Madison, Wis, June. %. = The SUI
preme court has set aside the decision
of the lower court which entered a
Judgment of $4,000 against each Of
four railroads for alleged incorrect re-
porting Of gross earnings as charged
by Railroad Commissioner Thomas.
The roads affected by the Judgment
are the Chicago and Northwestern,
Chicago Milwaukee and st. Paul. Chi
cago, st. Paul, Minneapolis and Oma-
ha, and the Minneapolis, St Paul and
Ste. Marie roads. The ad valorem tax
law itself is upheld. The ad valorem
taxation law is the product of the leg
islatfve session of 1908, and changes
the system of taxing railroads from
the license to the percentage upon
valuation set by the state tax com
mission sitting as the state board Of
appraisement The law was drafted
by the tax commission after four years
Of careful study.
Provisions of the Law.
The law provides that the railroads
shall pay into the state treasury the
regular license fee as paid under the
gross earnings system, and that when
the valuation of the road is made and
the assessment rate determined any ex-
cess shall be paid back to the company,
and any deficiency shall be made good
by the railroad company. The act was
attacked by the Chicago and North
western Railway company.
Inheritance Tax Law Valid.
The Wisconsin inheritance tax law
was sustained. 1t imposes a tax upon
every transfer Of property real or per-
sonal, lying within the jurisdiction of
the state, made either by will or the
Inheritance laws Of the state. or in con-
temptation of the death of the owner
and to take effect after his death
Transfers under power of attorney are
also subject to the tax. The tax so
imposed is upon the clear market value
of the property at the rates imposed
by law and upon the excess Of exemp-
tions granted by law.
Some Features of the Statute
Int pIlIHdIy rates are IulpOSeu upon
estates which exceed the exemptions
allowable. and do not exceed $4,000
The primary rates range from / per
cent. in the case of the wife husband,
lineal issue or lineal ancestor OF the
deceased. to 3 per cent. in the case OF
the most distant relatives and stran-
gers in blood The rates of taxation
are graded according to the value Of
the estates.

President PinEham of the Board Of
Health has written a letter to Gov
ernor Carter giving some additional
reasons for urging the new regulation
which he presented at the last meeting
of the Board of Health, regarding the
use Of stores i'm foods which foodstuffs
are sold, as places of habitation. The
letter is as follows:
"Hon. George r. Carter, Governor, Ter
ritory of Hawaii, Honolulu.
"Sir:-Relative to the proposed regu-
lation, in re Human Etabitation, per-
nit me to more clearly state the rea-
sons for the introduction of the meas
ure.
"1st.-The prevention Of a dangerous
custom of habitation and menace to
public health.
"Our recent experiences leaves no
grounds for argument or dispute and
the proofs are sufficient.
1--WE have recently found persons
sick, dying and dead or vlrulent con-
tagious diseases, lying in hunks under
around and above which were fruits,
vegetables and food stuffs offered for
public consumption.
1--WE have found hunks in warehouses
containing a large quantity Of valuable
goods, and in one instance found a
bunk resting directly on a high pile
of tea chests
1T is unnecessary to discuss the
sanitary conditions generally obtaining
in many Of these places.

term immediately adjoining or con-
nected with is used. The term is fore
ed on us from the subdivisions made in
these stores as the partitions consti-
tute no practical division or separa-
ton of living quarters from the place

death occurring under circumstances
contrary to law would estop any claims

SAYS TEACHERS
Do NOT TEACH
BOARD OF EDUCATION RECEIVES
KICK FROM. TEACHER ON HA-
WAII.

The Board of Education yesterday re-
ceived a letter from one NJ. j. Soares
a teacher of Pahoa, Hawaii, in which
Soares strongly intimated that the
teaching system in the islands is de-
cidedly faulty. The letter, which was
filed without action, was as follows:
"Pahoa, June II, 1906.
ITO the Supt. of Public instruction,
Honolulu.
Dear Mr.. Rabbit:
Enclosed herewith, please find my
report for term ending June Is, 1906.
Il hereby beg leave to say that if
you can find time to give me a hearing,
shall show you that the pupils in the
common schools of Hawaii, are not be-
ing properly taught
Among other things. I will show:
81. That pupils do not read natural
ly.
80. That they do not understand
what they read about.
SO. That they cannot substitute
nouns for pronouns in their reading les
sons.
a. That punctuation is not receiving
the attention its Importance demands.
"5 That pupils cannot use words in
sentences of their own making in the
sense that they are used in the lesson.
&C. That no effort is made to ascer-
tain whether or not pupil understands
the language of proSlelhs in arithme-
tic.
Hoping to receive a favorable reply
ct remain, your humble servant,
IN. ]. SOARBS,
"Pahoa, Hawaii"
A petition was received asking for
removal of Swain, Hawaii teacher
but the Board thought that there was
nothing in the proposition and filed il
away.
On request of Princiapl f. A Rich
mond of the TIilo High School it was
| agreed to allow the Masons of Hilo tc
lay the corner stone for the new Hile
| High School
A circular letter was received from
! San Francisco, calling attention tc
many donations of books and other aid
for the San Francisco schools, from
/ schools all over the country. There
were "a schools burned in San Francis
co. The schools here have closed, and
the department is without funds, sc
| that there will probably be no action
| here in the matter.
| The following recommendations from
| the Teachers Committee were acted
upon favorably:
That applications of Mrs. A. M. Mann
! Miss Kinney, Miss Boswell, Mr.. Bright
WELL Mrs. Wong, Mrs. Macdonald, Mo
! okni, be placed on file.
That a life diploma he granted Miss

IN TIME OF PEACE.

In the first months of the Russia-Ja-
pan war we had striking example OF
the necessity for preparation and the
early advantage of those who. so Il
speak. "have shingled their roofs i'm dry
weather" The virtue Of preparation has
made history and given to us our great
est men. The individual as well as the
patton should be prepared for any emer
gency, Are you prepared to successful
ly combat the first cold yOn take? A
cold can be- cured much more quickly
when treated as soon as ii has been con
tracted and before it has become settled
in the system. Chamberlain's Cough

and it should be kept at hand ready for
instant Use. For sale by 7. j. Liable.

The Sunday Law.

In Its reports to the Court the
Grand Jury of Iberia Parish said
eve find that this law hes been
generally violated and have
brought in indictments accordingly
-regretfully We admit, but indict-
ments nevertheless. We would
suggest that it the court will 10
the future instruct the Sheriff TO
enforce this law as all others
throughout the parish, that future
Grand Juries will be spared the
pain of having to find more than
one true bill against any one per-
sou. 1t is the expressed opinion
OF the Grand Jury that it is alrea-
dy the duty of the court to instruct
the Sheriff to make arrests each
Monday morning for violations of
this law and the Grand Jury fully
believes that in this way only can
this law be enforced. We deplore
the fact that violators of this law
have been hauled up at each term
OF court aud fined and that the law
continues to be violated. We be-
lieve that with the court rests the
remedy"
And the Court has applied the
remedy. The first dose, little
roll of $3.50. The next will proba- |
bly, be little stronger, and the
patients be placed for a term of
thirty days in charge of the iailer
for recuperaticn.

Doom of the Farm Horse.
Farm and Ranch.

| Farm and Ranch.
The following, which is going
the rounds in many papers, should
be read in connection with the ar
ticle entitled: Will the Horse Go.
printed on another page.
Good-by to Dobbin, the faithful
and sturdy old farm horse. No
longer will "the plowman home
ward p'od his weary way. Instead
he will simply turn on the second
speed of his agricultural motor car
and go dashing up the lane to the
farmhouse at the rate of 90 miles
an hour.
In the early months of 1902
what proved to be the first success
full gasoline agricultural motor ap-
peared, contesting at nearly all of
the great agricultural competitions
of the season in England and car
rying off the gold medals from the
horse in every contest.
Flowing proved to be the first
phase of farm labor to which the
agricultural motor was introduced
and at which it made its initial re-
putatlon, says a writer in the Tech
meal World. Steam engines had
proven too heavy for the soft land
being plowed and here the agricul-
turist expected to mire the inter
nal combustion motor, but he sig
nally failed. For a blowing test
among horses, steam power and
the gasoline motor two and three
quarter acres of very heavy clay
soil were selected. 1t was a con-
iltion that the burrows were to he
nine inches wide and six inches
ieep. In doing the work nine
horses, three to pillow, with three
irivers and three boys, did the
work at total cost of IS. 25, or at
he rate of S36S an acre. By
team power the total cost of plow-
ng the same area amounted to
$3.50, or at S4,W an acre, and with
he gasoline motor the cost total
d -, A or at 81 81 an acre. For
flowing purposes a three-furred
low is invariably used except in
eavy clay soils where a couple of
arrows prove sufficient
