To Petition Of Southern
Gum Company Ready
TO Be FILED At ONCE
Will State That Sufficient
Grounds For Action Have
Not Been Set Forth--At-
torney General Acts.
CFrom a Stan Correspondent.)


Columbus, June 2.-Attorney General
Sheets, as the attorney for Secretary
of State l.. c. Laylin, will file an an
swer at once in the case brought by
the Southern Gum company, OF Canton,
and other Stark county corporations
to test the validity of the Willis law.
The answer will ask that the plaintiffs'
petition be dismissed on the ground
that it does not state facts sufficient
for cause of action.
The plaintiffs allege that the law is
unconstitutional in that it compels
corporations to pay double taxes.
They contend that as they have already
paid the regular assessments on their
property that it is unlawful to levy
further taxes upon them. AS has been
stated, the court allowed the tempo
rary restraining order preventing the
secretary of state from turning over to
treasurer of state the fees collected
from corporations paying the tax.
Whatever the decision of the lower
court may be, it is proposed to take
the case to the supreme court for final
adjudication as early as possible. Sec
retary of State Laylin has issued the
following statement:
The Southern Gum company and
other corporations of Canton have be-
gun an action in the common pleas
court of Franklin county to recover
the money paid the secretary of state
rs annual fees under the act of April
II, 1902. known as the Willis law, and
a temporary injunction has been is
sued, restraining the secretary from
paying the monies so collected into the
state treasury.
All annual fees paid by domestic
corporations for profit under the Willis
law will be retained by him until the
decision of this suit, so that in the
event of the invalidity of the Willis
law, the annual fees so paid by all cor
porations may be refunded"
The aggregate of the plaintiff COM
panies approaches $l1,000,oGG. The
list of the corporations bringing the
suit is as follows: The Southern Chic
Gum company the Canton Surgical
and Dental Chair company, the Canton
Supply company, the Stark Realty
company, Fife Brothers company, the
Ohio Mica company, the National
Wringer and Manufacturing company

With the passing Of the years the
reverence for the veteran soldiers who
participated in the rebellion grows
deeper, and in the light of history the
achievements of the great armies that
represented the government are better
realized than Immediately after the
close of the war. Now the results can
be seen, and with country grown
greater and more prosperous, with the
death of factional hatred, 1t is realized
that in spite of the cost in blood and
treasure, the United States government
and her people are the better for the
conflict
The passing of the veteran is made
apparent when it is realized that out
of the Canton posts in the last year
thirteen have lain down to their last
sleep at the sound of final taps. The
lights have gone out and they respond
no more to the call of the roll. Their
graves are added to the already large
number that arc to be strswn with
flowers each Decoration day as long as
memory shall last and valor is es-
termed.
The survivors are gray haired and
the traces of years are shown upon
their faces. Some are still vigorous
and active, but the great majority are
broken in health and lean heavily upon
their slaves. They gave their best
years TO the countrys service and came
homo penniless to find nearly all the
avenues of trade and the more lucra-
tive positions taken up by those who
remained at home. This is sacrifice
md hardship which is not sufficiently
considered when estimating what is
due the soldier.
The veteran could but feel glow of
pleasureable gratitude in the honor be-
slowed upon him and his dead COM
radcs Friday by the people of Canton.
The whole city lay aside business for
the nonce and gave the day over TO the
soldier AS the thinned ranks appear
ed upon the streets the youth of the
city felt a glow of pride that they were
the sons and grandsons OF men who
had been a part Of the most valorous
army the world had ever seen.
The honor bestowed was given
worthily. The day was theirs. May
the grim scepter deal mercifully with
ther during the passing years.

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1902-06-03

For two years and eight months the
flower of the English nation has been
blighted in the exterminating fight
waged against the two Boer republics.
Whatever the causes for the war may
have been, the result will be a ben
eft to the civilized nation. England's
sway has not been an oppressive one
during the last century and the terms
accorded to the Beers will permit all
the citizens a hand in the govern
ment.
Dom Paul Kruger's government be-
fore the South African hostilities COM
menced was a government of exclusion
and the name Republic" was mis-
placed for an autocracy. A policy such
as would never have been tolerated in
this country and which, in fact. is
forbidden under our constitution, was
adopted to all who entered the coun-
try. No one but the Beers themselves
were allowed any voice in the country
and no "Uitlander' was ever permitted
to become citizen and to cast vote.
Naturally one thinks that England
would never have reached out her
hand to enlighten the Beers, nor
would have interfered for the benefit
of the foreigners in the country had
not the inducement been the great dia-
mond and mineral resources of the un-
progressive Dutch settlers.
A republic only in name has suffer-
ed-civiliza6on has entered and the
Beers have lost their supremacy and
another country will acknowledge the
British flag. England is happy that
the peace has been declared and the
world reS'ices that the strife is ended.

FUEL ADVERSE FEATURE

Freely offered, bu. Accepted only
on Condition tina. Exse. Date of

New York, Dec. 2o.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade, issued
today, says In part:
Holiday trade has exceeded even
the most sanguine expectations and
retail dealings In all staple lines of
merchandise are well maintained,
with the better grades of gocis in
brisk demand. Wholesome conGi-
tons prevail In most sections OF the
country, although in parts of the
southwest the season has fallen be.
hind the average. Even in these cases
reports are encouraging for the fu-
tnre. Industrial plants are well EN-
ployed. orders running far into the
future, and labor controversies are
rare. The only adverse feature Of
the season is the fact that supplies of
fuel are utterly inadequate, both for
household and manufacturing use, and
show increasing delay OF deliveries.
Railway earnings thus far reported
for December exceed last years by.
AZ per cent and those of 1900 by 1914
per cent.
Fuel Shortage Causes ldleness.
Two events of Importance have oc-
CURED in relation to the leading man
ufacturing industry. The United
States Steel corporation has greatly
extended its scope by absorbing many
outside plants and certain desirable
railway connections. The other was
the announcement OF advanced freight
rates to take effect Jan. /, showing an
average increase of about 10 per cent
on products OF iron and steel. Other
wise the situation is practically I'M
changed, the largest producer having
over 5.2s0.00o tons OF untitled orders
on its books, and work Is being
pushed as rapidly as supplies of fuel
and material will permit. Supplies
OF coke do not increase, and many
furnaces are idle. Contracts for
bridge work and track elevation are
freely offered by the railways, and
accepted only on condition that the
exact date OF delivery shall not be
specified. Despite the fact that rail
mills are sold close UP to the end II
next year new business Is offered and
urgent buyers are compelled to go
abroad.
In the wooden goods market there
is a fair volume of orders In many
cases exceeding available offerings
Worsteds and yarns are also firm,
while, few grades Of raw wool So
cured another advance, Heavy ar.
rivals Of silk have not weakened the
tone.
