to the weekly summary of the Ameri-

average production east of the Rocky

compared with 1,181,600, an Increase
of 21,850.

Washington, April 9e—A question
which threatens to revolutionize the
tax collecting methods of the country,
according to the government soon may
be decided by the Supreme Court of
the United Statee.
Involved is an ancient practcle that
the federal government, until recently
was always able to enforce when lt
touched the pockets of Us cltlsena.
This policy consisted of requiring the
taxpayer to turn Into the custody of
the United States treasury the tax as-
sessed against him, leaving him, as
his only recourse, Its payment "under
protest,” and the Initiation of litiga-
tion to recover what he contneded had
been illegally collected. The court of
last resort has been called upon to
determine whether this time-honored
tax collecting method shall continue
to prevail, or whether the taxpayer
has the right to wlthold payment of
the tax assessed until the soundness
of the government’s demand can'be de-
termined, by oourt procedure if ne-
cessary.
No specific taxing statute is under
attack, but the issue presented in the
controversy ls whether any court can
restrain the collection of & federal tax.
Many objections have been urged to
the government's insistence that the
-taxes it assesses must be paid, leaving
Its right to them to be tested later.
Aside from the disadvantages which
attach to suits against the government
those who followed the government’s
mandate and paid taxes “under pro-
test,” found that successful suits ln
the court of claims did not always re-
sult In the prompt recovery of the
money. After a judgment ls obtained,
congress must appropriate before any
money can be refunded, and exper-
ience has demonstrated that congress
cannot be hurried ln such matters.
With a fair degree of good fortune, the
successful litigant could reasonably

PEOPLE WARNED AGAINST
DOGS RUNNING AT LARGE
Austin, Texas, April 6.—During the
first five days of this month a total
of thirty-one heads of dogs has ’been
received at the State Pasteur Insti-
tute for examination for rabiee Infec-
tion. During March there were 137
heads received, the largest of any
single month over a long period, and
of that number 54 were found to be
infected with hydrophobia. During
last year there were 1200 heads ex-
amined and 30 per cent only were'In-
fected. The percentage of Infection
is Increasing this year, due to the
large number of dogs permitted to
run at large, the director of the Pas-
teur Institution asserts,
Dr. J. T. White, director of the In-
stitute, says that rabies have been
spread by infected dogs running at
large. He declares that until the stray
dog is made a thing of the past and
people forced to keep their dogs pen-
ned up, the public is going to be sub-
ject to the horrors of hydrohobia.

RAILROAD REVENUE
New York, April 9.—Extraordinari-
ly heavy expenses Incidental to the
miners’ and shopmen's strikes are
blamed by L. F. Loree, president of
th eDelaware & Hudson Company, for
the relatively poor earnings last year,
ln the annual report for 1922, which
discloses a deficit of $476,000, as
against a net profit of $4,937,452 the
year before.
Concluding the report, Loree says:
"The unmistakable truth Is that the
system of political control of railway
rates, services and operations, as ex-
emplified In the federal acta of' 1887,
1906, 1910 and 1920 ls on trial.

Washington, April 7.—Although not
nearly ao acute as was expected ln the
early fall, a definite shortage of cal-
cium arsenate by the time cotton dust-
lng becomes active against the boll
weevil, appears likely from present
conditions . This is indicated by B.
R. Coad of the department of agricul-
ture, In charge of the Delta Laboratory
of Tullula, Ala., in a report to the de-
partment.
Mr. Coad estimated that about 19,-
000,000 pounds of calcium arsenate
was used on the cotton fields of the
South last year and there would be a
demand for more than 30,000,000
of 1920 must be the subject of close pounds this year.
preliminary Injunction restraining the
government from collecting the tax by
distraint. The Third Circifit ^Court j
of Appeals considered the action of j
the district court good law, and af
firmed the decree. In view of the im-
portance the government attaches to
an early decision, the Supreme Court
has advanced the case for oral argu-
ment April 23. In insisting that no
court could legally restrain it in the
colleciton of a federal tax, the govern-
ment declared that the interests of
Mr. duPont were amply protected and
that he had not been deprived of his
remedy at law to recover any taxes
wheih were erroneously or illegally
assessed anjl collected.

scrutiny and those elements which are
found not to be conducive, to the gen-
eral welfare must be promptly reject-
ed; otherwise disaster far wider than
the Industry directly affected cannot
be long delayed.”
Confidence that the management of
the New York, New Haven & Hart-
ford Railroad Company could produce
bejter results with more freedom from
legislative and regulatory restraints is
expressed by E. J. Pearson, president,
in the company’s annual report. This
shows a deficit of $4,865,767 for the
year, sa compared with a deficit the
previous year of $14,121,623.
The principal causes for the failure
to show profit are cited by Pearson
as: Ten per cent decrease in freight
rates ordered by the interestte com-
merce commission Jan. 1, 1922, and
July 1, 1922; Increase ln coBt of fuel
because of coal strike; Increased op-
erating expenses due to shopmen’s
strike, and congestion of traffic, fol-
lowliS settlement of coal strike, ag-
gravated by unusually severe weather.
Competition of motor trucks during
favorable weather is blamed also by
Pearson for a lessening of the com-
pany’s revenue. He urges that motor
trucks be compelled to operate on reg-
ular schedule ln bad weather as well
as in good weather, and that they be
forced to pay for the use of the high-
ways.
PASTORS ARE URGED
TO FIGHT COMMUNISM
Washington, April 6—A finish fight
by preachers of the United States
against the dootrine of communism
was urged in a statement issued by
Senator Heflin (Dem.), Alabama. He
attacked in particular a speech deliv-
ered here last plght by J. P. Cannon,
described as chairman of the workers
party of America.
Remarks attributed to Cannon urg-
ing Communist Ideas as against Chris-
tian tenets were characterized by Mr.
Heflin as a 'bold attack on constitu-
tional Government delivered ln the
capital of the Nation. ,
"It is a deliberate assault upon in-
tegrity and sanctity of the home,” he
said, adding that Cannon’s action
should be taken as a throw down of
the gauntlet to “every American who
would protect his country against the
evil of cdknmunlatlc theories.’’

SHORT OF POISON
FOR WEEVIL FIGHT
"A survey of the manufacturing pro-
grams for calcium arsenate production
up to June, 1923, made in October,
1922,” said Mr. Coad, ‘‘showed that,
according to the plans then existing,
only about ten and a half, or eleven
million pounds would be produced.
”A short time ago a recanvass of
the entire situation was made and it
was found there is apparently a defi-
nite certainty of production practically
doublng that in prospect last October.
Combining the material already pro-
duced with the anticipated production
for which white arsenate actually
available, about 20,000,000 pounds is
available.
In addition, there are a number of
other sources which cannot be meac-
ured definitely as yet, but which in the
aggregate will probably be able to
produce considerable quantity.
There seems little doubt if demand
justify continued production, at least
25,000,000 pounds of calcium arsenate
will be available.
ARE COLLEGE PROF8. ABSENT
MINDED?
There seems to be a prevalent be-
lief flourishing in this country to the
effect that the major portion of col-
lege professors are absent minded.
From the cartoon page to the para-
grapher’s column this Idea is reflect-
ed in picture and anecdote, until lt Is
almost generally accepted.
We have known quite a few col-
lege professors. Practically all of
them are alert and quick wltted. They
have to be, to live consistently on the
salaries they get.
We know only one college profea-
sor who ls reputed to be absent mind-
ed. But he would have been that way
If he had been a carpenter or a bank-
er, just the same.
