TAXING EXPRESS COMPANIES.
rhe Supreme Court Uphoids the Right of
States to do So,

States to do So.
Washington, ID, c., Feb. In the
United States Supreme Court today
the Ohio tax cnscs We're decided in fav-
or of the state. The opinion was deliv-
cred by Chief Justice Fuller on behalf
of the majority of the court. Justices
Field, Harlan and Brown dissented
Under the state law, which was as
sailed by the express companies, these
companies are taxed in three forms.
First, on their real estate; second,
upon their gross receipts on business
done within the state. and third, they
are additionally assessed by n state
board
1t was the last assessment to which
the company took exception. For the
three years involved. the state board
has increased the valuation of the prop
crty In assessments under this law
from $2S0.S62 to SI294, ,TO2 This in
creased valuation was arrived at by
taking the market value of the entire
capital stock of the express companies
as II basis for arriving Mt the true value
in money of the companies property in
Ohio.
The chief justice did not make his
opinion public, merely announcing that
the decision of the court below had
been affirmed.
Justice White delivered the opinion
of the dissenting justices, saying rec
ogntion of the right of taxation exert
ed by the state of Ohio in these cases
must, if followed into other states, not
only reproduce the illegality and in
justice here shown, but greatly in
crease it. as every new imposition will
be new levy on property already
taxed and result in an additional bur
den of interstate commerce.
The chief justice also announced the
decision of the court in the cases in
volving the extent of the taxing power
as applied to express companies and
telegraph companies in Indiana, affirm
ing the decision of the state court in
each case, and thus sustaining the law

FACTS ABOUT MILK.

1t is the solid matter IN the milk that
gives it its value.
There is more sugar in milk than any
other solid component.
In well-regulated dairies each COW is
MIXED about ten months year; the
remainder of the year she is said to be
dry"
Holstein COWS are noted for produc-
ing enormous quantities of milk,
though not generally of the highest
quality.
The proportion of fat varies more in
milk than any other constituent; the
larger the proportion of fat the richer
the milk.
The milk of Jersey and Guernsey
cows has globules of the largest form.
and explains why the cream rises so
rapidly on 1t
Milk sugar can be separated and
brought into solid form, and resembles
powdered white sugar Its chief use
is medicinal.
Jerseys and Guernseys, sometimes in
correctly termed Alderneys, produce a
rich milk suitable for creamery uses,
as the cream rises rapidly.
Durham and Ayrshire cows give milk
of an average quality, in which the
cream rises slowly, and hence are
sometimes termed good "milkman's
cows"
In most states nnd many large cities
the standard of milk is maintained by
law, which requires 3 or az per cent.
Of fat and 9 or 9h per cent Of other
solids.
The solid constituents present in the
serum In largest quantity are sugar
and casein: albumen and mineral mat
ters in small quantities, and also little
Hbrin. resembling the fibrin Of the
blood.
