THE THINGS THAT ARE
CAESARS.

A woman living ON an income OF
$1,000 a year recently paid out Of it
an annual tax Of s425-nearly half.
Another living on an income Of
81 200, paid s25O-one fifth.
Asiatic Russia? some may ask. No.
New York. They live in New York
City and paid these taxes there.
The first is the wife of a paralytic.
The disease impaired his mind, he be-
came incapable Of managing his affairs,
made ducks and brakes of most of his
property and finally the courts al.
judged him incompetent. A trust
compaDy-God save the mark!-took
over the remnant and invested it in
corporation 0onds. Under the New
York law these are taxable, and his
wife had to pay.
She did not know the difference be-
tween taxable and non taxible invest
ments. Few small investors do. The
trust company knew, and was guilty of
plain misfeasance for not investing her
money otherwise. But she was small
fry, and the company probably did not
waste much thought on her or her
affairs. At all events, between the
New York tax law and the trust COM
pany, she was knaved out of half her
income.
The second woman is widow whose
whole capital is invested in mortgages
on New Jersey real estate. Her law.
yer had given her q curbstone opinion
(she also being small fry that these
were not taxable, and he was wrong.
They are exempt if the holder lives in
New Jersey. but not if he lives in
New York. Ignorance again, coupled
with professional carelessness, cost that
woman one. fifth of her income.
We are told that Russian taxation
takes away all a mans
income, but as far as l know it has |
never tried to take any more. New
York taxation, however, has done Just |
that, and succeeded.

CAPITAL FIGHT TO COURT
District Judge OverruIes HaskeII's De-
murrer and Case Goes
Hiqher.

Guthrie, Okla, June 17.-Judge A.
H. Huston in the county district court
has overruled the demurrer filed by
Gov. Haskell to the petition of County
Attorney Hepburn for an injunction
preventing the removal Of the capital
from Guthrie to Oklahoma City. The
temporary Injunction issued last Mon
day was continued in force.
The court held the enabling act was
valid in imposing the condition that
the state capital should remain In
Guthrie until 1918; that the court had
jurisdiction over the person Of the
governor, and that the county attor-
ney had the power to file application
for an Injunction. The decision diff
fered from Attorney General West on
all points.
The attempt to remove the capital
to Oklahoma City will now come be-
fore the state supreme court. Attor-
ney General West will apply to the
higher court for writ Of prohibition
to set aside the orders Of the district
court.
