to Attorney Samuel v. Gusack's plea
for a new trial, which was overruled.
Justice Stafford said: Defendants

he argued the case with great ability
and wisely.
az think Il would have been against
the best interests OF the defendant
had he gone on the witness stand. l
am perfectly satisfied that he COM

that the roads themselves had a right
to refuse to be sold.
The power of Congress is limited by
the Constitution of the United States,
Mr.. Hamilton told the committee, in
that private property cannot be taken
without due process of law and pri-
vate property SO taken must be Justly
compensated.
The contention was that the Con-
stitution guarantees protection to
property and that the franchises Of
the street railway Companies are
property; that they represent con-
tracts that are guaranteed protection
so long as they obey the laws creating
them.
The constitutional rights Of a cor
poration are the same as a citizen,
Mr.. Hamilton told the committee.
at is our right that you should
know that what we are Is due due
to the will and action Of Congress-
he added. '"They have made us en-
condition that we give good service.
You are the author of this being.
"But for a few changes in its per-
sonnel, the Capital Traction Company
has been uninterrupted in its man
agement, since it's creation in 1895,
Mr.. Hamilton said. We have kept up
with the times and given improved
service to the city, he added.

met every demand made on 1T with

From what we could gather Rusk
county is going to have more and bet

getting back of the men who have

the desired results. A dollar road tax
will come nearer to getting dollars
