day he contributed to the Journal de

he used to give the peasants. Writing
of the Journal Oficiel. posted up on
the wall of the marie and which no
one ever reads. he said:
II had forgotten the goats. One of
them never misses number. Standing
on its hind legs. with its front legs
resting on the poster. it moves it's
horns and beard from right to left.
like an old woman reading. When it
has finished reading. as the official
sheet has an appetizing smell of fresh
paste, the goat eats it. After nourish-
ing the mind one must feed the body.
Thus nothing is lost in the commune.
What a pity that all novel readers
have not the stomach of this practical
goat, They might then eat the books
they had read. buy more. and so the
man Of letters would iD the end be
able to eat in his rurn."-Paris Letter

to be collected as it was estimated the

hard matter to collect the other $50.
Though all the big insurgents refused to
address the meeting. the aggregation will
not lack for an outsider. Attorney Gen

Kansas Charter
Fee Act is Held
Unconstitutional
Divided Supreme Court Sets Aside
Law Taxing Corporations Doing
Business in State.

WASHINGTON Jan. 1S.-The Bush"
act of the state OF Kansas, which sought
to compel outside corporations to pay
charter fee for the benefit of the state
schools as a condition of doing business
in that state, is held invalid by the supreme
court Of the United States by a decision
by the divided court announced today. The
controlling opinion is by Justice Harlan,
with concurring opinion by Justice White,
but three Justices dissent. Chief Justice
Fuller and Associate justices Holmes and
MeKenna.
The case was that of the Western Union
Telegraph company, plaintiff in error,
against the state of Kansas on the re-
lation of C. c. Coleman. attorney general
The Western Union has fought the law on
the grounds OF acquired rights and that
the law was unconstitutional as seeking to
impose burden upon interstate commerce.
Interpreting his opinion Justice Harlan
said that it was held that ''the statutory
requirement of a given per cent of the
authorized capital Of a telegraph company,
which represented all IT'S business. inter-
ests and property inside and out of the
state, was i'm its practical operation a
burden on Interstate commerce and tax
on property beyond the limits OF Kansas.
The right of the telegraph company to
continue the transaction OF local business
In Kansas could not be made TO depend
on its submission to a condition prescribed
10 that state which was hostile both to
the letter and spirit OF the constitution"
In the dissenting opinion Justice Holmes
declared that the state had not undertaken
to tax the Western Union. but simply had
fixed the condition on which the company
could transact state business within the
state.
THE whole matter Is left in the Western
Unions hands" he said. III the license
fee Is more than the local business Will
bear It can stop that business and avoid
the fee"
Justice White concurred In the finding Of
the majority, but for different reasons.
and read an opinion outlining his views.
