INDIA TAX |S TIE LOWEST ANY
 COUNTRY

SIMLA, India, Jan. 3. -- So far from the people of India grooming under an enormous burden of taxation, India is one of the most lightly taxed coun- tries on the face of the earth ac- cording to Sir William Meyer, minis ter of finance for India, in response to the charges of oyertaxation pre- ferred by socalIed Extremists.
 The total revenues, imperial and provincial for the current year, dur ing which some additional taxation was imposed, amounted to GSG,50o,ooo. Sir William said, and this sum distH- buted among the 2l4000,00o people of British India gave a resultant contrt- button per capita of only seven shil- lings. He pointed out that in three other Asiatic countries, Japan, Siam and the Dutch Indies, the rate per head was much higher, being twenty three shillings in Japan, thirteen shil- lings four pence in Siam, and eleven shillings three pence in the Dutch | Indies

TO PREVENT v THE DELIVERY
 OF FRUIT TREES

h. A. Smith, fruit tree salesman. sought relief yesterday in the chan cery court Via the injunction route. smith alleges that he entered into a contract with E. E. Bayle and the TeXas Nursery company, thru Byles as agent, to sell the company's trees to the trade in this district. He as serts that he made many sales for the company, and turned the con- tracts for same over to the company TOT delivery of the goods. That the company is now delivering, accord- ing to his contracts of sale. but t,at contrary to the contract with Byles. he, the complainant is not receiy- ing hls portion of the purchase price. Complainant, therefore, names E. C. Bayles and the Texas Nursery com pany defendants and asks that an injunction and restraining order be issued forbidding them from further delivery of trees under his contra cts of sale. Incidentally the Wells Fargo Express company is made a party to the proceedings, for, as alleged by smith, this company has on hand bundles of trees addressed to his customers and, unless restrained, would deliver them in the course of business. Judge Elliott issued a tenn porary injunction and the merits of tae case vii be heard at a future sit ting of the court.

 ' foregoing is the array of planters, lond owners and merchants arraign- od against the following parties, named as defendants in injunction nroceedings started yesterday in the pbancery court, namely: Bayou Meto pice and Canal Co.,, Lester A. Black,
 1ohn H. Boone, c. c. Luyndson and al, other parties on whom the in junction may be served.
 The matter at issue between these contending forces is Bayou ,Meto, it's waters and it's channel as a natural drainage canal for some 15,000 square miles of territory.
 The compliments allege that they are the owners of land for which pavou Meto is the natural and, in fact the only drain. They assert that they have been and are now en-
 gagged in extensive and expensive operations, looking to the drainage and consequently the recovery of and the protection of lands already reduced to high state of cultiva
 tiOn.
 They claim that any obstruction in the channel of this bayou will pre- vent the drainage necessary to the continued enjoyment of these rich and fertile lands, and they allege that the defendants have thrown, or are about to throw a dam across the channel of the bayou; that should this dam be permitted to be constructed and remain in the channel, the dam age to their property would be so enormous as to completely ruin their properties With this alleged destruc- tion before them, the complainants asked for an injupnction against the defendants, who, it is said, are build ing the dam with a view of conduct ing the waters of the bayou to cer- tain lands in Arkansas county for the benefit of the rice lands of that neighborhood. The main defendant, the Bayou Meto Rice and Canal company, has its headquarters at Dewitt.
 Chancellor Elliott Heard the pe- tition yesterday and granted a tenn pcrary injunction, the complainants
 giving s5,o00 bond and getting per
 mission to serve the instrument on
 Sunday, so pressing did they consid-
 CT the necessity for action.
