An Important Decision.

j. NJ. Bemis & Son VS.. II. A. Shipe, Col
lector of Taxes of jerks Twp. Bill in
Equity.
The plaintiffs in this case reside outside
of the county of Forest. but are engaged
in manufacturing timber into lumber in
jerks township, Forest county, and own
a large tract of timber, the same having
been purchased from the Penn Tanning
Co., and have erected a large stationary
saw mill, with a capacity of forty thous-
sand feet per day, said mill being erected
on a warrant adjoining the timber tract,
on lands leased from the Penn Tanning
Co.
The assessor valued the mill and ma
chinery at $1,000, and returned the same
to the County Commissioners, who assess
ed them under the Act of 1884 as real es-
tate of said plaintiffs. Taxes were levied
by the County of Forest, school directors
of jerks township, and the road com
missioners of said township. and the du'
plicates were placed in the hands of the
defendant for collection.
The plaintiffs alleged in their bill that
the taxes were illegal, and requested the
court to issue a mandamus on the defend
ant to restrain him from collecting the
taxes in his duplicate, Tie case came
before Hon. w. NJ, Lindsey on Bill and
Answer on the 23rd day of December,
1903, and on January Is, 1904, the court
rendered a decision in the case in which
he holds that the taxes we're legally as
sessed, and that the act OF 1884 makes
mills such as this real estate for the pur'
pose of taxation, while by the acts of the
parties they are technically personal
property. He says TO hold otherwise
would open the door TO fraud, thus al
lowing persons the right to purchase
large tracts of timber and then LEASE
lands on which TO erect large and valua.
BILE mills and evade their share of taxa.
ton by saying the mills and machinery
thereto belonging are personal property
and not subject to taxation.
The bill was dismissed at the cost of the
plaintiff. The plaintiffs were ably repre-.
represented by d. |. Ball, of Warren and
the defendant by A. c. Brown, ESQ., o

Autos Not a Menace to Farmers.

The experts who hunt new things to
worry about are now figuring trouble for
the farmer from the increased use of au-
tomobiles. Soon the power wagon will
do the work of the horse in cities and be
common in every country district. This,
they say, will reduce the demand for feed
of all kinds. The grass will remain un-
cut in the meadows, oats will be used on
ly for chicken feed, corn will be in so lit
tie demand that it will be fed to the hogs,
ruin will sit down 10 sup in every farm
house. These doleful predictions were
made when the steam trains first began
to displace the stage coaches and trucks
that handled the passenger and freight
traffic of the world, they were heard again
when the bicycle appeared and now they
are ushering in the automobile. Soon the
airship will be said to threaten agricultur-
al prosperity. We presume, however, that
mankind will continue to eat as much as
ever. The COW also will not lose her APP
petite and sheep will continue to feed on
grain aud hay. The great American hog
Will thrive as OF old and the demand for
breakfast food will not diminish even if
the whole world forsakes the horse. Po-
tatoes and cabbages will taste good and
be bought for some time yet, and the
chances are that if during the next ten
years every horse in the cities and towns
should be replaced by machinery the
honest farmer would not notice the differ
ence. The railriads benefited the rural
regions most and the march of invention
will never harm the man who tolls.
There are no farms where a horse will
not be always needed, and if they become
cheaper the farmer will be able to have
more and better teams. Let the auto
come and welcome. The farmer will
find no fault. So thinks the Franklin
News, and we agree with it.

A Newspaper Worth Reading.

The Pittsburg Times is a conservative,
careful newspaper for particular people.
Its statements of fact and comments on
them are concise and correct. Its de-
partments are in charge of experts, and
its authority in all matters pertaining to
the events OF the world at large and Ofthe
community it represents more p%articu-
larly is recognized. 1t has no Sunday
edition, and its position in that regard in
Pittsburg is as unique as its thorough
reliability in every way. Staunchly Re-
publican in political policy it yet gives
all the news of all parties. Its moral
tone is high, and churchmen of every
creed find in its columns more news of
their interests and work than in all its
contemporaries combined. Sports are
given the prominence they deserve and
no more. The news concerning them is
bright, timely, and adequate, for the
work is done by a master. Industrial
matters are accorded the prominence
they merit in a Pittsburg paper, while
the stock market is given the attention
that has brought the Times into the front
rank of financial authorities. Above all
the Times is a model not only OF brevity
of statement but of dlgnifed simplicity
in its typographical appearance. Each
issue of the Times is a days history of
events the wide world round. lis price
is one cent daily or So a year.

Congratulations.

Mr.. John ii. Cullom, Editor of the Gar
land, Texas. News, has written a letter of
congratulations TO the manufacturers of
Chamberlains Cough Remedy as follows:
"Sixteen years ago when u first child
was a baby he was subject to cr0upy
spells and we would be very uneasy
about him. We began using Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy in 1887, and find ing
it such a reliable remedy for colds and
Group, we have never been without it i'm
the house since that. We have five chill
dren and have given it to all OF them
with good results. One good feature of
this remedy is that it is not disagreeable
to take and our babies really like it. An
other is that it is not dangerous, and
there is no risk from giving an overdose.

ur remedy" For Sale by DE-, j. c.

AUDITORS FORCE
IS INADEQUATE
Garrison Asks S5,52o Annual Addition
to Appropriation for New
Clerks.

District Auditor Garrison today sub
mitted to Commissioner West his esti-
mate of the money required 10 pay the
expenses of the Auditors office for the
fiscal year l9O5-l9O6. According to his
figures # will require $3.50 more for
that year than for the current fiscal
year.
The appropriation for this year was
SIS, $50. The expenses which are esti-
mated to be on the increase are those
of clerk hire.
In submitting the estimates Mr.. CARR
son made the following report TO Mr..
West:
The foregoing estimate provides for
giving regular annual salaries 10 the
three per diem clerks now employed IN
the Auditors office and for two addi-
tional clerks at 8, 600 each. The indOrse-
ment OF the Engineer Commissioner in
assigning the appropriations for the pay
of the per diem clerks makes IL clear
that the clerical force OF the Auditor 3
Office should be regularly appropriated
for at fixed salaries, since their duties
necessarily relate to all appropriations
and cannot be restricted TO work falling
under one or more special appropria-
tions.
The increased force asked for Is alb
solutely necessary for a proper and
systematic performance Of the additional
work which devolveS upon the Auditor
Office by reason of the large increase In
the expenditures TO be audited and prop
erIy accounted for. as well as special
work required BY recent legislation, and
by orders of the Commissioners.

UNION BRICKLAYERS
TIRE OF THE STRIKE
Men Would Return to Work on War
College If Their Organization
Would Remit Fines.

Bricklayers returning to work at the
new War College will be fined by the
union. This was the statement made b.
an officer of the union this morning:
but" he added. Il am unable 10 .state
whether or not the union is in posi-
ton to enforce payment of such fines
in view Of the existing conditions.
II is generally understood that the
men are Disguised with the strike and
would like to return TO work. Still, they
are lOath TO act in direct opposition to
the orders of the union.
Several of the striking men have found
outside work. but IL is thought that
most of them viii return TO their old
positions as soon as matters have quiet
ed down.
Captain Sewell is said 10 prefer the
striking workmen on account OF thelr
competency, but he VIII engage ali :ncn
who apply and are able 20 pass the civil
service regulations"
