IS STENOGRAPHIC COURSE
A NECESSITY OF LIFE?
Ia a stenographic course necessary In
the education and equipment of u mi
nor person for the duties of life?
This rathe* Interesting question was
the turning point In a cose decided by,
the supreme court Monday morning.
tin January ,6. ISOS, Miss Dora E.
Mauldin. 17 .years of age, /entered a
business college tj> taka a course 111
stenography;' Hhr paid $35 for the
same, and took a receipt. On January
10 she decided not to take the course
and demanded the return of her money.
The demand was refused, and ehe en.
tered suit In justice court to recover.
The jury found for the defendant. Then
she petitioned to certiorari the case to
the superior court, but Judge Pendleton
refused the petition.
Now the supreme court reverses
Judge Pendleton, and In the head note
set forth:
"In older to determine this question
whether or not the contract of an In
fant for a course In stenography was a
contract for neeessarlea, In the sense In
which ‘necessaries' Is used to render
the contract binding upon such Infant,
the evidence In the case should show

In which the Infant la whoso contract
under consideration; It should also
lion; It should also
* that the parepts or
nfant failed nr re
guard Inn ..

As this does not appear the court
holds that It was error to refuse the pe
tition for certiorari.

Power Granted By Charter
Likely To Be Sought
. at Once.
tj'aahlngton, Nov. 13.—That the
United States government has at Its
command the means of a more effectlvq
attack upon the Harrlman railroad sys
tem than upon perhaps on any other
American In the country, has been dis
covered since the Interstate commence
commission was set. to work upon It.
Congress, when It chartered the orig
inal union Pacific Company, expressly
reserved special powers of limiting the
earning*, and controlling the rates and
charges of this system.
Given Huge Subtidy.
Under this charter the company wo*
given an empire of public lands and a
huge government subsidy.
The lawyers who have been study
ing the charter declare that there Is no
question that It Is still In full effect
as to all such provisions. When It took
up the Inquiry Into the uffalrs. of this
system the commission was ut 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 tlib widest latitude of In
vestigation.
Otnial Is Expscted.
It Is furthoi 1 declared by experts that
the earnings of the syntqnt have long
passed the line at which government
regulative power becomes effective.
Thjs Is the putnt on which l| Is ex
pected the managers of the huge sys
tem will make their chief contest. They
ure expected to deny that the earn
ings huve reached such a point. *
The president, under the charter of
the Union Paclflc, has absolute power
governing rates and earnings. It Is de
clared that earnings now far exceed
that figure, and that its much can read
ily be demonstrated by Judicial process.
Therefore, congress can absolutely fix
rates and charges, and with that power
—a far mgre specific and drastic power
than It has over other roads—It can
drive the Harrlman Interests to Its
knees.

Roosevelt Thinks Inherit
ance Tax May Be Just
• the Thing.
Washington. Nov. 13.—Before Presi
dent Roosevelt left Washington on his
trip tq Panama, he virtually completed
the message he will send to congress
next month.
The message this year will rank In
Importance,with others which Mr.
Roosevelt has transmitted during his
Incumbency, und It Is possible to give a
forecast of Its principal features.
To Regulate Fortunes.
Without doubt the most vital redbm-
niendatlon relates to the necessity of
formulating a method of regulating the
growth of great fortunes In this coun
try.
The president will urge. congress to
devise u scheme of progressive taxa
tion on all fortunes beyond a certain
amount, either given In life or devised
or bequeathed upon death to any Indi
vidual. He believes It has nn unwhole
some effect upon .the MBMM* weal
for swollen estates to pass from gener
ation to generation, and he would like
to see a tax so framed a. ».> put It out
of the power of the owner of one nf
these fortunes to hand down mere than
a certain portion to any one Individual.
Congress Has Powsr.
He la convinced that congress pos
sesses the constitutional authority to
Impose such a tax, and h|s opinion Is
based upon the Judgment of some of
the best lawyer* and Jurists In the
country. lie will suggest that stlch a
methpd of taxation be made to apply
merely to the Inheritance or tranamls-
ston of fortunes which has reached an
unhealthy limit.
Second. In Importance will be a rec
ommendation for an enactment giving
the Federal government supervisory
authority over corporations engaged In
Interstate commerce. It la not hla pur
pose to.furnish specifications as to the
manner In which this power should be
exercised, whether by Federal license
or otherwise, but he will Insist that It
Is of paramount Importance that the
government be vested with such au
thority In order- to depl effectively with
the far-reaching evlla of over-capitali
sation. *
