ask the Supreme Court 70 pass upon
the validity OF the measure rs prompt
~ as possible, hoping that the matter
may be decided so that the January
assessment OF railroad properties may
be made under the old law.
The contention OF the railroads i'm
their fight against taxation according
To the value OF their properties has
been that the general properties are
assessed notoriously low, and that 4
computation Of the average rate of
taxation based on these undcr-yalues
is much higher than the railroads
should be required 20 pay. The state
tax commission. realizing that the
general properties were assessed too
low, undertook at one time 10 esti-
mate that 20 per cent should be added
TO the assessments in order TO arrive
at the real value and, therefore, at
the proper rate OF taxation Ia the
state.
The Supreme Court at that time de-
cided that the state tax commission
could not assume that the assessing
officers OF Michigan have uniformly
violated the law requiring assessments
10 be at cash value, and In the absence
OF proof the assessments OF the super
viSors must be taken as correct.
The same question in little differ
ent form now confronts the court.
IL is pointed out that " the new
law is sustained the tax commission,
or state board Of assessors, will have

ti0n on the railroads OF the state. but
20 tX the rate OF taxation at any
figure u may choose by adding 10 or
subtractiug from the total assessed
valuation OF the state, and dividing
this amount by the sum raised by tax
alton on the general properties OF the
state. This Is such an extraordinary
power and 50 likely To DE abused that
the attorney general contends that
il Is prohibited by tho constitution Of
the state
While the present board Of assessors
is claimed 10 be friendly 10 the rail-
roads and willing 10 cquallze valua-
tions in such manner as TO reduce
the average rate of taxation, ii is
pointed out that there is no safety
for the railroads in the present meas.
urc, as n hostile board might at any
, time cut down the valuation OF the
, general properties and Increase the
, railroad assessments almost To- the
point OF confscatlon.
The railroad taxation question,
which has entered so largely into the
political campaign in this state, is not
likely TO be closed for many years TO
come.

SHAW ON THE CURRBNCY.-Secretar
Shaw, it is learned today, raises an
objection against the first recommen-
dation in the plan of the monetary
commission Of the American Bankers
association. He had been understood
in fact, represented, as favoring the
bankers plan in it's entirety. The Sc
cretary, in conversation with one OF
his callers today, pointed out that the
recommendation that national banks
are permitted to issue credit currency
up to 40 per cent of their bond secured
circulation subject to a tax Of q pei
cent a year would lead to the Issuance
Of circulation in large amounts by
the banks not to meet emergencies, but
to make a profit. The secretary ex-
planned that his idea of an emergency
circulation was one taxed or pei
cent. which could be issued profltably
when interest rates were abnormal, say
above per cent, and which would re-
tire as soon as interest rates dropped
to normal.
The attitude of the secretary toward
the new currency plan created much
interest among senators and represen-
tatives today, who realize that any
currency legislation proposed ought tc
have the sanction Of the president and
secretary of the treasury.
The presidents views on the plar
are not known, but it was announced
by one of those interested in the bank
ers' plan that the secretary had beer
freely consulted and that he would
lend his assistance to pass it.-Wash-
ington dispatch Of the 10th instant.

- Mr.. o. B. Martin, the state super

circular letter calling the attention of
county superintendents and teachers
to the statute providing for the OBJ
servance Of Arbor Day. He says:
''Inasmuch as the day is so near to
Thanksgiving Day it might be well to
combine their celebration on the date
best suited to your conditions. 1t
will be an appropriate occasion to in
vite patrons and to take steps for per-
manent school improvements. 1t will
be profitable to have the children col
lect in leaf or book albums as many
different kinds of leaves as possible,
various kinds of trees that grow in
South Carolina, the leaves may also
be used for spelling or drawing les
sons, and an exhibit of this work will
form a part Of your entertainment of
visitors. An exhibit of the various
kinds of wood might be collected and
pupils might make some useful arti-
cles of school or household furniture.
as pointers, inkstands, rules, gavels,

seems to be to teach the value Of
flowers, shrubbery and shade trees.

| VALUE OF THE CoRNSTALK.-Prof. II
w. Wiley of the department of agri-
culture, thinks he has struck dis
covery that will add greatly to the
value of the corn crop. He believes the
stalks of sweet corn might be made te
Weld sugar of the best quality ant
thus take the place to a large extent
Of the beet that is now raised for su-
gar, and which is more expensive
crop than corn. The stalks of the swee
corn contain much more sugar thar
those of the common field corn, ant
the sugar content is at its maximum
at the time when the ears are pulled
Sugar of course, is really convertible
into alcohol and inasmuch as each 10(
pounds of stalks will yield six and 9
half pounds of absolute alcohol 1t Is
easily seen what good thing the far
mer has been allowing to go to waste
1t is recalled in this connection thai
until few years ago the cotton plant
ers knew virtually nothing Of the conn.,
mercial uses or value Of cotton seed
but since the department Of agriculture
demonstrated the convertibility of this
seed into various forms Of commercial
value 1t has added greatly to the In
come of the planters. For a hundred
years the cotton seed was allowed tc
go to waste. 1t is now by-product
of great consideration. Prof. Wiley
thinks the cornstalk can be similarly
utilized-The Washington Herald.
