ties and necessities.
Tax on Your Receipts
City Attorney N. G. Sperry arose
and registered his dissent to the doc
trine announced by the mayor that
Legislative bodies have no right TO
regulate rates Of quasi public con-
Germs. Abuses of corporate power
had grown to such an extent in these
days. he said, that it sometimes be-
comes almost impossible for smaller
Independent concerns to enter into
competition with them. Mayor Grille
interposed and said that he didn't
believe legislative bodies should be
denied the right, but thought they
could not properly exercise the right
and that 1t should be left to others
more competent in order to arrive
at fair and reasonable regulation.
Mr.. sperry reiterted that he didn't
believe legislative bodies should give
up any part OF the privilege to regu-
late public service corporations. He
agreed with the petition Of the citi-
zens of Clarksburg that the franchise
ordinance was for too long a term
and thought twenty years would be
sufficient. "Ir it is right to charge
the applicant company $500 year
now for the franchise privilege" he
said, ut would be right to charge 1t
more at the end OF twenty or thirty
years, because its plant and business
would be greatly enhanced in
money making power by that
time. And If it would be right to
charge $500 a year then 1t is wrong
to charge that amount now" The
best way out Of that situation, Mr..
sperry thought, would be to tax the
electric light company upon the gross
receipts Of its business. Its earnings
would then go along with the life
of the franchise, and as business in
creased the tax would increase pro-
portionately to the benefit OF the city,
thus imposing no hardship on the
company.
Just then Councilman Johnson
arose and moved an adjournment be-
cause it was getting late. Council
man Wood objected. A vote was
taken which resulted in favor Of ad-
journment, and Mayor Grille declared
the body adjourned.

Mrs. James z. Adams. 40s Madison
ST.. Wilmington, Del, says: we
think very highly Of Doans Kidney
Pills and are never without them in
the house. My husband made a state
ment in 1897 recommending Doan's
Kidney Pills. His back had troubled
him for twenty years, brought on by a
strain across his kidneys years ago.
He was lame during the day and suf
fered intense pains during the night
more particularly after a hard days
work. He felt languid, tired and worn
out in the mornings. Seeing Doans
Kidney Pills highly recommended he
procured a box at Danforth's Phar-
macy and used them. The pain was re-
lieved, his back was made stronger, he
rested and slept well nights and arose
in the mornings feeling refreshed.
ready to do a days work. He gave
a second statement in 1904 in which
he stated that he was still a strong
advocate for Doan's Kidney Pills and
that their good effects we're as appar-
ent as when made seven years previous.
Today, April 27, 1907, I can say that
Doan's Kidney Pills act as represented

The Iannnsss Towel.

American women have liked the little
japanese towels ever since they were
introduced IN this country. This home
" necessity is homely only IN its usage,
for the prints are pretty, resembling
some splendid stencil effects. If num-
her are whipped together they make
the neatest kind Of couch cover; two
serve for a roomy pillow cover; one
folded makes a laundry bag; they are
neat for the dresser, washstand or buff
fet. The towel is yard in length and
fifteen inches In width. The material
looks like a good quality Of cheese
cloth, and the stencil effect is made In
blue, green and red. and often little
black is seen. One can get them in the
department stores, but they can always
be purchased in any Of the japanese
departments.
