 Two miles down the road she found her subject. Five COWS which were running at large contrary to the high way laws were standing in the middle of the dusty road with half-closed eyes and their tails lazily switching at the flies. They had arrG lged them selves as if for a photograph, and the girl dismounted and got out her ma terials.

Charleston Anxious.

There is good reason TO believe here
that Charleston is fearful lost the pres
cnt congress is going 10 do something
to it's government armor plate and pro-
jcCtile plans. which belief was strength
cned by the appearance in Washington
OF Walter Hallcnan and Fred Paul Goss-
cup. They held a conference with Rep
resentativc l.. S. Echols on the matter.
The situation in Washington in regard to
tho plants mentioned and in regard to
the plant at Nitro. further south Of
Charleston. so far as il has developed,
may be- briefly summed up in ono sem
tence: Congress will make no further
appropriations for those plants until q
most thorough and searching inVestiga-
tion is made Of tho manner in which the
previous vast appropriations have been
expended. Then. too. il is more than
likrl ythat from the discussion over the
appropriations a clash will develop in
congress that will draw the line taut be-
tween those in favor Of government own
rrShip and conduct Of plants OF this kind
and those who oppose it.

Of frequent assurances recently to MEM

LIBERTY BONDS EXEMPT FROM
: ALL STATE OR LOCAL TAXATION
EXCEPT ESTATE OR|NHER|TANCE

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Juno S.-Are
Liberty bonds exempt from all local and
state taxation? Arc those held by banks
affected BY state taxes? The treasury
department answers both OF these oues-
tons tp the negative
It Ia the understanding here that the
state tax commissioner Of West virginia
holds somewhat different views.
The controversy (if such II may DO
called At the present stage) was taken
70 the treasury department by Repre-
sentative H C woodward upon request
Of q banker AT Middlebourne. and the cor
respondence Of the latter with the state
tax commissioner was submitted to the
officials here
They have written a reply in the case.
which Is signed by L S. Rowe as assist
ant secretary Of the treasury. This IS
what ne says:
Liberty bonds are exempt from all
state and local taxation except estate
or inheritance taxes. and any such tax
imposed upon the bonds would be un-
constitutional and void. whether a
given tax law does. however. tax the
bonds IS a question orSS construction
which can be determined only by the
courts.
THE treasury department. Of course
IS not In 6 position to make rulings as
70 the construction q these statutes
which would be binding up state taxing
authorities.
Where the tax Is OF such nature as
70 be construed as tax upon the shares
OF stock Of q bank and not upon its as
sets, the courts viii generally sustain
the tax even though the value 81 LID
erty bonds owned by the bank Is taken
into account in determining the Taiue
Of the stock FOR purposes OF taxation.
This principel has been repeatedly recoe-
mixed by the supreme court OF the
limited States, beginning with the case
