Principle Just and Equitable.
mo more just Or equitable principle
was ever embodied in a bill. Taxa
ton should be equal according to the
ability CT each property owner to pay.
Under the license fee law passed so
years ago and maintained upon the
statutes through the powerful infu-
ence of the railroads, they have virtu-
ally assessed themselves year after
year they have evaded their taxes.
Their books, vouchers, and papers
show this fact. These railway corpor-
ations are the creatures of the state.
They ought not to be permitted to say
! TO the state, You cannot look at our
/ books and vouchers and papers, be-
1 cause they contain entries which show
that we nave wrJnged and defrauded
/ you, aud we would consequently have
to pay the penalty or. forfeiture which
the law imposes
/ Under the peculiar circumstances
/ of these cases, in which the state has
/ been compelled to resort to the courts,
+ the companies, and their officers AMI
agents, are the only ones from whom
/ facts can be elected pertaining to the
wrongs which the companies have
/ perpetrated upon the state in the eva
sion Of the statute. If they are to be
/ permitted to dodge behind personal
/ privileges the cause of the state must
fail. While it may be by no means
/ certain that they can avail them
/ elves of this privilege and escape tes-
/ flying under existing law, no one can
say that the matter is not involved in
/ grave doubt. That doubt should not
be permitted to embarrass these
cases. The enactment of this bill into
/ law viii remove it. | submit that
each of as entrusted by the state to
protect It's interests are under obliga-
lions to aid in writing this law upon
the statute books to the end that
these companies shall not evade the
payment Of ali money justly due I'M
der the law
Il am aware that this session has
been protracted one. l well under
stand that the prolonged absence Of
members from their homes and bust
ness is keenly felt as a great incon-
/ venience and a serious personal loss.
/ But there are many important bills
Still pending, the passage of which
the public interest demands. The loss
of these measures in the hurry of the
closing days Of the session will i'm
pose the necessity OF a much greater
epeuse upon the state than would be
involved in deferring the adjournment
sufficiently to carefully and deliber-
ately investigate the merits of every
pending bill"

That the several American medicinal
roots, the concentrated glyceric extracts
of which make up DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, have the strongest
kind of endorsement by scores of lead
ing medical writer's of all the several
schools of practice, brief glance at
the standard works on Matersa Meo1ica
will show. OF Golden Seal root, which
is one of the prominent ingredients of
wGolden Medical Discovery, y DR.. Roberts
Bartholow, of Jefferson Medical Col
lege, says: Every useful as stom-
achic (stomach) tonic and in atomic
dyspepsia. Cures gastric (stomach)
catarrh and headaches accompanying
same" He also mentions catarrh OF
the gall duct, jaundice and constipa-
ton as diseases which the use of
Golden Seal root overcomes; also
catarrh of the intestines, even when
it has proceeded to liberation, is
remarkably benefited by Hydrastis
Golden Seal root.
DR.. Grover Coe, of New York, says:
wHydrastis Golden Seal root) exer-
cises an especial influence over mu-
cous surfaces. Upon the liver it
acts with equal certainty and eff
ficacy. AS a cholagogue Oliver invig-
orator) it has few equals" DR.. Coe
also advises it for affections of the
spleen and other abdominal viscera
generally, and for scrofulous and gland
ular diseases, cutaneous eruptions, in
digestion, debility, chronic diarrhea,
constipation, also in several affections
peculiar to women, and in all chronic
arrangements of the liver; also for
chronic inflammation of bladder, for
which DIR. Coe says it is one Of the
most reliable agents of cure"
Prof. Hobart A. Hare, NJ. D., of the
University Of Pa, says Of Golden Seal
root that it is wof service in chronic
catarrh of the stomach and bowels,
following abuse of alcohol, and as a
tonic after malarial fever.n He further
says, it Hhas distinct anti-malarial
influence Also vgood in all catarrhal
conditions, as uterine catarrh, leucor-
rhna, ETC., and as - curative agent in
chropic dyspepsia"
Prof. Laurence johnson, M. D., of
the Medical Department, University
City of N. Y, is equally loud in his
praise of Golden Seal root, especially
for it's tonic effects in convalescence
from acute diseases and it's special
tonic influence upon mucous surfaces
and upon the gall bladder.
Doctors Barton and Tully recon-
mended Golden Seal root as pure
tonic and as an Alternative in dis
eased conditions Of the mucous menu
branes.
Prof. John King, M. D., late Of Gin
cinnati, author Of the AMERICAN DIS
PENsAToRY, gives it a prominent place
among medicinal agents, reiterates all
the foregoing writer's have said about
1T, as does also Prof. John M. Scudder,
NJ. D., late of Cincinnati. DR.. Scud-
der says: ut stimulates the digestive
processes and increases the assimilation
Of food. BY these means the blood Is
