EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
DOMESTIC.—Feb. 2S Oklahoma voted 
in favor of the National equal suffrage 
amendment. 
Constitutionality of the Oklahoma In¬ 
come Tax Act of 1915 was upheld March 
1 by the U. S. Supreme Court in deciding 
appeals brought by Charles B. Shaffer of 
Chicago from Federal Court decrees de¬ 
nying an injunction sought to enjoin 
State officials from taxing under the 
statute Shaffer’s oil holdings in that 
State. He claimed the State had no 
authority to tax non-residente’ incomes. 
Federal Judge Martin T. Manton de¬ 
cided March 3 in Brooklyn, N. Y.. that 
Herman Wessels, who was an officer in 
the German navy and who is charged 
with having been a German spy here 
during the war, a crime for which the 
penalty is death, must stand trial by 
naval court-martial. Wessels had hoped 
for a trial by jury in the Federal court. 
Wessels was arrested on May 1. 191S, 
while posing as “Carl Rodiger.” a citizen 
of the Swiss republic. When Secretary 
Daniels announced recently that Wessels 
was to he tried by court-martial his law¬ 
yer. Thomas J. O’Niel, sued out a writ 
of habeas corpus. It was claimed that 
ns Wessels was arrested in New York 
City, not a war zone, he was not subject 
to the jurisdiction of a court-martial, but 
to the civil courts. 
The New Jersey Senate passed the 3% 
per cent boor hill March 1 by a vote of 
12 to 9 after considerable debate and 
after a hearing had been held during the 
afternoon to satisfy the New Jersey pro¬ 
hibition forces that the hill was not being 
railroaded through. The measure had 
been passed by the House of Assembly, 
and was signed by Governor Edwards 
March 3. It is not intended that brew¬ 
eries shall take advantage of the bill to 
begin the manufacture of beer, or that 
the passage of the hill means that 3.50 
per cent beer will be sold in New Jersey 
at once. Rather the measure is to be the 
basis of a test case, which the New Jer¬ 
sey authorities will begin at once in the 
United States Supreme Court. 
Manufacture and sale of 2.50 per cent 
beer in Wisconsin, under the terms of the 
Mulberger law—a State enactment—were 
legalized March 1 in a decision by Federal 
Judge Ferdinand A. Geiger, who denied 
the petition of Federal officials to dismiss 
injunction proceedings instituted against 
them by the Manitowoc Products Com¬ 
pany, a consolidation of three breweries 
at Manitowoc. The Products Company 
sued for the injunction to restrain the 
Federal officials from interfering with it 
in the sale and manufacture of 2.50 per 
cent beer in the State. 
Tow ns _ throughout Vermont voted on 
the question of license March 2 and about 
75 per cent have voted “wet.” Burling¬ 
ton. St. Albans. Montpelier, Rutland and 
other large places which have been strong¬ 
holds of prohibition for years voted them¬ 
selves into the “wet” column by substan¬ 
tial majorities. In Chittenden County, in 
which Burlington is located, only three 
towns reported “dry.” while 10 voted 
* wet. ’ In other counties the percentage 
was about the same, the “wet” places 
voting “wetter” than usual and many of 
the “dry” towns going into the “wet” 
column. 
. WASHINGTON.—The New York State 
income tax law was held to be unconsti¬ 
tutional March 1 by the United States 
Supreme Court, insofar as it denies ex¬ 
emptions to citizens of other States which 
are granted to its own citizens. Federal 
Court decrees declaring the law discrim¬ 
inatory and permanently enjoining State 
officials from enforcing it against non¬ 
residents held it conflictd with Article IV 
and the Fourteenth Amendment to the 
Federal Constitution. Justice Pitney, who 
rendered the opinion, held that the act re¬ 
sulted in an unwarranted discrimination 
against residents of Connecticut' and New 
Jersey who work in New York City. 
In ; nterpreting the Sherman Anti-trust 
Act March 1 the Supreme Court reversed 
Federal Court decrees which held that 
the statute did not prohibit resale price¬ 
fixing unless there was intention of cre¬ 
ating a monopoly. The opinion was ren¬ 
dered in Government’s appeals from dis¬ 
missal in Ohio of Federal indictments 
charging A. Schrader’s Sons, Inc., manu¬ 
facturers of accessories for pneumatic 
tires, with participation in a combination 
in restraint of trade through contracts by 
which resale prices to retailers and con¬ 
sumers were fixed. In quashing the in¬ 
dictments the lower court construed the 
act to mean that in the absence of alle¬ 
gations charging an intent and purpose 
to monopolize trade the statute did not 
make the acts alleged a crime. 
Senator Reed (Missouri) introduced 
March 1 a resolution calling upon the 
Senate Manufactures Committee to in¬ 
vestigate the alleged “dealings, operations 
and speculations” of the United States 
Grain Corporation and the alleged wheat 
pool. The resolution, which resulted 
from the recent report of the Federal 
Grand Jury in Spokane, Wash., was re¬ 
ferred to the auditing committee. 
Private operation of the country’s rail¬ 
roads was resumed March 1. after 26 
months of Government operation. A 
sharp advance in freight rates is expected 
in the near future, but the railroad execu¬ 
tives have pretty well agreed there will 
be no change in passenger rates. All of 
the changes made by the railroad ad¬ 
ministration will not disappear at once, 
and some of them, notably the central 
ticket offices in larger cities probably will 
he continued as a matter of policy and 
economy. The railroads have 230 cor¬ 
porate owners, a valuation of $20,000.- 
000.000. 647.689 stockholders, 253.626 
miles of track, they carry more than a 
billion passengers a year, and 26 months 
of Government operation cost nearly 
$ 2 , 000 , 000 , 000 .

This part of Herkimer County is devot¬ 
ed to dairying and cheese making. The 
majority of the farmers raise a small crop 
of potatoes as a side line for sale on the 
markets in the Fall. A few of the farm¬ 
ers around here have potatoes for sale, 
and are getting $2.50 per bu. at the local 
markets. Nearly all of the milk goes to 
•the condensery or milk stations and 
brings League prices ou the percentage of 
butterfat. The prices on milk and cheese 
at the present time do not cover the cost 
of production and the price of hired labor. 
Skilled farm help is receiving between $50 
and $75 per month, with board and wash¬ 
ing included. The farmers in the south¬ 
ern part of Herkimer County, including 
that part which is located in the Mohawk 
Valley, devote their time to truck farming 
and milk production. It is difficult for 
the farmers here to obtain good help be¬ 
cause the meu are going to the cities and 
valley towns, where they obtain higher 
wages than the farmer can afford to pay. 
Some of the farmers around this section 
of the county are producing Winter milk, 
but some of them do not think it pays 
because of the high price of dairy feed. 
Farming should he placed ou a cost plus 
basis, and then the people in the large 
cities would not have to worry about a 
shortage of milk. h. a.

An old soldier who fought, at Gettys¬

Before you paint 
this spring— 
send for this book 
Costs so little as 10 cents 
stamps. May save you gal¬ 
lons and gallons of paint, not 
to mention days of time. Sav¬ 
ing paint and painting time, at 
the present price of both, 
means something. 
Don’t think this book is just 
another one of those bragging 
advertisements that tells with 
a loud noise that the paint we 
sell, is “the only paint on 
earth worth buying.” It isn’t 
that kind of a book at all. 
It is not even written by a 
maker of paint, but by a one 
time fanner, who has used lots 
of inside and outside paint, 
and is now living in town and 
still using paint. You’ll like 
the way he tells things, be¬ 
cause you will at once know 
he’s telling exactly what’s so. 
The book’s name is the 
Happy Happening, a paint 
tale of inside and out. Send 
10 cents in stamps for it.
