"WASHINGTON. Jan. The Supreme
Court of the I'nlted States today an
nounced Its decision In the stubbornly
fought contest over streetcar privileges
In Cleveland. O. The opinion presented

CAX'T TAX FOREIGN' STOCK.
Highest Court decides Against 1m-
post on Outside Corporation.
Washington, Jan. 7. In deciding
the case of the American Smelting & Re
ining; Company vs. the . people -of the
Slate of Colorado today, the Supreme
Court of the Cnlted States reversed the
decision of the Supreme Court of Colo
rado, Involving the construction of that
iortlon of the revenue laws of Colorado
which imposes a tax of 4. cents annually
on each $1000 of stock of foreign corpora
tions doing- business In the state. Judge
i'eckham handed down the court's opin
ion. The Smelter Company is a New Jersey
corporation, and as its capital stock is
JioO.OOO.OOO. the tax would he J-toOO a year.
Te company antagonized the assessment

unconstitutional, but the State - Supreme
Court sustained the law on the ground
that it provides only for a tax on cor
porations, using the capital stock basis as
the most convenient means of ascertain

G. i-'aik & Brother, of New York, Im-
porters of tobacco, vs. the United
States, was decided by the Supreme
Court of the Cnlted States today favor
ably to the Government. The point at
issue was the question whether tobacco
should pay duty when received at the
bonded warehouses or when sent away
from them, the weight being less at the
latter than at the former period, with
a corresponding- reduction of the
amount required to meet the demands
of the revenue officials.
The court held that payment should

opinion was by Justice McKenna.

Gaynor Advances New Argument for
Control of Railroads.
NEW YORK. Jan. ".-Takin as his
subject "Are Our Railroads Public High
ways or frivaie Ttoads?" Judge William
J. Gaynor addressed the Forum at New
Rochelle last night. Judge Gaynor toofc
the position that all railroads are public
highways, controlled in fact by the Xft
tfonal Government and by the people of
the states through which they run. At
considerable length he discussed the legal
aspect of the case between the people and
the railroads. He said that while per
sonally he objected to the Government
ownership of the railroads, he was con
vinced that as a last resort the people of
this country would compel the Govern
ment to own the railroads unless by other
means the abuses which now ex
ist, could be prevented. As a
remedy. Judge Gaynor proposed that
the Government appoint the gen
eral , freight agent of each rail
road. In conclusion. Judge Gaynor spoke
of the low rates being given to freight
coming from foreign countries to offset
the protective tariff duties and enable
such goods to come here at all, and said:
"What a humiliating sight it is to see
these National .highways being used to
beat the Government Itself, under the
favor of which they exist. The Govern
ment established' a tariff on Imports, so-
called, not merely for a revenue, but for
the protection of American Industries.
That has been the policy of our Govern
ment for generations. And yet the per
sons who rule the corporations which run
our railroads, our public highways, do
not hesitate to give foreign goods a
freight rate low enough to enable them
to come in and be sold at a profit in
spite of the protective tariff, thereby
nullifying the object of the tariff. Such
goods have been carried at one-sixth of
the rate on corresponding domestic goods.
Goods are in that way carried from Eng
land and Germany to Denver, for ex
ample, for a less rate than from -Chicago
to Denver. No wonder a growing num
ber of people want the Government to
take the railroads."
MAKE CARS DO MORE WORK
Railroads Will Form Organization to
Relieve Car Shortage.
CHICAGO, Jan. 7. As a means for
relieving the " shortage of freight cars,
representatives of a number of Western
roads today decided to form an organ
ization to be known as the Car Effi
ciency Bureau. ,The purpose of the
bureau is to make a, concerted and
systematic effeYt to increase the use
of cars now- in existence, by insisting
upon more prompt loading and unload

The headquarters of the bureau wllj
