Maine Passes a Law That Will
Attract the Trusts.

A new law has just gone into op.
Grafton in Maine relating to corpo:
rations which, it is expected, will
result in q rush of new companies
and bring large revenue. The
measure provides that each corpo-
ration shall pay tax of SIS year
if the capital stock does not exceed
$50, 900. If the capital stock is
between $4,000 and 100000 the
tax is $40 q year 1t progresses at
like ratio up to $1,000, 900, for
which the tax is $50. For corpO
rations whose stock is over $1,000
600 an additional S25 is assessed
for every million or part thereof
The law provides that the tax
shall be a debt against the corpo-
ration, for which an action of debt
may be maintained against the
State
Under the old law the capital
capital stock was fixed not to ex-
ceed $40, 100000. Under the new
law the capital stock of corpora
tion can be fixed at any amount de.
sired, no matter how large. Corpo
rations will be allowed to do bust
ness outside the State, in any State
or Territory or possession of the
United States or any foreign coun-
try.

The Richmond Paragraph says: ::


Richmond is dead industrially
as it is morally. That said. much
is said: it is true nevertheless. No
observant person will deny these
assertions. 1t ought not to require
a lengthy discussion to prove the
former charge. and it is needless to
spend time and space endeavoring
to prove the latter. They are facts
plain to all beholders."
In commenting on the above
"B' ladams," " of the Winchester Sun,
says:
Comparing this with what was
said when they wanted the United
States Court to be held in that city
reminds one Of the old story about

If people only knew what we
know about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure,
it would be used in nearly every
household, as there are few people
who do not suffer from feeling of
fullness after eating, belching
fatulence, sour stomach or water
brash, caused by indigestion OF
dyspepsia. A preparation, such as
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, which. with
no aid from the stomach, will di.
gest your food, certainly can't helr
but do you good. f. C. Duerson
