with him on the ride preceding the
massacre in the morning of the day it
happened.
THE Sioux Indians had been terri

great many because the government
had opened up some of their reserva-
ton for settlement. More particular
ly they We're angry because the gov
eminent had granted the Northern
Pacific railway a right-of-way across
some of their best hunting grounds.
Finally, since their depredations in
creased instead of decreased, the gov
decided to take measures to
put them down. Three expeditions

Bull and Red Cloud. Gen. Custer
was in command of a regiment of
cavalry in the division under the
command of Gen. Terry.
THE three divisions camped on the

permeating the atmosphere.
Spread onions in the alleys, on the

DIR. Walker said onions were particular

statement before the onions We're used

Counsel for the railroad company
deny the contentious of the govern

THOUSANDS INVOLVED
IN COURTS DECISION
Right to Tax Corporations Un-
der Certain Conditions
Comes Up January 6.

The governments right to impose a
tax upon corporations that have leased
| their properties, denied in a lower court,
will be argued in the Supreme Court jan
| uary 6, when the cause Of the Minehill
and Schuylkill Haven Railway Company
| against the collector of internal revenue
at Philadelphia will be heard on appeal.
The Supreme Court has held that the
corporation tax is imposed upon the do
ing of corporate business. The point in
volved in this case is whether corpora
tions which have leased their properties
are really doing business.
The corporation, in this instance. sued
to recover 5000. the amount of the tax
imposed. This 100000 corporation. by
authority of the Pennsylvania legislature,
+ and Reading Railway Company at an
annual rental of $4,000.
Hundreds of Thousands at Stake.
The ISSUE if finally decided against the
government, will involve the loss of many
hundred thousand dollars in revenues.
There are thousands of corporations
which have leased their properties and
| which will be affected by the decision.
In brief filed with the Supreme
Court Solicitor General Bullitt says:
That the shareholders of the Mine
hill company are enjoying the ad
vantages of corporate business-and if
they are enjoying any advantages
| thereby. that constitutes doing of
business within the meaning of the
statutes found when we consider
that although the Reading company
pays all the taxes on, the property
leased and on the business done over
the road, yet the Minehill company is
paying about $4,000 to 100000 yearly
in taxes for the privilege of maintain
ing it's corporate existence
This is eminently a practical age,
and we must recognize things az they
are If lot of shareholders are will
ing to pay $4,000 a year in taxes
rather than surrender their corporate
franchise. we may well conclude that
the corporation must be doing some
thing or else they would quickly dis
solve and save that large sum in
taxes"
