An American inventor has so far per-

road took the place long held by the
stage coach and the canal boat.

CUNhINS OFFERS
TAX AMENDMENT
1t Provides for Graduated
Levy on All Incomes
Over $4,000.

After several conferences with West
ern Republicans, Senator Cummins Of
Iowa today introduced an amendment
to the tariff bill providing for an income
tax which he believes viii meet the
constitutional objections raised by the
Supreme Court against the law of 1894.
Mr. Cummins amendment eXempts
incomes below 5000, and authorizes the
deduction Of that amount from every
dutiable income. The rate provided for
is: On incomes not exceeding $4,000. 2
per cent; not exceeding 100000. 2iz per
cent; $4,000, 3 per cent; $4,000. 81 per
cent; $4,000. 4 per cent; $4,000 per
cent. and upon 'au incomes exceeding
the latter amount. per cent.
Mr.. Cummins, in presenting his
amendment in the Senate today. stated
that he believed the graduated tax sug-
gested in il would procure somewhat
less revenue than fat tax of per
cent, as proposed in the income tax
amendment introduced by Senator
Bailey. He was of the opinion, how
ever, that his amendment would pro-
duce a revenue of about S40.000.000.
Another point Of difference" Mr..
Gummips said. in comparing his amend
ment with the law Of 1894 and the
amendment offered by Senator Bailey,
lis that the duty is TO be levied only
upon individual incomes. Corporations
are treated as mere Observation-Disclosures
for individual profit, and the chief rea-
son for not including corporations is
that to put tax upon the income Of
corporations Is TO tax those who are
stockholders"
Those Senators who favor an income
tax had their attention directed today
10 the reports. seemingly authentic.
that the President has definitely aligned
himself with Senator Aldrich against
such measure at this time Mr. Taft
takes the ground that such a tax is
not necessary now 1t is expected his
attitude will have the effect OF weak
ening Republican support Of the amend
ment.
On the other hand. some of the West
ern Republicans say that they are sup
porting and will support IL regardless
OF the White House attitude. concern
ing which they say they are not Off
cially advised.

tention was that the one bond
should hold good for it had in the
body of it that the person so bond
ed should appear and abide the
further order of the court. Judge
Martin held that the bond was not
responsible for the appearance Of
Shuman in ths second indictment.
That the defendant must needs
to be arrested again and give new
bond, for his bondsmen tO be held
with the responsibility of his re-
turn. There is the rub, Shuman
is gone and cannot be apprehend
ed, and the chances are that he
will remain gone.
The case of Chris Holl vs. The
Logan Brick & Supply Go was
heard and the attachment was de.
solved. This case grew out of the
fact that Chris Holl had a claim
against The Logan Brick ~ Supply
Co., which is nothing else than
the Kerlin Bros, under another
name, and went into the court and
, upon affidavit to the clerk obtained
an attachment on some 5000, 900
of brick tC satisfy the claim. Up.
on the hearing of the case the
court, as above stated, desolyed
the attachment because of other

preferred creditor must be salts

sentenced Stultz to the Ohio Peni-

The important case that was
awaited with the most interest
was Of the courts decision in the

Martin un the bench. lie had
previously announced that he was
going to devote that day to the
cleaning of the docket for the next
term of court which convenes on
the 9Th. day of April, and that Is
not very far distant.
The first matter taken up by the
court was the assignment of the
cases that would be carried over
into the next term of court, and
the dates of the many eases con-
tinued were fixed as follows:
State Of Ohio vs Steven Bowen,
shooting with intent to kill, set
down for April II; Barthlow vs.

The court then opened up the
Shuman case. One Herman Shu.
man had been arrested in Logan
for operating a store temporarily
without taking out license. He
was bound over to court from the
Mayors court and gave bond to
appear and his attorney Mr., Rick

was indicated by the grand jury
and appeared by his attorney, and
the Indictment was nullled because

to the court was the proper place
to try the case. The complaint
was that Mrs Charley Mccarthy
las a farm east of Logan past
which flows the Hooking River,
into which river near her home,
the Village of Logan had the i'm
pudence to empty its sewer system
Thus the plaintiff complained that
the odor therefrom was, in the hot
season, very offensive, and she
prayed that the village be enioin-
ed from the farther use of the
river for sewerage purposes and
that she he paid damages for the
last four years in the sum of SlO,-
O0O The court on Thursday of
last week handed down his de.
cision in the case, having had the
matter before him for some weeks
and he desolyed the injunction
and granted Mrs. MCCARTHY the
sum of $500 damages for the four
years complained Of. In render
ing decision Judge Martin said
that the testimony of the many
witnesses was conflicting, and
that he believed that the evidence
of the Voris family was perhaps
the most acurate of any that was
given, and that working in garden-
ing close to the Mccarthy farm
during all the summer season
would qualify them as good wit
nesses in the case. That their
evidence was that at times in the
hot season the sewer was offensive,
but that much of the time there
was no perceptable odor. The
court said that he had no doubt
that there were times in the ex-
tremely hot weather and the river
low that there might be offensive

cinity of the outlet of the sewer,
and that fer this injury the plaintiff
should have some damages, but

ably damaged, and therefore could
not epjoin the village from the use
of the river for the outlet OF
their sewer system.
The decision was victory for
the village OF Logan, for the
granting of a permanent ipjunc-
tion against the empting of the
sewers into the river would have
entailed the building of a sewer
age plant here at cost of 800, 900
which would have bankrupt the
town,
The matter of the paying of the
sum of 5000 and the cost of the
case, is light to what we might
have been up against. 1t is not
vet determined whether the case
will be carried up or not.
Argument was had for new
trial In the Newshang case against
the Village Of Logan, where New
shang had gotten verdict OF $70C
damages for injuries received in
driving into u mortar box standing
in the street. 1t was pleaded to
| the court that the verdict was
unreasonable, and should be set
aside. The court said he would
tx the damages at $3.50 If the
parties could agree, but if nor, the
case may he carried up to higher
courts.
