Of $l,75O,OOO,OOO;
Income Tax Higher
War Bond Issue Ordered as Com
mons Doubles Levy on
Personal Incomes.

London.-Dayid Lloyd-George, Chan
cellor OF the Exchequer, in the House
OF Commons estimated that the cost
of one year of the wal for this coun-

RUSSIANS SWEEP FORWARD
THROUGH EAST PRUSSIA

Petrograd.-In East Prussia the Rus
sian movement goes forward without
a hitch. The Masurians Lakes, which
have been the scene of much fighting
recently, at last are the prize of the
Russians.
Owing to the extraordinary terrain
here the operations must necessarily
develop slowly.
Reinforcements are being hurried
forward from that town to the from
tier. Reports tell of military activity
in this area as far north as Thorn.
1t would seem that the Germans
hope to advance with the Vistula on
one flank and the Warthe River on
the other. The country is higher than
the marshland in the interior Of Po-
land and offers better defensive posi-
tons.
The possibilities of an offensive
movement from this direction are well
known to the Russian staff. Already
operations to check it are going for
ward.
All signs point to an approaching
conflict which will be of the greatest
Importance to the German campaign
in this area
PANIC ALONG BORDER.
The Russian advance through the
centre of Poland has created panic
all along the German border, and a
tide Of refugees has set in toward Bres-
lau. In that city itself the iasco Of
the Polish invasion is a subject of
open discussion. Breslau begins to
tremble for it's WI safety.
Once across the border the name of
Cossack will spread terror equal to
that created by the approach Of a
Uhlan in Belgium. But the wholesale
invasion of this section of Germany
cannot be expected Immediately.

is due to the great demand for eggs,

Assessors Upset

to Cross-Examination Even ii
They Constitute a judicial
Body, Rules the High Court.

Especial Trenton Correspondence.
Trenton.-That the hearing in a
railroad tax case must be a real hear
Ing was declared by Justice Swayne
In an opinion for the Court of Err
rors and Appeals reversing the Su-
preme Court and setting aside assess
ments aggregating $7.385,180 levied
by the State Board of Assessors upon
railroad property of the Long Dock
Co. in Jersey City. The reversal was
directed by a vote of z to 1. Justice
Black formerly a member Of the State
Board of Taxation, alone voted to
affirm the Judgment.
The decision apparently marks a
new era in railroad taxation in New
Jersey, since it sets aside the doctrine
enunciated by the Supreme Court
that the State Board of Assessors is
a judicial tribunal whose findings can
only be reviewed, unless the principle
upon which their determination was
reached was Inherently and legally
vicious"
In reversing this view the Court of
Errors declared that under the rail
road tax act it is the duty of the
Supreme Court to afford relief as
well in cases where the amount Of
the tax is excessive or insufficient,
as in cases where the principle upon
which the assessment is made is err
roneous.
Elsewhere Justice Swayne pointed
out that the manifest intention of
the legislature was to afford the rail-
roads equal protection of the laws in
common with other citizens. One
of the important declarations made
by the Court of Errors is that the
members of the State Board of AS
SCISSORS, even though they be regarded
as a judicial body, may be subjected
to cross-examination as to their
knowledge of the value of railroad
property.
Justice Swayze showed for example,
that in the cases of the Long Dock
Co. the testimony of experts called
by both sides was practically the
same as to the value of the property.
To this value the assessors added
twenty per cent. or about 100000.
In disposing of the contention that
as a judicial body the assessors
could not be compelled to testify.
Justice Swayze pointed out that the
legislature, by making the knowledge
of members of the board evidential
and providing for a review by the
court of the amount of the tax and
the excessiveness or insufficiency Of
the assessment, has by the necessity
of the ase provided for the taking
of testimony of members of the
board, since there cannot be such
review unless all the facts before the
board are presented to the court.
