DufEIeld Act 0. K.

The Court of Errors and appeals has de-
eided that the Duffield act is constitutional.
This law provides for the assessment of
second railroad property by local as
SCISSORS, but that where the local assessors
fail to assess, the State Board of Assessors
shall do so.
The RAILROADS eontended that this latter
provision was unconstitutional, violating
the provision that all property shall be
assessed in uniform manner The court
hold.that the provision for assessments where
local assessors fail is in no sense yiolative
of the principle that tax laws should be
uniform.
The result OF the decision is that several
millions of dollars that have been withheld
from the municipalities pending determin-
alton Of the issue, will be released. The
Dufield acs was passed in 1905.

One OF the hardest types Of farm animals
to classify at our county fairs is the all
purpose horse" the type produced by a
large number of farmers who breed with no
real object in view other than just simply
raising colt. 1t is claimed by them that
this general purpose animal can do heavy
work when called uyon, then, if occasion
demands t,can be unhitched from the pillow
and placed between the guiders Of a buggy
and make good time on the road. Both
tasks are difficult to most so-called all. pur-
pose horses, for genuine farm horse is too
heavy for light work. Usually these dual
purpose horses sell at discount when
placed on the market, and seldom does the
producer realize profit from his breeding
adventures. 1t is utterly impossible to OBJ
tain in any one animal the endurance of
the racer, the strength of the drafter, the
horse, and the quality and speed of the
roadster, for the law of correlation and linn
it's prevents such freaks in animal breed
ing; but it is possible to raise top notch
individuals in any Of the above named
Glasses, providing we concentrate all our
energies and strive in every way to raise a
specialized animal. In my Judgment the
draft horse is the farmers speciality, and the
business of raising them is a profitable one
for the man who studies the markets and
prod uoes the type of horse that tops the
sales

No Dancer OF Panic

There is no danger OF a panic. Those who
are predicting it overlook the fact that the
world volume Of money is increasing. Ris-
ing prices follow an increase in the curren-
cy and it is impossible to have general pan
ie when prices are rising. OF course, there
will be re adjustments in special cases
where speculation raises prices above the
normal level but we may expect steady
increase in the level of prices and contin-
uation Of prosperity as long as the volume
of money increases more rapidly than popu-
lation and business.
The trouble is lot with wealth produce
ton, but with distribution. The trusts
are bleeding the public; the tariff barons
are extorting from consumers and the rail-
roads are oyercharging patrons. but these
things can be remedied now easier than
ever before. The trusts can be dissolved
and they will employ more people and sell
more goods under competition; the tariff
can be reduced and the wage roll and the
output increased; railroad rates can be re-
duced and the patrons can use the money
thus saved in buying what the manufacturers
have to SELL
Now is the time to dissolve the trusts, re-
form the tariff and reduce railroad rates.
and no threat of panic should scare the pub

A S29, 900, 900 Fine.

Judge Lands, in the Federal court in
Chicago, has imposed fine Of 500, 240,0 600
on the STANDARD Oil Company. The penalty
is ISL times as great as the benefits the Oil
Trust received by illegal rebates, for the
taking Of which it was punished. There
remain untried in Judge Landis court
seven indictments, total of A 422 counts
against the corporation for similar offenses,
and if Judge Lands should assess the
maximum fines for these offenses, after con-
yiction, the Standard will have $50, 440, 900
more to pay in fines.
Judge Lundis has fitted the punishment
Of the Oil Trust to its crimes No corpora
tion in America has profted more from the
protection Of law than this same Standard
Oil Company. 1t should have obeyed the
law, and have thereby set an example to
persons with less power and of less prom
inenee. The Standard, like some other real
and artificial persons, has undertaken to
nulIifY such statutes as do not meet with
its approval, and by reason of the influence
it has yielded, has made of itself a public
enemy.
The Standard will probably appeal from
Judge Landis' decision But it is dificult
TO see how it can hope to avoid 'cashing
in Laws are made to be obeyed, and
penalties are made severe to enforce obedi-
ence. As Judge Lands stated, the railroads
have no more right to make a secret rate for
a shipper than board of assessors would
haYe to make secret assessment Of any
particular property.
The fines levied by Judge Lands appear
to be oonfscatory, but they are necessarily
SO. The Standard Oil Company's accep-
tance of rebates involved the destruction of
competition, and, in sense, was confisca-
tory. The advantage enjoyed in these re-
bates enabled the Standard Oil Company to
realize enormous, unjust and unusual prof
its, by confscation of the property of it
patrons. Punishment must at times be
confscatory, since were they otherwise, they
would be ineffective.
Judge Lands seems TO have had an ade-
auate conception of his duty. The law is
plain, the violations were obvious, and
merited the sort OF sentence that has been
handed down. True American.

mares must be used rather than the farm
work mares. tt is necessary to have high
class stations, animals of exquisite style
and finish, possessed Of stamina. strength
and endurance and ones that can move in
an attractive manner. Il is reasonable and
just to oonfne their usefulness TO mares Of
their own class and use heavy draft stall
lions on the general run Of farm mares. 1t
costs no more to produce 1000 pound
horse than those averaging from ! $50 to
1900 pounds, and in the market ceaters the
premium paid on the former is we'll worth
while trying for. 1t is not uncommon to
get $500 per pair for good road pair, but
they must be the product Of mares Of like
usefulness, mated with erupted standard

Inspiration.

Everybody would like to fly, but nobody
can. Man doesn't understand how it's
done, though he's going to. Eyes are al
ways looking, brains are always bordering
over the mysterious law of flight. IT CAM
be like anything we know already, because
the more data we gather, the more confused
we become. Yet there must be something
that explains it all.
Some day man will be thinking about
this pulling problem, and all of a sudden
light will fash upon him. He will i'm
mediately see every fact about flying in its
proper relation to every other fact. Proba-
bly, it will all be ridiculously simple.
Then everybody will fly.
How is the man going to discover this
law-by reading and thinking and watch
ing the eagle float for hours on motionless
wings? No; not by any of these things
alone 1t will break upon him in sudden
flood Of light.
And he will call it inspiration, says the
Albany Times Union.
What is inspiration?
Nobody knows exactly. Nobody is quite
certain as to where it comes from. It doesn't
seem TO come from the inside out, but rath-
er from the outside in, from spaces some
where, perhaps from realms beyond the fur
theresty tiny star, or maybe from right be-
hind us, where IT has been standing all the
time.
But every man must have it, unless he is
content to live little, warped life. Thou
sands and thousands Of people think life is
q failure, when it isn't life that's failure
at all, but only that they themselves have
never found their inspiration.
Inspiration comes with love--love Of
your friend, love Of your wife, love Of your
work, love Of whatever you undertake.
HaIf-heartedness is its deadIiest enemy.
No man eyer wrote great cong, or created
weat thought or made great discovery,
or found a great love unless he was ire
mendously in earnest.
Perhaps that's what's the matter with
you?
When the world knows the law OF fight,
Il will have been because light fell upon
some unconauerahle effort
Inspiration is only the sunlight at she
high noon Of human endeaYor.
