Big TAX CASE
TO BE HEARD
IN j. s. COURT
Judge Woodrough Agrees to Try
CAPITAL Stock Case at This
Term of Court

Judge Woodrough, who is holding
federal court here. has agreed to hear
the. case in which the railroads at
tack the North Dakota capital stock
tax during the present term of federal
court in Bismarck. 1t is probable that
the case will be heard during the
present months.
~ The state was temporarily enjOined
from collecting the tax in hearing
recently before three federal judges
at st. Paul In the trial here, which
is, to be on the merits Of the case, it
is expected Judge Woodroush alone
will hear the case, according to F. T..
Packard, assistant attornev-general.
The railroads contend that the tax
commissioner did not, interpret the
law correctly in allocating the tax
for North Dakota on Il property basis.
They contend the proper interpTeta-
ton would have been to allocate it
on an earning basis, but hold the
law, under this construction, is un-
constitutional.
1t is estimated that 100000 to
$150,00O is involved in the case.

on the screen. With this limitation it will be all the more difficult
 Notwithstanding this fact the move ment deserves consideration
 The movie" has made a now place for itself in the world. It appeals to all classes, including. today. the adults who have been always interested in the stage and who continue to be in terested. The great mass of movie fans, however consists of the young CT generation, and it is the younger generation which should he considered in any attempt to improve the strong influence of the screen.
 The inclination of children-and pretty big children at that-is to re- spond 10 any appeal to patriotic feel ings. The entrance of a rescuing com pany of soldiers is always greeted with applause. This is the tendency that should be made the most of.
 The plan of the women to draw from American history. and to inject into moving pictures a realization of American ideals is a worthy one Its possibilities should not be discounted. and its difficulties should not be ac- centuated.
 Many attempts have been made and have often failed. to introduce "edu- cational films" into the program of a moving picture house. The very name drove many away. If the patriotic and intelligent women who have de- vised this new scheme will accept a suggestion it would be to lay little stress upon the motive of the plan when it is under operation.
 Patriotic as we pride ourselves upon being, We do not want to have it forced down our throats The public will respond because the public is in fact patriotic. The American pictures will appeal and be good for all.
 But it would be wise not to tell us that they are produced flor our good"

REAL AMERICAN MOVIES"

\ group of prominent women have organized to obtain the presentation of real American moving pictures. They believe the picturization of American traditions and ideals. in stead of tales of gruesome murders, would be wise and would prove a fac tor making for better things.
 IT the movement Is properly under stood this is not one of the many plans to censor pictures with the result of making them so unintcrest- ing that the scheme would be doomed to failure from it's inception. The per st ns said to he interested are not of n sort to refuse to recognize the de. mand Of movie fans" for action and plot. Possibly they arc like the ed- fur of the old-time dime novel who. in giving suggestions to a new writer of them. said that he wan,cd the boys who read them to get some moral lessons from the inciden,s described without knowing that they were being led in tho right direction.
 It is extremely difficult for pro duccrs to get interesting stories to weave into scenarios. This is one dit- ftcutty the women will have to face. With no limitations placed on the author it Is hard for him to conceive A story well adapted for presentation

 The matter is hero touched upon merely as q reminder. Those who have been Init" are probably safe from undergoing u similar experience. But there are many who were not in- Jured; the field or credulous persons Is large. and the voice of the oil pro- moter pleasing and convincing. Look out for him.

COMMUNICATED

! To the Editor of Tho Herald: Sir:-May I refer to your editorial. "Hyslop and Spiritualism," in The | Herald Of June 23?
 An authentic communication from Professor Hyslop is not necessary to prove the truth of spiritualism, al- | though it will be. when received. a welcome message and will doubtless | carry conviction to many who now ! doubt. The proof of spiritualisnl is to | be found by all those who earnestly I seek for it. for it has been given , again and again, and will be given yet again.
 I fail to see why there should be any thought of sacrilegc in seeking to communicate with those spirits who have put off the flesh and en- tered upon the next higher plane of development. We enjoy their com panionship here, we hold them in deep affection and when they are gone from our physical sight we de- sire to know that they still live and that the bonds of love and colhpan- ionship are unbroken. There is noth-' ing strange, unn9Iral or sacrilegious in that.
 If the proof cf spiritualism IS de- sired from the Iiible 1t will readily be 
 CSs nSAntains sufficient proof,
 found in many other pIae Noyless person than HeTry Ward Bcecher aSUNssid: "The Bible may be compared to 9 livery stable. In each stall there is a horse and each man pay mount and ride which one he wifi" It is not difficult for any of the established cults to find proof for their beliefs in the Bible.
 It is true that the clergy of many Protestant churches and the priests of the Roman Catholic church frown on spiritualism: but they, each and every one, number among their church members today thousands who believe in spiritualism and who have sought. and are seeking. the consolation to be desired from its teachings. Tn time, its beneficent in- fiuence will permeate all churches and truly spiritualize them.
 SpiritualIsm has not only reached the dignity of a question" if one cares to express it in that manner. but it has come into its own cS the greatest power of the present day, carrying the most vital message that has been given to man since the Man of Galilee walked the earth and manifested the power of the spirit.
 Plans made by human beings are doubtless considered in the life be- yond. but they must be carried out in accordance with the laws of that life and under the conditions necessary to their sIlfilmcnt.
 It is true that fraudulent mediums (without tho quotations, if you please) will give false messages: but in the light Of what has been given in the most incontrovertible manner from others who passed to the spirit lie before Professor Hyslop and which has been testified to by many witnesses, it seems reasonable to be- Iieve that Professor Hyslop will put across the messages which are ex- pectcd. The unbeliever will he con- vineed. according to what he himself may he.
