Mortgage Tax Law.

Senator Goodell's mortgage tax
bill, which is the original Ward
Lowry bill, amended aud modified.
will not be up for discussion for
some time tn come. but il is never
theless freely criticised or approved
by diverse interests The clause Of
1t which provides Tor the assessing
Of the mortgage, where the incum-
bered land is situated, seems to be
most generally criticised The criti-
cism is that If the mortgage is taxed
where the land is. situated. that
not only makes possible double taxa
tion, but viii also discourage foreign
loaning companies from lending
money in this state. If u foreign
mortgage live in q state where
mortgages are taxed either as real
or personal property, it follows that
taxation OF his mortgage in this
state compels . second payment,
which is double taxation. But that,
say the proponents of the bill, is
something that concerns the foreign
err alone. The principal loaning
agencies of the country are the
great life insurance and trust COM
panies. They have representatives
in nearly every county OF the state
and the farmer or manufacturer who
wishes to secure loan, almost with
out exception, apply to them for
relief. Now, if the companies be
compelled to pay their taxes where
they are established and also on
such mortgages as they carry in
Michigan, will they continue to do
business here2 If they will continue
to do business here will they not
impose conditions by way of bonus
or otherwise, which will make the
condition OF the mortgagor more
comfortable than it is under the pre-.
sent system? 1t is not difficult, say
the critics of the bill, to legislate to
tax money or anything else, but
there are times when it is the part
Of wisde:H 10 inquire Into prob...yic
or possible after effects, else our last
estate may turn out to be worse
than our first.

IS IT cURABLE?
A Question Often Asked by Those Ar
 flcted With Piles.

Is a strained joint curable? Is local in- flammation curable? Of course. if prop erly treated So is piles.
 People often become afflicted with piles and ask some old chronic" who has al- ways persisted in the wrong treatment. and naturally he discourages them by telling them that their case is hopeless.
 They in turn discourage others, and thus disease that can in every case be cured by careful and skillful handling is allowed to sap the energy of thousands who might free themselves of the trouble in few days.
 Pyramid Pile Cure will cure the most aggravated case of hemorrhoids in an astonishingly short time. It relieves the congested parts, reduces the tumors in- stantly no matter how large. allays the inflammation and stops the aching or itching at once.
 Thousands who had resorted to expen- sive surgical treatment have been cured by the Pyramid Pile Cure-in a number of instances persons who had spent months in a hospital under a pile spe- cialist.
 It is a remedy that none need fear to apply even to the most aggravated swol- len and infamed hemorrhoidal tumors
 If you are afflicted with this stubborn disease you can master it and master it quickly.
 This remedy is no longer an. exneri- ment but a medical certainty, and is sold by druggists everywhere for fifty cents a package. .

UNION FINED BY
 CHICAGO JUDGE Press Feeders, as COrpOTatiOnJ Charged With Conspiracy HOLDOM MAKES CRITICISMS  Says Actions of Union Are Contrary to Law and order-His Deci-
 sion Establishes a
 Precedent.
HOLDOM MAKES CRITICISMS

Chicago, December 12.-One thousand dollar fine for illegal acts as a corporate body was imposed upon Frank1yn Union No. 1. pressfeeders, by Judge Jesse Holdom today. The court found the union as a corporation guilty of con- tempt of court for violating an injunction restraining it from interfering with the employees of ten printing firms.
 Judge Holdoms action creates a pre- cedent, it being the first time in the his- tory of trades unionism in this country that court has fined a union as cor poration. An immediate appeal was taken. In giving his decision Judge Hodom said: 'There is no reported case that I have been able to find of fine having been imposed upon a labor union. Probably this is the reason that few of them are incorporated"
 Continuing, Judge Holdom said:
 There is no discrimination between the sexes. Women have been assaulted and terrorized and followed to their homes and their families intimidated. Murder has even resulted from the unlawful acts of the union and it's strong members. From affidavits in evidence in this case, It appears that more than hfty people have been, since the inception of the diffi- culties set forth in the bill, assaulted in- timidated, called opprobrious epithets and threatened with harm, simply because they worked in place voluntarily va cated by members of Franklin Union No. 4, all the alleged aggressors, with the ex- ception of John Mucher, being members of the union. John Muncher. condemned twice for assault and unlawful picketing in company with members of the union, in violation of the injunction bill, has been defended by the president of the union."
 Further along, the court says: Tt would seem from the evdenual facts that the action of the union in establishing strike headquarters, the payment of strike bene- fits at the strike headquarters by the union treasurer with the union money, and the fact that no discrimination was made against the members of the union known to be guilty of acts in them selves criminal, establish the union as eo-conspirator with its offending mem- bers."

DIXIE FLYERS
 WINS THE PRIZE WdthOur and LeandGr Win the Great Six Day Race CROWD GOES WILD AT FINISH Band Plays "Dixie" and People Cheer as Southern Champion Kisses His
 Wife After Nerve-Wracking
 Race Is Ended.
CROWD GOES WILD AT FINISH

New York, December 12.-(SpecIal J. The Dixie Flyer" team gets the money. The largest crowd that ever visited Mad ison Square garden saw the closing of the six day bicycle race tonight At 6 o'clock 10000 people were present, and at 10 o'clock 10000 were on hand to cheer the final sprint. Not even standing room could be obtained at the finish.
 Benny Munroe, the Memphis boy has been plugging away the past three days. trusting he could keep his team with the leaders and his partner could repeat his famous final sprint when he won in 1901. For the past twenty-four hours Munroe has been acting strangely. He insisted on yelling at the spectators near the side of the track and footing an automobile horn incesanty as he circled the cup shaped oval. Twice he has been carried from the track in a dead faint, and Walthour, his partner, was compelled to rush from his bed to regain the lost distance.
 Walthour DeIrious.
 Early today, Samson, of the Belgian team fell from his wheel into Wailhour's cot which his trainers had pitched be- side the track. Walthour was up in an instant and started on wild run around the track. He was caught by his train CTS while still delirious.
 Mrs. Walthour has been at her hus- bands bedside constantly, and has pre- pared his food for him. Walthour said after the race that he would rest a couple of days and go in vaudeville. He will sail March 10 for France, where he has signed to ride six races
 From o'clock until 10 little of impor- tance happened, the crowd amusing them- selves whistling "Bedelia' and watching an occasional fight Frank Kramer, the champion sprinter, tied his quarter mile record, making 1t in 24-4-5. Jimmy MicheaI, the Welsh rabbit, reeled off an exhibition two miles in 9:24, while Miss Margaret Cast, the champion woman cyclist, turn. ed mile, paced by motor, in 56 the galleries yelling Come on Mag"
 Seven Teams Tied.
 Ten o'clock saw seven teams tied for first place. the only foreign team to stick being Content and Breton. The two ne- groes, Dove and Hedspeth, quit at 2 a. m. today after being twenty miles behind the leaders. Wathour jumped in front on the final two mile sprint, only to be passed by Krebs at the ends of two laps. Leander lead and Walthour was fourth at the end of the mile. Walthour then took the lead and won by a sixteenth of a mile.
 An unfortunate spill occurred at the beginning of the last mile and all but three leaders went down. This, however, had no bearing on the result.
 At the finish the band played "Dixie," Walthour kissed his wife. and the crowd went wild.

 Attorney Glover has h>d the fee in his possession, and those~knterested were not able to come to a satisfactory agreement about its partition, and a friendly suit was brought so that the court could set tie the question.
 Lee Marx sometime ago disposed of his interest in the fee to Carl Steiner and the style of the suit was Carl Steiner vs J. T. Glover According to the de- cision of Judge Ferguson MT. Steiner is to receive s15O5 50 which is one third of the entire fee with the accrued interest.
