as rather clumsy, and while he may play his

year, who was moved to tackle to make a
place for Captain Parker. The ends are COM

RAILROAD MUST
PAY THE TAXES.

Trenton. Jan. IA decision of far
reaching import was given to day BY
the Court OF Errors and Appesls rela-
tive to the question of taxation OF
railroad property. The Court rendered
| an opinion sustaining the constitution.
ality OF the Perkins railroad law of
1905, which provides for the taxation
OF main-stem railroad property at an
| average State tax rate. This class of
property was previously taxed at thu
rate of 80 cents on each 500, and the
total revenue to the State therefrom
was about 81, 500. 600 Under to. days
decision the railroads will pay on
main-stem railroad property upward of
". 600. 600 a year. The average tax
rate for 1907 was 81. 60 on each 500.
The Court also rendered decision
IN the matter of the assessing of
second class railroad property by local
assessors. declaring the law to be un.
constitutional. This m cans that the
assessing Of this class of property will
return to the old method by which the
assessments were made By the State
Board Of Assessors. This decision does
not affect the rate of taxation of
second class railroad property. which
will continue to be taxed at the rate
prevailing in the municipality where
the property is located.
Governor, Stokes was pleased with
the decision of the Court, as it means
that a measure for which he was re.
sponsible has been upheld by the 10
Judges OF the court; also that the
schools of the State will have at least
"a. 600. GOO more per year than they
have had in the past. The Perkins
act was passed In 1906. and when the
assessments we're made on the rail.
roads in 1907 they refr sed to pay the
Increased rates. Under the law, they
paid assessments according to the act
In force before that time. An import
ant matter now Is whether the rail-
roads can be forced to pay into the
State Treasury the difference between
the sums already paid in and what the
assessment would be under the deci-
sion of the COURT. II they could be
forced to do so the State would get
about So. 500. 600 for the years 19O6-O7.
II not. then the assessments must be
made for 1908 and the State wait until
the cash is paid for this year.
As to whether the railroad companies
will attempt to appear and carry ths
matter to the United States Court is a
question. Attorney General McCarter
thought that some of the companies,
being foreign corporations. might at.
tempt to do 80. AS a result of the de.
cision there will be legislation at the
coming session of the General Assem-
bly, intended to correct the inaccura-
oies pointed out by Chief Justice
Gummere to-day.

ANNUAL SESSION
POULTRY ASSOCIATION.

The South Jersey Poultry, Pigeon
and Pet Stock Association, Tuesday
night held it's annual meeting and
made up its organization for the COM
ing year.
There were many present. dispite
the weather, and everybody took a
great interest in the work.
The officers elected are:

Show Committee-B. B. Ware, Sec
retary; Louis q. Heller, Superinten.
dent; Gearge Hustled, Assistant snper.
intendent.
The reports of the officers indicated
that the association is prosperous and
upon most substantial footing. Since
lts inception the organization has
steadily increased its mem bership and
has constantly grown in influence.
That it has had a splendid and healthy
influence upon the poultry business is
demonstrated by, the splendid class of
poultry and birds that are being devel-
oped In this section, and there has
been an added output constantly in
the amount of poultry annually mar
keted.
The recent show of the Association
was the best ever held in South Jersey
and in quality ranked with the great.
est exhibitions of the country. The
show of 1908 Will be upon even a
greater scale, and already the show
committee is planning for the event.
/ AS matter of public interest in
connection with the association, It
may be suggested that there will be a
benefit entertainments in the theatre
on January 18th. A we'll known
magician and illusionist will be en-
gagged and an entertainment OF yerv
high merit will be presented.
