It is also President Taft's. belief .19 it was President Roosevelt's that railroads sSwukl be relieved of the I öperation of th$ Sherman anti-trust law and that they should be permit-I ted to make combinations and agree-1 ment9 among themselves so long as Bhey are not in restraint of trade and provided Ühat they are made under the sopem-ision1 of the government.

INCREASE NOT LARGE.

State Taxes for Next Year Will Amount to Only $4,803.79 More Than Last Yearj Indianapolis1, August 23. The ex pected large increase in the valuation of property in the various -counties of the state for taxation has not 'been realized The auditor of state has made an abstract of the valuations in all the counties, for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of taxes which will Ibe collected by the state in the year 1910, and the figures shoiwt . that the state taxes will amount next year to only $4,S03.79 mre than they did for this year. This year the snate taxes amounted to a total (Ji $6,1S7,3."4.20. Next year they will he $C,19i,15S. 'Marion county, of course leads in the total amount df taxahles. The state auditor's report shows this to be $210,453,910. The counties between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000 worth of taxaibJes arc as folhiws: Delaware $31,623,855: Grant, $31,3;L135; LaiPorte $31,106,94; M'adiv n. $35,619,00; Tippecance, $34,386,350; Wayne, $3,373,G44 Brown county has the smallest amount of taxable property of any county in the SJtate $2.021,340. Next comes Ohio with $2,036,450; Craiwford, $2.5.)4,r0O; Scott, $3,C07,32a; Switzerland $1,018,825. It has heen expected all along that the increase m 'the state taxes in 1910 over 1909 would be substantial iy a large amount. During the legis iaturc last winter, when the legisüa ture was trying to pile up a hig ap propriations bill with appropriations for nearly eveything in sight, hotv ever, Governor iMarshall opposed the increase in appropriations, on th ground that the legislature would appicpriate more money than the state would collect in taxes. The legislators Democrats and Republicans alike, ho were fighting for Jarge appro priations for purposes which they favored, went back at him with the statement that there would be an enormous increase in the valuation oi .roperty in the state for the next ytar. The figures how eve f, show that the exacted big increase has not shown up. WATER WAGON MAKES GAIN SEVEN AND A HALF BILLION DRINKS SHY IN TWO YEARS. Figures Show that Consumption o Liquor is Greatly Less Than Before. Drinkers ii the United States from the chron?c "souse" to those who occasionally and -lightly dally with the foaming 'stein or the sparkl ing wine glass, have gone shy, seven and a half billion drinks in the last two years according to statist'cs; is med yesterday from Prohibition na tional headquarters. In the same peri d 1,408,09s men iwtho were wout to take an average of four portions ci grog each day have become tota abstainers. If the. seven and a half billiot Jrank9 tnat were missed had gone across the bar for consumption they would have cost $464,449,907.13, a the regular grogshop prices, while i they had been poured into a tank o j-ufiicient capacity they would .have tloated a fleet of battleships. The statistics? were compiled by National Chairman 'Charles R. lone" from an advance report oi tri linked States internal revenue bureau for the fiscal year 1909 and they wers put forth as a counter to the assertions that prohibition never prohibits and that more liquor is sold in "dry" than in "wet" territory. The assertions are .contained in a statement which in part r-äds as follows: "On the basts of the official re cords- isued by the internal revenue department for the four fiiscal years June 30 1905 to June 30, 1909, the astoni sluing ifact devlops that the liquor traffic during that time has come short of its expected sales to an esti mated aggregate total of $3S9,0S7,aaa. 97 gallons of spirit's and fer mented liquors. "The liquor traffic had been in creasing its output by leaps and bounds for the year up to 1907. On a basis of growth const rvatively estimateid at figure only equal to the increase during the year 1903 and 190G, their would have been a total expansion of liquor production during the two years- li'rom 1907 to 1909 of 300,0S0,702.GG gallons of liquor. Did it happen? Well, hardly so you would notice it. As an actual fact during those two years instead of the gain above mentioned, which might naturally have been expected, there wais an actual decrease of 89.006,621,31. Anld here drop a tear for the poor alcohol mixer. For in just two years from June 30, 1907 to June 30, 1909, the total difference between expectation and realization was actually the mere bagatelle of 399,087,333.97 gallons. Of this enormous, shrinkage from expected figures of increase of liquor production the -whisky total is 37,8S2,(i07 gallons, while the beer production in. the same time shows :i net Mhrinlcage of not les1 than 351,204.72G.97 gallons from expected developments. Reckoning that the average moderate drinker buys four drinks a day, the figures bow that the equivalent of l,40f,09S men no longer patronize the saloons as they did in the year ending June 30 1907. B. & 0. Gets C. H. & D.

Oetr it, Mich., Augut 2. -Aitfr devoting the fir.it part of their sessions to drafting a un K.nn stock transferact, the commissioners on uniform state laws expect to get down to the consideration of a uniform state ianv governing marriage.

To Stop Common Law Wedlock. The committee has aimed to draft legislation that will not only prevent improper marriages, but that also will prevent common Jaw marriages by making the latter an offense. The physical examination of parties to a marriage will not be included, but the age provision wiii be very strict Couplesj under twenty-one must have their jvarent's consent, according to flic committee's draft, and couples over that age must furnish ample pvof of their age statements. The committee also has considered wife desertion, and it is its sense (hat such should facilitate divorce. In some states. , they find the penalties for this too lenient.

MACHLAN'S STUDIO Packard Block VICTORY FOR RAILROADS FEDERAL COURT LIMITS THE POWER OF INTERSTATE COMMISSION Fixed Injunction Granted in the Missouri Rate Case Act in Denver Case. Chicago, Aug. 25. Manufacturers and producers generally of the terri tory lying In-twee Buffalo, Pittsburg and Parker.4urg, on the east, and the .Mississippi river on the we't, are re garded a the greatest beneficiaries by the major" iy deension of the UnötNJ States circuit court, here, vcrmanenttly enjoining the United States commerce oommission from enforcing its sealioardMiouri river through rate. The opinion of Judge Grosscup and Kohlaat (Judge 'Iiaker dis.cntirtg), if sustained by the .s'tipreme court of tlie United State- will greatly curtail the p-oiwcrs of the connmision over transportation rate, restricting it to a sort of police court adjudication! Oi specific cases' ctf alleged discrimination. The rate making power remains in the hands of the raiJroads-. The lissouri river cities whicl kViould have profited had the commission's order been allowed to go into effec:, benefit by the court's ruling in the Denver rate case. In the latter a temporary re-training order was issued. This case and the Missouri river ;ase are similar in principle, the former conceding the commission's order of a new and reduced rate between Chicago and St. Louis to Denver. The commission's order Of June '-1. l'JOSj reduced the rate on first-class freights from the seaboard (east of Buffalo, Pittsburg and Parkers'burg) :c 'Missouri river points from $1.4S to $1.31. This order was issued upon representation! of the Missouri river interests, manufacturers and jobbers chiefly, that the seaÄjoad rate of $1.15 to 'Minneapolis and St. Paul was a luscriininuti'oi against them inasJmuch as the tuvin cities using the cheaper water rate of the MUsissJppi (boats-, were able to undersell them in thcir Qvn territory on articles coming originially from the seaboard. The seaboard shipper shared in the profit een in the commission's order over his; conipetatgrs in the central traffic territory who would not share in the reduced rate. Ac coal ing to aroused sentiment in Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit St. Louis and other central traffic cities, the order was a rank discrimination calculated to ruin their industries, They were not aroused, however, by the Denver case. This case was the Missouri river case over again, save that central traffic ipQints- and Denver would reap the benefit oT a twentythree cent reduction in the through rate which the 'Missouri river points would not enjoy. Missouri river interests were to Ibe protected against the middle west and Denver against the Missouri river. The sc aboard had an advantage in both rates. In their o'pinion Judges Grossctip ad Kohlsa'at held that congress in creating the interstate odmrnerce act had not intended to place a power in the hands of. a few 'men to Innld up one community or ruin another. They held that in ordering the through rates at issai the cxnnission had greatly exceeded its powers. In dii anting Judge Baker discusfed this point at length, declaring that the commistsion in Ordering the through rates had done nothing more than the railroads have always done. As the railroads iwere cxteded west, he said, new through rates were constantly made, and these rate were less than tlhe joint Hates. lie declared tint had the committal. n'ot acted the railroads, iwxxuld' in time with tlie growing wealth of th4 trairMis.oturi country have followed their mwu
