NORTH CAROLINA, Wednesdat Eveninq, May 29. 190Y. V No. 22 v MOVE AGAINST THE RATE LAV Sicckholderf File Bill in Exility in :U. S Circuit Court Against Coast Line Railroad and Commission Injunc tion Returnable Before Judge Pritch ard Juns 26 27. Asheville, N. O., May 25. A bill in equity iyas filed in the Llni.ed States Circuit Court this afternoon by Nelson Buckley, George J Pearson and other stock holders of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, its directors the corporation commision of North j Carolina. The bill prays for an njunction against the railroad com- missions of North Carolina res traning them from , publishing and enforcing the recent rates provided by the act of the Legislature of North Carolina, It alleges that the raiJr ad company refuses to contest the rate bill on account of the extreme penalties provided therein, vhich would aggregate over $1,000,000 a day or $368. 000,000 per year, in case the rate was finally sustained by the high est court. The bill alleges that a committe of stockholders applied ro the corporation itself to pro tect its interests and it has declined to do so. The point is also made that the rate bill was not read three times and not signed by the speaker of the House, a ruber -stamp being substituted in line thereof. The further interesting point is raised that thepoer conferred upon the corporation commission of North Carolina to fix just and reasonable: rates is n inrlir.ifll fnftinn and while the commission exists with such power, the Legislature can not interfere and undertake to ex ercise what under the policy of NoJth Carolina is a judicial func tion. The injunction which was grant ed by Judge Pritchard is made re turnable before Judge J. C. Pritch ard in this city June 26 and. 27. Morris'.

Catawba .News. Anything In Builders Material TO DIVIDE COAST LINE, of THE SALARY IS ATTRACTIVE. lben nd- Bringing Out More Candidates Than usual For i Congress! " Washington, D. C, May 23 Reports received , in Washington indicate th a t th ere is going to be an unusually. large crop of candidates for Congressional honors in the various States next year. The reason for this unusually early-out-; burst of Congressional booms is attributed tojhe increase in Jfthe salaries of members, which last winter was raised from $5,000 to $7,500. In most of the states the salary of a Congressman is now the largest and most enticing within the gifl of the people. This very fact, it is con ten&ed has stirred the ari - bition of more vthan the - usual number of Congressional candi dates. If a man wishes to come to Wash ington as a menibef of Congress for the money there is in the posi tion he can make a pretty good thing out of tt. Tjie salery itself, $7, 500, is not bad, but there aref other pickings to. be had . for the man who makes the race for the financial return. For instance, there is the matter of $1,500 an nally, which should be given to a private secretary and for which purpose it is authorized, but many Congressmen either shove., the en tire ' .'wad' into their pockets or take a oart of the poor secretary's stipend as a rake-off. A Congress- man wno wouia rop nis poor secre tary deserves to 6e)jc3efeated, ibut man or tnemare guilty or ims very offense. The law, which provides for the secretary's salary, author ized thatthe Congressman shall spend the sum for clerical hire, and the warren t is made cut in his name. Misouri Congressman boast ed last year that he had done the work of his secretary and hdd in this way saved so much money. In addition to his $9,000 as Congress man, a member of the House is also entitle to draw mileage and an allowence of $125 a year for stationary. There will be a number of Congressmen of, who will make 'more than $10,000 out of their jobs this year. . What Our Reporters Saw in New York.
