Oral arguments by attorneys on both sides will be heard on February 18. Incorporated in the statement are the constitution and bylaws of the association, | which are said to be closely patterned after those of a prominent lumber dealers’ as- sociation, and a copy of a “lookout” list containing the names of persons permitted to purchase coal of members In carload lots for manufacturing purposes, but who were alleged to be selllng the fuel to con- sumers in violation of the terms made by the assoclation.

EUCLID MARTIN'S HOT AIR Oppressive Taxea Have Nothing to Do with Fallure of Promised New Warehouse to Materialize. “Did you see that announcement of Euclid Martin's to the effect that the Par- lin, Orendorft & Martin concern would not build the new warehouse it had been prom- ising Omaha because taxes here were be- coming too oppressive?” asked an official in the city hall. “I just for information had the tax books looked up to see what taxes Mr. Martin's corporation has been paying and this is what I learned. In 1902 the Parlin, Orendorft & Martin company paid city taxes altogether in Omaha on both real amd personal property essed on the 40 per cent basis at $38,150, which at 30 mills amounted to $1,144.50. For the year 1503 the total jessment of Its prop- erty, real and personal, is $84,050, full val uation on which the city taxes at 10 mills will be only $840.40, or at 12 mills only $1,008.60. Ip other words, Parlin, Orendorft & Martin will pay nearly a third less city taxes this year than last year. As long as 1 can remember Euclid Martin has come up annually before every tax board to get his sments reduced. He aid so this year and got them lowered, first by the Board of Review and then again by the city council. You may be sure it {sn't oppres- tive taxes that prevents his concern from bulldivg. DOUBT ABOUT THE BUILDING urt Make - Indefinite Order for of W. R. Benmmett Property. , Judge Munger has signed an order in the matter of the bankruptcy of the W. R. Bennett company authorizing the trustee to sell all right, title and interest of the mercantile company in and to the Bennett building, if any, at the time of the sale of the other property. As it has not been de- cided that the mercantile company has any right, title or interest in or to the bulld- ing, the words “it any" were inserted in the order. It is sald that because of this doubtful interest an attempt will be made to post- pone the sale from February 10 to February 20, and that between those dates Judge Munger will be called upon to decide to the extent of the interest, if any, the mercantile company may, have in the bulld- ing.
