
vision OF circuit COZ Wednesday. The
consiitutionahty OF the act was dues-
toned by Elias Gates. attorney repre-
senting the North American Realty

ment
IN overruiing tile demurrers, Judge
Laughlin made no comment on the
case simply saying that the demurrers
were overruled The opinion was the
first matter on the call Wednesday
when court convened.
The Tennessee legislature passed two
separate acts, one authorizing the city
of Memphis to issue bonds amounting
to S375, 600 and q second authorizing
Shelby county to issue bonds for the
same amount both 10 be used in the
construction ofaan auditorium and mar
ket house on the site u the old court
house at Poplar avenue and Main
street
In order to secure possession OF GER
tain property adjoining the old court
house site, condemnation suits were
brought against the North American
Realty company and others. IL was In
these suits that Mfr. Gates filed his de-
murrers charging that the act author
izing Shelby county to issue the bonds
was invalid.
His contention was that the legisla-
ture specified shelby county, whereas
in his opinion the legislature should
have used the words, sany county haV-
| ing a population of 10000 or more.
Singing out Shelby county for specla
legislation rendered the act unconsti-
tutional.
Although Mr. Gates was not in court
when the opinion was rendered, 1t Is
| understood that an Immediate appea
to the supreme court VIII be taken ano
that the case will be heard by that trl-
bunal at the April term.
