ward came in a bill increasing his

sion. PINCHOT STATES HIS POSITION.
Outlines Attitude of His Department
With Regard to Water Power.
Washington. The practice of the
government in granting water power
concessions is outlined by Gifford Pin
chot, United States forester, in a
letter written to Colonel Henry L.
Higginson of Boston, Mass., a director
of the General Electric company. The
letter takes the form of a public
statement and is significant at this
time because of the widespread in
terest in the water power question.
Mr. Pinchot seeks to emphasize par
ticularly that he does not wish to
retard the development of water
powers by private capital.
Summarizing the conditions imposed
on all power permits the government
forester makes clear the point that
the renewal of a permit at the end of
fifty years is at the option of the
government; that it is, by statue re
vocable by the secretary of the in
terior but unless revoked, continues
fifty years, when it terminates without
any special revocation, but may then
be renewed at the option of and on
conditions to be fixed by the govern
ment. MRS. STIER8 PASSES AWAY.

COURT MUST DECIDE
CONSTITUTIONALITY OF CORPO
RATION TAX LAW.
A CASE HAS BEEN FILED
Wording of the Section of Constitu
tion Granting Right to Levy
Corporation Tax.
The brief of the appellants in the at
tack on the constitutionality of the
corporation tax law has reached the
supreme court The case was filed in
the Lancaster county court by the
Mercantile Incorporating company of
Omaha. The Erie iron works entered
the case as intervenor. Judge J. J.
Sullivan, candidate for supreme judge
on the democratic ticket, being the at
torney in the case. An effort is being
made to render invalid this law of the
recent legislature taxing corporations
a flat amount governed by their capi
tal stock, but not based directly on it.
In the Lancaster county district
court where the case was first brought
the law was held to be goodand an
appeal was taken to the supreme
court.
In arguing the unconsttiutionality
of the law the appellant corporations
set forth that the tax must either be
in the nature of a license or a tax on
the franchise. It can not be in the
nature of a license from the very
terms of the law. License presup
poses that the state will regulate. No
such regulation is prescribed. License
moneys go to the school fund. The
tax under this law is turned into the
general fund.
The law says that such tax is an
occupation permit. But the contest
ants declare that the right of levying
an occupation tax granted in section
1, article 9 of the constitution, does
not include such a tax as this law
calls -for. It directs an occupation tax
ou ad valorem basis, and enumerates
sixteen kinds of occupations that
might fall under the tax. Hence the
law can not properly be called an oc
cupation tax.
The section of the consttiution
granting the right to levy an occupa
tion tax reads: "The legislature shall
provide such revenue as may be need
ful, by levying a tax by valuation, so
that every person and corporation
shall pay a tax in proportion to the
value of his, her or its property and
franchise, the value to be ascertained
in such manner as the legislature shall
direct, and it shall have power to tax
peddlers, auctioneers, brokers, hawk
ers, commission merchants, showmen,
Jugglers, inn keepers, liquor dealers,
toll bridge, ferries, insurance, tele
graph and express interests or busi
ness, venders of patent medicines in
such manner as it shall direct, by gen
eral law, uniform as to the class upon
which it operates."
Must Make Affidavit.
When the list of delinquent corpora
tions who had not paid the tax ac
cording to the corporation tax law
was published no allowance was made
for those corporations which have a
capital stock and do not under their
very nature, intend to pay a dividend
or in any way act as profit makers
for the stockholders. It was assumed
that if there was a capital stock there
must be a profit-sharing intent. Many
corporations have since protested that
such was not the purpose of their
formation and they should not be
compelled to pay a tax. The secretary
of state is sending out blanks asking
for an affidavit from the officers of
each such company that they were
organized for social purposes or be
nevolent purposes only and are ex
empt from the operations of the law.
Attempt to Break Will.
A third attack has been made in the
supreme court against Ida Wharton,
the widow of the late George H. Boggs
of Omaha. The complainants are the
lelatives of Boggs, who object to her
using Boggs property. Everything
was willed to his wife by Boggs aside
from a trusteeship, but she was also
given the right to remove, with or
without cause, the trustees. The
brothers and sisters of the dead man
declare that Mrs. Wharton has given
much property willed her to her sec
ond husband, and that the property
has yielded her an income of about
$12,000 per year.
A Complaint Filed.
. The Kendall-Smith Milling company
of Woodiawn has filed a formal com
plaint with the railway commission
asking that the Burlington be com
pelled to reinstate its former switch
ing charges between Lincoln and
Woodiawn, which it changed January
1, 1907. The petition says that 'for
thirty-three years the charge has been
$5 a car between the two towns and
under the beneficient rate the com
plainant has built up a thriving mill
ing and feed business in the city of
Lincoln, the product coming from the
mill at Woodiawn. The changed rate
has changed all this.
Complaint on Switching Rate.
The Kendall-Smith company of Lin
coln has filed a complaint against the
Burlington railroad, with the state
railway commission because it has
seen fit to change its switching rate of
$5 a car from Woodiawn to 2 cents
per 100 pounds. This company has a
machinery manufactory at Woodiawn,
and for thirty-five years it says in its
complaint the" Burlington gave it a
switching rate of $5 a car. But re
cently it changed this rate to 2 cents
per 100 pounds, and this rate is re
garded as too high.
Judgment for a Woman.
Judge T. C. Munger of the federal
court handed down a judgment for
$3,500 in favor of Mrs. Eva B. Ford,
administratrix of the estate of the late
Joshua H. Ford, in her suit against
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad. Damages for $25,000 had
been claimed by the plaintiff, who al
leged that her husband had come to
his death through negligence of em
ployees of the railroad. Ford, who
was a brakeman, was crushed to death
between an engine and a car when
trying to couple the car.

SHOWED HIS HERO WORSHIP
Surely Nothing Wrong Could Go Forth
from Lips That Were His
Veneration.
Allen has a strong admiration for
soldiers. He seldom misses a military
parade and his childish fancy has so
Idealized the boys in blue that he
considers them little short of perfec
tion. Not long ago his mother took him to
see an elderly friend of hers a sweet
faced, silver-haired woman, who is the
widow of a veteran of the civil war.
Before arriving at the house Mrs. Par
ker told Allen this bit of her friend's
history, and consequently the boy ac
corded this beautiful woman the most
reverent attention.
In discussing a certain current sub
ject of literary interest the two wom
en had a mild difference of opinion,
and Allen's regard for brass buttons
would not long permit him to listen
in silence.
"Mamma," he asked in gently re
proacLful tones after he had fidgeted
a moment in his chair, "don't you
think a soldier's wife ought to know?"

trouble. Then I was told to use the
Cuticura Remedies. I got a cake of
Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Oint

the Resolvent I could see a change in

Typographical Union Led.
The first tuberculosis sanitarium to
be erected for the benefit of the labor
ing men was built by the Interna
tional Typographical union in con
nection with its home at Colorado
Springs. The International Printing
Pressmen and Assistants' union have
recently decided to erect a similar
sanitarium, and steps are now being
taken to open such an institution. The
International Photo-Engravers' union,
while not conducting a sanitarium of
Its ovn, pays for the treatment of its
tuberculous members in institutions in
various parts of the country. The
International Boot Workers' union are
recommending to their members that
they nily themselves with the various
organizations united In the fighl
against tuberculosis.
A uong-Panter.
Mary, aged 14, was found one day
by aa older sister sobbing and crying.
"What is the matter?" she asked,
with great concern.
"Three boys have asked me to go
to the dance to-night," was the unex
pected reply.
"Well, my dear child, certainly that
Is not such a terrible misfortune."
"Yes; but I told the first one I
would go with him, and the last one
was a long-panter" Harper's.
THE DIFFERENCE
Coffee Usually Means Sickness, But
Postum Always Means Health.
Those who have never tried the ex
periment of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum in its place and in
this way regaining health and happi
ness can learn much from the experi
ence of others who have made the
trial.
One who knows says: "I drank cof
fee for breakfast every morning until
I had terrible attacks of indigestion
producing days of discomfort and
nights of sleeplessness. I tried to give
up the use of coffee entirely, but found
It hard to go from hot coffee to a
glass of water. Then I tried Postum.
"It was good and the effect was so
pleasant that I soon learned to love
it and have used it for several years.
I improved immediately after I left
off coffee and took on Postum and
am now entirely cured of my indiges
tion and other troubles all of which
were due to coffee. I am now well
and contented and all because I
changed from coffee to Postum.
"Postum Is much easier to make
right every time than coffee, for it is
so even and always reliable. We
never use coffee now In our family.
We use Postum. and are always well."
"There's a reason" and It is proved
by trial.
