The Parent Of Insomnia

The parent of insomnia, or wakefulness
is in nine cases out of ten dyspeptic stom-
ach. Good digestion gives sound sleep, in
digestion interferes with it. The brain and
stomach spmpathize. One of the prominent
symptoms of weak state of the gastric or
gans is a disturbance Of the great nerve
entrepOt, the brain. Invigorate the stomach
and you restore equilibrium to the great CEN
tire. A most reliable medicine for the pur-
pose is Hostetter's Stomach Btters, which
is far preferable to mineral sedatives and
powerful narcotics, which, though they may
for time exert soporific influence upon
the brain, soon cease to act, and invariably
injure the tone of the stomach. The Bitters
on the contrary, restore activity to that all
important organ, and their beneficient influ-
ence is reflected in sound sleep and a tran
quill impetus is likewise given to the action
of the liver and bowels by its use.

Pass the Appellate Court Bill.

The senate bill for an intermediate
court of appeals has been favorably re-
ported for passage by the committee in
charge, and the printed bill, as modified
in some of its details, has been laid on the
desks OF the senators. The changes made
are for the better, and the measure should
now be adopted without delay. 1t has
had careful attention from trusted judges
and lawyers, as well as the committee, and
we trust may be adopted without material
change. Inasmuch as it is meritorious from
every aspect, and thus far has developed no
opposition, THE SENTINEL earnestly hopes
that it may be promptly passed by the
senate and sent to the house at once for
its action. 1t is a measure of the greatest
importance and one directly in the inter-
est of the farmers, workingmen and other
classes of our citizens who have so long
experienced the oppressive use made by
their ful-pursed and long-winded antago-
nists through appeals to the far behind
supreme court. Let it be understood all
over the state that the day OF the bullying
adjusting agents" OF the railroad and in
surance companies and other great con-
Germs has passed, and that the citizen hold
ing a claim worth 100 cents on the dollar
has only himself to blame if he accepts
less. Give our people the speedy justice
the constitution so solemnly insures.
The trial courts i'll all the counties
are rendering satisfactory service. Cases
are promptly heard and promptly
decided. The supreme court, also. is
teadily and industriously grinding away
on the mass of appeals before it, but 1t is
wholly unequal to the task of deciding
them as they are presented. When the
Commission" ceased its work, about four
years ago. there were, we. are advised,
zoo cases. in round numbers, on the dock
ct Since then the increase has swelled
to the neighborhood of ], 200. The result
is the court is away behind, and long
period of delay is thus assured to the
party desiring TO take advantage OF it..
This advantage, secured by the mere filing
of a bond, is one of tremendous power
when exerted against citizen contendiug
unaided with strong and INSCRIPTIONS
adversary, and it is an influence that is
being used in every quarter of the state,
and continually. to extort compromises on
terms so rankIy unjust as practically to
amount to open robbery.

ing az it does on our citizens of all ranks

THE SENTINEL said yesterday, we cannot
hope for fair assessments that will make
the railroads pay their fair proportion of
the taxes until this is done.
In many respects, to be sure, tax on
gross receipts paid directly into the state
treasury would be preferable; but such
tax would be of doubtful constitutional
ity, and no risks of that kind must be
taken. If the assessments are made by
experts, as they doubtless will be, the
state will be in condition to begin to pay
its debts.
Under present assessments and present
rates of taxation the state treasury would
receive from this source more than 81 ,600,-
600; if the assessments are raised to a fair
amount S2,250000 will surely come from
this source. This amount would put our
finances into good condition at once.
Some opposition to Mr.. OPPENHEM's bill
may come from counties that fear their
local income will be unduly reduced.
There is no reason for such feeling. Am
pie resources are left the counties that
will be surer and can be much more cas-
lily controlled. The counties, by the re-
lease of other property from state tax
alton that must accompany this bill,
will gain more than they lose.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1891-02-11
Fair Assessments,

Though other questions may have equal
fees and salaries, the real welfare of our
state is more dependent upon the way in
which the legislature settles the question
of taxation than upon its action in any
other case. 1t will be to our discredit il
the pay OF county officers is not fixed
by a just law; if our supreme court is not
relieved; if some general system of roads
and efficient plan of working them are not
devised; but unless our treasury is re-
heved severe blow at the credit of the
state will be given.
Indiana is wealthy-far Weather than
many of her sister states that have no diff
ficulty in keeping free from debt. 1t will
be a disgrace. and real injury to the
good name of the state, if our lawmakers
do not find some means of increasing the
states income TO such an extent that not
merely the current expenses may be paid,
but also a way provided for paying off the
present debt.
The great difficulty in all systems of
taxation is TO secure fair assessments. No
state In the world has succeeded in secur-
ing a perfect assessment OF all the
property, but many have done better than
Indiana. So long az the temptation ex-
lists people will make false returns, and as
SCISSORS, rather than make enemies, will
yield their assent.
The bill introduced by Mr.. BEAsLEY of
the house few days ago will do much
to remove the temptation, il it is properly
supplemented by other bills. A county
assessor with assistants who know ex-
actly the value of the kinds of property
they assess will surely be great improve
ment upon the present system; but until
the state taxes are raised from entirely
different sources than the local taxes, the
competition between the counties for low
assessments will prevent any fair es-
Inmates OF the value OF property.
Let the state get its revenue from the
corporations, from requests and inherit

A Separate State Tax for General Pur.

''No state taxes for general purposes
or for defraying the expenses of the state
government have been levied since the
year 1885," says the secretary of state of
Wisconsin in his last report. Receipts
from railway licenses, insurance COM
panies' licenses and various other sources
have been ample 10 meet the
expenses Of the government" The
''yArious other sources" include tele-
graph and telephone companies, hawkers'
and peddlers' licenses, railway car COM
panies, etc.
These companies are the proper sources
of state revenues. Railroad, telegraph
and telephone properties have not been
fairly assessed by the different counties
in Indiana. Assessors have not had the
expert knowledge required, and the re-
suit is that these great corporations have
paid in reality far less than their just
share OF the taxes. Let them nay directly
to the state on their gross receipts or net
receipts, or on their property. as seems
wise and constitutional to the legislature /;
but let them pay their fair proportion.
This revenue will support the state, and
the land and property taxes, if not ap-
piled TO state uses. VIII give sufficient
revenues TO the counties and towns at
lower rates of taxation than the present
ones.
Unless thu state taxes are separated
from the local taxes we cannot get fair APP
praisements; with this separation, how
ever, ii expert assessors are appointed as
provided in the Beasley bill. we may hope
ior juster taxation.
People do not complain of heavy taxa
ton; they complain OF unfair taxation.
The landowner, the man working on a
small salary, the widow living on the pro-
ceeds of a life insurance fund, are willing
to pay taxes; but they are unwilling that
railroads shall be assessed at one-fourth
their real value. while the men who hold
large blocks of stock escape entirely by
concealment of their property, az is so fire.
quently the case.
Put the great corporations into a class
by themselves; put special burden upon
them TO carry--not of course an unfairly
heavy one, but a just one-and one step
will have been taken toward better sys-
tenn of taxation rs well as toward the
strengthening of our credit
