Telephone Companies Object.
The numerous independent telephone COM
paIlies are not the only corporations in Ne
braska Directing to the tax provided for by
the late legislature in the bill which
prescribes that all corporations shall pay q
stated sum annually for the right to do
business in Nebraska, based on the capital
stock.
So far the small telephone companies
have made the most strenuous objections,
Oub q JIG hlhCoih COnCcTu bOOhy raised an
objection because the secretary OF state
interpreted the law to mean a tax on the
authorized capital stock rather than the
paid up capital stock.
Frank Wood, who IL interested in the
corporation in a conversation over the
telephone with a member Of the office
forse of the secretary OF state gave out
the impression that he might appeal to the
courts to pass on the law and the legality
Of the secretary's Interpretation of it.

time, but that II any one OF them violated
the pure drug law he would be on his
back in a minute. Mr.. Mains explained
the law as 1t applied to druggists and gave
his Interpretation of its various sections.
G. w. Beckwith of Beatrice urged the
druggists to form an association in every
county and get Close together. He decried
the generally accepted statement that the
drug business was all profit and he also
regretted that the a~nti-peddler bill failed
of passage in the late legislature.
