A Few Observations on Matters

the Editor.

The Minnesota Corporate
Tax Law has been ruled invalid
by Judge Arthur w. Selover of
Minneapolis and Eastwood
Lake. Judge Selover holds
that the law is already re-
pealed by implication through
subsequent tax laws; that its
collection would deprive cor
porations of their property
without due process of law, and
is therefore unconstitutional,
and that neither foreign nor
domestic corporations are SUBJ
ject to the tax.
There will be a campaign in

p5 OUT OF 100 ARE DEPENDENT


If you were to ask the financial
status of the next hundred men
aged 65 or more. you meet, you
would find, if they represent the
average. that only five have indie
pendent incomes large enough to
live on decently without working
nat 28 continue to work for a
living; that 81 are dependent fol-
eheir livlihood upon relatives, pub
tic charity or friends.
Every one of these men started
out in life with high hopes. Every
one envisioned a self sustaining
self respecting cid age, in which
he could retire on the savings he
had made during his productive
years, and enjoy himself, without
worry and without dependence Oh
any person or institution.
Five of the hundred men achiev
ed that goal Ninetyfve failed tc
reach it.
These are facts unpleasant q,
they are, they will befaced by ev-
cry person of foresight and cour-
age who is not yet too old to make
the most of the lesson they teach
There is no royal road to old age
independence for most OF us-it
can be reached only by a plan
which uses some of the dollars we
earn with comparative ease nov
to care for our needs and anti

It was the British government. by
the way, that conscripted 500 cats in
the World war. and used them to give
warning of the approach Of gas In
the trenches. Their extreme sensi-
tiveness to poisonous odors made
them valuable for this purpose. and
they saved many a Tommy's life. Be-
fore human noses knew that gas was
in the air, the cats would show signs
Of being overcome.
But 1t was not In this duty, or
even in mousing. that cats performed
their greatest service In the war.
Their truest value was that they gave
homesick soldiers a touch and re-
minder of home.

CAT MORE THAN
FAMILY FRIEND
Puss Used as Meat Tester by
Government.

The United States government has
paid cats great compliment, and In
doing so opened a new occupation to
these animals. 1t employed them as
official tasters to test the goodness of
some beef. The meat In question was
some relief beef given out in Toledo.
Ohio, and some Of the recipients
charged that 1t made their children
sick.
The Agricultural department In
Washington selected 16 intelligent
cats and offered them some of the
beef. The officials who conducted the
affair report that they ate it with
much relish and mewed for more, and
were as clipper as possible after the
feast.
SO the government ruled that the
beef was all right, and that it must
have been candy or wet feet that
made the Toledo children sick. says
Eleanor Booth Simmons In the New
York Sun.
Uncle Sam has a number of cats
on his payroll as mousers, of whom

as official tasters before. He showed
good sense in this matter, for few
animals are as fastidious as cats
about their eating. If dog had gob-
bled up the accused beef it would not
have proved anything, for even the
most aristocratic dogs are apt 10 be
rather unthinking about the fine
points In food.
Cats are different. One of the most
pathetic sights have seen lately was
