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 of the Sherman act came to tho De partment of Justice In the Interest of their ollenta. Those, In the event of oonvletlon, are threatened with jail sentences. It was held at the department that they had been given no reason to be- 1'eve that the attorney-general would 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 Jail sentences w ill be Insisted upon and were Informed that their clients w ill be expected In the United States court In Detroit on January 4 to give 34,000 ball each. Attorneys for the Indlc'ed men Indicated they would not make It necessary for tbe govern­ ment to start 50 removal suits to get the 60 defendants together on that day.

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 Is one of the thlnga he has upon his legislative program Still, the leaders 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. st st x MEXICAN REBELS ON THE INCREASE OJINAGA EXPECTS ATTACK Revolutionists Massing Around That Ctty and Government Forces Antici­ pate Trouble JAMES E.

Asserting that one death In East Portland and three In Hillsboro within a month were due to diseased meats, the slate authorities and some of the United States officials are becoming aroused by the lack of proper precau­ tions.
