RAILWAY IS FIGHTING
NEW TAXATION STATUTE

Three federal judges sat in the
United States district court here,
Tuesday, hearing the case OF the De-
troit, Grand Haven a Milwaukee rail-
road against the auditor general and
attorney general TO enjoin them from
enforcing a tax law passed In 1911.
Judge Denison, OF Cincinnati, presid-
ed and with him sat Judge Clarence
w. Sessions, OF Grand Rapids, and
Judge John NJ. Killits, OF Toledo.
The d., G.. III. & NJ. Is the only rail-
road in Michigan operating under a
special charter, and counsel Tor the
railroad argued that as the law OF
1911 was operative only against rail-
reads working under special char
ter II was clearly case OF class legis-
lation. Further II was argued In be-
hal OF the railway that the law, II
enorced, would impair the obligation
OF contract between the road and It's
security holders as II would require
payments TO be made for taxes that
the security holders clearly under
stood would not have TO be paid. An
other point made for the railways was
that most OF the bonds upon which
the tax would rest are held outside
the state and that the state cannot tax
property outside it's jurisdiction.
Under its special charter OF lSbb
the railroad pays one per cent tax
on It's paid-in capital stock In lieu OF
all other taxes, and counsel for the
railroad declared, that both the Mich
lgan and the United States supreme
courts had ruled that this special
charter was contract. The law OF
1911, the enforcement OF which 1t IL
sought to have enjoined, imposes a
two per cent tax on the par value OF
issued and outstanding stocks OF rail-
roads operating under a special char
ter, and one per cent on their bonds
and permanent Indebtedness.
Attorneys l.. c. Stanley, Harrison
Geer and Harold Martin presented the
case for the railroad, and Assistant
Attorney-General Edward w. Waer
and Assistant Attorney-General Nc
Gill appeared for the state.

OUR NEXT GREAT WAR
WILL BE WITH JAPAN
HUDSON MAXIM.

Americas next great war will be
with japan. according to Hudson
Maxim, the great authority on explo-
sives, who with Mrs Maxim is guest
during Cadillaqua week Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frederick f. Wadsworth in
Crosse Pointe Farms. Mr.. Maxim Is
consulting engineer for the DUPONT
de Nemours Powder Co
The Japanese, he said, will never
be reconclled to the discrimination
that the United States is showing
against immigration from the Orient,
and will demand that l.. cease as soon
as she feels strong enough to enforce
her wishes. At the present rate OF
progress Mr.. Maxim believes that In
five years japan will be our equal on
the seas. He says she could take the
Philippines from America now II she
wanted to, but prefers TO wait and let
the United States go on developing
them.
I'VE are not now prepared or pre-
pairing" said Mr.. Maxim, referring TO
a Japanese war I'VE should be build
ing four battleships each year instead
OF one, and we should have a fleet OF
GOLFERS on the Pacific.
Nothing can stop Japan unless II
would be a tremendous increase in our
naval power-an increase that would
insure absolute dominance OF the Pa
ciflc. And when the struggle for mas
terry of the Pacific comes, II will be a
matter of couple OF hours and it will
be all over.

RACE FOR SUPREMACY
ON SEA Anglers BRITONS

LONDON, July 23.-Lord Of the Ad-
mlralty Winston Churchill's admission
IL parliament that the speeding up OF
warship building in England Is neces-
sary because of the rapidity with
which the kaiser's feet will grow I'M
der the new German navy law, Is re-
sponsible for deep misgivings through
cut Great Britain today.
The general view Is that the race
between England and Germany for SUI
premacy at sea has got to stop. Re
gardless OF what Germany can do,
England can bear the increasing cost
OF its armament no longer. Tories
want the rivalry stopped by prompt
use of the present British navy to
demolish Germanys before II Is too
strong TO be crushed. Then England
will not have to build new ships so
fast. The Liberals favor dropping out
of the race regardless OF Teutonic ac-
tivity Members of the Labor party
talk of a combination Of English and
German workingmen to stop so much
shipbuilding in both countries.
Churchill Is at odds with his own
party, the Liberal, in his big navy
policy and many think he will split II
In pieces by his course.

LEPER EXPERT GAINS
BAY CITY PEOPLE

BAY CITY, Mich, July 2S,-After
making an examination OF Herman
Hirscnfleld, DR.. Maurice Couret, OF
New Orleans, who has charge of the
leper colony in Louisiana, and who is
one OF the foremost specialists on
leprosy in America, said the case was
probably durable and he will give
Hirschfeid antitoxin treatments.
The disease is not to be feared, as
the people seem to think here" said
Couret. In fact, there ate probably
200 lepers in Louisiana, where the
state maintains hospital for them,
but only rs of the cases are In the
hospital and no one Is required to go
unless ne so wishes. The disease Is
not contagious except In some case
where absolute carelessness Is re-
sponsibie. The danger OF contagiop
is much less than from consumption.
