PATRIOTIC SONG AND SPEECH.
Nations Birthday Associations An
nuaI Meeting.

Patriotic song and speech was the order
of the evening at Plymouth Church last
night, the occasion of the third annual
meeting of the Nations Birthday Associa-
ton. Mostfof those present were youthful
and enthusiastic, and listened with interest
to all the exercises, actively participating
whenever there was opportunity.
The first thing on the programme was a
trio by the |. H. S. Mandolin Club followed
by an instrumental number by the Brass
Quartet. Mrs. F. E. Dewhurst rendered a
vocal solo, The Declaration of indie
pendence was read by Claude G. Bowers,
the young orator who recently carried off
the prize at the state high school ora
torical contest. He stood beside the desk,
which was draped about with the stars and
stripes, and read the old document in
ringing voice, with all the eloquence of
youthful enthusiasm. His fellow-students
applauded generously. Joseph b. Cameron
played a corneto solo. 1.-The Star-spangled
Banner" and Prof. Paul Bahr rendered

cause the people of to-day to suffer in our

his country to more advantage than any
other President. Washington was a re-
served and modest man, he said, who did
his duty with no blow of bugles or waving
of banners and no attempt at self-por-
traiture. He lived in time of secrecy not

RUNNING STOCK TAXABLE
SUPREME COURTS IMPORTANT
BUILDING ASSOCIATION DECISION.
No Reason for Distinguishins Be-
tween Fully Paid Up and Partly
Paid Up Credits.


The Supreme Court yesterday handed
down decision that will have the effect of
placing thousands of dollars on the tax du-
plcates 1t was no. less a decision than
that running building and loan stock is
taxable. The case came lip from Monroe
county in suit by Albert S. Harm to en-
join the treasurer of the county from col
lecting this tax. The, Monroe Circuit Court
held that the running stock was taxable.
and declined to grant the injunction. The
Supreme Court affif1ns that decision and
settles forever the disputes over this class
of building and loan stock.
The opinion was written by Justice Hack
ney, who reviews the laws governing the
taxation of building and loan associations,
and says that a construction of the laws by
which running stock SHOULD be exempt
would render the laws unconstitutional. He
says that person depositing money with
building and loan association with the ex-
pectation of having principal returned with
interest on demand is certainly creditor
of the association, and the certificate of
stock or pass book represents valuable
asset on which taxes ought to be paid. In
conclusion, the court says:
The suggestion taatD-the case of the

the appellant is certainly made upon mis-
apprehension of the holding in that case. 1t
was not decided in that case that there
should be specific selection of each article,
credit or kind of property to indicate the
legislative intention to tax it or to warrant
its assessment for taxation. A selection by
general classification isasufficient, and we do
not understand it to be claimed here that,
If we are correct in holding the appellants
right credit, it is not within the legislative
classification of property to be taxed.
The essence of the decision mentioned
was not in the holding that the Legislature
had not, directly or indirectly, supplied TIE
methods or instrumentalities for estimating
the value Of assessing policies of life, insur-
ance, and 1T was mote held that such poll
cies We're not included in the Legislative
classification of property for taxation. Nor
is it claimed that the credit here in ques-
tion possesses any popularity rendering its
valuation or assessment difficult, or that
there could be two or more methods of as
pertaining the value thereof, y We
know of no reason for distinguishing be-
tween fully paid-up and partly paid-up
credits of this class. A subscription of 81 200
upon which $500 has been paid is as valua-
BILE as a $500 subscription fully paid"

good Increase in gross earnings, but
actual decrease in operating expenses. A
large number of railroads are showing in

which can show both. The total income is

pany that is, excepting the Pennsylvania

report before accepting 1t. There is al
idea prevalent among the minority holders
that the Pennsylvania may be following
out a policy which will be more favorable
to the Pennsylvania system than to the in

too many cases directors reports are ac-

of the case, stockholders can obtain little
