ARE YOUR TAXES HIGHER.

The people of Kootsnai county are
receiving notices a from the tax
collector giving the amount of taxes
due to the county for the present
year. A short time ago the Pres said
that the pace set by the board of
county commissioners in spending
money would necessitate additional
taxation. The republican newspapers
made light Of our assertions and now
that you are receiving postal card
notices of the amount Of your taxes.
all we ask is a comparison of the
same with your taxes Of last year
and the year before. You are paying
at least 70 per cent more this year
and there is but one way to account
for 1.-THE present county government
Is expensive aud reckless with the
peoples money and to meet these
conditions you are called upon to pay
more taxes. Excuses will be offered
and attempts made to shift the
responsibility, but if you have kept
track of the commissioners proceed
ings and made note of the reckless
manner in which bills ara allowed,
the cause will be plain. 1t is not
necessary for US to tell you how the
evil may be remedied; you have the
ballot and your taxes will depend on
how you use it.

The states pure food commissioner
offers some very lame excuses for not
giving the public the names of
adulterated and poisonous articles of
food which are sold in open market.
His excuses are not valid He claims
TO have no funds to pay for issuing
bulletins. The newspapers of the
state will undoubtedly publish any
information he gives out free of charge
as matter of news and for the benefit
Of the public. Again he says that
the information must be contained
in sworn report. What is to pre-
vent him making the sworn statement?
He fails to tell US; but says that the
people are using foods doctored up
with poisons. There is not much
consolation in this for the public and
if the commissioner does not wish to
give out the information he should
tender his resignation. He says
My books are always open to the
public and whenever anyone wishes
20 consult them he can find for him
self all information that possess in
regard to these goods. " The state
ment is nothing short of impudence.
The commissioner knows that the
people Of the state cannot visit his
office, and they must continue to eat
poison. Will Governor Morrison
permit such things to continue with
out an effort to compell the com
missioner to do his duty? The people
are becoming very tired of being told
that they are eating poisoned foods
without having those foods pointed
out to them. The action Of the com
missioner is casting suspicion on all
prepared foods, aud he is doing an
injustice to the merchant and manu-
facturer by his refusal to designate
the pure and the impure articles.

Meet Requirements.
Let us get authority from the legisla-
ture, as has been suggested, for them to
build or acquire by purchase such a syS-
tenn or systems will meet the require
ments. The city of Birmingham and some
of the suburbs are under contract with
the present company for a term which
has still eighteen years to run, but not SO
with the county. Therefore, it occurs to
me that, while the city may be stopped
from condemnation proceedings by reason
of such contract, the county would not be
under any such embarrassment, and
might, in a case of failure to reach an
amicable agreement with the company.
acquire the property by condemnation
proceedings. The company already has a
system of mains reaching into WOOD
lawn Avondale, East Birmingham, North
Birmingham, Elyton. West End ana
Ensley. Its service reservoir is at suf-
fcent elevation to supply the people OF
this valley from East Lake to Bessemer.
and from the top of Shades mountain TO
Pratt City, with the exception of few
elevated points on the Highlands, which
can easily be reached by high service
systems. 1t is easy. enough to duplicate
and triplicate the supply mains. The
tunnels and rock cuts for the pipe line
have already been excavated with this
In view. This reservoir can be enlarged by
thirty or forty million gallons at very
small cost If desired In other words the
nlant can be expanded indefinitely to
meet requirements. When we shall have
exhausted the capacity of our present
SIMPLY we will be in better condition to
develop other sources. If that time shall
come sooner than now seems probable, it
will be due to unexpected prosperity for
which we will have cause to be thankful

COMMITTEE HAS
A LONG MEETING
Continued from Fifth Pase)

ferson county sanitary commission, and
with Birmingham in securing proper ben
efits for each and ALL Pratt City, Ensley,
Wylam, Brighton, Bessemer, ETC., should
earnestly consider some fair and equal
basis of expansion or consolidation. Great
err Birmingham should do the same. A
great work is being projected. No section
or community should neglect itself. or
suffer any accidental neglect in others.
Nothing would so weld together in per-
manent ties of mutual interest and good
will all sections of our county as this
great water system, helping all, injuring
none. AS to which of these four agencies
or possibilities prove best, time and
thought would develop. My own judg-
ment at present inclines to combination
of all as outlined in Id
8. Financial. This has already been SO
necessarily touched upon in the presen-
tation of 1 and 2 that it only seems
necessary to say that the money should
all be carefully arranged for in advance
in all of its bearings before any consider
able work be done.
4. Physical. AS to the best sources Of
supply, amount needed ana available,
route. form of delivery etc. all of these
questions require time and exhaustive in
vestigation. No. is the main one now
Get the legislative authority to do 1t in
a number of ways, and then carefully Sc
lect the best, or best combination. If
these rough outlines should receive your
approval so far as to consider them, you
can greatly improve upon them.
In conclusion | further suggest that we
advise mass meetings in every town and
section to both consider our suggestions
and stimulate others to thought and ac-

RUSSIAN SUGAR
CASE IS DECIDED
Supreme Court Says Collector
Did Right in Levying Tax
is QUESTION OF BOUNTY
Justice Brown, In Rendering Decision,
Says Where Bounty Is Placed on
Export a Countervailing
Duty Can Be Levied.
is QUESTION Of BOUNTY

Washington, January 5.-The United
States Supreme court in an opinion hand
ed down today by Justice Brown, decides
that In the Downs case, the money paid
by Russia on sugar exported is bounty,
and that the collector of customs at New
York was justified in levying a counter
vailing duty on Russian sugar under
the terms of the Dingley law.
The Downs case came to the Supreme
court on writ of certiorari and brought
to test rulings of the lower court and
of the board of general appraisers hold
ing a cargo imported into Baltimore from
Russia, to be subject to a countervailing
duty, leviable upon merchandise upon
which bounty is paid upon expectation.
The opinion today affirmed these rulings.
Only One Question Involved.
Justice Brown said the case involved
only the one question as to whether,
under the laws of regulations of Russia,
bounty Is allowed upon the export OF
sugar, which subjects such sugar upon
its importation into the United States to
an additional duty equal to the entire
amount ol sucH DOuh'S 0HNSA sA.S -. -
July "a, 1S47."
He said that under Russia's method
of protecting and fostering her sugar
industry, free sugar which may be sold
in Russia at the normal excise of 75-1OO
roubles per pounds may be exported UNI
der a permit from the excise office upon
the return of free sugar certihcate with
the custom house export mark, the excise
then crediting the exported quantity OF
sugar to the free surplus of the mill
which is subject to the double tax of LIS
roubles. Discussing the effect of this
certificate Justice Brown said:
I'm practice the market value OF these
certificates must vary according to the
demand and supply but the theory UNI
DERIVING the transactions is always this,
that the exporter shall suffer no loss be-
cause he has exported his free sugar in
stead of selling 1t in the home market.
Paid Upon Production.
at Is practically admitted in this case
that bounty equal to the value OF these
certificates Is paid by the Russian gov
eminent and the main argument of the
petitioner is addressed to the proposition
that this bounty is paid not upon expor-
tation, but upon production. The an
swer to this is that every bounty upon
expectation must, to a certain extent,
operate as a bounty upon production
since nothing can be exported which is
not produced and since a bounty upon
| expectation by creating a foreign demand
! stimulates an increased production to the
extent of such demand. Consequently
a bounty upon production operates, to a
certain extent, as bounty upon exporta-
| ton, since 1t opens to the manufacture
foreign market for his merchandise pro-
! duced in excess of the demand at home
Where regulations exempt sugar export
! ed from excise taxation altogether, we
think they clearly fall within the defini-
ton of an indirect bounty upon exporta.

A NEW oNE-cENT PAPER
New York Mail and Express Makes
Change in Price.

New York, January 5.-The Mail snd
Express, which has heretofore sold
for 2 cents, today appeared as a l.
cent paper. Commenting on the
change, the paper says editorially:
I'VE believe that a paper can be
clean in its news and yet popular;
that it can be rational and unpreju-
diced in its views and yet aggressive,
honest, Independent and acceptable to
the great majority of the people. 1t
has been proved in the past few years
that there is no longer truth (if there
ever was) in the old newspaper the
DRY that the lower the tone the larger
the circulation. The Mail and Elk
press proposes now to make another
demonstration of the falsity of that
libel upon the decency of American
communities for being equal in price
to the cheapest afternoon papers and
even in quality to the best"
