Revenue Law
Upheld.

Denver, March 8.-The Su-
preme court of Colorado today
handed down a decision in
which the new revenue law,
passed by the extra session of
the Legislature in 1902, is de-
clared constitutional. The case
in which the decision was rem
dered came up on appeal from
San Miguel county. The spe-
cial license required for the
sale of liquor was attacked for
the purpose of testing its le-
gality and the Colorado State
Druggists association institut-
ed the suit. The contention of
the appellants was that the
state had no right to levy tax
es in excess of the four mills
authorized by the constitution,
but the Supreme Court holds
that where this is sufficient to
provide revenue for maintain
ing the state government spe-
cial taxes may be levied and
collected.

Local piano men say no case of rate
discrimination brought out by the fight
now being waged by the Spokane bust
ness men, quite equals that which they
have been enduring for years. Under
existing conditions they are absolutely
at the mercy of coast cities the moment
they seek for trade beyond the city
limits.
Il. Simon, of the Simon Piano COM
pany explains their troubles as follows:
"In the first instance we suffer as all
Spokane merchants suffer by being
compelled to pay the coast terminal
rate plus the rate back to Spokane,
and if we wish to ship to some Big
Bend or Palouse point besides the rate
TO the coast and back, we must pay
an additional rate from Spokane to
the point in question. The coast ship
per pays the terminal rate and then
the local rate from the coast to the
same point at which we are vainly
trying to compete.
Double DisadvAntagA
"That is just what the other local
jobbers suffer, but with us we have
to send goods on trial many times and
the railroads have rule that if after
getting the piano to the Big Bend or
Palouse point, we are compelled to
reship it to Spokane, it costs the Spo-
kane dealer twice as much to send it
in as it did to ship it out. We can
only do one thing, keep the piano NOV
ing away from Spokane. What the
idea is l do not know, unless the rail-
roads want to make it doubly certain
we can't compete with coast cities:
