In the United States Court in New
York City, one day last week, three
smugglers were sentenced. They had
smuggled in quantity of fine apparel
from Paris. One was sentenced to
the Federal prison at Atlanta, Georgia,
for two years, one was sent to New
York prison for one year and wom-
an in the party was fined $4,000. The
Sugar Trust has been practically
smuggling raw sugar ever since sugar
was taxed in the tariff-for making
false weights of raw sugar and pay
ing duties on those false weights is
nothing but smuggling yet when the
Trust was caught red handed in the
practice it was allowed to pay COM
promised fine and no one was i'm
prisoned. [Sunbeam.

The volume of laws enacted at the
session OF the Legislature last winter
has not been isued vet and no one
seems to know just when it will be,
but everybody is expected to know
that many of the laws became effec-
tive as soon as the Governor approved
the bills and that all others except
those having specific dates become
operative on July 4. Many of these
laws contain penalties for violations,
yet the average person has never had
the opportunity to become acquainted
with the laws. The present plan Of
distributing the laws is a little more
economical than the old one. but it
does not accomplish the purpose as
well as publishing them in the news
papers.

just to show how the Republican
party in New Jersey has favored the
railroads, take the matter of your
taxes and those of a railroad corpor-
alton. You as an ordinary taxpayer
are assessed on the value you had on
May 20 The assessment is confirmed
in August and the tax is payable on
Dec. 1; it is a lien on Dec 20 and a
penalty of 10 per cent. begins on Jan.
20 for non-payment. railroad COM
pany is assessed in November on the
value of Jan. preceding, but not ap-
portioned until February of the fol-
lowing year, and the tax becomes a
lien in February of the ensuing year,
thus giving twenty-five months after
date on which the value is computed
and fifteen months after the assess
ment is made, without penalty, for
nom payment of taxes.

spicuous in the Payne bill. Each
section is anxious to maintain the
high schedules on articles of local
production, and this strife is as
earnest in the democratic south as
in the republican north. The ap-
portionment of votes in the house
is based upon population, and con-
sequently the east and south have
an advantage over the northwest,

Payne bill. In the senate the
northwest will have a more favor

The railroad companies in Mis-
souri, were treated to little sur
prise last week. After knocking
out the two-cent rate law they pro-
ceeded to formulate schedule of
rates, ranging from two to three
cents per mile, which the compa
MES had all agreed to adopt. Then
the state authorities got busy and
secured an injunction restraining
them from putting these rates into
effect, on the ground that the rates
were discriminatory, and that the
roads had formed a bination
to destroy competition, and in vi
olation Of the anti trust laws of the
state.
