RIGHT TO TAX
! NATIONAL BANK STOCK
| IS FINALLY UPHELD
Decision Of U. S. Supreme
Court Averts Possibility of
: Suits for $40, ooo,o 900.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2.-Thc United
States supreme Court to-day upheld the
fisht Of the Tax Commissioners Of New
York to tax national bank stock on a
parity with State bank. savings bank
and trust company stock. The liuga-
ton has been under way since 1908. when
the Amoskeag Savings Bank of Man
chester, ". H.. as the owner of stock
In the american Exchange and Chemi-
cal National Banks OF New York. ap-
peaied from the action of the Tax Com
missloners OF New York City on the
ground that the State law confi1cted
with the Federal statute.
Justice -Pitney. for the Supreme
Court. announced It's opinion that there
~as no such conflict.
Deelsion Saves Suits InvolvinG
y Over e4O.0OO,OOO.
sThe present case began I'm 1904 when
~ Amoskeag Savings Bank began suit
the recovery OF a tax OF 1 per cent.
u ied on 100 shares Of American Ex-
1u8v ana sixty endTeS OK SnefnlCai
tional stock. The savings bank
mplained that since the National
Ink act Of 1853 provided that ma
Qbnaf hank stock should mot be taxed
pro than any other moneyed capital
the hands of individual citizens II
ould be allowed to charge Indebted
4 10 against tho stoch 4 he'd. Since
savings had debts to balance all
resources this would have freed Il
Dom tax entirely.
fThs city contended that :se act of
QS3 was intended only to prevent dis
Summation against national banks In
Nvor OF other banks. and that " had q
Heht to tax all bank stocks on a
ENrity. Thi, contention won IN every
seurt. and was the basis OF yester-
Ny's decision.

The Men to Blame
BY Beatrice Fa01ax

.H
This is proof enough that of all these
so-called manly men Who stood in line
there was not one who is really manly.
The men talk Indignantly of the inn
modesty Of the women on the streets
today. 1t is they who are to blame. Let
them pay al their attention to the gir'
who neither powders nor paints. who
dresses warmly on q cold day, and
never sacrifices her health and life that
she may show an ankle in a silk stock
ing or her bare throat or arm. Let
them give their admiration and their
love to the sort of a girl they want
their sisters to be-sane, modest and
sensible--and the overdressed (Which
really means underdressed) girl will
vanish from the streets as quickly as
if high wind had blown her away.
Brown Eyes makes a complaint that
is both overdue and just. She is -the
dear. old fashioned kind Of a girl who
makes h-o-m-e spell happiness for the
man she malries and every day sees
more and more Of her kind rclegated
to the ranks OF the old maids.
There is comfort for her in this
thought in her loneliness: 1t is better
to be without admiration than to re-
ceive it from those who admire only
that which is tawdTy and cheap.

and gray hair that had need cutting some
time ago. The eyes were concealed be-
hind glasses SO heavy and thick that they
reminded one of the horn spectacles of
the ribetan lamasseres The hair stood
out like a ruff under the brim Of an old
black SLOUGH hat. He wore an army over
coat with the military cape, and these,
with as much OF his trousers as showed
beneath, had apparently never known the
pressing iron since they had left the
tailor's hands. Very heavy and ill shapen
shoes and heavy ver-headed cane,
with which he constantly gesticulated,
completed the grotesque appartion.
Howell was the first TO find his voice
after the scarecrow had dumped into the
general range of vision.

The thick glasses were levelled at him
like the twin searchlights of man Of
