GRADUATED TAX is
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Act, However, Declared to Be Contrary
in Its Provisions to Federal
Constitution.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. 13.-OkIahoma' s
graduated land tax is in violation of
the state constitution, but not viola
tive of the federal constitution. This
is the opinion today of Federal Judge
John H. Cotteral in the case of George
w. Gale of Illinois, a nonresident land
owner, who sought to enjoin the certi-
fication by the state auditor of Okla
homa of the graduated land tax in ex-
cess of $4,000 to the clerks of the var
ioIs counties. The state demurred to
Gales petition.
The demurrer is overruled by Judge
Cotteral and a perpetual injunction is
awarded against the certifcation OF
the taxes in controversy. Judge Cot
teral held the tax law in violation of
Section 20 of the state constitution
which section provides that the legis.
lature can not impose taxes for the
purposes of any county, town or other
municipal corporation, but can confer
the power upon the proper authorities
thereof The graduated land tax law
on the contrary, provides for the distri
button of the tax ratably to the state
and lesser subdivisions.
Another case, that of J. S. Joins and
Others of Carter county, wherein the
cOnstitutionality of the land tax is at
tackled, is also settled by this decision

CHINESE EMPIRE THREATENED
BY SERIOUS REVOLUTION

Hankow, Oct l3.-The revolution
which has been hanging over China for
months, and of which the rising in the
Province of SEE Chuen was only a
small part, has begun in earnest. 1t
is a concerted movement to take the
empire and declare republic.
The exiled revolutionist, DR.. Sun Vat
Sen, leader of the anti-Manchu party, is
to be elected president if the plans do
not miscarry. He was the delegate of
the revolutionary party to the United
States in 1910, and it is believed dur
ing that tour be made arrangements
for financing the movement.

Sen, who is Hankow, has been elect
ed president of the Provincial Assem-
bly,, and Tang Hua Lung, the retiring
president of the assembly, has been
elected governor of Hu-Peh.
The whole assembly has seeded
from the imperial government. The
rebels are well organized and finan-
cially strong. They have confiscated
the treasures and banks and are issu-
ing their own paper money redeeming
the government notes with this, as for
eign banks are refusing government
notes.
The recolutionaries have captured
Wu-Chang, the native section of Han
kow, and Han-Yang, adjoining cities in
Hu-Peh Province.

ported to have risen in revolt and Nan
King, capital of the Province of Kiang-
Su, is on the verge of a rising, several
public buildings have been destroyed
Thousands of soldiers have Joined
the mutiny in Hu-Peh, many Manchus
have been killed and the terrified peo,
pie are fleeing from the cities into the
country, carrying their belongings.
The prisons have been opened and
criminals liberated. There has been
! fighting in the streets, but the most
stringent orders have been issued that
the lives of foreigners and their prop
erty shall be respected.

missionaries there. returned with al

BLACK HAND MEN
STAY A MEMBER
The Police Are Working on Accident
Theory-Treachery Is Also Sug-
qested

Chicago, March IL The Black Hand
society Of Chicago il believed by the
police, who are working on the latest
outrage in the north side Italian settle
ment, to have played il CHASTITY joke on
itself in the murder OF Phillippi Manis,
calsco, who, with Antony Dugo, was as
sassinated Tuesday night
Maniscalsco il believed by the authori-
ties to have been member Of the
Black Hand. According 70 the theory
ON which they are now working, he and
his nephew, Lorenzo Maniscalsco, had
been deputized to lure Dugo, who had
refused to pay blackmail, to the place
where he was slain. One OF the bullets
aimed at Dugo went wild and killed
MauiscaIsco.
The theory fits in with all the facts
the police now have. II it fails later
on, they have anotherthat is, that
there was treachery inside the Black
Hand itself, and that Maniscalsco was
murdered as result Of that treachery,
The police have not yet run down the
mmderers but they have succeeded in
discovering the bullets with which the
deed was done. These are two slugs
quarters of an inch in diameter
and weighing nearly an ounce each.

gest convention Of the year in Yer

ing that they will want to come again,

That there is splendid opportunity for
d civic organization to advance q towns
interests is shown by the work OF the
commercial club which was formed in
st. Johnsbury only year ago. Among
the material betterment which the club
secured for the town was the Pillsbmy
& Baldwin manufacturing company en-
ploying a large number OF workmen.
But material betterments do not consti-
tute the sum total OF an organizations
benefit to a community; there is another
benefit in the development Of a new
civic spirit among the citizens OF a com
munty, provided the organization does
it's work well Such a spirit seems to
have been one OF the gains which the
commercial club has brought to St.
Johnsbury, for The Caledonian OF that
town declares that there has not been
time in years when the business inter
ests of the town were so harmonious or
when they had broader view of their
possibilities or were more willing to
work for the general advancement of the
place. 1t has developed civic entity
which develops civic pride, purpose and
accomplishment and in this respect it
has accomplished a great benefit for the
village
Therein we have the picture OF what
ought to be the result of every move
ment to organize the citizens Of city
village or town Latterly, many Yer
mont communities have tried the expert
ment Of forming local boosting clubs,
only under different names, and doubt
less some Of them have resulted in inn
proyement, much as the commercial club
Of st. Johnsbury has done. On the other
hand there are organizations which have
missed their purpose entirely and which
have petered out after few ftful strug-
giles. To such as these latter organiza-
tions, the st. Johnsbury success should
be pointed out as a measure Of the pos
sbilities Of all, if the right kind Of spirit
enters into the organization. And to all
organizations OF this sort, the above
mentioned commercial club can be point
ed out as good example. More like it
would mean great deal Of progress
to Vermont.
