Sleeping Car Tax The sleeping car tax is fixed at 5 per cent of the gross earnings of the companies in the state. This affects the business after January 1, 1914, the first tax under the new law to be paid in 1915. The pure mattress law provides that every mattress sold after Janu ary 1 must have a label showing the materials used in its manufacture, and whether they are new or second hand The salary of the mayor of Minne apolis is increased to $6,000 and of the alderman to $1,500 in two laws effective January 1. The Bendixen 2-cent fare law was passed on the assumption that the 1907 2-cent fare law would be heald invalid. The 1907 law, having been held valid, the new law will not change rates but it has been feared that since it fixes rates on earnings instead of on valuation of the roads, it may upset the Supreme Court de cision upholding the 1907 law.

And it has this power .because con trols the reserve of capital"Xx^-u-" The control of the great insurance companies is an important factor in this situation. Into the coffers of these concerns pour a tremendous volume of savings, which, when pool ed in New York, clamor for invest ment. The resources of the insur ance companies are vast, and they are largely invested in bank stock. Hence, whoever controls the insur ance companies controls the banks whose stock is held /by these com panies, and this control multiplies many fold the dynamic power of each dollar of insurance reserves. It ex plains why J. P, Morgan thought it cheap to pay $3,000,000 for 51 per cent of the $100,000 of capital, stock of the Equitable Life. The other great Morgan insurance companies, the New York Life and the New York Mutual, are controlled without a dol lar of investment by the Money Trust.. The assets of thes three compan ies amount to nearly two billion dol lars. The Pujo Committee found Morgan in control of banks having nearly two billions of deposits, al most aff of which are at the dispos al of the financial oligrachs. This money belongs to the people, but it has been forged into the chains of slavery.

Grippg is an infectious disease eas ily taken when the system is in a tired or run-down condition. The best means of -prevention are to keep the blood in good healthy condition, and if the system gets into a weak, run-down condition, take Vi nol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic. A lady from Long Branch, N. J. says: "Grippe left me in a nervous, weakened, run-down condition. After taking three bottles of Vinol I am better and stronger than I have been for years, and I cheerfully recommend Vinol to all who have suffered from the grippe and need strength."

The changes he urges have more to do with the machinery of courts than with the fabric of the law. On an anti-trust legislative pro gram the attorney general was silent. He asked congress for no amendment to the Sherman act, the rod his de partment uses to bring trusts to terms, and he points out no fault in its operation. T. Attorney General McReynoIds made it clear, however, that so long as he was head of the department he would oppose court decrees in anti-trust suits where the combination was dis solved into parts under the control of the same stockholders. That plan, adopted in the Standard Oil and Tobacco cases, he calls a "fundamental defect" The attorney general offers a novel solution of the problem of superan nuated federal judges. Such judges under the constitution hold office dur ing good behavior, although they may retire at the age of seventy after ten years' service.

Chicago, Dec. 10.That a gigantic monopoly that arbitrarily fixes the wholesale price of butter and eggs, produced, by %:the Central Western states, operates under the guise of the Chicago Butter and Egg board, is the finding of Master in Chancery A B. Morrison in a report filed with Judge Kohls'aat fn federal court here. The report alleges that within the Chicago Butter and Egg board is a smaller organization known as the Elgin Butter and Egg board, which ar bitrarily sets the prices.
