TO ADVOCATE REPEAL
OF RAIL GUARANTEE
CRv Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24-The long
est smoldering movement in congress
for repeal of the railroad six percent
guarantee provision, and also of the
Adamson railway wage law appeared
in the open before the senate inter
state commerce committee today when
representatives of state railway COM
missioners and agricultural organizs-
tions appeared to urge such changes.
John E. Benton, solicitor of the Ma
tional Association of Railway and
Utilities commissioners, urged enact
ment of the Capper bill to restore the
original jurisdiction of state. railway
commissions over interstate rates, and
to repeal the six percent guarantee Of
the carriers. Representatives Of
agricultural organizations, were on
hand to urge repeal of the Adamson
law, but their testimony was deferred
until tomorrow
Capitalization of rate powers in the
interstate commerce commission was
deplored by Mr.. Benton, who charged
the railroads with use of propaganda
to destroy the state commissions au-
thority."

formed an escort which accompanied
the fag-draped coffin on its way to

black horses, and the pail bearers rep
resenting both branches of the service,
marched on each side.
The services began at o'clock at

INCUMBENT COLLECTOR
is FIRE { FROM SUIT
AGAINST PREDECESSOR
(Rv Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24-Persons
paying federal taxes under protest can
not bring proceedings to recover such
taxes against a successor of the col
lector to whom the taxes were paid
the supreme court held today in de-
Gliding a case brought by the Indiana
Steel company.
Justice Holmes in announcing the
opinion, stated that the action against
the incumbent collector, being against
him personally and not in his official
capacity, it would be maintained.
Justices McKenna and Clark dissent
ed. The Indiana Steel company paid
under protest, corporation excise Of
S25S,976 in 1910 and $50 ,166 in 1872.
The official to whom the taxes
were paid, no longer being in Office,
the company sought to recover from
his successor. The government con-
tended that the incumbent official
could not be held responsible for the
acts of his predecessor, and that the
persons, who officially assessed and
collected the taxes, should be proceed
ed against or the government sued in
the court of claims.
