Monday night sixteen and Tuesday night fourteen were at| the alter. There is no “pussy footing” in the preaching; yet nothing offensive or harsh in language but just plain Bible truths set forth in clear good Eng- lish. The attendance is good despite the unfavorable weather. * Last night the speaker took for his subject the rich young man, a ruler in Israel. The text is found in Mark. 10:22 and reads “And went, away grieved. Dr. ‘Miller explained that it was not that the young man had great wealth, or that that wealth had been dishonorably obtained but that he put that wealth in his heart above his God; therefore it became idolatry. That anything else, pleasure, ease or anything else followed in preference to. God was the same kind of sin and ended in destruction unless forsaken sufficiontly to give God the right of way in the heart.

C. The tax law was one of the acts of the Nonpartisan league . legislature passed in 1919, several others of which are under fire in the court. The ac- tion-of the court makes permanent an injunction’ granted by the district court of North Dakota, restraining the collection of tax. Unfair Valuation Seen / The legislature sought to base the excise levy on a strict mileage divi- sion of the total investments of the railroads passing through the state Justice delivering the opinion that this obviously would place an unfair valu- ation upon the property within the state. He pointed out that most of the mileage in North Dakota was across prairie land, but that the tax was based on an average for all mile- age of the lines, including costly con- struction through the mountains. Justice Holmes said the mode of making assessments under the act was “indefensible” and added: “The only reason for allowing a state to look beyond its borders when it taxes is that if it may get the true value of things within it when they are part of an organic system of wide extent, that gives them a value above what they otherwise would possess. The purpose is not to open to taxa- tion what is not within the state. Injunction Justified “Therefore, no property of such an interstate road situated elsewhere can be taken into account unless it can be seen in some plain and fairly intelli- gible way that it adds to the value of the road and the rights exercised in the state. The foregoing conside tions justify the preliminary injun: tion that was granted against’ what would appear to be an unwarranted: interference with interstate commerce and a taking of property without du2 process of law.” Taking a general view of the mode followed in administering the statute, the court said it believed the lower court's decree should be sustained.

The condition of the winter wheat crop continues mostly rather poor to average. The weather was unfavorable for the seed- ing of spring wheat in nearly all ‘sec- tions of the belt and the work is much behind the average at this season. The progress of corn planting was poor in the central west d t, but over the great plains satisfactory progress was made. The weather was more favorable for corn, potatoes, and truck crops over the southern states, Oat seeding was further delayed by wet soil.
