ANOTHER LEGAL BATTLE
THREATENS OVER TAXES

Hearing of Attorney General Thay-
ers motion to enter verdict for the
territory in the old tax suit against
John F. Colburn will take place in
Judge Cooper's division of the circuit
court Saturday morning The govern
ment won this case some weeks ago.
The original suit was for taxes
amounting to $1915.73, which Colburn
refused to pay asserting the law I'M
der which the levy was made was un-
constitutional. That was many years
ago. Court and other costs, including
interest have nearly doubled the orr
ginal amount, the present judgment
sought being for s340222.
The attorney general now says that
Colburn has failed to pay some other
taxes since 1908 and that another suit
may be instituted against him shortly.

Oriqin of Party Emblems.

WHY do political parties invariably
choose some animal or bird as their
symbols?
Why does the Republican party go
forth IL battle under the emblem OF a
swollen and handy legged elephant?
Why do the legions OF the unterrllled
Democracy use the stubborn and dy-
mamie mule as their family totem and
party emblem?
WHY was the hull moose from the
North woods chosen as the symbol OF
the newest party of national scope?
Tom Mast, for years the most Ia
nous OF American cartoonlsts, invent
cd tire first two or the three symbols
that every man woman and child in
America is now familiar with.
He invented the mule as the em-
hlem of Democracy He used it as a
means Of sneering pictorieallN at the
Democrats anG the party of Democra-

can party. He wanted an animal
symbol to typify strength. The non

the Old World to symbolic tire Brit
,sh Empire. The eagle is an American
emblem. He had already chosen The
tiger as symbolieal of TammanN. lie
finally chose the ponderous and pow
erful pachydefm of the jungle.
The adoption of the bull moose en-
blam was a spontaneous thing. In
single day hundreds of cartoonlsls
adopted the idea simultaneous. 1t is
now as well known as either OF the
older emblems
The story of its origin is briefly
told Two or three days after the
first Chicago convention Col. Roose-
