THE State Supreme Court ou Thursday decided that a Court of Review had the right to place greenbacks on the tex list when other money had been exchanged .lor it to evade taxation. The only relief is to appeal to the State Board of Equalization, and tax dodgers will get cold comfort there. ..

Leading Chicago Democrats are now investigating to find out what became of a $500,000 campaign boodle fund which was raised to be used iu their recent city election. It is claimed that it was not used but mest of it shoved down by five or six of the leading manipulators. That is generally the case. We have even heard that right here in Hancock county that '-boodle' did not always reach the spot where it would do the most political good. That was years ago, however.

The Republican legislature fell down most shamefully when they did not allow land or other properly owners to deduct from the value of said property the amount of mortgage in cumbrance standI ng against the same. It is such dis criminations as this that makes the lot of men who are trying to secure homes, hard, indeed. Let the owner of the mortgage pay the taxes, for he is practically the owner of the property, and no property should be taxed more than once. The legislature did not do justice to the debtor class, but as with previous legislatures succumbed to the influence of the strong and unscrupulous lobby, sent there by the building & loan associations and men who by hiding notes and mortgages away escape taxes which should be paid by them, instead of by the men upon whose homes said notes and mortgages area lieu.

THE question of the taxation of paid-up Building and Loan stock is now being considered by the State Supreme Court. That such paid-up stock has succeeded in escaping taxation is clearly wrong, as II has not paid its fair share of the public burdens.

Attorney-General K^tcham, in his argument, proceeded to"say that he would hold that Section 8507, concerning building and loan stock, violates Article 4, Section 22 of the Constitution, which prohibits the Legislature from enacting special laws on the subject of taxes, and also article 10, Section 1, which requires the Legislature to provide a uniform and equal rate of taxation except upon municipal, educational, literary, scientific and religious property as may be especially exempted by the law. He declared that .*• it was also in conflict with the provision of the federal Constitution whicli prohibits any State from denying to any person the equal protection of the laws."

It is not right or just that such paid-up stock should bo non-assessable. Take an example: A rich man desiring to avoid axation takes $1,000 in paid-up buildng and loan stock. A liboring man with

a family desirous of a little home borrows the $1,000 paid in for the paid-up stock. and builds him a home. Now as to the result: Stock in building and loan associations nets the non-borrowers and nontaxpayers from 10 to 13 per cent., while the poor man who borrowed the §1,000, owning onl}" the lot on which the house was built, pays the big interest ou the money put in by the non-borrowers, and also the taxes on the amount at which his house is valued, there being no exemption allowed by the tnx-gatherers for the amount of money owiug on said home. Thus it can be seen that tlio actii'ii owner of the $1,000, and practically the owner of the little home, has his taxes paid for him by the poor devil who would 1

A writer says that during a residence of 15 years in Japan ho nevor heard of a drunken Japaneso woman.

Both sexes smoko Jn Japan, and when the men beoomo intoxicated they are decidedly unruly and fcoistorous.

Japan is a member of th» Universal Postal union and has quick mail servico, many miles of star routes being covered by barefooted nativo runners.

A Japanese belle, wo aro credibly informed, is a small, very slender woman, lost in a largo piece of fabric. A fair complexion is repugnant to her, and plumpness frightens her.

On tho eastern coast of Japan, where most of tho ports lie, tho cold in winter is rarely below 18 degroes F. In summer it is frequently called "mushi-mushi-utsui" —steaming hot day and night.

Squire Crokenburger of Indiana wasn't for an instant phased when Pontus .Strom and Anna Gonean came to bo married.
