t WITHOUT AN ANSWER. An Old Proposition Treated From Scientific Standpoint. "To settle an argument kindly an war tbe following question: If an Ir resistible force were to mma in tact with an immovable body, what would be tbe result?" The answer cannot he thnmrnt in th present limitation of tbe hnmiin mini We cannot even commence to think oi any Infinity whatever. An Irresistible force la an Infinite rorce ana cannot be thought of in any property may nave by any pbaae oi mma runctionlng in noy brain. An Immovable body Is Infinitely atl) or Its rest Is absolute. And mind 4i brain cannot think of tim nhninn For a body to be at absolute rest li must tbe only one in existence, fo u mere aw two In space attraction Will cause both to move.

Tbe Kind You Have Always Bought Bears th Signature of TAX-DDDGING IS MUCH PRACTICED Widely Known Chicago Companies Declared To Be Guilty On Large Scale. SENSATIONAL REVELATIONS Tax Reformers Show That Some Huge Corporations Are Not Assessed at All. Chicago, May 28. Disclosures taken from Government records showing that many ot the largest corporations in Chicago have been dodging taxes for years were made when Maxwell Edgar, an attorney, testified before the Sen atorial Vice Commission in session at the Hotel La Salle. The figures sub mitted were sensational in character and caused a pronounced stir at the hearing. The documents, according to Mr. Edgar, were procured from the Treas ury Department at Washington through an error made by one of the clerks. He asserted that he had been warned that to disclose the information is a penal offense, but said that he testified because he himself held the opposing statute to be unconstitutional. R. T. Crane & Co. were cited as some of the worst offenders. It was shown from the Government's records that in 1909 their profits amounted to $2, 576, 777,and in 1910, $2,974,334, while in neither year were they assessed any thing by the Board of Assessors or the Board of Review. "They are a bunch of grafters, every one of them, and probably the worst in the whole lot," was the declaration made by Edgar when he read the figures. When Attorney Edgar took the stand he was questioned by Lieut.-Gov. Barratt O'Hara. "We have information that you know the-profits of many of Chicago's corporations for certain years. Are we correct? "Yes." "Will you explain to the commission how these were procured?" "I have been working with the Illinois Tax Reform League for several years to force the payment by corpo rations of back taxes and for the pros ecution of certain politicians who have been guilty of not assessing the com panies. At present we have several of these suits pending, while others have been heard in the Supreme Court. "When I started out in my investi gation I wanted to learn the profits of the different firms and also discover what they have been assessed. For some time I was unsuccessful, but finally I wrote to the Treasury Depart ment at Washington, and through an oversight received figures for 1909 and 1910. These figures show the condi tion of nearly every large concern against which we were directing our suits." "Will you give the commission the figures that you have?" . "These are-some of the items I have, which came in certified copies of sworn documents furnished the Treasury De partment by the corporations them selves. The figures showing how much they were assessed by local assessors naturally were gained from other sources. J "The profits of Marshall Field & Co. in 1909 were $4,643,197. In 1910 they amounted to $4,419,427. The capital stock of the company is $6,000,000. A fair cash valuation of the concern is $12,000,000, while the taxable stock amounts to $6,0250,00. In spite of this they were assessed in both years only $250,000, and that amount stood before the Board of Review. "Sears, Roebuck & Co. in 1909 made nrofits of $6,990,794. and in 1910, $6,- 606, 291. In neither year was there any assessment made upon the capital stock. "The Fair is incorporated at $1,000, 000. The cuiicurn made profits of $1,- 910.000 in 1909 and 1.136.876 in 1910 It taxable stock is $8,950,000. With these figures the firm was assesses $100,000 in 1909, and that meagre amount was cut to absolutely nothing bv the Board of Review. "One of the strangest examples of juggling of finances comes in the report from Armour & Co. This is in the form of their profits, which were reported to the Government. According to the Treasury records the company made $4,500,000 in 1909, and yet in 1910 the amount was but $865,295. Each year the assessment was placed at $500,000. "Butler Brothers were assessed $300, 000. and when the matter came before the Board of Review that amount was rut tn nothing. "The W. W. Kimball Company, the largest piano dealers in Chicago, showed Drofits in 1909 of $834,709, and oi&,- 000 in 1910, The assessment the first year was $200,000 and in 1910, $60, 000, which, likewise was wiped out by the Board of Review. CHARGES DISCRIMINATION N. S. Railroad Said To Be Partial To Vlrjlnla Resort. Editor Journal: The good old summer time will soon be here, tcrtainly a welcome visitor to all after having such an unseason ably cold spring. Getting on time now to begin packing one's trunk and get off to the sea shore. 1 know of no better place for a little recreation than on the North Caro lina shores oi the Atlantic, and in Morehead City will be found a hotel that is surpassed by none on Virginia's coasts. The sea food which it serves fresh from the ocean certainly is a treat for the young and old. ' Last year the fare from this point to Morehead City seemed to be sat isfactory with all. This year the fare to this same point is about one third Tiigher. Ca ve account for this? A thought at once presents itself. They just a short time ago leased the Atlantic Hotel. , When operated by the N. S. Ry. they catered for this resort and made attractive railroad rates. Take the rates from this place alone, reduce them one third lower than they now are and you will treble the crowd. So it is or rather it seems to be that the Norfolk Southern Ry. has its eyes on Virginia and her attractions. Not only in this one case, but in most everything else. Oh, how ungrateful they are! Only a few years ago this road was a small dot on the map. North Carolina has made it what it is today. We will see in the future how much of Virginia's soil this great Norfolk Southern will claim. Very respectfully, CHAS. C. SIMPSON Riverdale, N. C, May 28. On June 9 a one week term of Craven county Superior Court for the trial of criminal cases only with Judge O. H. Allen of Kinston presiding, will be con vened in this city. There are several capital cases on the docket and the term will be one of much interest.
