Trenton. y. j., Jan. 17.-Devoid
of much of the pomp and show which
have marked such ceremonies in past
years, the Inauguration of DR.. Wood
row Wilson as governor of New
Jersey today was characterized by
democratic simplicity. There was no

formal taking of the oath, delivery
of the inaugural address in Taylor's
opera house, a luncheon at the Hotel
Stirling and reception to the
public at the state house

dress was largely a repetition OF
the principles of real democracy"
which he eXpounded during the cam
paign. Democratic leaders from all
over the state attended the ceremony
and informally banded themselves
together in a Wilson for president
committee. 1t is understood that
from now on the friends and ad
mirers of the new governor will bend
every energy toward securing for
DR.. Wilson the democratic presiden
tial nomination in 1912.

SURANCE BILL INTRODUCED.
to Prevent Combinations Be-
tween Companies.

h"SSb SO'hPo'lSS'
A bill which will be of particular
interest to insurance men over the
state was introduced in the Oklahoma
legislature Monday by Senator H. j.
Denton. 1t is intended to prevent COM
binations between fire insurance COM
panies in regard to the manner of
transacting business, and to prevent
discrimination against domestic com.
panies.
The first section of the bill makes
it unlawful for two or more COM
panies to enter into any combination
or agreement in regard to rates,
charges, commissions to be allowed to
agents, or the manner of transact
company shall discriminate against
any domestic company. On complaint
of any person interested, the insur-
ance commissioner is allowed to sum-
mon the officers or agents of any
company for an examination under
odlH III lVSdlu W outD dlltStu tOlh-
bination or discrimination, and if he
finds the charges sustained, or if any
officer fails to appear, the commits
sioner may forthwith cancel the H.
censes of the company. Either party
is given the right to appeal from the
decision of the insurance commissioner
to the district court.
The bill is understood to have the
backing of the domestic fire insur-
ance companies of the state. Sen
ator Denton stated that it was not
necessarily intended to prevent the
operation of rating bureaus by the in
surance companies.
Senator Denton also stated that he
expected to introduce a bill embody-
ing the provision of the Texas law
which requires life insurance COM
panies to invest q certain percentage
of their reserve in Oklahoma real
estate or securities.
"A Dill Introduced MOHudy ny oell-
ator Goulding of Enid is intended to
establish a system of reciprocity in
relation to states which discriminate
against Oklahoma corporations. 1t
provides that wherever the state law
of any other state establishes dis
elimination against foreign corpora
tions which would apply to Oklahoma
companies entering that state for
business, the same sort of discrim-
ination shall apply to companies from
that state which wish to transact busi-
ness in observation-disclosures.

Kiel, Germany, Jan. 1.-THE Ger.

The submarine salvage ship Vulcan,

q considerable faction of the nations
democratic leaders, who met in Bal

memory of Andrew Jackson In that
city where ne was first nominated
for president. Little was heard about

early stages of today's jollification.
he being, as a Tammany statesman
expressed it, "a Stiff" but much
was heard of Harmon, Woodrow Will
son, Gaynor, Folk, Francis and other
leading democrats who are looked
upon as candidates for the presiden.
tial nomination before next years
democratic national convention.
All sections of the country and
their favorite sons are represented
here today, but early indications
are that it will be a Harmon and
harmony" day. Those who realize
the value of a soul-stirring slogan
with alterations artful aid, admit
that the Ohio governor has a de-
cided advantage in the race. Unless
all signs fail-and there is nothing
so dry" about Baltimore today that
signs should fall-Governor Harmon
is the favorite of the Marylanders
and is looked upon as the guest of
honor. 1t is more than probable
that the POSTMASTER at tonight's
banquet will take advantage of the
occasion, when presenting the gov
ernor of Ohio, to formally announce,
in a few well chosen words, that
Mr.. Harmon has a lightning rod up
and is likely to be struck by the
presidential lightning Then-unless
all signs fail again-the diners will
give way to wild enthusiasm, and
the Harmon and harmony" boom
will be well on its way. Thus it
may come to pass that two of the
Buckeye states favorite sons-the
other being Mr.. Taft-may next year
be pitted against each other in the
presidential stakes. Mr. Bryan is
not here today, but sent a letter
announcing his continued allegiance
to the platform of 1908.

NEW YORK SENATORIAL FIGHT.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE remain
der of the big factors in the state
democratic party who are to take
part in the big fight tomorrow, will
leave here tonight to be on the
scene of battle tomorrow, which is
the date set for the election of a
man to succeed United States Sen
ator Chauncey NJ. Depew.
The friends of Edward M. Shep-
ard who felt very confident of his
election as recently as ten days ago,
are exceedingly nervous, for as the
time of battle has drawn near Mr..
Shepard's chances have lessened.
William Sheehan has the support of
the upstate men and Judge Alton
b. Parker, who once ran for presi-
dent of the United States on the
democratic ticket, has friends work

means that the man he wants will
be elected. He is said to favor Jus.

QUESTION LEGALITY OF COR.
PORATlON TAX IN COURT.
MANY SIMILAR SUITS FILED
Supreme Court Must Rule on Consti-
tutionaity of the Corporation Tax.
All Lower Courts Upheld Tax and
Passed Matter Up to Supreme Court

Washington, Jan. IA woman be
of the corporation tax imposed by pro-
visions of the Payne-Aldrich tariff act
of 1909.
Even before the time, when the law
went into effect, Stella p. Flint, as
general guardian of the property Of
Samuel n. Stone, Jr, minor and
owner of stock in the Stone Tracy
Company, doing a general merchan-
disc business at Windsor VT, start
ed proceedings to test the constitu-
tionality of the law. She protested
against the Stone-Tracy company
making the return and paying the tax,
because, she claimed, that the law
was unconstitutional. The circuit
court of the United States for the dis
trict OF Vermont could not take that
view of the law, and hence directed
that her petition be dismissed. She
appealed to the Supreme court.
The course pursued in the Yer
mont case was followed in seventeen
other suits brought in almost as many
circuit courts. In all, the law was up
held, but with out extended consid-
Grafton. The theory was that the Su-
preme court would conduct an inves-
tigation into the constilutionality or
the law, and that the conclusions OF
the lower court would aid but little,
while it would delay the final deter
mination.
The major part Of these cases were
argued before the Supreme court last
March, but all were restored to the
docket for reargument before a full
bench.
The legal contest is centered large
ly over the consideration OF a few
words in the extended provisions, re-
lating TO the tax. The words are
these:
