TAX STRIKERS AoAIN REBUFFED

Y MONG the recent decisions which have come
I \ to hand is one by the Supreme Court Of
Michigan holding that the tax-shirking ex-
press companies, which for upward Of a year now
have been evadng their taxes, must stamp bills
OF lading before issuing them The in which this
opinion was rendered was application for writ OF
mandate TO one OF the Circuit Courts of Michigan
made by Attorney General Maynard the request OF
a number OF shippers. The suit was brought against
the American Express Company, and the court was
asked to order that corporation stamp its bills OF
lading before issuing them.
The opinion written by Justice Long, is an exten-
siye dissertation upon the subject of revenue, the
power OF Congress to impose stamp taxes, the juris
dcton OF State courts issue wrs OF mandate, and
the duty OF express companies under schedule A OF
the war revenue act to pay their taxes. In the
course OF his observations under the latter head Jus
tice Long says:
By the act every express company IS compelled to
issue to every shipper or consgnor bill of lading
for each shipment received for carriage, to which bill
OF ladng and duplicate thereof shall be attached and
Cancelled a stamp OF the value OF I cent The law,
therefore imposes upon the carrier the obligation to
issue the receipt With this the shipper has nothing
to do. He delivers the package TO the company,
pays or tenders the usual charges. This ends the
shippers duty and the law then compels the carrier
to issue the receipt or bill OF lading. This bill must
be stamped and the stamp cancelled is evident that
It is as much the duty OF the company to place the
stamp upon the receipt and cancel it it is to issue
the receipt. This duty is made apparent by the
fact that the act further provides that failure issue
the receipt makes the carrier so falling amenable to
heavy penalty"
This states the succinctly, and in accordance
with the opinion the Michigan Supreme Court
unanimously ordered the mandate to issue, thus put
ting on record in practical way its view OF the law
The American Express Company however, has ap-
pealed to the United States Supreme Court and thus
hung up the decision In the meantime it is robbing
the shippers OF Michigan, as Wells Fargo & Co. are
robbing the shippers OF California, OF several
thousand dollars per month.
The interesting question in connection with this
matter, however, IS how the shippers to get even
the express companies after the United States SUI
preme Court sustains all the decisions rendered by
the State and inferior Federal court At present the
shippers paying the taxes of the express
companies. Is there any way in which they can re-
coup themselves later on?

traction, as his name would Indicate; but
while ordinarily of a phlegmatic disposi-
ton, his humor machine is easily started
running Several years ago, while he was
still a captain and on shore leave, he was
invited to join a party of equestrians.
During the ride Captain Kautz, whose
horsemanship was perhaps on par with
that of most men of his profession, was
thrown and got rather bad fall.
He was up in a moment and to the
anxious inquiries of his friends replied
that he was not hurt. 1t was evident,
however, that the captain had been badly
shaken up, but he stuck to the story that
there was nothing the matter with him.
Hurt? Me hurtn he said. . could
not be hurt by a fall from horse. Why,

onel of cavalry
Captain Kautz was hurt, however, and
had to take to his bed. Some days later
he was visited by several of his friends,
who guyed him about the denial that he
was hurt and also about the reason he
had given for immunity from injury by
that particular kind of accident.
That's all right said the doughty
captain, as he WINGED at the pain in his
back; but my reason would have held
good and I wouldn't be here now but for
one thing. Why, you wouldn't believe it,
but l have just heard that on the very

The story that Cardinal Rampolla, Papal Secretary
of State is exerting every effort to conceal the dan
gerous condition OF the Pope with the object of pre-
venting the Powers from working in advance for the
next conclave, is very interesting contribution to
current history nasmuch it shows that Europeans
in matters of politics never arrange programme be-
orehand but wait until the happens before con-
siderng what they will do next. No European power
having interest in the papacy would presume it
seems to make slate before the Pope is dead, and
therefore Rampolla has the game in his own hands.
