doing business on the mutual plan,
and he said that In New York alone
the wording of the act exempting such
companies would relieve millions of
dollars worth of property from this
operation The leading mutual insur-
anee company would secure the ben
efit of an exemption on its income
amounting to 100000 q year. while Ats
rival, or organized on the stock PLAN
would have,to pay its income tax. This
advantage was given in the law, he
asserted. simply because some one
wanted to favor some particular NUT
ual company.
Mr.. Guthrie dwelt upon the exemption
In the interest OF the building and loan
associations, which We're, he said. re
lleved of the annual payment of $780,
600, and whose assets, 1t had been as
serted, were greater than the combln-
alton OF capital of all total banks All
that men would have TO do 10 evade
the law would be to organize loan ana
building associations. He argued that
II the present law should he held to be
constitutional congress could levy a
duty of 25 per cent ON the imports OF
individuals and of 80 per cent on those
OF corporations. or II the sentiment OF
congress should change II could as
easily reverse the process In favor OF
corporations.
The principle would be the same.
III you are going to discriminate nj
all" said he. you cannot say thus fal
shalt thou go and no farther
"If the power to discriminate exists
the power to destroy also exists"
lie argued that even the mutual com
panles and others OF the favored class
would not be secure, for they and the
benevolent associations might become
so powerful under the faVorltlsm showr
that congress would next turn upor
them. He declared, therefore, that th'
power of congress to make exemptions
should be restricted.
Taking up the provisions of the con
| stltutiun requiring uniformity IN levy
! ing import taxes. etc, he refuted th'
| argument that the word uniformity wa
| meant TO have geographical applica

| of one state as against another con
| tending that IT was meant to give equal

The present arrangement of the con

washington, March Tan import
ant question relating TO copyrights has
been raised by a well known publisher
and is now under consideration at the
treasury department. The old copy
right law made It Illegal TO bring Into
the United States foreign copies of
books copyrighted in this country. The
law OF 1891 amended the old law In
some unimportant particulars. but ex-
pressly stated 1t was not to 80 INTO
effect until subsequent date TO July
/. 1891. The question involved ~
whether the new law, being retroactive.
did not release from the importation
prohibition all books of American au-
thors copyrighted prior to July l. 1891.
Should It be held that the new law
took the place of the other on foreign
editions OF all American books, books
written and copyrighted prior to 1891
might herafter be imported free Of
duty and without regard to American
copyright, which would necessarily IN
terfere with the publishing business in
this country.

the prosecution is conducted by the
public officers as an offense against
the public rather than as against an
individual. the theory of the law being
that libel against Mr. Noyes or any
other citizen is an offense against the
peace and quiet of the community, to
be prosecuted In the same manner as
any other disturbance of the public
peace. When the warrants are Issued
Messrs Dana and Laffan will have
three couses open to them. They may
submit to arrest or decline to give
bail, in which case they will be brought
TO Washington TO stand trial. IL they
give bail II will insure their coming to
Washington at the time the case is
called In the United States court In

Our Frf nds and Neighbors, or Whom it
May Concerns This is TO certify that on the
18th day of November we purchased a
Home Comfort " steel range of MIR. G. w
Griswold, salesman for said range. We
find the range just as represented in every
respect. We first tried it with wood and
found it perfect wood burner, using about
half what former ranges used and still doing
double the work. We then tIied coal, and
find it the most complete coal burner we
ever saw. We can regulate it as easily as W g
can a lamp. The hot water front system in
connection with the range is the best we ever
saw. In fact, it is the finest heater, baker and
fuel-eaver we ever used. We set out almost
new cast iron range, and are now through
with cast iron ranges. Call and see our
range and you will surely buy one.-H. S.
