Should the decision Of the major
ity of the court be sustained by
the court of appeals the city OF
New York will lose $Io,ooo,ooo
revenue. Comptroller Grant de-
clares that if the court of appeals
does not reverse the decision OF
the appellate division, New York
city will demand from the legis-
lature the right TO assess fran
chises locally for the years 1900
and 1901.
One of the Judges who agreed
with Judge Parker declared Ill his
opinion that the local assessors
could follow a chain OF franchises
with assessment. That is, the
franchise holders must pay Tor
lust what they owned in every
town. The subject is certainly
very interesting one and the de-
cision of the highest court VIII
be awaited BY citizens in all parts
of the country with deep interest.

HIGH PRICES AND PROSPERITY.

HIGH PRICES AND PROSPERITY.
Editor Providence News:
am an admirer of your editorials and
II may be presumptuous on my part. 10
attempt a criticism. but from single
tax standpoint you have expressed but
very popular 'error in your editorial on
Anti trust Legislation" when you infer
that high prices, as a matter OF course,
go hand in hand with prosperity. that
high prices are natural and legitimate
result OF good times BY prosperity Is
meant the prosperity OF the masses, not
the privileged few. Prosperity means In
creased employment, or increased wages.
or both. This. OF course. means an IN
creased purchasing power OF the people.
and cs matter of course, an increase In
prices of the products OF labor. So the
popular delusion runs.
But does II?
Price depends entirely on the relation
between supply and demand. Is that re-
bation between the two changed, by an
increase OF work, so that supply de-
creases. or rather tails TO equal the In
crease I'm demand? / think the argument
is the other way.
An increase OF laborers means an In
creased production certainly, but out or
the increase of production, must come the
increased power OF the laborers 10 M
crease the demand, the Increased ueHidiu
can never equal the increased supply. Tor
a part can never equal the whole. II you
mean simply 10 state fact that high
prices always do reign during period
Of prosperity. You are correct. but IL Is
not necessary sequence, but necessary
sequence 10 the fact. that natural oppor-
tunities are owned by private indlvid-
uals.
As an example let US take the all alb

Liquozone does that. Oxygen is
Natures greatest tonic-the very source
of vitality. Its effects are exhilarating-
purifying, vitalizing. Nothing else in the
world is so good for you. But germs are
vegetables; and this excess Of Oxygen
the very life of an animals deadly to
vegetable matter.
We spend ID days in making each
bottle of Liquozone; but the result is
liquid oxygen-a product which will cure
diseases which no medical skill can cure
without it. It is now employed in every
great hospital, and Endorsed by every
medical authority, the world over.

Kills Inside Germs.

Liquozone alone kills germs in the body
without killing the tissues, too. 1t is SO
certain that we publish on every bottle
an offer of 81 900 for disease germ that it
cannot kill. Liquozone destroys at once
and forever the cause of any germ disease.
And there is no other way to do it.
Any drug that kills germs is poison to
you, and it cannot be taken internally.
Liquozone alone can attack trouble
that is caused by inside germs; and it
cures diseases which medicine never
cured.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1903-11-26

This company, after testing Liquozone
for two years in the most difficult germ
diseases, paid $1oo,oo for the United
States rights. That is by far the highest
price ever paid for similar rights on any
scientific discovery.
We publish this fact to show you the
value of Liquozone. The most worthless
product may have great claims made
about it; but men don't pay price like
that save for discovery Of remarkable
worth ia humanity

Germ Diseases.

These are the known germ diseases.
All that medicine can do for these troubles
is to help Nature overcome the germs,
and such results are indirect and un-
certain. Liquozone kills the germs,
wherever they are, and the results are in
evitable. By destroying the cause of the
trouble, it invariably ends the disease,
and forever.
