AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Taxes $235,OOe.000 of Corporation
Property.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 24.-The SUI
preme court has affirmed the Judgment
Vt the circuit court of Sangamon
county in what is known as the Chi
cago teachers tax case. This in effect
awards writ of mandamus against
the state board of equalization to com
pei 1t to assess the capital stock, in
Guiding franchises of twenty Chicago
corporations, the fair cash value of
whose capital stock, including fran
chises over and above the value of
their tangible property, is alleged to
aggregate $235,0O0,0O0.
This case was instituted by the
states attorney of Sangamon county
at the instance of the Chicago Teach
of mandamus to compel the state
board of equalization to assess the
corporations which, it was alleged,
have hitherto escaped taxation by the
board. The court holds that the
board in assessing corporations does
not act as a board of review, but as an
| original assessor, and that the per.
Torrance Of its duty to assess the fail
cash value of capital stock, including
| franchises over ana above the value
of tangible property may be enforced
| by mandamuS.
Instead OF making proper assess
ment, the court says that the boart
arbitrarily and willfully failed to fol
low Il proper and long established rule
IN force in this state for making sucl
assessments by refusing to take int
consideration in making such assess
ntents the bonded indebtedness of sale
corporations. They also disregarded al
other rules for the making of such as

filing Of this petition, ana for the pur
pose Of evading their duty sought t.

ilCu ctdtCo VI III any otdtC III INC
| Union. The courts have SO held
whenever and wherever the question
has arisen. TO destroy monopoly
the machinery of the courts need
only to be put in motion. This ev-
cry lawyer within the corporate lin
its of the Union knows. Further
every law upon the statute books of
the United States against combines,
trusts and monopolies has been put
there by Republican congress and
signed by Republican president.
Although the Sherman law was
passed in 1890 by Republican
president, the Democratic party, in
its platform of 1899, promised to
destroy "trust" if put into power.
Unfortunately for the country, that
party was put into full power. They
had the House, Senate and President.
What was done? Eleven bills
against "trusts" were introduced in
10 the House and Senate. and six of
these went to the committee on
Ways and Means. Mr.. Bryan was
in the House and was member of
that committee. What became of
all those bills3 Nothing. They
were never reported out of the com
mittee. Why not? Why were
"trusts" not crushed? They had
full power to pass constitutional
law. If the Sherman law was not
complete, why not correct it? Was
one of these bills introduced for
publication only ever reported out
of committee and voted on?. No.
The records of the fifty third con-
gress show all these facts. What
demagoguery! Congress exhausted
its power over the subject in the
Sherman act. President Cleveland
knew this and said in his annual
message (IS87) to congress.
The Democrats always talk against
"trustY and always vote for them.
The last vote was on.the proposition
of the Republicans to amend the
Constitution, SO as to give congress
more power over "trusts." Demo-
Gratis in the House delivered prepar-
ed speeches against "trusts." while
the records of the ffty-sixth con-
gress show that they voted for
"trusts" and against the amendment.
Republicans ought to let the Dem
ocrats have monopoly of dema-
goguery. l want to suggest to my
Republican friends not to enter that
field. The combine is too strong
and you will certainly be crushed.
The other side are too we'll equipped;
you must not enter, you will be de-
stroyed. Save yourself by keeping
out.
Prosperity in the United States
today is without an original, and is
unparalleled in the whole history of
our country. Who would disturb
present conditions must be bold
adventurer indeed. Because some
combination takes advantage of the
conditions is no reason for the agi-
tation of question which will SER
iously menace the prosperity of the
country, paralyze industries and
bring in its path ruin, disaster, mis-
cry, want, poverty.
No, do not attempt revision. Let
reciprocity be carried on when and
where it will benefit the people and
do no injury to any of US.
