STATE SAVED 60
 MILLION

Albany. N. Y., Nov. 27-New York state was saved s60.000,000 by a court of appeals decision today.
 The states highest tribunal sus- tained the corporation income tax law, assai1ed by several of the larg- est corporate taxpayers in the state, and thereby, according to Attorney General Newton's interpretation, checkmates the efforts of the business and mercantile corporations to re- cover all corporate franchise taxes paid the state in the last three years D
 Judge Benjamin N. Cardozo wrote the opinion. With the lines so blurred and vague between the law fu1 and the unlawful wrote Judge Cardozo, "the most honestly conceiv- ed and carefully developed system of assessment may involve some element of value beyond the reach of the taxing powers.

This is the tale of a Stolen Charter, and of a consequent hue and cry. Herbert L. Stowe took the charter down, cleaned the frame. He stuck the charter in another frame. Tome body missed it and they called in De- tective J. J. Gerrity, who readily found the frame but not the charter. Tracy Wendell, secretary, is not the better sleuth, but he had more luck.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair, in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali This dries
the scalp, makes the heir brittle, and
is very harmful Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless). is much better
than anything else you. can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly
injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it In. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
linses out easily, and removes every
particle Of dust. dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t
is very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the fam

proposed to concentrate the entire
advance on freight traffic. We re-

and freight traffic should be made,
separating the accounts, The rail-.
roads at first declined to do this,
saying that it would be impossible.
But later, on proper showing the
commission required the railroads to
furnish the information which we re-
quested.
This disclosed that the passenger
traffic was more profitable than the
freight traffic; but that if the entire

the opposite would be true. There

should be made on all classes of

previously proposed, making all

stated are OF large importance to the
