Our Own Products.

Consular reports say that Cali
fornia prunes have been sent to
France, repacked there and brought
back over the Atlantic as the gen.
uine Gallo product, That is not in
the least surprising. A great deal
of Yankee peanut oil land perhaps
some other kinds of OILY is shipped
abroad and later is returned TO the
United States as olive oil of choice
quality. And Maine sardines 90 to
the old world and are then imported
as delicious French fish, with all
sorts Of foreign stamps upon the
boxes. Moreover, California wines
are exported in large quantities and
returned as the products of Euro
pean vineyards. And yet the merits
OF our own prunes and oils and sar-
dimes and wines are sufficient to
commend them to consumers with
out the glamour of exotic labels

The Diamonds Of ST. Petersburg.

- FS.c=s5grg society is brilliant
not only by reason of the diamonds
and beauty of its women, but also
owing to the splendid uniforms and
blazing decorations of its men. The
ladies wear such diamonds as are
only seen at exhibitions or in the
windows of fashionable jcweler.
The diamonds of St. Petersburg are
famous, for not only do they fre-
quently measure half an inch across,
but their diameter is as frequently
the same, Your representative was
dazzled by succession of solid
precious stones whose weight could
only be reckoned in avoIrdupois.
The jewels one sees at Covent
Garden are slim and puny baubles
by comparison. st. Petersburg
seems to buy its diamonds by the
pound, and the wealth "of Ormuz
and of Ind" seintillates in the ears
and around the slender throats of
its fair women.-London Mail.

One Of Quay's Stories.

The late Matthew Stanley Quay

illustrated the optimistic nature
with which his mother was blessed.
1t seems that a neighbor of the
Quays was cashier in bank. One

amount of gossip. An examination
Of the banks books proved the alb

Mrs. Quay could not believe this, as
she knew him well. The following
conversation ensued between Mr..
Quay and his mother:

willingness to supply the financial de-

serves only to increase the complica-

TAXING CORPORATE FRAN
4 cHlSBS.

California has found new source Of
liberal revenue through a recent deci-
sion of its Supreme Court that permits
sbn of the state for any corporation
to conduct business Is taxable. fran
chise. In these days when the people
from one end of the country to the
other are scheming ways and means
to secure proper revenues from cor
: CITATIONS, this decision is an interesting
addition to the record of the struggle.
Under the laws of California the
stock of corporations cannot be taxed
and as consequence much taxable
property has escaped. II was finally
determined by Assessor Dodge to levy
upon the franchises of corporations
granted under the state laws.
The value of the corporate franchise
for taxation purposes was determined
by deducting the value of the tangible
property owned by the corporation
| from the market value of the stock in
each company. The Supreme Court
held that the corporate franchise is
liable for taxation and indicates its
approval of the method by which the
valuation was reached.
The decision of the Court Is the re-
suit of test case Of the Bank of Cali
fornia against the city and county OF
San Francisco and effects every cor
poration organized within the State.
Assessor Dodge valued the tangible
property of the banking corporation at
! s5.l56. 903.0S. The market value of the
shares of stock at the time Of the as
sessment was 100000. The differ
ence between these two was held to be
| the value of the franchise. In contest
| ing the case the attorneys for the bank
held that the privilege Of doing bust
ness as a corporation Is not franchise.
The court held that the benefits de-
rived from incorporation are in the
nature of special privilege and
should be taxed in consequence. The
decision says: THE corporate fran
chise, viz: the franchise to be and exist
as a corporation for the purposes spec
flied in the articles of incorporation
appertains to every corporation, fol
whatever purpose 1t may be formed
ana there is no distinction In this re.
gard between the banking or grocery
corporation and the railroad, water oil
gas corporation. The right to engage
in every such business is open to all
citizens independently of any gram
from the sovereign. but 1t is available
to no one to conduct any such business
through the agency of a corporation
without such grant"
The Bank of California, which In this
instance practically represents the cor
porations of the State, is likely to ap
peal the case to the Supreme Court o.
/, the United States on the basis that thu
law as interpreted by the Court con
lets with the Fourteenth Amendment
to the Constitution. Naturally the Law
will be fought by all corporations, bu
the principle laid down in the decision
is certainly sound. There is every rea'
son why corporations of every State
and Territory should pay for the priv
ileges granted by the State.
