Balch also says that patent legisla-

%. "A matter which is receiving
much attention among members
Of Congress and students of Geo.

the Teutonic blockade on the

owing to the Ron-departure OF
ships for Europe, freight is piled
up from New York to Buffalo.
Farm products, as well as the

TAXATION
Only To Be Considered.

The Governor called an extra ses-
sion OF the Legislature for February
IA to consider new tax law. Some Of
the newspapers have found numerous
objections to the laws proposed by the
Tax Commission, and it is very prob
able that the laws. as proposed, are
not perfect. If there are Objectionable
features, they will undoubtedly be
pointed out to the members OF the
extra session, who will have ample
time to give the various sections am
pie consideration and make such
changes and corrections as may be
desirable. With only one matter for
consideration and with politics and
log-rolling kept out, the extra session
OF the General Assembly ought to give
the people a fair and equitable tax
law that will meet with the approval
OF the vast majority of the people of
the State. Here's hoping. -Cynthians
