War Tax i'm Court.

The Supreme Court of Georgia
recently handed down q decision
respecting the war stamp tax which
touches states rights. The ques-
ton before the Court was whether
or not q lease contract which did
not bear the special stamp required
By act of Congress is admissible IN
evidence. The court held on this
point that to deny that a document
was admissible as evidence simply
because it did not bear a federal
stamp would be an infringement
upon states rights. for the reason
that while Congress has right to
levy taxes through the stamp act,
such as are involved in this case,
it has not the right to prescribe
rules of evidence for State courts.
THIS is a question that has arisen
in the courts Of our own State.

Assessments on cypress
Trees.

Houma, La, Jan. 1o-A suit
brought. by q lumber company
against the assessor of Terrebonne
Parish was recently decided by
Judge Caillouet IN favor Of the as
essor and sustaining assessments on
cypress trees, According 10 the
decision, the purchaser Of cypress
trees will have to pay taxes on the
purchased property, even when the
land on which the trees are belongs
to another party. As the land it.
self, when the cypress trees there
on are sold, has little or no value,
the decision is considered Just. In
many of the transfers of cypress
timber that have taken place in
this and adjoining parishes of late
the person who sells retains the
swamp land, and the decision Of
Judge Caillout, therefore, has
more than local significance.

For Experience.

An interesting and novel story is1
told in the Daily Picayune Of
Robert Lord Coleman, son Of the
retired millionaire lawyer, Walter
H. Coleman, of New York.
Upon young Coleman graduating
at Cornell University, his father
advised him to 60 out and ''buck
the world''-shift for himself-for
three years in order that be nigh.
gain the practical experience and
learn the valuable lessons of such
life, and that he might prove
"what sort of stuff he was made
Of" and 10 learn the value of money
and how it was made. Since that
time young Coleman has worked
in the treasurer's Office of the South
Carolina & Georgia railroad, in a
brokers' Office in Wall street, which
firm failed in the business panic OF
last spring. This firm having
failed, young Coleman was lett
without a job. His next employ
ment was that of night conductor
on an underground electric street
car line, which kept him working
for fifteen hours in q stretch, eat
ing irregularly and sometimes not
at all during that run. During
that employment he had number
of ..hold ups" and s'knock downs. :
After four months as street car
conductor young Coleman worked
in the Brooklyn iron foundry for
over a month, during which he
lost Is pounds. Then after loahng
for a while looking for snap, and,
like most strap hunters. finding that
they were s.just out' wherever he
went or the other fellow had them,
he went to New Orleans and struck
a Job as bell boy in the st. Charles
Hotel where he is now answering
calls Of the guests. 1t takes . lo'
of grit to tackle such an under
taking when necessity forces il
upon us, but it requires more in q
college graduate and the son Of 2
millionaire. Up to this time,
young Coleman states that he has
never drawn on his father, though
he has been in some close places
financially As we'll as otherwise.

The New Congressional
AppOrtiOnment.

The apportionment Ct repre-
sentation in Congress under the
new census Of population has been
settled by the House, which really
has the right to dictate IN matters
which concern Its membership, and
there is no reason to doubt that the
Senate will give its Endorsement.
The plan adopted was that pro-
posed by Congressman Burleigh,
of Maine. This increases the
membership of the House from 357,
its present numbers to 3S6. The
bill was passed by vote Of l65 to
l02, and under lis provisions no
State loses a member, as would
have been the case under the Hop
kins bill, which proposed to keep
the total membership at it's present
numbers of 35I.
Under the plan as adopted 20
members are added to the House,
and while no State loses member
twenty OF the States make gains in
the following order: ILLINOIS, New
York and Texas, three each; MIN
nesota, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vanla, Two each, aud Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Florida, louisiana, Massachusetts,
Mississippi, Missouri, North Caro-
lima. North Dakota Washington,
West Virginia, aud Wisconsin, one
each.
The bill provides that whenever
new State il admitted the repre-
sentative assigned to it shall be in
addition TO the total provided IN
the bill. 1t also adds a provision
to the effect that congressional dis
lrlcts, in addition 70 being contlg-
uour, shall also he compact.
States which are allowed sddl-
tional representatives by the bill
shall, by its terms, elect them Al
large until the Legislature shall
redlslric, such Staues. The new
bill will not take effect until 1908,
after the terms of the member
elected to the Fif,y-seven,h Con-
gress shall have expired.
No steps were taken toward cut
ting down the membership of the
Southern States, and the efforts Of
MIR. Crumpackcr, Of Indiana, e
have the bill tracked by being
sent back to the Census Commit
tee, with instructions to cut dowr
