Then she petitioned to certiorari the case to the superior court, but Judge I’emlleloh refused the petition. Now the supreme court reverses Judge PcAulloton, and In the head note aet forth: “In order to determine this question whether or not the contract of an In fant for a course In stenography was a contract for necessaries, In the sense In which 'necessaries' Is used to render tho contract binding upon such Infant, tho evldsnco In tho case should show the slate, degree and condition In llfo In which the Infant Is whose contract Is under consideration; It should also affirmatively appear that tho parents or guardian of such Infant failsd or re fused to furnish suoh alleged necessa ries.''

It.—That the United State* government ha* ut its command the means of a more effective attack upon the Harrtman railroad sys tem than upon perhaps on .any other American in the country, has been dis covered since the Interstate commerce commission was set to work upon It. t’ongreas, when It chartered the orig inal Union Pacific Company, expressly reserved special powers of limiting the earnings and controlling the rates and charges of this system. Given Huge Subsidy. Under .this charter the company was given an empire of public lands and a huge government subsidy. The lawyers who have been study ing the charter declare that there‘igjio question that it Is still in full effect as to all such provisions. When It took tip the Inquiry into the affairs of this system the comtnlssloh 'was at a loss where to begin, there having been no specific complaint against It. Discov ery of this old charter provision, It Is stated, assures that the government may enjoy the widest latitude Of In vestigation. Denial Is Expected. It Is further declared by experts that the earnings of the system have long passed the line at which government regulative power becomes effective. This Is the point on which It Is ex pected the managers of the huge sys tem will make their chief contest. They are expected to deny that the earn ings have reached such a point. The president, under the charter of the Union Pacific, has absolute power governing rates and earnings. It Is de clared that earnings now far exceed that figure, und that as much con read ily be demonstrated by judicial procesf. Therefore, congress can absolhtely fix rates and charges, and with that power —a far more specific and drastic power than It has over other roads—It can drive the Harrfman Interests to Its knees.

He heUeves It hns an unwhole some effect upon the common wen! for swollen estate* to p**a free flfteSMfr atlon to generation, nnd he would like to see a tax so framed ns to put It out of the power of the owner of one of theao fortunes to hand down more than a certain portion to any one Individual. Congress Hat Power. He I. convinced that congreaa pos sesses the constitutional authority to Impose such a tax, and his opinion Is baaed upon the Judgment of some of the best lawyers and Jurists In the country. He will suggest that such a method of taxation be made to apply merely to the Inheritance or transmis sion of fortunes which has reached on unhealthy limit.
