Why Chickens Never Fall Off Their

Little children who have big beds
to roll around on, often fall out in

wake to find themselves on the
floor, usually more frightened than
hurt.
But chickens, whose beds are
rarely more commodious than a
slender rail, never, even in their
deepest slumbers, fall off their
perches. This is not due to SUI

but because a chickens leg is so

A case of much interest to stock
men has just been decided by the
United States Circuit Court of APP
peals at St. Louis. This is the
case of U. G.. Mason, of Marshal,
Mo. against r. NJ. Faddis, of this
county. In 1899, Mason bought a
herd of cattle from Faddis and
made an advance payment of two
thousand dollars. The cattle were
to be delivered in different deliver
les and about six hundred head
were delivered and fully paid for,
leaving the $4,000 still in the hands
of Mr.. Faddis. The contract did not
set a definate time for the delivery
of the balance, but Faddis claimed
that Mason fixed a time and that
he had the cattle ready for delivery
at the time and place fixed and that
Mason failed to call for them.
Later Mason made a demand for
the cattle, but Faddis said they
had shrunk in weight and he would
not deliver unless Mason would
accept them at the weights at the
time he said Mason had agreed to
accept them. Mason then brought
suit to recover the money advanced
and for damages. The case was
tried in the United States Circuit
Court at Omaha last spring. The
trial judge instructed the jury to re-
turn a verdictfor Mason. He held
that the money advanced was not
a forfeit and that Mason had tAc
right to demand the cattle and if
Faddis failed to deliver, Mason
could recover back the money and
damage. The case was taken to
the Circuit Court of Appeals which
has reversed the decision of the
Circuit Court and remanded the
case for a new trial. This is a
great victory for Mr.. Faddis and
for his attorney, A. NJ. Morrissey,
who tried the case. This suit has
muchattention from stock
men throughout the state because
of the wide acquaintance of the
parties and because the questions
involved are of importance t o every
who makes a contract for the
purchase or sale of live stock.

NeWlandS Scheme
" For County Taxes

Carson City, New, April 22.-Dur-
ing his stay in Nevada Senator.elect
Newlands not only did some strenuous
work in helping the passage Of the irri'
CATION law, but took pains to press on
the Legislature certain valuable re-
forms of the State and county revenue
system that In view OF prevailing con-
dltions seem to be badly needed. In
brief, Mr.. Newlands proposes that by
degrees the tax for the several coun.
ties shall be reduced to so cents and
thenceforth that limit shall not be ex.
ceeded. In promotion of this vital re-
reform Mr.. Newlands appeared before
a joint sessions Of the Ways and
Means Committee of the Senate and
Assembly. In his address before those
bodies he quoted with approval the
working of the dollar limit under the
San Francisco charter, and said:
A limit on the power Of taxation is
no new thing. Ever since the act for
the consolidation of the city and coun.
ty OF San Francisco was passed the
Limitation Of the city and county TAX
has been 81 on the 500, and the result
is that San Francisco Is the only large
city in the Union that Is out of debt. 1t
owes only $4,000. 1t is safe to say that
had 1t not been for this limitation, san
Francisco would have been looted over
and over again, and would have been
saddled with as oppressive debt as
New ork and Chicago now are"
Mr.. Newlands outlined his plan as
follows:
81 would therefore divide these coun,
ties into two classes: Those whose tax
rate last year was less than $3.50 and
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1903-05-15
KING STREET.

those whose tax rate was greater; and
| would provide that in The former the
tax rate for the year 1903 shall not ex-
coed that of 1902, and that thereafter
such tax rate shall be steadily dimin-
ished at the rate of cents on the
800 until 1t ultimately reaches so
cents on the 800; and that after this
limit is reached, 1t should be the per-
manent Limitation of taxation, beyond
which the commissioners cannot 60.
As to the counties whose tax rate last
year exceeded $3.50 on the 500, |
would provide that the tax rate for
1903 shall not exceed the tax rate for
1902, and that thereafter the tax rate
shall be steadily diminished at a rate
not less than 10 cents on the 800 per
annum until 1t reaches $3.50 on the
500; and thereafter 1t shall be reduc
ed at the rate OF cents on the 500
per annum until 1t reaches 80 cents on
the 800. In this way, Washoe county,
whose present tax rate Is 80 cents on
the 500, will not reach 50-cent limit
until the expiration of six years;
whilst Lincoln county, whose tax rate
last year was $1.95, would have a much
longer time" ....
The bill proposed by Mr.. Newlands
provides for the summary removal of
any officer who shall levy a tax In ex-
cess Of limits imposed,
