. While making his usual round among customers this week, an ARGUS representative had occas- ion to visit the Grant Lumber Co.,, retail lumber dealers, situ- ated at the foot of Cypress St., just across the Cotton Belt track. After passing the usual courte- sies with Messrs. Don and James Grant, he causually inquired as to how business was The reply was a most encouraging one. the sum and substance of which was that they were being greatly rushed to supply the increasing trade.
 During the past week this companyth has sold bills of lumber for five residences, one to be built in town, three in the country ad- jacent to Brinkley. and one out of town. Small orders which are many areinot counted.

FEAR RESULT OF TRUST SUITS

the same. Since the dissolution of

IF you commence proceedings

The Mexican rebellion curtailed the

PACKERS At MERCY or lands
CHICAGO JUDGE HAS POWER TO
JAIL BEEF MEN.
Dissolution Of Trust Must be Com.
pIete or Quick Action for Con-
tempt VIII Follow.

Washington, July 27.--Judge Kene
saw Mountain Lands of the fedora
district court In Chicago, who inn
posed the $29,00O,0O0 fine on thC
Standard Oil company, now is the
official keeper of the beef trust. II he
becomes convinced that the packers
are conspiring to extort high prices
for meats from consumers he can
send the beef trust officials to Jail for
contempt.
That is the result Of the dissolution
of the National Packing company
which was approved by Attorney
General Wickersham. If they misbe-
have they can be cited at any time
before Judge Landis for contempt on
charge of violating the Grosscup in
junction of 1902.
District Attorney Wilkerson and
Ralph Crews, attorney for the pack
ers, had a protracted conference on
the dissolution question with the at
torney general Crews submitted a
memorandum showing the apportion-
ment of the $6O,O00,OOO properties OF
the National to Armour, Swift and
Morris.
The packers and trust men in gen.
eral are afraid of Lands. They have
reason to believe that he would not
hesitate to send them to Jail for viola
ton of the Injunction In fact, the dis
solution of the National was FASTENED
by the realization Of the packers that
they are at the mercy of Landis. They
are eager to convince the government
that they intend to obey the Law in
the future. Moreover, defending
trust prosecutions is expensive, The
recent trial Of the packers cost them

TAX ACT

Provides for Payment Of One Per Cent
on Amounts Over $4,000.
FRATERNAl ORDERS EXCEPTED
Tax Not to Apply to Labor oroanIxa-
tluns-Pian to Check Tobacco
Monopoly, Offered BY Hitch
cock, Was Defeated.

Washington, July 27.--After weight
Ing II down with two amendments
known to be Objectionable to the Dem,
ocrats, the senate passed the house
special excise tax bill by vote OF
| 81 to IS. The measure provides for q
tax OF per cent on incomes OF $4,000
year or more, both OF individuals
and corporations.
The amendments provide for re-
peal Of the Canadian reciprocity act
and the creation OF a tariff commits
sion. The first was offered by
Senator Bronna Of North Dakota and
the latter by Senator Cummins Of
Iowa. Cummins' amendment was the
same as that lost when the Penrose
substitute wool bill was turned down
In favor Of the La Toilette measure.
Might be Unconstitutional.
The Democratic majority stood, al
most solidly against any change in the
house bill that would threaten its sue
cess. They declared the tax on busi-
ness" was Clearly constitutional,
while an income tax law had once.
been held unconstitutional by the SUI
preme court and might again suffer
that fate, until the states ratify the
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton.
The measure was changed from the
original house bill only in minor par
ticulars except for the addition of the
Canadian reciprocity repeal, and the
permanent tariff commission pro-
vision 1t will go back to the house
for the approval of that body and it is
believed an agreement soon will be
reached, so that a perfected measure |
can be laid before the president for
his approval
Special Tobacco Tax Failed.
The senate made change in the
excise bill so that the tax would not
apply to labor organizations, agricuI-
tural associations or fraternal organi.
cations of an insurance character.
That amendment was offered by Sen
ator Fletcher A plan to check the to-
bacco monopoly by special excise
tax on production above certain
amount, offered by Senator Hitchcock,
was defeated
The Hitchcock proposal was spe-
cial tax ON the production of more
than 20,OO0,0OO pounds Of tobacco.
400 100000 cigars, the same number
Of cigarettes and 100000 pounds, OF
snuff by any one coTSany. For an
annual production above that quanti-
ty the tax would rise rapidly so that
it would soon become prohibitive.
Senator Hitchcock declared such
taxing system would curb a tobacco
which the government had
failed to do.
