law limiting these increases has
been violated and recourse will be had

taxes within the legal limits.

In spite of the fact that all taxes on
the railroads and all other big public
utility corporations in Minnesota are
turned into the state treasury and
less than ten per cent Of such taxes
are paid into the state treasury of
North Dakota, the state tax on land
is almost as large in Minnesota as in
North Dakota. While the local tax
on land is much higher in Minnesota
than in this state. Here are Com

passed by the dye section expressing
the disapproval Of such lack Of con-
fdence Of the trade in American dyes.
Another interesting point brought
up before the dye section was that
the bases OF dyeEtuffs manufactured
from coal tar distillates, Involve ma
terials used in the manufacture OF eN-
plosives and poison gases for war
use. It was pointed out that the i'm
portation OF these dyes would result
in the manufacture to a greater eX-
tent Of the poison gases and eXplo-
sives in foreign countries. A resolu-
ton asking that the importation Of
these dyes or coal tar distillates be
prohibited was passed.
A resolution was introduced and
adopted before the dye section by
Major T. W. Sill, who was a member
Of an allied officers commission which
inspected the German dyemaking fac
tories in the territory occupied by the
allies. The resolution called for the
placing Of American chemists in the
dye making establishments in Ger

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 26.-Cigar-
ette smoking, If the smoke IS not in
hailed, is the least harmful Of all meth
DDS of indulgence in smoking. This
was the statement made yesterday BY
DR.. A. D. Hirschfelder before the Di-
vision of Biological Chemistry Of the
American Chemical Society, which is
holding its hfty-eighth annual meet
ing at the Bellevue-Stratford.
''If the smoker does not inhale the
smoke" Dr. Hirschfelder said, 'the
cigarette IS the 1ightest form OF to-
bacco. It is largely a matter Of cross
section Cigars and pipes seem much
stronger than cigarettes, but this Is
because the burning occurs chiefly
along the surface OF the toabccO, and
so much more tobacco "a being con-
verted into smoke at each instant in
these than in cigarettes.
Cigars have about four times the
cross-sectiOn Of cigarettes, and pipes
have nine or ten times the cross-sec-
tiOn," DR.. Hirschfelder continued. 'Tf
all three were smoked equally fast,
the smoker would get an overwhelm-
ing dose Of nicotine from cigar and
pipe. Cigars, therefore, must be
smoked more slowly than cigarettes
and cannot be inhaled"
Shark Meat A DeIIeaey.
The morning session Of the conven-
ton was devoted to the reading Of
original papers on chemical subjects
presented by delegates before the va
rious sections. Among those which
aroused especial interest was the pa
per discussion SHARK Meat As An
Edible Product" read by DR.. Allen
Rogers.
DR.. Rogers said that in Boston and
New York, shark meat is being sold
as deep sea swOrdfsh meat, and is
appreciated as a delicacy. A method
has been developed. Rr. Rogers said,
by which shark skins can be converted
into mercantile leather, and several
corporations have been formed and
have engaged in this work The catch
per day, based upon a conservative
estimate, Is at present 1000 sharks,
at an average weight Of 200 pounds.
The total per day is thus 100000
pounds OF, shark meat. OF this. 50
per cent is edible, netting 200. 900
pounds daily, or 100000 pounds Of
shark meat annually, which can be
sold at 10 cents per pound.
