CORPORATIONS VINCE
AT THEIR TAX BILLS

TRENTON, Aug. 31:-The State
Board of Assessors met Tuesday at
the state house, after a two weeks
vacation, and considered twenty
three appeals of miscellaneous cor
porations from the state tax assessed
against them by the board. One APP
peal was laid over, in one case a re-
duction of the tax was denied, and
in the remainder the appeal to have
the tax reduced from the basis of
the total authorized capital stock to
the basis of the actual amount of
stock issued was granted. This
makes ni~nety-one appeals of this
character the board has already con
sidered this summer.
A large volume of work is entail
ed upon the board every year by neg
lect of corporations to make proper
returns on which their assessments
are based, and most of the appeals
are due to this cause. Under the law
miscellaneous corporations are tax
ed on the amount of capital stock
actually issued, and this is one of
the facts on which they should make
returns.
Every corporation which fails to
make proper return is in default the
first Tuesday in May of each year,
and is then assessed to the full
amount of its authorized capital
stock, and the tax is levied according
ly. In most of the cases of neglect
to make return the first cutlery comes
to the board upon the receipt Of the
bill for the tax.
After the corporation is in default
the only remedy is an appeal. To
get the hearing before the board, a
petition must be filed, setting forth
the complaint under oath. and this
petition must be- made within three
month of the date of the assessment.
Irving e. Mcguire, secretary OF
the board, says that there is no eX-
cuse for the neglect to make returns,
for a notice calling for the report is
sent to every corporation of this class
in the state in March each year, and
the second Tuesday in May a second
notice is sent to each corporation
that has not reported at that time.

tant provision and with the East and
West Chinese-Eastern line and the
Southern line as far as Kuenchengtse
still in Russia's possession could in case
of a future issue give her control of
the largest part of Manchuria-the
whole vast territory from the fertile
valley of the Sungari, called the
"Granary'' of the province, northward.
Another important provision is that
Japan's succession to the Port Arthur
and Liaotung leases which Russia sur
renders is conditional upon China's as
sent.
The armistice has not been arranged
as yet. The war departments both ut
st. Petersburg and Tokyo are consult
ing Linevitch and Oyama respectively,
and it is not improbable that the ar
mistice will be concluded directly by
the generals OF the field of battle.

CURE FOR HAY FEVER.
c. A. Sexton Says HyOmei Will Give !ReIief
Sold Under Guarantee.

The season for hay fever is almost at
hand, and many people feel that they
will be obliged to go away in order to
avoid the sneezing, watery eyes, and
other annoying symptoms of this disa-
greeable summer disease.
G. A Sexton wishes us to
that when Hyomei is used as a preventive
or a cure, there will be no hay fever. He
advises daily treatment with Hyomei for
two or three weeks before the usual time
for the annual appearance of hay fever.
If this IS done, the attack will be pre-
vented. However, if the preventive treat
ment is not started soon eBough, and the
disease makes its appearance, use Hyo-
mel six or seven times daily, and relief
will be given at once.
There is no stomach dosing when Hyo-
mel is used. Breathed through the neat
pocket inhaler that comes with every out
fit, its medicated air reaches the minutest
air cells, killing all germs and soothing
and healing the irritated mucous men,
brane.
The complete IIyomei outfit costs but
81, extra bottles 30 cents. 1t is tho only
treatment for hay fever sold by c. A.
Sexton under a guarantee to refund the
money if it does not give satisfaction.

The Elizabeth Journal suggests
that New Jersey take up the south
ern method Of selecting United States
senators. 1t says:
1.-THE United States senate may
never consent to amend the constitu-
ton so as to make United States SEN
ators elective by the people, but this
end is accomplished almost as effect
ually when the state adopts the prac-
tice of naming the party candidate
for senator at the primary election
as it now does by three states-Miss-
issippi, South Carolina and Virginia.
Illinois will have the benefit of this
system next year. The practice is
bound to grow, as it appeals strongly
to popular preference. Its tendency.
as shown recently in Virginia, is to
make the state primary election a
very hot and strenuous contest, while
it eliminates some recognized evils
in the controlled Legislative election

FIALA'S TELLS
OF POLAR TRIP.
Attic Explorer Returns from the
Far North Declares Pole
Can be Reached.
SUGGESTS TO SCHEMES

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Anthony Fl
ala, the Brooklyn man who headed the
Niegler arctic exploration expedition
and who has been in the north since
July, 1903, returned home on the White
Star liner Oceanic. Fiala confessed
the failure of the $1,000, 900 expedition
to attain the coveted prize, but gener-
ously predicted a greater measure of
success for his rival, Lieutenant Com
mander Peary. He also unfolded two
new schemes by which he believes that
the pole may be found.
IAN explorer has a very slight chance
of reaching the pole,' he said, ''unless
he has a very lagge party, composed
Of men who are willing to remain in
the arctic regions for at least five
years, or, better still, ten.
1.-The result of my own attempt has
convinced me that the pole may be
reached in n or two ways. The first
is that a ship be sent out every year.
The object of the first two ships should
be merely to train the members of the
expeditions to endure the rigors of the
climate and accustom them to hunt
game and to live on the meat foods
that the arctic furnishes. Without Il
party thoroughly trained in this way
the search is doomed to failure.
''These ships should be used as sup
ply and relief stations. If the one
which shall have reached farthest north
is destroyed the party can fall back
to the next by the sledges. In this
way the explorers would have thor
oughly equipped stations at certain dis
tances apart. The caches of the Duke
of AbruzZi are in line with this idea.
but ships would better serve the pur.
pose.
MY other plan is more unique. II
is to build Il drift vessel, of curse
steel, capable of resisting any pressure
by the ice. 1t should be powerful
enough to break its way through any
thing. This, with explosives to aid ii
and a favorable drift by the arctic ice,
might very probably land a party neal
enough to make the dash to the pole
sure of success.
"Of all the expeditions that have
ever started for the pole, from what I
near, that of Commander Peary seems
to have the best chance. He should.
| think, go farther north than any man
has yet gone.
Il do not know whether or not I shall
again seek the poles l do not know
whether or o young Ziegler intends
to complete his fathers plans or not.
If the needed money is forthcoming
doubtless l shall be ready to try
again"
The Fiala expedition sailed from
Norway into the north in June, 1908.
Two months later word reached civ
ili2ation that the ship had passed be-
You'd the lines of communication, and
from that time nothing was heard of
Mr.. Fiala or his companions until they
were found on July 80 last by the re-
lief expedition sent after them in COM
mand of w. S. Champ.
Mr.. Ffala had lost his ship, but he
had established a good camp and was
i'll shape to spend another winter had
not the relief expedition picked him
up. In his two years of fighting the
difficulties of the arctic he had lost
only n man, a seaman, and this
mans death was from causes that
would have ended him at his own home
in Norway.
