.FRATERNALS WIN
IMPORTANT CASE

Jefferson City, Mo-, June 2.-The
supreme court in banc yesterday
handed down an opinion OF import
ance to the 100000 policyholders of
Missouri and the several million pol
icyholders in fraternal insurance as
sociations throughout the United
States
The case was that of Mary Wester-
man versus the supreme lodge of
knights of Pythias, in which the
plaintiff received judgment for 1926
in the st. Louis circuit court for the
death of her husband, ]. P. Wester-
man, who joined the association in
1895. The suit was instituted in ST
Lolis court in 1902.
The suit was prosecuted on the the
DRY that the defendant company was
under the same law as regular life in
surance companies. The association
forfeited the member for failure to
make monthly payment due in Au-
gust, 1901. The member died in Jan
uary, 1902. The plaintiff contended
that the monthly payments for six
years prior to the date of forfeiture
had created reserve in behalf OF the
beneficiary to pay for extended insur-
ance beyond the period of death, and
that the certificate was non-forfeit-
able under the statutes of Missouri.
The opinion holds that the defendant
is fraternal society and not liable
as regular life insurance company
The case is reversed. The entire
plan upon which fraternal societies
are organized was involved in this
case.

NO PASSES FOR
OFFICE SEEKERS

IF man announces that he seeks
nomination of political party for q
public office, he is candidate fol
that Office within the meaning and
scope of the anti-pass statutes of
Wisconsin" An Official opinion to
this effect has been announced by At
torney General Sturdevant. The ef-
feet is to deprive candidates OF the
right to use railroad passes after they
have announced their candidacy and
before their nomination, as well as
after their nomination. The letter
upon which the opinion was made
came from the rate commission
which had received such an inquiry
from a citizen who was about to an
nounce his candidacy and who pos.
sesses newspaper mileage on two
roads. He desired to know whether
he could lawfully make use of this
transportation, Or was he 20 be con-
sidered a candidate prior to receiving
nomination. The attorney general
opinionates to the effect that a man is
a candidate as soon as he announces
his candidacy.

RAILROAD TAXES
COMMISSION ANNOUNCES FINAL
DETERMINATION.
MORE THAN LiCENSEG FEES

It Would Get Had Old System Of
Taxation Continued Valuation
Slightly Reduced from Preliminary
Figures.
Madison, June 2.

Madison, June 2.
The state tax commission Yesterday
.inounced the final assessment OF
ailroad property for 1906, in accord
nee with the ad valorein law of
1908. The final total or the value OF
he railroad property in Wisconsin Is
ct down as 1897 1896 This is
eduction of nearly S1,000,000 from
10 total as set down in the prelirn-
nary assessment, announced before
he roads had their hearings before
he conn G,,on.
The final assessment is an increase
of approximately sS,50O,000 over the
total ''aluat;on of the railroad prop
rty year ago.
The rate OF taxation to be paid by
he roads this year is s.0113S19066,
which means that on every $1,000 OF
aluation the railroads pay the state
11.3S.
The total railroad tax for 1906 Is
2,700,23
This is an increase OF $12O, 9469O
yer the total OF last year.
The ad valorem law requires the as
essment to be made on the ad va
orem basis, but the tax commission
makes two sets of figures, one OF the
ad valorem assessment and one Of
he old license fee system, so that
the courts throw out the ad valorem
ssessment the state will not en-.
irely lose railroad taxes. AS a re-
ut OF this manner of imposing the
AK the difference of the ad valorem
ak from the license fee tax is appar-
mt. Had the old license fee tax coz,
inued in Wisconsin the railroad
axes would have totalled $2,057,733-
"a, which is $642,500 less than the
mount of the ad valorem tax. In
Their words $642,50o is the cost to
the railroads Of the ad valorem law
for this year, being the excess of tax
required to be paid by them under
the ad vaforem law, over what they
would have to pay the same year
had the old license fee system of
taxation continued.
The following schedule shows the
final assessments OF the Wisconsin
property OF each railroad and the tax
of each for 1906:

RAILROADS LOSE
REBATE DECISION

Milwaukee, June 1.-The United
States circuit court for the eastern
district OF Wisconsin yesterday an
nounced decision in the reEate case
Of the government against the Mil
waukee Refrigerator company, six
railroads and the Pabst Brewing COM
pany, on charges of alleged violation
OF the Elkins act, finding against the
defendants with the exception of the
Pabst Brewing company. AS far as
the latter is concerned, the suit Is
dismissed. Complaint was made by
the United States that the refrigera-
tor transit company had received COM
missions Of 10 to 1914 per cent on all
shipments of beer of the Pabst Brew
ing company routed by the refriger-
ator transit company. A copy Of a
traffic agreement with the Erie rail-
road was made an exhibit of the COM
plant. The railroad companies ad-
mitted having made such concessions,
but claimed that these had been paid
the same as commissions to other
freight solicitors. Judge Baker de-
livered the opinion, which was con-
CURED in by Judges Grosscup, Sea-
man and Kohlsaat.
