Decision. | K. C. Times. | A decision of far reaching effect |was rendered by Judge Philips a week ago Saturday at Springtield, and if the decision stands thousands ef dollars’ worth of property is in- volved. Inthe decision in question Judge Philips holds that tax bills against property in cities for stscct and other improvements, which assessed Ono the front foot, wit are regard to value, are inyalid, be hout contrary to the fourteenth g cause ment to the constitution. mend- Owing to the fact that the deci- sion was rendered several days ago at Springfield, it has not attracied the attention that its importauce deserves. As it stands, every city iu Missouri is affected. une The case which gave rise toaud decision was the case of Fay others against the city of Spring field, Mo., and Myrick, a contractor. The: object of the suit was to pre- vent Myrick, as the contractor, from collecting tax bills that had been assessed against Fay’s property, among others, to repave a street. The tax bills are provided for by a Missouri law, and are the same as every city in the state uses in making street improvements. The property along a certain portion of a street is assessed at so much per front foot. The question of depth of lot or value of improvements is not taken into consideration in these assessments. Judge Philips contends that a man who owns a lot of fifty front feet which is unimproved and per- haps a very undesirable lot must pay just the same as the man who owns fifty front feet, with a revenue pro- ducing building, and that for this reason the law is unjust. He cites an Ohio opinion to sustain the point. It is obvious that either Judge Philips is wrong or that the state of Missouri will have to make some changes in her laws. Even if these changes are made, it is problematical as to the result the decision will baye on the thousands of dollars of tax bills now outstanding in the cities of the state. It is almost certain that the case will be appealed to the supreme court’ As the matter now stands, an injaction prevents the collection of outstanding tax bills Is your child puny, ish?

A Little'Reading That Will do You Some Good. A Splendid Article Which All the Peo. ple Are Now Talking Much About. The good news continues to come in from every part of Missouri about the great good Morrow’s Kid-ne-oids are doing for our peo- ple. Kid-ne-oids eure ail forms of kidney trouble, sleeplessness, dizziness and nervous- ness. The people of Butler voluntarily give their statements for publication that their friends Know what to use and be cured. John C. Powell, the trainer of expert ste- nographers and reporters, 426 Ridge Bailding Kansas City, mig » and who has teen in busi ness inthatcity for fifteen years, bas used Morrow’s K as aie with very gratifying results for disordered kidneys and states that he believes they have fully cured him and he | cheerfully recommends them to any one who is suffering from any afliction of the Kidneys. Mr. Powell suffered from backache and ner- veusness; he used a number of different kinds of kidney pills and medicines intended for the Kidneys but nothing has ever done him the zood that Morrow's Kid-ne-olds have done. Hid-ne-olds go right to the seat of the troubie: they act direct!y on the kidneys and nerves | and they positively will cure all forms of Kid- mey and urinary disturbances, sleeplessness, restlessness and nervousness.
