DRUGGISTS AFTER
CUT PRICE SHOPS
Question Of Slashing Prices on Pat
emit Medicines Comes Before the
Pharmaceutical Convention.
TOOK IN DEN SHOW LAST NIGHT

Whether or not 81 patent med
icines shall be sold any longer for
SO cents is a question that is going
to agitate the Nebraska State Phar-
maceutical association, whose 400
members and friends have already
begun to arrive in Omaha and will
start their thirty-fourth annual meet
Ing at Hotel Fontenelle this morn
ing. continuing until Thursday noon.
There isn't any question with the drug
gists as to whether proprietary articles
should be sold at cut prices. They de-
cided long ago that there ought not to
b, any such practice in their trade. The
question simply is: How shall we
stop it,"
BY way OF solution they will endorse
the Stevens bill, congressional act pro-
posed in the last session and to be
brought up again at the next one. The
bill would make It lawful for manufac-
turers OF proprietary, trsde-marked ana
patented goods of all kinds to make a
binding contract fixing the retail price
OF the goods. below which price they
could not lawfully be sold.

Collector North
Taxes Base Ball
Clubs as Circus

Congressman Frank Reavts OF the First
Nebraska district has taken exception to
a ruling by Revenue Collector North of
Omaha. Reavis learned that North taxed
the Omaha and Lincoln ball clubs as
"circuSes" and whacked them on that
basis to the extent of 100 bucks a year.
The other six clubs In the Western are
paying $40 a year to the government.
Congressman Reavis has written the
following protest to Collector North:
Mr.. North, Internal Revenue Collector,
Omaha, Neb. Dear Sir: / am in receipt
of a protest over the action of your de-
partment in collecting from the Lincoln
Base Ball association under the schedule
provided for a circus In this schedule
is listed theaters, circuses and other
amusements, and am advised by cor
respondence with both the st. Joseph and
Sioux City Base Bah associations that
collection is made from them under the
heading OF other amusements.' do not
see by what stretch OF the imagination
your department sees fit to class an
amusement association such as a base
ball association as a circus.
II respectfully request that the depart
ment change its ruling in regard thereto.
and that there be returned to the Lincoln
Base Ball association the excess OF money
collected over what would be due under
the head of other amusements.' Will you
kindly let me know your disposition re-
garding this, that / may govern myself
acoordingIy. Very truly yours.
&C. +. REAVIS."

repudiated a temporal kingship and i'm
mediately thereafter had offered Himself
as tho bread OF life. Many who heard

more with Him and II was then that he
asked Of his disciples, VIII We also go

TOO MUCH WASTED LAND.


Boston, Mass, Sept. 15.-At a hear.
ing before the special taxation com.
mission State Forester Rane expressed
the opinion that much unused land in
the state could be brought to cultiva.
ton by increasing the assessment
valuation and compelling the owners
to develop it for their own protection
or to sci to others who would.
Mr.. Rane said there is now in
Massachusetts 100000 acres Of waste
land, the greater proportion of which,
he believes, could be improved by
such a step. In cases where the
owners refused to pay taxes and the
land was not of sufficient value to
justify town tax proceedings, provision
could be made to have it taken over
by the state for forestry development

WANT TO APPEAL DIRECT.

Albany, N. Y, Sept. 15.-Organized
street car men Of this city struck
because the general superintendent
changed the system of adjusting com.
plants against employees SO that they
now can appeal to him only through
counsel after they have been sus.
pended. The union asked the officials
to return to the system of permitting
accused employees to appear before
the general superintendent prior to
suspension. This the company de.
clined to do.
The car men refused to accept this
petty attempt at kingly prerogatives
and tied up the system. Later, car
men in Troy and other nearby local..
ties struck.
