The Stock Tax Law Sustained.

The New York court Of appeals has
affirmed the constitutionality of the
stock transfer tax law, which places
fee OF So on every 100 shares of stocks
sold On an exchange or at private sale.
The law was attacked on the ground
that it was class legislation. The
court says in reply that it is not class
legislation since it includes all sales of
certificates issued by any domestic or
foreign corporation and treats all alike.
The legislature without being sus-
pected of class legislation may impose
tax; upon horses leaving cows I'M
taxed, or upon barns leaving houses un-
taxed, but it may not impose a. tax
upon any particular horse, or barn or
upon the horse or barn of any particular
man. The stock tax is not laid on anv
special class of certificates and hence
does not discriminate nor establish a.
class.
The stock transfer law was admitted-
ly revenue measure and as such has
abundantly demonstrated it's usefulness.
1t brought $5,000,OOO into the state
treasury in it's first year.

The Allison Compromise.

The compromise on the rate bill pro-
posed by Senator Allison, if adopted
by the senate, is quite as likely to
breed mischief and confusion as any
! thing else. 1t proposes to give the
carrier the express right to appeal from
an order of the commission, and it pro-
poses to confer upon the circuit courts
express jurisdiction to hear and deter
! mine such suits The amendment pur-
posely leaves open the question whether
\ the courts are to take jurisdiction over
the reasonableness of the rate proposed
by the commission or are to confine
themselves to a review of the consti-
tutionality of the acts of the commits
sion. This silence leaves it in the air
] whether the review is to be the broad
! or restricted variety. Some believe the
{ courts will read into the authorization
of congress the power to review the
proceedings of the commission de novo,
others think they will refuse jurisdic-
{ tion over rates not evidently conis-
/ catory.
I Courts differ in the rigidness with
which they draw the line between what
is legislative power and what is within
! the control of the Judiciary to deter
I mine. Under the Allison amendment
one court may take one sort Of jurisr
I diotion, another a different kind. The
! United States supreme court may, o
! course, finally decide what the rule
/ regarding jurisdiction shall be and
! when that is pronounced. the lower
courts will follow it.
In any event, the rate law will I'M
! doubtedly require some subsequent
1 legislation to put it in working order.
! If the law does not produce the results
: expected from it, that is, the estab-
s lishment promptly of reasonable. I'M

I some such amendment as the Spoone1

& dency of suits.
b The feature Of the Allison amend
4 ment which is most suggestive is thai
v it points to the passage of a rate bill
6 by the senate. The political side of i

Shippers at a Disadvantage.

Was 1t for this we met--to part like this!
Was it for this we loved-to lose this way!
Can this be April reddening into May,
And will the woods grow green, and never miss
Beneath their boughs the murmur of our bliss,
The happy children of summer day.
Was it for this we loyed--to lose this wayl
Was it for this we met-to part like this!
O little haunted river, will you run
Stin thru the tees and leap the rocks in foam
Yet hear no more our voices blent with yours
If thus the painted scene of love endures
Earth's floor of flowers and heavens azure dome
0 can the play be ended, quite, quite done?

when the war broke out these young

such breaking that Mrs. Dillon writes.
The story is not one of much action,
