 This speaks well for Carlisle and surrounding territory, as when the lumber yards are doing such an excel lent business we all know that the country is also building up along with it. Carlisle is no iaggard and with its many alert business men gives promise of a very bright and flourish ing future. Our people are wide-a- wake to the needs of our town and community and are not going to let an opportunity pass to upbuiid our little city.

"SAY 1T WITH VIOLETS"

The recent statement of Federal
Judge Lands that the U. S. Govern.
ment was then most unfair. employer
of labor in the country is the echo oi
sentiment in the heart of many pa.
triotic Americans. Perhaps it is be.
cause we want everything connected
with the intimate workings of the
Government-including it's salaries
to be like Caesars wife, above re:
proach; or perhaps it is because OF
the seeming hope1essness of effecting
salary increase for these truly loya
and efficient workers that We make
it our concern.
The accuracy with which the mails
are handled; the few errors occurring
in it's transmission; the regularity
with which the local postman rings
the bell two or three times day
makes us wonder where they get the
vim that results in SO much efficien.

Judge Lands has come out openly

securing justice for them. During

the war;" he said, 81 advised postal
and other federal employees to hold
off-to go easy-to stick to their jobs
because we were at war, and when
the war was over, / told them: 4
will go to the front for you and try
to get justice.
Yes, it is merely that, the postal
and the other federal employees want.
The question of where the money is
to come from is important, we know,
but here is simple little idea, and
we are sure that if it means doing
the right thing by the federal en-
ployes no one will register a COM
plant.
During the war we alb remember
that we had to decorate all mani not
strictly local with a violet stamp.
That meant an extra cent for each
letter. No one complained. 1t is true
we were at war, and no one would
think Of complaining, but now that
we are practically at peace, what is
the objection to reviving the little
violet stamp and hurrying the extra
cent into the Golfers Of the govern
ment for increase in the wages Ct
postal and other federal employees :?
We are so used to being throttled by
our grocer, and bruised by our butch
err, and baked by our baker, and
froze by our coal dealer that an ex-
ira little tap by the government to
the tune of one cent could no more
hurt our hardened pocketbooks than
fly could hunt a steel ball. And so
we are for the violet stamp. In this
great commercial country. where mil
lions Of letters are written daily, we
believe the revenue that the violet
stamp would collect would do some
thing toward relieving the, tension in
the salary question of the postal
clerks and other federal employees.
Of course it is not warranted to do
all-but it would help some. 4.

The writer remembers when he work
ed for $1,000 month and he put In
some long, hard ticks at that, assisting
in milking a good sized herd Of cows
morning and night. On rainy days
there was always wood to split, stab
les to clean out, fences to mend and
thousand and one other jobs to take
up mans time. The farm hand to-
day has a fine opportunity to lay up
come money. The H. G. L. hasn't hit
him as it has the man who has a job
in the city, who Has to pay out a
good share of his wages for room ana
board, to say nothing Of the expen-
sive clothing he is expected to buy.
You may not be able to enjoy an

PART OF n. d. TAX
ACT is VOIDED BY
THE SUPREME COURT
Excise Assessment on Stocks and
Bonds of Interstate Railroads
Operating Within State
Held Unconstitutional

Washington, May 3.-The North Da-
kota tax act Of 1918 insofar as it i'm
poses an excise tax on the stocks and
bonds of interstate railroads operating
within the state, was declared uncon-
stitutional today by the supreme court
The tax law was one of the acts of
the N0npartiaan league legislature
passed in 1919, several others Of which
are under fire in the court The ac-
ton of the court today makes per-
manent an injunction granted by the
district court Of North Dakota re-
straining the collection OF the tax.
Unfair Valuation Seen
The legislature sought to base the
excise levy on strict mileage divi-
sion of the total investments of the
railroads passing thru the state. JUS
tice delivering the opinion that this
obviously would place an unfair val
uation upon the property within the
state. He pointed out that most OF
the mileage in North Dakota was
across plairie land, but that the tax
was based on an average for all mile
age of the lines, including costly con-
struction thru the mountins.
Justice Holmes said the mode ,of
making assessments under the act was
"indefensible" and added:
"The only reason for allowing
state to>lSok beyond<its borders when
it's taxes is that it may get the true
value of the things within it when
they are part of an organic system
of wide extent, that gives them
value above what they otherwise 4
would possess. The purpose U.s. not
to open to taxation what is not within /
the state.
Injunction Justified
Therefore, no property of such an
interstate road situated elsewhere can
be taken into account unless it can
be seen in some plain and fairly in
telligiblue way that it adds TO the
value of the road and the rights ex-t
ercised in the state. The foregoing \
considerations justify the preliminary
injunction that was granted against /
what would appear to be an unwar-
ranted interference with interstate
commerce and taking of property
without due process of law"
Taking general view of the mode
followed in administering the statute,
the court said it believed the lower
courts decree should be sustained.

With steady rain falling Monday
and Tuesday, farming operations thru
out the Northwest have been delayed.
Many farmers have not even started
to seed wheat but most of them were
ready to start their seeding when the
rain came. This will shorten the
wheat seeding season to less than ten
days. A great deal Of ground far
mers were expecting to seed to wheat,
has not even been plowed. Help is
scarce and many farmers have been
compelled to take their small boys and
girls from school to assist with the
spring operations. 1t is believed that
not more than half the usual wheat
acreage will be sown, but instead
there will be more oats, barley, speltz
corn and millet. The situation is very
unfavOrable,
