The supreme court of the United
States reconvened Tuesday for what
promises to be one of the most import
ant sesslune In the entire history of
that body.
There are about 30 Important cases
heard at the last term which are on
the docket for reurgument. Many of
the Cases wtU be heard at the same
time. The IS Involving the' constitu
tionality of the corporation tax were
heard as one case and doubtless will
be so presented at the next hearing.
These cases were brought to deter
m ine the legality of the new tax,
which Is bringing In revenue at the
rate ot 325,000,000 a year. The law
went Into effect June 30 of this year.
Should the supreme court after rear
gument declare the tax not constitu
tional, the money already collected
must be refunded.
Of equal importance w ith the cor
poration tax cases are the suits
brought by the government for the
dissolution of the Standard Oil Com
pany and the so-called tobacco trust.
Attorneys for the Individuals In
dicted as members of the so-called
"bathtub trust” for alleged violation

It was held at the department that
they had been given no reason to be-

consent to the acceptance of a plea of
guilty and the Imposition of fines
rather than Imprisonment. They were
given to understand, It was said, that

One of the moat Important pieces of

It Is to have the right of way on the
senate side of the capitol, and under
an agreement made last spring It la
expected that a vote will be taken be
fore the end of January.
There Is going to be a hard fight
over the measure, notwithstanding
that President T aft Is with It and
that a South American mall subsidy

In the senate are hopeful of passing it.
ITERE is no more potent influence for good in the modern
community today than feminine fashion. Not only are the
ever changing fashions of women ONE OF TIIE CHIEF
DELIGHTS OF CIVILIZED COMMUNITIES, but it
is a safe statement to make that we have today no more CONCLU
SIVE KEY TO A WOMAN’S MENIAL AND MORAL DE
VELOPMENT THAN THE CLOTHES SHE WEARS.
Much has been said of the high cost of living. The immense
sums of money spent annually in this country on apparently useless
articles of women’s personal decoration are cited as arguments in
favor of American extravagance, when as a matter of fact this ITEM
IS ONE OF OUR SMALLEST NATIONAL EXTRAVA
GANCES. A girl or WOMAN WHO IS SELF RESPECTING
WILL ALWAYS DRESS FASHIONABLY AND WELL. The
hobble skirt, the peach basket hat, high heeled shoes and all the thou
sand and one foibles of the feminine sex are entertaining and products
of good.
