"The rontract entered Into by tho Hoard of
County Supervisors with F. M. Cunningham
to ferret out taxable property which hns es
caped assessment Is outlawed for tho slniplo
reason Hint tho board has no right to give
nway 50 per cent of nny money that belongs
to tho county for work which by rights
should bo done by county officers whoso sal
aries aro paid by tho taxpayers."
This statement was rundo by a prominent
member of the local bar yesterday whllo dis
cussing tho matter with several county
officials at tho court house, He said, fur
ther, that lie believed In the event of tho
supervisors attempting to fulfill their part
of tho contract tho courts would be ccrlnlnly
appealed to and nil Injunction nsked re
straining tho board from paying Cunning
ham unythlng Uko GO per cent of whnlcvcr
moneys might bo collected through his ef
forts. The contention of Cunningham, ho
said, that tho law Is unconstitutional In
that It abrogated existing contracts, might
hold In certain Instances, but In this case
It Is evident that tho law was passed for
tho very purposo of nullifying contracts en
tered luto by boards of county supervisors
which on their very faco nro Illegal and con
trary to public policy. Me further expressed
tho opinion that tho supreme court, In view
of tho Intent of tho act, would hold It con
stitutional. F. M. Cunningham, who has not been In
tho city slnco last Jnnunry, arrived here
yesterday nnd nt onco started to work on
tho claims filed by depositors against Officer
& Pusey's bank. Ho stated that ho ex
pected to find that many of tho largest de
positors had failed to list their Interest
bearing deposits In tho bnnl: nt tho time
they raado their returns to tho nssessor last
January nnd consequently theso deposits
had escaped taxation. Ilo was unable to
stato when ho would bo prepared to (He his
report with the board, but might tnako n
partlnl ono soon. Mr. Cunningham de
clined to Btnto whether ho had discovered
much property In this county which had
seemingly esenped propor taxation, Ilo said,
however, that ho wna not In tho least fear
ful nbout tho board not carrying out Its con
tract with him. When told that County At
torney Klllpatrlck had given It as his opin
ion that tho board could not legally carry
out tho contract In tho fnco of the net passed
by the Inst legislature, Mr. Cunningham said
ho could very soon mako Mr. Klllpatrlck
think differently. Tho reason, ho said, that
tho legislature passed tho law was becauso
00 per cent of tho members of tho houso
wero "tax dodgers."
Tho contract entered Into by the board
with Cunningham gives him eighteen months
from November 13, 1S30, In which to com
plete his work.

DUS MOINES, Nov. 1C (Speclat Tele
gram.) Attorney General Henitey has un
der consideration a plan by which he hopes
to secure from tho supremo court nn opin
ion upon tho complications presented by
tho Titus amendment without havlnn to

way through tho lower courts and bo de
cided by that body. Tho nttorney general
Is out of the city today nnd bo could not
bo reached In regard to tho plan, but It Is
slated on rellablo authority that ho will
refuse to vncato his office on tho first Mon
day in January nnd that Senator C. W.
Mullan, as attorney general-elect, will
move that tho supremo eourt recognize
him ns tho legally-elected attorney bcu

tain or ovcrrulo and which will afford nn
opportunity for a lengthy opinion on tho
question, nettling nP ulnillar cases which
may havo arisen In tho stato by reason of
tho defect In the amendment.
An opinion of this kind by tho court
would bo to tho samo end as an opinion
rendered In a caso nppcalcd from u lower
court. It would nffect not only tho par
tlcular caso of tho attorney general, but

CINCINNATI, Nov. 16. A manufacturer
of this city who has been In correspondence
on ths subject of tariff for tho Philippines
with Hon. William II. Taft of tho Philip
pine commission, has received a letter from
Judgo Taft, dated Manila, September 21, In
which he says;
"I wau Very much Interested to read your
letter nnd am glad you took tho trouble to
send a paper on tho tariff, which wo nro
about to mako up, Wo hnvo Just passed
a civil servlco law, which Is, on the whole,
I think, the strictest law that has been
passed under American auspices.
"I havo no doubt we shall bo ablo to
work out successfully tho problems beforo
us If McKlnley la elected. I do not mean
to Bay thero nro not a great many difficul
ties nhend, even with tho policy of tho gov
ernment toward these IsUnds Bottled, but
I do moan to sny then aro nono of them
Insuperable. Wo particularly need banking
facilities hero nnd wo need bettor harbor
facilities. Wo shall npproprlato $2,000,000
(Mexican) this week for tho completion of
tho harbor work, much of which wns dono
by tho Spnnlards, but which remains useless
without its completion. When the harbor
facilities are better, doubtless direct Amer
ican lines will bo established to Manila. I
feel confident Manila will become one of
tho great ports of tho Orient. Only the sur
faco of tho possible prospective business of
thcso Islands has been scratched.
"Whin you spenk of lotting Chinamen
Into thiso islands, you touch a question
that bus n great many dangers connected
with It, nnd I could not now express nn
opinion on tho subject.
"I hopo there Is no doubt abut McKln
loy's oiectlcn.
"With warm regards, believe me sincerely
yours, WILLIAM II. TAFT."

declares that not a dollar rtilaed by public
tax should bo appropriated to sectarian

t-upport enough Institutions of learning to
afford every child In tho land an opportunity
for a good common school education, The
bill beforo tho cougresj to assist Industrial

Miss l'Vnnkie Hatha

Holland, Mich., says :
" I niu twenty-one
years old. At sixteen I
was pale nnd weak. By
the time I wns nineteen
years old I was so weak I
could not wulk across the
floor. I was terribly ema
ciated and iny skin had
lost all color. The doctor
pronounced the disease
Anremia. Being ndviscd
to try Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People, I
bought a box, and before
I had taken nil of the pills
found that they were doing
me good. Appetite in
creased nnd the healthy
color began to show in my
cheeks nnd lips. I con
tinued to use the pills
until I found myself per
manently cured. Since
then I have had no return
of my old trouble. I
know that Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People
saved my life, and I be
lieve that no other medi
ciue could have done it."
