CORPORATIONS MUST PAY
TAXES ON BRANCHES.
Supreme Court of Illinois Renders Decision
That May Result In Collections OF Mn-
lions In Taxes.

The supreme court OF Illinois has
affirmed the Judgment of the circuit
court of Sangamon county in what is
known as the Chicago teachers tax
case. This in effect awards writ of
mandamus against the state board of
equalization to compel it to assess the
capital stock, including franchises, of
twonty-three Chicago corporations the
fair cash value of whose capital stock,
including franchises over and above
the value of their tangible property, is
alleged to aggregate seas, ,00o.o 600. The
suit was instituted by the states at
torney of Sangamon county at the in.
stance of the Chicago teachers feder.
alton.
The court holds that the board In
assessing corporations does not act as
board of review, but as an original
assessor. Instead of making proper
assessment, the court says that the
board arbitrarily and willfully refused
to follow proper and long-established
rule in force in this state for making
such assessments, by refusing to take
into consideration the bonded indebt-
edness of said corporations.
They also disregarded all other rules
in force for the making of such assess
ments, sought to pass new rules for
their government, refused to consider
the information furnished them by the
assessors, as provided, and assessed
the capital and franchise of said cor
porations at nominal sum instead Of
at the fair cash value thereof.

Anaconda Mines Close Down While Reduce
tion Works Undergo Repairs.

Orders were given Thursday for the
shutting down of the Anaconda smell
tiers and mines until further notice.
The company states that the shutdown
is necessary because of the breaking of
the main driving shaft at the lower
concentrator of the Anaconda com
pany. The Parrot mine, one of the
largest in butte, was also closed and
will not resume operations, at the
earliest, until the smelter is again in
working order. Officials say the ore
bins are full at the mine and there is
no way to dispose of the product. The
smelters and mines at Anaconda and
the Parrot employ $500 men, who are
thrown out of employment until oper.
atoms are resumed at these places.

Doctor Claims to Have Cure For Lepro.y.

Dr. George j Augur, a Honolulu
physician recently applied to the board
of health for permission to privately
treat some leprosy cases, claiming to
have cure, but he was refused. The
law requires that all cases shall be re-
ported to the board at once, and the
sufferers deported at once, to the
settlement at Molokai He had made
protest on the ground that such a

Movement to Establish Permanent Census
Bureau


1t is expected that the census COM
mittees of both houses of congress at
the coming session will consider legis-
lation looking to the establishment of
a permanent census bureau. 1t is
claimed at the census office that ap-
proximately three-quarters of million
dollars could be saved from the cost OF
the next census if the officials could
profit by the knowledge and experience
of the present census.
A quintennial manufacturing census
also has been suggested The idea, SO
far as it has taken shape, and as 1t
probably will be outlined in bills to be
introduced in both houses, is to provide

be devoted to paying an additional
proportion of the first mortgage bonds.
Already 81, 250, 900 of the 81 800, 900 first
mortgage bonds has been paid. The
amount now due on the first mortgage
bonds is s446, 900
The exposition has nine days more.
If it should clear $50, 900 day for the
nine days it would have sufficient cash
to make the last payment on the first
mortgage bonds. If it fails to average
net profit of $50, 900 day there may
be default on part of the first mort.
gage bond payments.
The holders of the second mortgage
bonds seem to agree that no payment
will be made to them. The stock.
holders, of course, understand that no
payment will be made to them.
