PLUM'PUDD|NC
INDUSTRY
England Supplies Her Native Sons
All Over the WOrldWith
the Home Product

LONDON, Dec. with the ap-
proach of Christmas, the plum pudding
industry of England-which so far has
not been called upon to repeal any
American invasion other than that
made up of consumers-is in it's glory.
From London tons of festive pudding
find their way all over the world.
One firm in oxford street, among the
best known makers of plum pudding,
sells each Christmas about $50 tons of
the product, which, roughly estimated,
amounts to nearly 100000 buildings.
These are sent not only to all part of
England, but also to English people
resident in Hong Kong Rhodesia, Aus
tralia, Canada and other quarters of
the globe. Formerly the duty of near
ly so per cent kept the United States
from importing very many of the
buildings, but since this has been abol-
ished the sales in that country are
largely increased and this Christmas
will see several thousands shipped
across the Atlantic, many of them des-
tined for points as far distant as San
Francisco.

IMPORTANT
DECISION
County Assessors Are Not Re-
CURED to Collect City Taxes
for Special Improvements

In an opinion handed down yester-
day, says the Evening Capital News
Judge Stewart held that county asses
sors need not collect special assess
ments for local improvements. The
question was brought before the court
some time ago in a mandamus suit
brought by the city of Weiser to com
pei Robert LansdOn, county assessor
and tax collector of Washington
county. to collect special assessments
for sidewalks, sewers, pavements, etc.
Judge Stewart went into the subject
fully. The law seems to be in conflict
on the question. Section of the acts
of 1891, procides that the county as
SCISSOR shall assess all property and
collect all taxes for towns and villages
except the special taxes i'm cities"
There is another law, however. which
provides that all such special taxes and
assessments shall be placed on the tax
roll for collection the same as other
taxes. The statute of 1899 also pro-
vides that all taxes including the spe-
cial assessments, shall be annually
certified to by the city to the county
tax collector.
1t was this conflict in the law that
the mandamus proceedings were
brought to secure legal Interpretation
and to have determined the duties of
the tax collector in the matter.
In reviewing the case referring to
the various laws on the subject the
court concludes:
"In view of these various provisions,
am of the opinion that the different
sections of the statute may be har-
monized, and that ii was the intention
of the legislature under the provisions
of section 6 of the laws of 1901, cited
above, that ii is the duty of the county
tax collector to collect all taxes for
cities and villages. levied for general
purposes. and such special taxes as are
levied at the same time on the city
as a whole, for the purpose of paying
the outstanding warrants, funding and
refunding indebtedness, etc. This gen.
eral tax, and these special taxes, are
all provided by law to be certified 10
the county tax collector They are all
levied at the same time, while taxes
for local improvements of the charac-
ter involved in this case. are made AZ
different times,a nd may be made n:
any time by passing the necessary ordt-
nance, and there is no provision of law
such assessments may ne Ger
titled to the county tax collector.
II therefore conclude 1t was the in
tention of the legislature. in passing
section 6 of the act of 1901 to except
the special taxes of the character in
volved in this section.
For these reasons the application
for a writ of mandate will be denied"

ALPHoNSE AND CASTOR
De Almonds Little Joke Which Brought
Down the House

De Almond, congressman from Mis-
souri, created some fun in the house
this week by a neat turn on timely
topic.
He amused the house for ten minutes
by likening the present procedure of
congress to the Alphonse and CASTOR
and Leon scheme of politeness.
ION the question of adjournment of
the extra session, the Alphonse of the
senate is saying to the CASTOR of the
house, After you, my dear Gaston,'
and the CASTOR of the house is saying
to the Alphonse of the senate, After
you. my dear Alphonse,' and Leon,
standing off distance, is saying, How
magnificent, how magnanimous, how
strenuous Democratic laughter.)
But aside he is giving the expression. I
wish l had four years of my own in
that dear White house at Washington
d. c. This spectacle has to be gone
through because no more important
matters are to be disposed Of"

Climate and Character.

Climate has an undoubted influence
on the character. Persons take from
atmos pheric conditions and surround
ings many Of their mental attributes;
they seem TO absorb into their being
something akin to the climate and en-
vironment. Those born and reared
in rugged nlld and bleak country
are generally rugged, hardy and stern
themselves, while those brought up IN
a ricA, warm aud genial climate aud
surroundings are themselves usually
of a generous, easy.going nature. The
London Evening Standard OF recent
date discusses the subject and says:
I'm lands of the sun, where the earth
offers the necessities and luxuries OF
life. almost without labor, man Is
sapped of energy, and leads lotos
existence. No effort is demanded of
him, and the capacity to do dwindles
within him. He lolls sensuously IN
the lap Of nature, materlaIlst and
without ambition. "
A temperate, bracing climate Is the
most healthy both Tor body and mind.
The strong air imparts force OF char
scter AS well as power Of limb. No
one j. superior to atmospheric condi-
tions; it affects all, though sometimes
unconsciously. Investigations IN
schools show that pupils are able to
do their best work when the weather
is cold, calm and clear. In large fac
tories it is stated that an unpleasant
day will reduce the output by ten per
cent. Again, continued hot weather
invariably brings forth crop OF crimes
of passion, while the summer IL also
the season most prolific of suicide.
Rain seems to exert deterrent effect
on crime, and fewer deeds OF violence
are committed on cloudy days than
on bright ones.
Whatever there may be said to the
contrary, the fact is undeniable that
climate influences to a remarkable de-
gree character and conduct.
