No Charlotte Town ship Bill Introduced In The Legislature Special to The News. Raleigh. N. C.. Feb. 25.—City At torney MaxT'ell presented the bill, from the Charlotte Board of Aldermen, af'king that the Charlotte township bbundarv be changed, but no action was taken by the Mecklenburg delega tion. No bili making provision for a change of township lines has been in troduced. and none will be introduced this rcssion. Asked for their reasons for refusing to offer such bill, tae Mecklenburg delegates stated that this Is a matter affecting the entire county, and they did not feel called upon to act without considering the county. It is thought that had such a bill been recommended by both county and city authorities, it would have been passed. Representatives, however, did not feel warranted in passing such bill without considering the county. While aldermen have authority to recomrn^^nd any legislation, they are not authorized to request any meas ure which affects the county, as well as the city. Mayor Head Withdraws. ^Louisville, Ky.. Feb. 2-5.—Mayor W. O. Head, one of the leading candi dates for the democratic nomination for governor of Kentucky announced his withdrawal from the race this afternoon. Santa Barbara. Cal., F'eb. 25.—Gen eral matters affecting the railroads, particularly the recent rate decision were discussed r.ith an International 1 New:; Service reijortor b; F. H. Rip- j ley. president of the Santa Fo. in an intere.'ting and oftentimes startling manner toda.y. “How will the recent decision of the interstate commerce commission low ering freight rates affect the rail roads^" was the initial question of sev eral which dr«w from Yir. Ripley ex tremely candid observaiion:-,. “It is too eariy to state,' he s^id. A party to a suit is not supposed to j be qualified to express an unbiased ■■ riui'>n ss Its ,' t.^tKc. “Some railroad and industrial stocks have .gone down, I notice, but whether that is a mere flurry remains to be seen." “Will the decision affect the rail road's expenditures on extensions and development?” ■‘Well, A\hat money we have will be spent in the way planned. When it comes time to raise more monej’, we v.-ill then know better whether that will be possible. "The administration is very busy passing laws regulating railroads and the time appears to have come when the government runs the railroads, not thp owners and directors. "I believe,” ‘he said, with a passing smile which looked very much one of disgust, “that the national and state governments are spending $25,000,000 a year regulating railroads, which means reducing rates.” ' But don’t you find the present ad ministration more sane h'om your viewpoint in its attitude towards rail roads than the preceding one?” was asked. “No," he said bluntly. “It is more reckless. It has adopted laws more re pressive and thei'ofore more destruc tive in their tendency. “The California railroad bill recent ly adopted places the control of the railroads in the hands of a public util ities commission—Another instance of government usurption of the rights of the owners.” “Wliat do you believe will be the outcomc.of this character of legisla tion'’” “Government ownership of the rail roads eventually,” he said with em phasis. "I have always believed that and events are moving rapidly in that direction.” When asked if he believed that gov ernment ownership was a matter of the near future, ^Ir. Ripley replied that he would not attempt to hazzard a prophecy on that score. der. Rountree & \\'ilsou, of Atlanta, were engaged to aid in the winding up of the state dispensary, and con cerning other matters, but the sub stance of the letter has been agfced on and the actual drafting of the com- mtmication in its final form is held up only in order that a statement hourly expected frcim Mr. T. B. Felder of the Otlanta law firm may be incorporated ui it. The commission takes the position Uiat the governor is entitled to all the information he has renuestpd and if will be furnished him. in spi'e of the fact th*3t rhe governor now has before him for approval an act tct investigate! the whole official course of the com mission. Necessarily the letter will be one of considerable length, perhaps seven or eight typed i'ages. The text of the message ^ill not nie furnished to the press by the commission, on the .ground that as a matter of propriety that g-hould be done, if done at all, by the addressee, Governor Blease. Whether Governor Blease will see fit to make the letter public remains to be seen. The commission says all it.^ acts will be made known on demand to any one having authority to call for the information and no question made of the governors authority in this respect.
