Doomed to Defeat

No matter how skillfully the states
attorneys OF North Dakota and the
attorney generals office fight the
tax reduction cases brought in fed
eral court by the leading railroads,
it appears inevitable that they will
achieve something less than complete
victory.
In trial Of the case the plight OF
the farmer will be compared with
that Of the railroad and there Is no
question that agriculture has suffered
more than they. If the matter were
wholly one Of need, the state tax
commission would win its case with
out great difficulty.
But that Is not the point involved.
The question at issue is whether the
state overvalued the railroads for pur-
poses Of taxation. The decision rend-
cred in the 500 Line case Of last year
would seem to indicate that 1t did.
In that case, 1t will be remembered,
the 500 Line demanded reduction In
its taxes and payment was held up
pending q decision. Later an agree
ment was worked out whereby part of
the taxes were paid before final de-
cision was reached In order that
school districts and other subdivisions
might have the benefit Of at least a
part of the money.
In its ruling, the federal court re-
duced the 500 Line taxes IL per cent
and final settlement was made on
that basis.
Before the decision was rendered,
however, the state board Of equaliza-
ton was forced to again assess the
railroads. Naturally. it did not con-
fess the weakness Of the states case
by granting q reduction and so levies
for 1888 were made on pretty much the
old basis.
It would appear, therefore, that the
500 Line already has won its case to
the extent of II per cent and 1t would
appear probable that the others will
receive the benefit of similar judicial
leniency.
The upshot Of the whole business
may be that the general taxpayer
will have to dig deeper into his pocket
to make up the difference for what
otherwise would be collected from the
railroads.

HOW RED IS YOUR BLOOD9

The heart of an adult pumps APP
proximately six ounces Of blood into
the aorta great artery at each beat.
Psychologists estimate there is from 8
to 8 pounds OF blood in the body Of an
adult weighing $50 pounds. From Is
to 26 heart beats would pump out all
the blood in the body. It takes q
seconds for the blood to make the
complete circuit thru the arteries,
capillaries, back thru the veins to the
right side of the heart, then thru the
lungs and back to the left side Of the
heart again.
Blood in the arteries or in the left
side of the heart is brighter red than
blood in the veins or in the right side
of the heart. But when bleeding oc-
ours who could be calm enough to de-
duce from the brightness of the color
whether it comes from artery or vein?
Anyway, it could do no good to make
such distinction. The emergency
of bleeding from a wound calls for
pressure upon the wound itself or, If
it is In a limb, pressure or constric-
ton around the limb above the
wound. There Is only one sign that
shows the bleeding Is from an artery,
and that Is squirting which varies
rhythmically with the heartbeat or
pulse. Bleeding from vein Is q
steady flow.
The chemical reaction Of the blood
is always alkaline, but only slightly
alkaline. It is still alkaline even in
the state known as "acidosis." tho in
that condition the alkalinity is low,
or as physicians say, the alkali re-
serve is diminished. This Is q talk
about blood and not about acidosis,
so we'll leave the subject OF acidosis
with the remark that acidosis IS q
sign or one manifestation In many
different diseases, but is never due to
wrong diet alone.
Almost any one but q doctor or a
psychologist knows what impure
blood" means, or how simple it is for
charlatan to get Mature" to cure
whatever you imagine ais you, by
eliminating the impurities you 50
readily believe are clogging your cap
illaries. But further than to admit
! like to keep my own blood nice and
pure and tolerably rich, I haven't the
slightest notion what the near-doctors
mean by impure blood" Or by theil
imposing term toxic wastes" in your
"system"-just which system the
quacks do not say. probably the whole
blooming system Of systems or which
ever you prefer.
But let's study the circulation Lit.
tie more. II you get it all clear II
your head maybe you'll be less sls'
ceptible to the Establishments Of thu
great self-promoting healers.
Taking off at the aortic valve
which opens to permit the left ven
tricle to pump blood out into thu
great artery. but closes to prevent thu
blood from leaking back into the ven
tricle between beats or contractions o
the heart-the blood flows thru tn
aorta into large arteries leading to tn
head (carotiO to the limbs and to al
parts Of the trunk. These arterie
branch again and again into splallel
arteries. and ultimately into the yer!
smallest, called arterioles. From tn
arterioles the blood enters the capil
laries, which are not distinct vessels

Motor Licenses in Illinois
Chicago Tribune)

The failure Of Illinois automobile
owners to provide themselves with
new licenses promptly at the turn of
the year is an annual source Of irrita-
ton. It evidences some incompetence
IN the office Of the licensing author
ity, tax enforcement by the police au-
thoritieS, timidity Of the courts, and,
above all, an undisciplined citizen
ship.
Licenses should be issued serially.
IN the order of application, without
any favoritism In granting low num-
bers or any attempt to give the mo-
toriSt the same number he had the
year before. The first application re-
ceived should get license No. l, the
second should get license No. 2 and
so on. Any departure from this rou-
tine leads to needless delays in send
ing out the new plates, and suggests
that the state officials are setting up
an II Gotta Drag" club or are pan
dering to the superstitious notions of
people who ought to have better
sense. The only unlucky license in
Illinois ought to be last years license.
The distribution Of the new plates
could be completed before the new
year, and arrests for failure to take
out the new licenses should start
promptly after the new year. If it
is possible to get all licenses distrib-
uted by Feb. Is 1t IS also possible to
have them all distributed by Jan. /.
As 9 means Of obtaining applications
promptly the law should provide that
an application. for renewal received In
January viii cost IS more than an ap-
plication received before the new
year, and the cost should increase IS
month from January to December.
No discretion should be granted to
any one. state official. Judge, or any
one else, to waive the penalties.
This provision, Of course, would not
apply to the licensing Of new cars, for
which the standard Tee would be COL
lected within the month Of purchase
and the penalties would accumulate
thereafter: and possibly some special
provision would have to be made for
cars II dead storage at the turn Of
the year.
Even without the penalties q SUBJ
stantial improvement can be brought
about II the secretary Of state win
act more promptly upon the applica-
lions received. It Is admitted In
Springfield that the applications were
allowed TO accumulate before Jan.
and that even now there Is delay OF
three days between the receipt Of an
application and the issuance Of the
plates. II the secretary Of state Il
under the impression that this delay
cannot be reduced he ought to pay .
visit some day to : mail order house
There. though the orders received are
infinitely more complicated than a
simple application for license plates
the delay Of as much Is one day II
the filling Of orders would probably
lead to the discharge Of every employe
In any way responsible.

FIXED GOLD PRICE
URGED BY GRANGE
Roosevelt Asked to Effect
Balance in Monetary
Structure.
By the Associated Press.

HARTFORD, Conn, November o.
President Roosevelt was called on last
night by the National Grange to set
and maintain such a price for gold
as may be necessary" to effect a
balance between commodity and in
flexible prices.
Bringing its nine-day convention to
a close. the organization In its reso-
luton refrained from asking for a
specific increase in the price of gold,
but National Master Louis j. Taber
said setting of the price of gold
under present conditions would mean
raising it."
In another resolution, the Grange,
referring to the public debt as a
burden to the American taxpayers,
favored the issuance by the Govern
ment of $3,000,000,000 of "non-in-
terest-bearing Treasury notes for the
retirement of United States bonds
or the payment of expenses incurred
by the public relief program"
This measure added, however, that
the organization is opposed to un-
limited issuance of currency without
adequate gold backing"

expenses"

Attorney General Cummings in
dicated yesterday that court action in
the labor case involving the Houde
Engineering Co. of Buffalo would be
instituted as soon as the National
Labor Relations Board drafted a bill
Of complaint.
With that bill, it was intimated, the
Justice Department will seek injunc-
ton proceedings against the company,
which the board says refused to abide
by ruling that it should deal with
representatives of union selected by
majority vote of employees.

The Steel Labor Board, meanwhile.
must decide whether to order elections
at the steel corporations Duuuesne,
Pa, and Mcdonald, Ohio, plants. as
asked by the Amalgamated Association
of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers. Strong
hints that the corporation would re-
fuse to hand over pay rolls to the
board for compilation of voting eligibil-
ity lists have come from steel sources.
Walter P. Stacy, chairman of the
Sleel bOaTO, SAID yesterday the normal
procedure for obtaining the pay rolls,
If they were not surrendered volun-
tarily, would be to obtain court
subpoenas.
Such action likely would meet a
challenge from the industry. Leading
interests time and again have told the
board it was set up unconstitutionally.
Stacy has replied that he would well
come court test.
In his press conference yesterday,
the Attorney General sought to answer
some talk in labor circles here that the
Government had been "Stalling" in the
Houde case.
Asserting that there apparently had
been some ''misconception" regarding
that case, he added l.Iat the Justice
Department has not at any time been
opposed to the institution of a suit to
