In the Meaiung of Christmas
■*
IN THE true spirit of the occasion and with due
appreciation of ali it implies, we extend Christmas
greetings to the readers of this publication. Christmas has a meaning possessed by no other holiday
^throughout the World. America has its national and
special days, other countries have theirs; Christmas is
the only one alike in spirit and celebrated in all Christian lands. So pure is its principle that it commands
respect and admiration among people who worship
their Creator in different, ways from ours,  f
Christmas typifies all that is best in mankind. It is the
culmination of the human mind throughout the ages
dwelling upon the^wonders and mysteries of existence,
turning to a reverence for God and His representative on earth. It expresses the ascendency of spirit,
the realization of men of their interdependencv and
their duty to one another; and so it is marked bv the v
bestowal of gifts and other sentiments of berievolence .
and well wishing.' \v   c    /     ^    / ^
The makers of newspapers, concerned as;thev are
with the doings, manifestations and thoughts of their
* respective coHtmunities and the world at large, and %
recording them in their more important aspects for-
the information, mayhap the education of readers, are
brought into an intimate sense of the spirit and meaning of Christmas. Would that we could express to you
all the good that we see in the hearts of men and the
increased brilliancy behind a few shadows of the light
which has upheld the world for so many centuries.
In the happy auguries we see for the future, there is
every reason to be merry. V "*
Our Yuletide thoughts go out to the people of this community and our thanks are due the patrons and kind
friends who have given us practical support or extended
encouragement during the year. May this be the best
Christmas you have ever spent, is our wish to all.

RANCfflSE
By   State  Supreme   Court—
Not Theirs to Determine :
Policy Even If Wrong
Those corporations vsrbieb refused
to p»y tbe franchise tax last summer
or wbicb paid it under protest, are
now notified tbat the state supreme
court has settled tbe whole matter
so far as it can be settled by. finding
tbe franchise tax law constitutional
and valid.   •
Tbey bold tbat tbis revenue, i. e.
tbe tax to do business, is clearly
distinguished from the ta*x to be a
corporation. The former goes into
the general state fond while tbe
Tatter goes as before to tbe public
scbool fund. >
While acknowledging that tbe unequal taxation wbicb this law Imposes is economically unjust and
wrong in policy, tbe supreme Court
avers that tbe question of policy
is . not. tbeir function but belongs
to another branch of the. government.    .
