which - at the same time permit the
use of surplus mealts and vegetables
By using recipes calling for veal or
in which veal could take ~the place

too expensive to feed, could be prof
itably disposed of. The sa^ne lias

PROTESTED TAXES MUST BE
PAID ? CASES LIKELY TO BE
CARRIED TO HIGHEST COURT
OF LAND.
RALEIGH, Nov. 14. ? Through its
State Revenue Department the State
of North Carolina haa won the big
suit in the U. S. court in which the
railroads sought to delay and whol
ly avoid, in part, the taxes due the
state. Judge Connor has just filed
his decision in Raleigh covering the
case. "
""The opinion holds that the five
pay $145,000. annually in contested
railroads -operating in the State qiust
Income taxes levied by the state.
Million Involved
Original suits brought by t&e
Southern Railway, the Atlantic Coast
Line, the Seaboard - Aair Line, and
.the Atlantic and Yadkin in October ~
1921, involved more than a million
dollars in contested taxes, oyer and -
above the amount agreed by tile rail
roads to be just. A, three-judge court
I cr>m;.osed of Judge Edmund Waddfil
jof tile Fourth Circuit Court 9i Ap
1 peals, Judge Henry G. Conner of
the Eastern District of North Caro
lina, ancfc Judge James K. Boyd of
the Western North Carolina District
refused last March to gnfrt the rail
roads an . interlocutory injunction re-'
straining Commissioner of Revenue
D. Watts and other State and, lo
cal officers from collecting $776,578
in ad valoreqk taxes due the counties
.franchise taxes die the etate. .A.;
stay of pi?*ceedh?g?? .howeter, was
granted "in Jfcge, pending an appeal
to 'the Supreme Court of. the United
States, wher^' theeaaes Mure b*#o
iii contained irf on? paragraph, th ?
mainder of the decrek Mag dttmi
to a r presentation Of the?wtentlons
and the law bearing on the subject.
I After setting these forth, .fedge Coi.
I jnor says : '*> ?i Al ' V
"It is adjudged and- dk^dd thaf

By agreement of counsel the ne
cessity of p. three-Judge coon was
eliminated in the inctfmb. tax caw
and the cases were heard b* Judge
Connor ^n the final hearing. It )?
considered certain that an appeal
will be taken directly to the Soprsns
Court of the United States by the
railroads, and the question of grant

pending that appeal Will probably be
