Railroads will Escape The Tax.

One of the most prominent attorneys OF
the state gave it as his opinion the other
day while discussing the deficiency tax,
that railroads and mortgage companies
and nonresident tax payers could be
relieved from the payment of the defici-
ency tax, even if our own supreme court
should hold it constitutional. He stated
that the state courts have exclusive
jurisdiction over matters between citizens
of this state, and after the present su-
preme court Judges having advised the
governor that the unlimited deficiency
tax would be constitutional, they would
undoubtedly so hold when a case came
before them. 1t was upon the advise of
the present supreme court that the tax
was levied and the supreme court, if re-
elected, would hardly go back on the
governor and his tax officers by changing
its opinion after once given.
The railroads of the state are foreign
corporations, and so are the loan COM
panies. Their interests with other nom
residents are heavy tax payers, and the
amount of the deficiency tax to them
would exceed $1,000. hence the United
States court would nave Jurisdiction, and
would undoubtedly hold the deficiency
tax unconstitutional and thus relieve the
railroads, loan companies and nOn.rsi-
dents from paying the deficiency tax.
The decisions Of the state court would
not be binding on the Federal court, nor
that of 'the Federal court on the state
court, hence the railroads, loan compan-
ies and non-residents would be exempt
from this infamous deficiency tax, while

l Vote'the Independent ticket cad escape
1.-The deficiency tax. The Independent
supreme court judges would becompelled
! to declare the tax illegal where "a test case
was carried up.
No wander that every railroad attorney
in the state is supporting the present SUI
preme court judges, who are ,p0werlesS
to injure<the railroads, but are able 'ta
I'do them good. ...
The corporations are not leic.ling at:the

people hope to escape the deficiency lax,

nominees.

Two Of the members of the present
supreme court have long passed the age
of ;three score and ten when the United
Staaes allows judges TO retire for old age,
and when whatever the respect or admir-
atiom bestowed upon u man, it is I'm
iversally acknowledged that his day OF
action is done. Should Judges Bennett
and Corson be reelected and serve out
their terms they will be eighty foor, and
seventy eight years old respectively. AT
that age, even though their mental
powers should xemain unimpaired their
physical strength would not permit a
discharge of their duties. Even now
they are with only four years of litigation.
nearly year and half beh nd in their
decisions. With advancing age and an
increasing docket ahey would necessarily
involve the state in very grlevous delays.
'Old men Cor counscl, young men for
war; is an admirable motto. But men
may be too old for counsel when counsel
involves careful research and earnest
work 1t must be remenbere that the
procedure of the courts and the construct
ion of the constitution have not yet been
determined. They should not be left in
feeble hands. s.-Argus-Leader.

Canton News il evidently getting scared
ut the way things are panninS out in his
county. In his last paper he just quakes
with fear that the republicans will vote
for Kennedy instead Of the old fossil re-

He says that he hadn't supposed that the
republicans Of Lincoln county were going
to vote for Kennedy, if he had he would
have just everlastlngly waded into them.
Nash declares that he isn't afraid but
that he hadu't supposed that tho repub-
