That Big Fine
Only a Joke

Chicago, July 23.-By unanimous
opinion of the United States circuit
court of appeals for the seventh dis
trict, the famous case of the govern.
ment against the Standard Oil Com.
pany of Indiana, in which the latter
was fined $29, 240 900 by Judge Lands
III the district court, must be retired.
The government has 30 days in
which to file a petition for a rehearing,
and it was announced that it will be
filed within the allotted period.
The court OF appeals differs from the
trial court on three points, holding that
Judge Lands excluded evidence for the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana
| which should have been admitted to
show proper intent IN the rate the COM
parry paid on oil; that he erred in con-
sidering each car lot a separate o~ifense,
and that in imposing the maximum
fine for the first offonse he abused the
| discretion vested in his court.
1t is strange doctrine, says the opin-
ion, whereunder a million-dollar cor
poration such as the defendant-the
| Standard Oil Company of Indiana
may be fined 20 times the amount Of
its capital stock in order TO punish &
defendant tho even under Indictment
BY this latter is meant the parent com
pany, the Standard Oil Company Of
New Jersey.

The City Council.

The city council met in regular
session on Tuesday night of this
week, Mayor Jones presiding
and all members of the council
present.
The ways and means commit
tee reported the following tax
levy for the year, and the report
was accepted, and the city at
torney told to draw an ordinance
providing for it. Bond interest,
2O-10O; general fund, 22-100;
water works bond redemption,
1O-l00; lights, 10-100; library,
6-100; railroad bond fund, 6-100;
total, IA mills.
o. n. Baldwin appeared be-
fore the council and said the fire
marshal had ordered the tearing
down of the awning in front of
his business houses. The coun-
Gil took the matter up later in
the evening and sustained the
fire marshal.
A miscellaneous batch of claims
amounting to S279.S5 was al
lowed.
The marshal's report showed
that so. far he has collected
something more than 500 in dog
tax, and he says he has about
SIS more in sight.
The council as committee of
the whole went out into the
moonlight about 1920 to inspect
the ground where a fill is to be
made on North Military street.
The city engineer was instructed
to prepare an estimate of the
cost and submit it to the council
at an adjourned meeting to be
held Friday night.

Total LZ2 Mills.

AS we understand it the total
tax levy this year is 17.2 MILL,
as follows: State, $40; county,
3; school district, 6; city, "a; to-
tai, 17.2 mills.
The mystery is, what is the
county going to do with the
money received from a 3-mill
levy? The total valuation of the
county is in round figures about
S29, 100000. A levy of 3 mills
will raise on that valuation $751;
900. Is it possible it is going to
take that amount of money to
run the county the next year?
