AUST TAX IRE STOCK.
Sweeping Decision Handed Down
by the Supreme Court Of
Illinois.
Holds That Capital Stock and
Franchises Must Be As.
sessed for Taxes.
Ruling Is in the Case Brought
by Chicago Teachers
Federation.

Springfield, Oct. 24-Tne supreme
court this morning affirmed the deci-
sion of the lower court in the Chicago
teacshers tax case. in which they in
sisted that the capital stock of corpor-
atoms should be assessed. This ruling
affects a hundred million taxable prop
erty in Chicago, and includes the
franchises Of twenty Chicago corpora
tions, including street railways, cleo.
trio light, gas and telephone companies,
whose capital stock, including fran
chises, over and above the value OF their
tangible property, are alleged to aggre-
gate two hundred and thirty-fivc mill
lions. The case, which was instituted
by the states attorney of Sangamon
county, at the instance of tte Chicago
Teachers Federation. was for writ of
mandamus TO compel the state board of
equalization to assess corporations.
which it was alleged hitherto escaped
taxation. The court holds tnat the board
in assessing corporations does not act
as a board Of review. but as an original
assessor and performances of its duty to
assess q fair cash value of the capital
stock, including franchises, over and
above the value Of tangible property
may be enforced by mandamus. In
stead Of making a proper assessment
the court says the board arbitrarily
and willfully failed to follow the proper
and long established rule in force in the
state for making such assessments, by
refusing to take into consideration. in

fraud will not be presumed and the de-

then the fire got beyond control.
! p. ID. Mesny, insurance adjuster for
the packing company, telephoned to
Chief Musham of Chicago for assist
ance, and as soon as possible the Chica-
go department was on its way. Engine
company IL, in charge of Assistant Fire
Marshal John Campfon, left on the Chi
cago, Pittsburg & Fort Wayne railroad
from the union station. Nearly an hour
was lost in making UP the fire depart

fiat car az far as Brighton Park. where
1t was attached to a regular engine and
the trip to Hammond was made at the
rate of sixty miles an hour. At Grand
Crossing the special train carrying the
Chicago fire department was delayed
five miutes by a passenger train. AS
soon as the railroad officials learned
that the fire department. called for as
sistance from surrounding towns a spe-
cial was made up.
Assistant Fire Marshal Campion and
Hammond Fire Chief Boyd got into a
controversy about ordering men and the
two fire fighters nearly claehed. Cam
pion ordered number Of flremen OF the
local department to the south end of the
large burning building and this seemed
to displease Chief Boyd and after con-
siderable wrangling the chiefs went on
with their work of trying to check the
blaze.

wore two overcoats. e

Representative Burleigh, of Maine, a
leading Republican in the National
Congress, has expressed himself as fol-
lows on the question of an extra ses
sion:
Il don't want to come back to Wash
ington for an extra session of Con-
gress, but think the President will be
right in calling one to consider the Gu
ban constitution. He will be right in
asking Congress to share the RESPONSE
bility for what is done in the Island.
Whatever the policy pursued, there
will be more or less criticism. Repub-
licans in the Senate and House, to my
mind, should stand together on what
ever legislation may seem wise at the
extra session. if one is called"

TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY
OF Dudley SeIden NVe viii be Prepared by
Bar A: S0CiatiOn.

The Washington County Bar Asso-
citation met at the court room Thurs
day afternoon to take appropriate ac-
tion in regard to the demise of it's old
est member, Judge Dudley Selden Nye.
The meeting was called to order by
Judge M. d. Follett and it's proceed
ings were recorded by J. Belford.
High tribute to the deceased both
as man and lawyer were paid by
members of the association. A COM
mittee of three, comprised of l.. W.
Ellenwood, Judge M. D. Follett and
r. X. Shave was appointed to draft
resolutions of respect to the memory
OF the dead man.
These resolutions will be spread up
on the docket and made part of the
records. In response to the invita-
tion of Amrican Union Lodge No. l,
F. and A. M, that the bar be repre-
sented by speaker at the laying of
the corner stone for the court house
on April 9th, the association appoint
ed Judge Hiram l.. Sibley to repre-
sent the legal lights of the county.
After the meeting the bar, 25 mem

ApAY OF Resi-
WIN Sunday HencefOrih be for the Retail
GrOcsrs Of Marietta.

z The Retail Grocers' Association all
though one of the most recent of the
labor organizations in the city, has
already developed much strength and
undoubtedly will control the retail SER
vice in the city.
A large and enthusiastic meeting
was held in the council chamber last
evening and the questions pertinent
to the business received a full and in
telligent discussion.
TIE question of Sunday closing was
debated and the decision which was
| finally reached was to the effect that
hereafter no goods would be sold on
Sunday.
1t was the opinion of the assembled
grocers that on both religious and
physiological grounds it.was advisable
to close their places of business and
enjoy the entire Sabbath. n4
A strong resolution requiring all
members of the association to close on
Sunday and also threatening to pun
ish to the full extent of the law any
further transaction of business on
that day by any grocer of the city,
was unanimously adopted. The
grocers are resolute in the matter and
having once determined that business
enough can be done in six days of the
week, they have united to punish any
infringement of the State statues in
this respect. There are 50 retail groc
ers in the city and of this number all
but four have joined the union.
The next action which the associa
tion proposes taking refers to early
closing in the evening. This will be
discussed at the next meeting and the
probabilities are that a resolution
emDoding the night closing project
will be adopted.
