JUSTICES ARE NOT
DISQUALIFIED
Relationship to Shareholders
Does Not Debar in
Tax Cases.

The Supreme Court yesterday hand
which it heard argument from num-
Der of attorneys the other day. The
question was whether under the Or
ganic Act a Justice of the Supreme
Court was disqualified to sit in tax
appeal case by reason of being related
within the third degree OF consanguin-
ity to stockholders In a corporation
appealing from tax assessment. The
attorneys called in to argue the mat
ter were all of the opinion that such
relationship did not disqualffy, and the
court yesterday so held in an opinion
written by Chief Justice Hartwen.
The text of the opinion is as follows:
There are on the calendar of this
court twenty-seven cases, including the
above entitled cause, of appeals by the
Territory from decisions of tax appeal
courts upon the income taxes of cor
porations.
Owing to the fact. as it now appears,
upon suggestion by the court that two

sanguinity or affinity who own shares
of stock in one or more of these cor
corations, the court, before determining
whether the justices were thereby dis
qualified, requested preliminary argu-
rnent on the question from the attor-
news in the cases The attorneys have
expressed the opinion, partly based on
construction of the statute and partly
| on decisions of several state courts
tupon similar statutes, that the justices
are not disqualified and that it is their
duty TO sit.
| The question depends upon the mean
/ ing of the statute That no person
shall sit as judge or juror in any
/ case in which his relative by affinity
! or by consanguinity within the third
degree is interested. either as a plain
! tiff or defendant, or in the issue OF

legal. to support the relative, or of
derived common interest due to any
cause. In all such instances and IN
anv case the existence of a pecuniary
interest disqualifies. It may be thar
when a relative is a party his interest
is merely nominal or that he mas no
pecuniary interest in the issue of the
case. but none the less the judge is
disqualified from sitting in such case.
In those cases the stockholders are not
parties, whatever their pecuniary IN
terest in the result of the cases may
be, so that the fact that justice Is
related to them, as long as he him
self has no pecuniary interest in the
case, does not disqualify him.
According to the decision in many
of the states a judgment by disqual-
flied Judge is void and no Jurisdiction
can be secured by consent. See cita-
lions II Enc of Law, TAI. Hence ii Is
highly important not only to observe
all disqualifying provisions Of law but
that the disqualifications be clearly de-
fined by law in order to avoid uncer"
tainty In the administration of justice.
1t is obvious that frequently judge
may, without knowing or having the
/ means of knowing the fact, have
! relative who holds stock in corpora
ton which is a party litigant in his
court, and yet his knowledge or ignor-
ance of the fact would be immaterlaI
/ if its existence is a disqualification. ii
/ is certainly not desirable that upon
such inscrutable grounds judgments OF
courts should be liable to be adjudgeo
to be utilities. We do not think thai
the law requires or admits such cause:
of disqualification.
Under the existing facts it is IN
doubtedly true that the statute doe:
not dfsqualify the justices mentioned
and it is therefore their duty to sit il
the cases.

A Somewhat Novel Situation.

A bill introduced in congress forbids
national banks making any campaign
contributions whatever, and also forbids
any corporation giving money to aid In
the election of presidential electors, rep
resentatives in congress or state legisla-
tors who may be called upon to choose
United States senators. 1t is generally
considered good measure, and 1t ID
thought it will be promptly passed.
The peculiar feature Of the matter Is
that the bill is Senator Tillman's. Think
Of It! A few years ago, when what was
called the "force bill" was under con-
alteration. elections were declared by
the state rights advocates to be state al
fairs, with which the national govern
ment had no business 10 interfere. Yet
here 10 this sweeping measure, which
goes far beyond the mere control Of
election machinery; and 1t 10 champion
toned by the fire-eating Tillman, repre-
sentative Of South Carolina, the tradi.
tiOnal hotbed Of the ideas Of state rights
qualification and secession.
Evidently that writer In correct who
says that the views of political parties on
the question Of Capitalization of govern
ment have depended, not so much on an
abstract principle, a. upon the end
sought TO be accomplished.

FORBES DISTRICT.

Tho snow storm on Christmas day,
the worst for the season as yet, was
really unfortunate for those who had
made preparations for it and were ex-
pecting a good time. Had the weather
been favorable probably a dozen teams
would have passed here during the day,
but such was the storm that not team
showed up, nor did the mail get along
until late the next day, and then it re-
quired an extra horse to pull through.
Our daughter, Mrs. l. w. Swan, of
Locke's Mills, came down the day
previous to spend the festival with US,
not mistrusting the near future, but was
glad to return the next morning for fear
of getting showed in, and there was
where she was wise as the sequel proved.
But we all received presents later on
of more or less value, not only the little
kids but also we ''children of larger
growth" One of our presents was q
writing tablet, marked Moosehead, and
contains the picture Of moOse's head
on the outside of the cover, while the in
side gives brief history of these kings
and queens of the forest.
That reminds me Of what we once
found, and | regret not having them here
to show the hunters in particular, and
everybody else in general. They would
draw for while equal to anything Bar
mum ever had in his museum.
II was in the month Of November in
1852, and We were boating up the west
branch of the Penobscot to No. 2, Range
10, for the purpose Of building camp,
and getting ready for the loggers when
the snow should come later on. There
were eight of US, five Indians, two Blue
noses, as they were called, and myself,
four men to each loaded bateau.
Going ashore one night to prepare for
supper and lodging what should we find
but the head Of q moose containing q
pair of horns such as the Indians said
they never saw before. The head and
horns were perfect, and to all appearance
the animal had been killed but few
days previous. The spread Of the horns
and the number of antlers they contain
ed cannot be given at this late day, and
therefore no guesswork will be made.

winter was the second south Of Mount
