selling can Of tomatoes out of the
original case to a customer in North
Dakota is liable to the North Dakota
pure food law. On the other hand, it
is entirely clear that goods which COM
ply with the provisions of the federal
pure food law can be lawfully taken
into Dakota and there can probably be
lawfully sold in their original pack
ages without the state of North DakO-
ia being able to forbid such SALE So
long as the goods are articles of inter-
state commerce, that is to say, SO
long as interstate commerce in any
particular lot of goods is going on,
those goods are subject to the pro-
visions of the federal law. When the
interstate commerce with reference to
any particular lot of goods ceases then
it is clear that the goods become in
all respects subject to the state
laws. In particular cases it may not
always be easy to say whether goods
have or have not at any special time
ceased to be articles of interstate
commerce. The act makes it the duty
of the Secretaries of the Treasury, of
Agriculture and of Commerce and
Labor to prepare rules and regula-
tons for carrying out the act. It is
probable that many interesting ques-
tons will arise when those regula lions
have been prepared and promulgated,
but until they are it is useless to at
tempt to speculate what that form

Publish the Tax Sch edu1es.

The more property that man owns,
the less willing he is to pay his
proper proportion Of the expenses of
keeping up the government, either
state or national. Are you aware how
large share of the taxes due are
lodged by the rich men of every COM
munity?
The editor of the Farmers Call has
remedy which it seems to us would
go long way towards curing the
evil.
The amount of real and Of personal
property on which each person is
taxed should be made public. The
figures for the real property and for
the personal property should be pub
lished in the local papers. This is
now done in some of the states and it
should be done in all the states. Pub
licity will aid very materially in cor
recting inequalities of assessment and
in exposing dishonest returns Of pro-
perry for assessment. Of cOurs" the
greatest faults in assessment of pro-
perty for taxation are in the assess
ment of personal properly. It is safe
to say that not one third of the person
al property in cities is assessed. But
there are injustices in the assessment
of real estate that should be corrected
and that would be corrected in nearly
all cases if the assessment rolls were
published. AS it is, in many cases
politicians are not assessed near what
they should be on real estate and in
some cases real estate owned by men
with ''infiooence" escapes assessment
altogether.

Postal Savings Bank.

FOSCa1 savings Bank.
We have found, this week, in one
of our Northern exchanges, but credit
ed to the Chicago Record-Herald, an
article on this subject. We have, at
various times, advocated the establish
ment of postal savings banks. We
have never seen a single valid argu-
ment put out against them. OF course
the bankers would be opposed to the
establishment of such banks, it would
interfere with the profits of their bust
ness. But the voters of this country
are not under such great obligations
to the bankers that they should con-
suit their interests in preference to
their own
The movement for the establishment
of postal savings banks in the United
States. just launched by the North
Side Turner Society of Chicago, is
by no means new idea in this coun-
try. The proposition has been under
discussion at various times ever since
civil war days and agitations have
been started from some source or
other every year or two. Almost
every failure endangering the funds
of savings deposited has resulted in
efforts toward the esta blishment of a
postal bank system. More than a
score of bills looking to the adoption
of the system have been introduced
in Congress, and the postmasters gen
eral Of almost every succeeding admin
istration have advocated postal saw
ings banks.
Less than half dozen years after
the system had been organized in
Great Britain, which nation led the
way in postal savings banks, philan-
thropic and other organizations in this
country having, through investigation,
come to the conclusion that it was
success, strongly recommended and
urged similar action in this country.
In 1871, during the administrator
of President Grant, Postmaster Gener-
al Cresswell, in his annual report, dis
cussed the postal savings bank and
recommended it's adoption in the Unit
ed States. This was after the system
had been in operation in Great Britain
for ten years and had grown to enor-
nous proportions there, and its value
apparently had been fully demonstrate
ed.
Since that time every postmaster
general with two or three exceptions
has reported in favor. of postal saw

ing matter, Or dye stuff, in their new
pack which will be offered for sale
under the operation of the new law.
The counsel for the Baltimore Can
ned Goods Exchange, John G.. Rose,
in an opinion recently submitted to
the members analyses such portions
of the new National pure food act as
are interesting to packers of canned
goods, from which the following
salient features are culled:
sFPut briefly, the law intends to
prevent all foreign or interstate COM
MERGE in articles which are offered for
sale for what they are not, and to pro-
hibit all interstate commerce in ar
ticles which contain any substance
poisonous or detrimental or injurious
to health. very strongly advise
against the use of any color1ng matter
in tomatoes.
"Any packer will feel entirely GER
| tain he has not misbranded his goods
| when he, in point of fact, has nothing
on the label which tends to make
customer think that the goods are
either in kind, grade, quantity, quality,
place of packing or person by whom
packed different from what they in
fact are If every member Of your
| exchange were now preparing his
| labels and brands for the first time
there would he neither difficulty nor
embarrassment in complying in full
measure with the law, both In it's let
ter and spirit. Such difficulties as
members of the exchange are likely
to have arise out of the fact that
perhaps some Of them have built
up valuable trade in certain brands
of goods, the labels of which have
long ceased to be in all respects strict
| ly truthful statements of the present
conditions The packer may naturally
hesitate materially to change label,
! there is a large demand because
| he will feel uncertain as to what
| effect upon his trade such change
may have. In such case I neverthe
less advise that he take from the
label everything which is in the slight
est degree calculated to deceive.
another matter in which the mem
bers of the exchange are specially in
terested is the provision Of the ninth
section, which protects a dealer from
prosecution under the act when he
can establish a guarantee signed by
the wholesale jobber, manufacturer
or other party residing in the United
States from whom he purchased such
articles to the effect that the same
are not adulterated or misbranded
! within the meaning of the act desig-
mating it. Said guarantee to afford
protection must contain the name and
address of the party or parties max
| ing the sale of such articles to such
dealer. The members of your ex-
change as the manufacturers and job
| bers of canned goods will frequently
be called on to give such guarantee.
''There may possibly arise ques-
ton whether guarantee can be given
generally to cover future transactions.
Possibly prudent purchasers may insist
