SUPREME COURT
TO DECIDE

The supreme court OF the United
States will be asked to pass upon
the constitutionality OF tho double
taxation OF automobiles as enforced
by many states II was as = result
Of the growing inclination on the
part OF many states to Increase the
registration tax. while al the same
time taxing automobiles as personal
property, and thus compelling mo
florists to pay an unjust proportion
of road construction and mainte-
nance money, that this action was
taken.
From time 10 time there have &C.
cumulated protests from automobil-
lists in various parts OF tho country
against holding them mainly respon-
slble because n greater use of the
highways has made necessary i'm.
proved construction and systematic
maintenance. II Is the contention
OF the motor-vehicle user that the
cost OF greater facility In road com
munication. with the consequent
saving in the transport OF merchan.
disc and farm products. should be
distributed generally. for all inter.
ests benefit In one way or another
az result OF highway progress.
Tho case, which will be carried
10 the highest court In tho land. has
been adversely passed upon by the
New Jersey courts. and II involves
both the question OF double taxation
and discrimination against one class
OF road users.

OF BANKS CHARTER
 UP TO COURT

Hartford, July 13-No decision was given by Judge Joseph P. Futile in the superior court today on the appli- cation made by Bank Commissioners Holt and Lippitt for the appointment of a receiver for the Wdndham County Savings Bank in Danielson, but before the hearing an agreement was entered into withdraSUing the banks plea in abatenent and the demurrer to the plea. The banks lawyers icontended for g. more specific statement as to what the commissioners mean by al- 1eging that the public Is in danger of being defrauded. The commissioners ask for the sforfeiture of the bank s mess. ~
 Without Indicating how he would de- eide the latter Judge Futile expressed himself as not in sympathy with the proposition that two public officials should have the officers of an insti- tuition into court asking. for a. receiver and the forfeiture of a charter with out giving the facts upon which the application is based. It is possible that the judge may order a more spe- cif1c statement.
 The bank commissioners say the as- sets of the bank are about $3O,0O0 less than its liabilities. No irregularities on the part of any of it's officials is suggested. The bank has been under injunction from paying deposits since Aug. 6, 1912. This injunction expires October {.
