- Terminal Tasatloa Bill.
, 1 Senator Thornus this afternoon intro
duced his terminal taxation bill In the aen
,' ate. The measure doee not Interfere with
-the present method of assessment of rall
'.rofcd terminals for state, county and school
'district purposes, but makes provision for
' the .assessment -of the terminals by cltlea
. and Villages by the local assessors. For
municipal purpoaea the railroad property
ls assessed like other property. For state,
county - and school dietrlct purpoaea the
.'value of the terminals will still be dls-
tributed over the. entire line In proportion
to the number of miles of road In the tax
I'lnc distiiot. The-new bill avoids the ob
jection, of eomer of the members from the
eountry districts that the taxation of ter
.mtnala by the 'municipal authorltlea would
reduce the revenue received by the munlcl
' r palitles and school districts which have
' no terminals or 'terminal property of small
; value.-

escape taxation and that portions of the
bill wore clearly unconstitutional. Aid
rich declared If the bill passed It woull
undo all that had been done under the
new revenue law, and King declared that
legislation waa needed to find property
that was escaping taxation rather than
to allow more property to escape. buJk

door to fraud. McKesson's ' motion was
lost by a large majority.

' We are willing to take trouble to get
things we value.
X Ma man was ao much benefitted by
changing from coffee to Poatum, that he
was willing to ride about It miles to get
It. His daughter writes:
"My mother, father and myself have
been drinking Postum for two year and
have all been greatly benefitted by Its
use.
"Before we dropped coffee and begun
to use Postum, mother was poorly nour
ished and only weighed 15 lbs. After she
used It a few weeks she began to gain In
weight and she kept getting stronger
and better until now she weighs about
150 lbs., and we all believe it is due to
leaving off coffee and drinking Postum
Fcfi Coffee, because she haa taken no
medicine of any kind. While she drank
coffee she was very nervoua. but since
using Postum she haa no auch trouble.
"Father was troubled with Indigestion,
when he drank coffee, but Postum has
changed all that. He aays he likes the
taste of it much better than coffee.
When I happen to be visiting and drink
coffee I am usually sick for a few hours,
everything sours on my stomach and I
get very nervoua.
"We find there's a big difference In the
way Postum Is prepared. It should be
boiled properly according to directions
then Its flavor Is fine.
"Father tides about It miles to get It.
He says ha wpuld not do without Postum
If he bad to go still farther to get It."
