A question as to the validity of a
marriage which took place recently In
Colombo, Ceylon. has arisen. The
bride and bridegroom played a rather
unusual practical joke at the cere-
mony, for the former dressed up as
the bridegroom and the latter mas
querated in the woman's clothes, and
the ceremony was quite through be-
fore the two people concerned were
identified.

The law provides two general
methods of taxing the property of
corporations in Minnesota, the
general property tax and the gross
earnings tax. The property of
corporations engaged in manu-
featuring and business enterprises,
and the property of certain public
utility corporations. such as tele-
graph and sleeping car companies,
and water, gas and electric light
companies, is assessed and taxed on
the the ad valorem basis the same
as like property of individuals.
Railroad and freight line companies,
and express and telephone COM
panies pay certain specified
amount of their gross earnings in
, lieu of all other taxes. Insurance
companies pay two per cent of their
gross premiums
The first departure from the
general property tax as the sole
system of taxation was made before
the territory was organized as a
state. In 1887 the territorial legis-
lature granted a charter to St. Paul
and Pacific Railroad Company, now
part of the Great Northern sys-
tenn, which provided that, in con-
sideration of the grants and privi-
leges contained, the company
should pay into the treasury of the
territory or future state, three per
cent of its gross earnings in lieu of
all other taxes and assessments. A
number of other railroad charters
were granted in that year carrying
the three per cent gross earnings
provision.
Prior to 1871 the rate of the gross
earnings tax was fixed by the leg
islature. In that year a constitu-
tional amendment was adopted
which provided that any change in
the taxation of the gross earnings
of railroad companies, either in rate
or method, must be submitted to
the people for their approval.
In 1908 the legislature proposed
an increase of the gross earnings
rate of railroads from three to four
per cent. The increase was ratified
by the people in the general election
of 1904 and became effective in

the ancient doctors prescribed.
For dog bite, a mouthful of the
hair of the doggy For certain in

swallowed whole. For other dis
orders, fayed dog or cat applied
to the patients back. For fevers
and for nearly every other malady
the doctors usually bled patient.
