INSURANCE CASE ARGUMENT.
The Supreme Court of State Listened
to 1t Yesterday.


to 1t Yesterday.
The case Of the State Board of Tax Com
missioners ct al. VS.. John H. Holiday ct al
on appeal from the Circuit Court was ar
gued before the Supreme Court yesterday.
The State Board of Tax Commissioners was
represented in the argument by s. ~ Cham
bers, Attorney General Kateham and S. NJ
Shepard. and the appellees by A. G. Smith
and Charles A. Korbly. youminous briefs
have been submitted in this case and the
outcome is of much interest to insurance
companies and paid-up policy holders. The
tax commissioners regard paid-up policies
and those containing endowment and cash
surrender value features as property and,
as SUCH subject to taxation. The state
holds that the constitution requires that all
property shall be taxed. except certain
classes that are named as specially exempt.
The appellees maintain that, while the
Legislature has the right to place tax on
life insurance policies it has never imposed
any such tax. They maintain that when
that body passed an act enumerating the
subjects of taxation life insurance policies
were not mentioned The state, on the
other hand, asserts that such terms in the
statute as CLAIMS and ',other property"
should be held to include insurance. policies.
The appellees assert that the state board
not only goes beyond it's constitutional au-
tbority in endeavoring to levy such tax,
but that its assumptions are false in fact.
1t is assumed that there are large numbers
Of paid-up life insurance policies held by
citizens of Indiana on which considerable
dividends are paid and that they are there
fore to be regarded as investments for the
purpose of revenue. This. the appellees
that there are a few paid-up policies upon
which dividends are paid, but none in large
amounts, and that the largest dividends do
not exceed one-half of / per cent. annually
on the face of the. policy, and generally 1t
is less than that. 1t is also assumed by the
board that all life insurance policies are at
all times subject to surrender for a cash
value. This, the appellees bold, is also false.
That as matter of fact few companies
contract to pay aav cash value on surrender
of the policy and that no one of the policies
before the court has any such provision.

He wears no wreath of laurel;
He never strikes a Tyre,
He never talks of genius"
Nor affects celestial fire."
Yet we read him and we heed him.
Patriarchs and growing lads
Testify how much We heed him
The man who writes the ads.
BY language chaste and simple
The heart and purse are stirred,
When he selects his topic
And lnvents a household word.
Even Mammon offers tributes
(Which are coarsely known as 'scadSD

Who couldn't write with power
On such themes as birds and bees''

ARMY AND NAVY UNION.
Members Expelled for Alleged Dis
loyalty to the Society.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. H.-The Army
and Navy Union of the United States began
it's eighth annual meeting in Shrine Hall
in this city at 10 O'Clock this morning.
Many well-known members of the union
are here from different parts of the coun-
try The morning session was confined to
welcoming addresses and responses and a
small amount Of routine business. One Of
the principal matters of interest that Will
come before the meeting for consideration
will be submitted by Col. Il. l. Davis of
Omaha, who comes by invitation to submit
a plan for mutual benefit insurance among
the members to create fund for the pay
ment of death benefits 20 the dependent
widows and orphans.
Sensational proceedings marked the after
noon session. BY unanimous vote the
corps ordered the recall of the charter of
John M. Schofield Garrison, at Washington,
mander j. b. Morton and dishonorably
discharged Daniel o. brennan, pay
master general of the union. both of whom
are members of Schofield Garrison. This
action was taken on the recommendation of
National Commander Henry Shindler,. Of
Leavenworth, Kan, who charged Schofeld
and brennan, with disloyalty to the Organi-
cation and its regularly appointed officers
The expulsion is an outcome of bitter
fight that has been waged by Schoheld
Garrison upon r. A. Tanning adjutant
general of the union. National Commander
Shindler reported that their action had been
'unbecoming and wholly out of reason"
and vote of the corps showed that ma
jority agreed with him.
Messrs Morton and brennan are clerks
in the office of Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
commander-in-chief of the United States
army, and both have long been prominent
in army circles. ID. O. brennan, the dis
charged paymaster general of the union,
did not put in an appearance at the meet
ing, but submitted his report by mail, send
ing a draft for the balance due the organi-
zation. Adjutant General Tanning notified
the meeting that the remittance was $50
short.

Under the supervision of William r. Me-
Keen, jr., the shops Of the Vandalia at
Terre Haute, within the last eighteen
months have been partially rebuilt on more
modern plars. These shops were built in
the late forties, and at that time were
among the best in the country, East or
West. and at different times have been
added to, but no definite plan looking to
making convenient shops was seemingly
thought Of As a consequence there had
70 be general replanning of the shops, and
this work was assigned to Master Mechanic
AicKeen, which he virtually did. One of the
flrst things he did was to change the plan
OF the machine shop, and as now arranged
the machinery, much of which is new, is in
the front part of the building, and under
the same roof are tracks to repair at one
time six locomotives. Formerly this work
was done in three different buildings. Ad-
joining the machine shops is the boiler de-
partment, which has also been made a more
commodious and cheerful building and sup
piled with conveniences to handle boilers
with perfect ease by air pressure which is
also used in the engine building and repair
ing department The company has pur-
chased very fine stationary engine of two
hundred-horse power, which has just been
put in service and in the same room is an
ingalls, air-pressure engine of 120-horse
power, which furnishes air pressure power
for all parts of the shop where it's use is of
advantage. The car departments have also
been remodeled. In the coach department
six coaches can be undergoing repairs at the
same time, and the freight-car repairing
department has been rearranged so that it
is much more convenient than formerly. In
the engine house, which has twenty-nine
stalls, there has been a general overhaul
ing, new pits put in and new smoke escape
stacks over each locomotive track, and the
arrangements for supplying the locomotives
with water and coal have been greatly inn
proved. In fact, the shops are now cheer
fui, clean and inviting, and the employees
show their appreciation of the improve
mentS. There are now 56S men on the pay
rolls of the shops, and large per cent. of
them now work by the piece and are much
pleased with 1t. Expert mechanics who,
when paid by the day, received 20 cents an
hour, now, working by the piece average
50 cents an hour and Mr.. Mckeen says none
would wish to go oaek to the old plan of
day work The company has fifteen loco
motives equipped with electric headlights,
and has now set apart a room in which to
not only repair their own electric headlights,
but to build them, and considerable num-
Der of the locomotives will be provided with
them. Last week, when the Pennsy lvania
inspection party went through the shops,
Vice President McCrea called the attention
OF his associate officials to the orderly,
cleanly look everything about the premises
bore as in comparison with former years.
