Equalization Board's Ju risdiction Over It. (United rtrm Lcaed Wlrs.) Bacramdnto. July JO. With a ault just Instituted by the state controller to recover taxes assessed last year against tha Pullman company in thla state, representatives of tha , company have appeared before tha atate board of equalization and refused to re( ognlzo the right of that body to levy an assessment upon their property, Submitting a somewhat Incomplete re port as to number of cars, etc.. the Pullman company concludea lta atate ment with: "In furnishing the above Information to the honorable board of equalisation, that It Is not before said board in lta cornorate capacity, and It does not ad mil the Jurisdiction of said board In tho premises." The trouble arose last year because the board could not get any statement of the gross earnings of the company In California, and fixed an arbitrary as sessment, which the company claims Is too high. xno Pullman representatives ciaim they cannot get at the gross earnings for any one state, as they do not seg regate the matter In their books. With a suit just filed agalnat the Pullman company b the atate. Controller Nye took T. C. coogan ana colonel ueorge Plppy, representatives of the Pullman company, to task and aociarea their attitude in not endeavoring to comply with the laws of California was nothing less than deliberate defi ance.

The company s return showed 88 standard cars in operation In the state this year, nguin.st 8J last year. The ag gregate value Is given at !i23,957.70 this year, a gain of J434,S38.L'0 over last year, which Is attributed to better equipment. I om bcott of the board retaliated with the statement that the board's agents had counted 112 cars In the state March 1 laut.

The skin receives its necessary nourishment and strength from' the blood. When, however, this vital fluid becomes a humor-laden stream, it can no longer preserve the healthy, natural appearance of the skin, but by its acrid, impure nature continually irritates and inflames thf delicate' tissues and fibres and keeps the cuticle in a diseased and disfigured condition. External applications caMot reach the blood, and therefore are beneficial only for their ability to reduce inflammation, and assist in keeping the parts; clean. To care any skin tremble the blood must be purified of the humors that are causing the trouble. S. S. S. drires out the humors from the blood so that the skin, instead of being irritated and diseased, is nourished by a! healthy, cooling stream. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and, removes every particle of imoore matter, all acids and humors, and restores the blood to its normal, pure condition, thereby curing every form of skial 2ieae or affection.
