Of the case In the United States su-
preme court, the company IN the
meantime has not been idle in a

been pending IN the courts OF Texas
and In the United States supreme
court, the COMPANY gross receipts
IN Texas has been approximately So
600, 900, and the company has not
paid a cent OF taxes during that
time, consequently is now indebted
10 the state of Texas to the tune of
@60,O00. This money will have to
be paid by the receiver, either the
state receiver, Robert j. Eckhardt,
when he takes charge or by the
federal receiver, c. B. Dorchester
This litigation was commenced In
May, 1907, and the company's gross
receipts from April j 1907, to Oc-
tober / 1908, amounted 10 81 ,600,-

ginning January J. 1903, which is

THE country is again in the throes
of tariff legislation. The writer re-
members the humorous critiscism di-
rected AT General Hancock during the
Gariield-Ilancock campaign of 1850
because of his letter in which the
democratic candidate referred to the
tariff as "a local issue And condi-
tions i'm that respect do not seem To
have changed in twenty nine years.
The tariff now appears to have devcl-
oped into series Of local issues. This
thought is based on the reception
which the tariff bill introduced by
Representative Payne in congress a
few days ago is meeting in the differ
ent sections If the country. The iron
and steel men Of PENNSYLVANIA, Ala
bama and elsewhere don't like the
proposed reductions OF import duties
on their commodities, and this ire
spective of their party Affiliations.
The protest against the reduction of
sugar duties is equally as loud from
the democratic cane growers of Louis
lana as from the republican beet
raisers Of Nebraska and other north
ern states Press dispatches inform
us that thousands OF protests from
western stockmen and farmers against
free hides and reduced gram duties
are on their way TO Washington. The
members from Maine assure congress
that free wood-pulp viii SEMI that

Hancock was right when lie said that
