ROAD AND RUBsER TIRn

One of the most remarkable develop
ments ever Witnessed in popular habits
and conduct is revealed in the universal
Use in which the bicycle now is among all
classes and conditions of people. Young
and old, male and female, the masses
are day by day resorting more numer-
ously to the bicycle as their means of
locomotion. Public authority, which was
so long disposed to regard the innova-
tton as something Of a public and pri
vate menace, now feels called on to make
the most liberal provision for the ac-
commodation of the riders of such ma
chimes. The trade in bicycles has reach
ed extraordinary proportions, and IT is
quite plain that it Is growing daily.
1t will be but short time before the
use Of the bicycle has increased many
times beyond what it is now. The tenn
porary provision which is being made
for cycle paths will give way to a per-

there was no reason why you should have

''You had no right to suggest such a

''Nonsense!" he retorted IF every
man went on that principle there would
be no lovemaking done. You might havc
refused me. You had that privilege
But to get up and say you were insulted
and go on the way you did was mere
folly"
She drew herself up angrily You pre-

1t is a difficult job to suppress the the

spring, when Mr.. Murphy was playing

hotel waiter asked him for two com
plimentaries, and as the actors gener-
osfty toward walters. bootblacks and ho-
tel employees is proverbial he received
them. The recipient lost no time in sell
Ing the passes to a drummer and pocket
ed 81 for his enterprise. A few weeks ago
the same waiter again asked for a
ticket. This time he said one would do.
DO you want to see the play your
self?'' inquired the elongated comedian.
Yes, sir if you please"
"If I give you a pass will you use it
yourself?"
''You bet I will" was the emphatic re-
ply
Come here. then" said the actor.
Drawing a pencil from his pocket he
wrote across the polished shirt of the
waiter: Pass this man tonight-if he is
sober, and dated the line, "Show that
at the box office window" he added, land
they will give you a seat coupon"
At O'Clock the waiter presented him
self at the box office and, pointing toward
his wishbone, Inquired: rs this ticket

Certainly" replied the ticket seller
Give me a coupon, please"
All right, but I'll have to punch that
ticket if it is complimentary

But I'm afraid it will spoil your shirt

A rubber stamp was pressed against the
linen and the waiter approached the
door, holding up the coupon for inspec-
ton.

THE ERICKSON VERDICT

The verdict reached so promptly In the
Erickson murder case is one in which it
is not difficult to concur. The character
of the story told by the prosecuting wit
ness, his own evident mental and nervous
peculiarities and weaknesses and the
length of time during which he remained
silent, all united to throw the utmost dis
credit on his story from the outset.
Police and public prosecutors alike are
repeatedly imposed on by such stories as
this man told in this case; but there does
not seem to be any substantial reason
why all the expensive machinery of the
criminal law should have been set in mo-
ton to secure a conviction in this case
The story told was to all intents without
confederation; and the sworn statement
of wandering ne'er-dowell could hardly
be regarded as sufficient to secure con-
viction as against the oath of the ac-
cUsed man, who bad continued to live In
the community since the death of hta
brother, and to be engaged in legitimate
business, nleeIng all mis- obHgat1OnS and
apparently living an entirely blameless
life
There have been too many Of such
aborttve prosecutions In this city in the
past. 1t is not necessary to recall them.
No one is willing to blame the county at
torney if he should refuse, save on the
most convincing proof to take up many
of the cases which have been tried with
out result for some time past 1t Is in
finiteiy better to leave such cases without
investigation, rather than to produce the
effort of public disappointment and an
ting the machinery of justice in operation
in vain in any direction.

there is nothing left save the sawdust

reads its proceedings in declaring that

MORTGAGE COMPANY WINS
SUPREME COURT REDUCES ASSESS
MENT ON IT'S ASSETS.

A decision handed down by Associate
Justlce Lovely, in the supreme court yes
Lerday, decided in favor of the London 81
Northwest Mortgage company in the case
brought against it by County Treasurer
O ii. Arosin to enforce the collection of
taxes. The company asked for credit in
computing It's taxable liability for It's
debts. The matter was taken before
Judge Kelly, who reduced the estimate
OF the company assets to about S65, ,000
but refused to go any further, it being
claimed that much of the paper held by
the company was worthless The supreme
court. however, holds that the court
should have thrown out all the worthless
paper and reduced the remainder to its
true value.
The syllabus is as follows:
l. A nonresident owning credits in
lnls state which are retained here IN the
hands OF an agent to close up a loaning
business may be required to list the same
Tor taxation and the situs of such prop
erty for taxation in the taxing locality
where ouch agent has his office for the
transaction of such business
z The fact that such nonresident be-
comes 1nSoINent and there is a change of
agent, but there remains in the state a
pCruon Of such property, while in the
process OF closing up such business, does
not relieve such properly from contribut-
ing It's share to the common burdens of
3. Deductions for indebtedness are au-
thorized by the state constitution, but
such indebtedness must be furnished to
S1le dSSeSSoI dL the time the credits and
loans are listed, and 1t is too late after
the board of equalization has acted upon
the assessment to raise the objection that
such deductions have not been in fact
made.
= 4. The provisions of 1925 and 1926, Cen

tions for Indebtedness to be made in the
6rst instance to the assessor, as held in
state vs.; Clarke. 79 n. w. Reports, S31,
are not In violation of sections 1 and 8,
article g. Of our state constitution.
5. Where the assessed valuation of per-
sonal property is so excessive as to clear
ly Indicate unfairness and injustice, as
shown by proof to the trial court, upon
review such assessment should be reduced
