STILL EvADINe TAXES.
The Wells-Fargo Company Carries
It's Trouble to the Federal
Courts

That the Fargo Company does not
intend to pay its shareNof the revenue
tax until forced to do so has been evil
denced again by It's latest move A short
time ago it was sued for having refused
to accept for transmission q package
upon which the man proffering it had de-
clined to place the revenue stamp His
excuse for declining was that the law
delegated this duty to the corporation.
However, the corporation was obdurate,
was sued in the Justice Court, defeated
there, took it's case to the Superior Court
and was once more defeated. Knowing
that a similar fate must await it in any
similar suit before the same tribunal it
seeks another.
There are two actions pending against
the company now On the ground the ini-
tial one rested upon so securely The
company would not abide by the revenue
law. The actions were brought in the
Superior Court, each demanding damages
in the sum of $50. The corporation coun-
sci has raised the point that the tribunal
properly having Jurisdiction is the United
States Circuit Court, and thither the
suits have been sent, Justice of the Peace
Cook signing the necessary order. The
Wells-Fargo Company being organized
under the laws of Colorado, contention is
set up that the action is really brought by
residents of one State against residents of
another State.

by men and women who wished to hear
the issues of the present State and local

Of the fusion forces. But two or three of
the noted speakers had sufficiently PEN

feet from the stand, and as these few
said practically all the others repeated,
there was no occasion for the outsiders
to strain their ears

the voters of the city led him to make a
misstatement of fact. and the result is
that he is 'hoist by his own petard.'
The Mayor became enthusiastic in
praising himself and in the course of his
address inJudiciously took up the popu-
lar subject of the new paving of Market
street. He and his advocates have taken
great pains to impress upon the public
that he was responsible for that piece of
enterprise. but have done lone 50 in an

Some of the newspapers of the city
are attempting to mislead you and
are making attacks upon us for what
we have done. In a morning pa
per of the Republican persuasion there
appears belittling attack upon our
street work, the work that we have
done on Market street, which has con-
verted that street into a beautiful
thoroughfare, which attracts our Wis
itors and keeps our people here.
Mr.. Phelan then proceeded to throw
more bouquets at himself about what he
has accomplished in the repaving of the
citys greatest thoroughfare. but the of
fetal records show that the Mayor de-
liberately avoided the responsibility of
signing the order for this important re-
paving work. and that he did not attach
his signature 70 it. The resolution be-
came a law by default, and the fact was
attested by the clerk of the Board of 'Su-
pervisors in the official publication on
ApriI 25 The ACCOMPANYING extract from
the resolutions shows how brazenly Mr..
Phelan has deceived the public in this
matter, and how deeply he was interested
in the repaving of Market street.
