Decision In License Case;
Defendant Ordered Released

tention in this language: Although
it is said in the opinion of the
state court herein that the thing
taxed is the occupation. merchan-
disc brokerage, and not the busi-
ness of those employing the brok-
ers, yet we have seen from the
eases already cited that when the
tax is applied to an individual
within the state selling the goods
of his principal who is non-resi.
dent of the state, it is in effect
tax on interstate commerce and
that fact is not in anywise alter
ed by calling the tax one upon the
occupation Of the individual resid-
ing within the state while acting
as agent for a nonresident pri-
cipal. The tax remains one upon
interstate commerce. under what
ever name it may be designated,

power to tax interstate commerce

URBANIA, ILL.,, June 3.-The
planets Mars and Jupiter have
been lacking back and forth for
several months through the con-
stellation Leo. Now they are set
on their courses straight ahead to-
ward the east again.
Mars is easily the speedier of
the two. 1t will overtake Jupi-
ter on June A and soon leave it
far behind.
Planets Nearest Them
At the closest approach the
space in the sky between these
two bright planets will be half the
width of the full moon. The
event is scheduled fer S p. M,
eastern standard, time, June 4. BY
nightfall they will be little far
ther apart, but still close enough
to provide an interesting sight in
the western sky.
The two planets are located
nearly a third of the way from
Regulus in the handle of the sic
kle of Leo toward the bright star
Spica i'm Virgo. The line join
ing these stars is almost exactly
the suns path among the stars
near the beginning of autumn.
The autumnal equinox, where the
sun stands when it crosses the
equator on September %, is
nearly two-thirds of the way from
Regulus to Spica.
Race Course Irregular
Many people have watched
Mars and Jupiter in the evening
skies of the past winter and

HARD PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED
 BY DEMOCRATS
Republican Senators Make
 Proposal Bearing on National Budget

WASINGTON, Jan. 27 The Senate Democrats today faced the biggest decision of the short ses- sion, a decision with direct bear ing on the National Budget of the oncoming special session.
 The question is shall the total of all government operating ex- penses be cut by millions, slashed right down to the very level of the reduced Federal income.
 Senator Tydings made the far reaching proposal and Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, called his party leaders for conference to decide whether to go through with such program.
 The Republicans said if the Democrats agree, the Senate will adopt the program.
 
 The annual bill for medicines in the United States amounts to about $9 for each person.

larly handsome. Sharley never
knew whether his eyes were
light brown or light gray. But
she did know that they crinkled
at the corners when Jim smiled.
He ~had the incest and kindest
smile in the world. His nose
was blunt, his mouth straight
and well-shaped, and his hair
was dark brown. For the rest
he was {, little above average
height, and looked strong and
hard as an oak knot.
A Struggling Worker
Jim was an architects assis-
tant. He did not make very
much money.
Jim's pipe and book lay on
the table beside his chair. The
book was Martin Johnson's
Lions"
You were reading, and I in
terrupted you," said Sharlie.
I'm Sorry-but Jim, I was so
blue and lonely at home. /
just didn't know what to do
with myself"
She stayed there in the circle
of the yellow lamplight for an
hour or so talking to him.
Jim was interesting. He had
been reading a book about Tur-
keStan and now he was reading
this book about Africa. He told
Sharlie about them in q way
that was thrilling, somehow.

"Going somewhere?" Eddie
asked her, dropping down on
the steps beside her.
She nodded.
"Where?"
"To the movies with a man
I know" she replied.
He shook his head. He had
not troubled to take off his cap
or to remove the cigarette that
was pasted on his lower lip.
It moved up and down as he
talked.
mo, you're not going out
with man you know" he said.
Not this year"
He broke off talking. Jim
Barnum had come out upon
the landing behind him.
Ready, Sharlie?" he asked,
his puzzled eyes going from
Eddie Wallis to her.
The phrase "hard-boiled"
might have been coined for
Eddie Wallis. He looked like q
young thug sitting there with
his cap pulled down over his
eyes, and his cigarette hang
ing from his lip.
"No. she amt ready" he said.
